[ The video feed clicks on to show a young man with bright blue eyes. ]

Hello to anyone who's seeing this. My name is Malcolm Bright and I'm from New York, Earth... 2020. [ That still feels weird to say, but he feels like it helps give people an idea of the world that he comes from. ] Lately I've been doing yoga in the mornings out in one of the parks on Level 2 and I thought I'd put it out there to see if anyone wanted to join me. I'm not a yoga teacher by any means, and you might be better served to see if there's a class at the gym if you really want to learn, but I'm willing to help anyone who's a beginner.

Or, if you'd just rather come and do your own thing while I do mine, that's fine too. [ He realizes that it will be hard to work on his breathing and mindfulness if he has to try to show somebody the poses at the same time. ] We can talk after.

[ Malcolm's looking forward to hopefully meeting some new people this way. This place is huge and he knows he's only scratched the surface when it comes to interactions with his fellow Moonblessed. ]



[ooc: If your character would really like to do some yoga, Malcolm has a prompt for it here on his open log. ]

[ He's met some decent people here too, despite the fact that all of them are stuck. ]

Nobody likes to be technically held against their will.

[demonicbookworm]

And kind of forced to do things you're not comfortable with.

[He's not sure which one is a bigger problem.]

[prodigalmess]

Yeah. [ He gets quiet for a minute. ] It's not really right for them to bring people so young here.

[demonicbookworm]

Young...? Oh, right.

[He guesses people see him as a child. This is his second life though.]

[prodigalmess]

[ Malcolm's been trying not to make it sound like he thinks Ruca is a child, though by the standards and conventions of where he's from, he technically is. ]

Fifteen is... still young where I come from. Maybe it's not where you come from?

[demonicbookworm]

Ah, no. It's the same where I'm from... On the other hand, I am old enough to get recruited to the army.

[So young, yet old enough to be a soldier.]

Ah, b-but... since I was attending school, I wasn't recruited... [He trails off. After his powers as an Avatar awakened, he was captured and forced into the army instead.]

[prodigalmess]

That's good...

[ He feels like there's something that's not being said, but that's okay. Malcolm can't expect a lot of candidness on a video chat with someone he just met. ]

Well, let me know if you ever decide to come out and try yoga. I'd be glad to help you with it a bit.

[demonicbookworm]

[He can't really tell everyone about being a demon-god in previous life and going through a lot of difficulties because of that in his current life.]

I will, thank you!
