[ After playing around with the device for a bit, now that they finally have time to settle in after the vine madness, Fish has the thing mounted nicely at an angle high enough to give the network a nice view of their head to the top of their shoulders—much like a beauty blogger really. They’ve got an eye for beauty and they put it to use here. They have a bare face at the moment, but it’s still a pretty face with smooth purple skin that fades to lilac on their face, their throat, and the front of their chest. ]

I suppose if everyone is using this thing to ask questions, I might as well ask one of my own.

[ They take a small brush loaded with sea green pigment and draw it over each of their eyelids as a thick eyeliner with practiced, precise movements. ]

Cosmetics and clothing. Has anyone gone shopping recently? I’ve noticed this place is just far too different from the one I know. So I think I could use some guidance. Or some company. Company preferable.

[ They chuckle to the camera and shimmy their shoulders, like a practiced coquettish performer. They pop open a small glass jar of deep purple pigment and another brush. And they quickly fill in their lips with the same neatness as their eyes. ]

There is a lot I want to acquire if I’ll be staying here for a while. So, let me know if you’d like to go shopping.

Oh, by the way. In case we haven’t met... you can call me “Fish”.

[ They wink. ]

[Austria turns on the video feed, looking a bit frantic, ultimately grateful, and his hair somewhat out of place.]

I am in desperate need of pomade, or mousse, anything to keep me from having to comb it back every few minutes. I can't stand it any longer.

Roderich! I don't have anything like that on me, but looks like you've got excellent timing! Come shopping with me?

I'd be glad to. Should we plan on sometime this week? Tomorrow?

[look at this man slowly getting over his fear of marine life because he needs hair products]

Tomorrow sounds wonderful! I’m meeting someone today so hopefully tomorrow I’ll have a better idea of how to shop here! Where shall we meet though?

[He pauses for a moment. He's very budget-conscious, but he's had... a few awkward, definitely embarrassing encounters already, so his chroma looks like it may allow for some flexibility...]

I think I will be able to swing PrismaPlace, if that's all right with you.

[...Wealth is going to be a direct indicator of one's personal matters here, isn't it? He's not sure how he feels about this.]

[freshtilapia]

That isn't a problem at all!

[Fish genuinely isn't giving much attention to it. But if it is anything, Fish is actually pretty well-off currently.]

I'll see you there.
