[ The Sanguis moon is out and Samatoki's wolf features have manifested yet again. His white hair is bushy and messy, but it's still easy to spot the white pointy ears peeking out atop his head. His tail, from the video, isn't that easy to spot, but it's wagging slowly from left to right, then right to left.

The video is held up at a selfie angle, and metal bars can be seen behind him. Is he in a... cell? And is he chilling on the floor? Yeah. ]

Hey, chicks and dicks of Lunatia. Name's Samatoki, and this is one of the holding cells in the city. How'd I get here? [ He chuckles. Somehow, he seems proud of being arrested?!?!? ] Some shits were bein' creeps to some people at a bar so I stepped in and got into a fight. The rest're in another cell, so it's just me here with no one to talk to. The cops said I could moonlace with 'em if I wanna pay bail. Shit, not even a dumbass would do that.

You'd think people'd let you go after destroyin' a hugeass window 'cause you saved a buncha lives, but I guess that's just not how society works. [ Why is he talking about society now ] The shitty Moon Knights said bail's 300 Chroma. I ain't got that much, but it's not a big deal. I got... 9 more hours 'til they release me.

Was goin' through the app store 'cause I got nothin' else to do and downloaded this rhythm game called Boom Fantasy. Said it's the number one app and all. Took a while for the game to patch but when it finally did, I played through the tutorial and got 4-star and some 3-stars. Guess my luck ain't so bad, and that makes up for gettin' cuffed and endin' up here.

[ He's so bored!!! There's a moment of silence where he just shows the rest of the cell. It's empty except for the one magazine on the floor. Samatoki's been laying on the floor for some time until he decided to make this post. ]

Anyone else play this shit? I get 5 gems if I make 3 new friends.

There's something I've been thinking about for a while so I hope all of you will be patient enough to indulge me.

A good deal of fantastic and seemingly-impossible things happen in this place, ranging from all of us raising dragons to encountering killer plants like ones out of an old horror movie. I know that I don't just speak for myself when I say that a lot of the things we encounter here simply don't happen where I'm from... In fact one could even call all of it downright impossible and against the laws of nature and physics! I mean, the moons changing us into animals? Some mysterious space society that we've "mysteriously" encountered right when they need our help? It almost sounds like a video game!

Which brings me to the question I'd like to pose to all of you...

How do you know that any of this is reality?

[ The feed opens to Ren standing in front of the camera, scowling just a little bit at the person holding the device, though he looks more vaguely amused and exasperated than anything. He holds a piece of paper in his hands, though at the moment, what it actually says is obscured. ] This is really what I have to do? I did apologize, you know.

[The response to that, of course, is just a chuckle and a shrug from somewhere off camera.] It’s either this or I could think of something… better.

[Something about her tone suggests that it probably wouldn’t be any better, though.]

I'm...kind of scared to know your 'better'. [ He admits, sighing dramatically. ] My incredibly kind, smart, and forgiving girlfriend [ He raises an eyebrow at her beyond the camera. ] has agreed to forgive me for being a giant jerk if I do this, so...

[ With that, Ren holds the paper up. Across it in Pidge's neat handwriting are two sentences: Hi! My name is Ren, and the only form of exercise I get is jumping to conclusions!. Is Ren blushing a little? No, of course not, not at all. It's a trick of the light, clearly. ] ...Wait. I exercise! [ Someone apparently didn't actually read the sign beforehand. ]

[That actually makes her laugh, but she appreciates that he’s willing to go along with it, at least. Of course, the flattery helps as well. Pidge waits patiently for him to do as she’s asked, and when he’s done so, she gives him a thumbs up.]​​​​​​​

Do you?

[She’s skeptical, Ren, but willing to give the benefit of the doubt since he’s being so cooperative. Had he read the sign beforehand? Pidge honestly can’t say for sure. Knowing Ren, probably not. But that’s fine, as long as he’s willing to admit that he made a mistake before.]

I get exercise with you. [ Waggling his eyebrows at her, Ren approaches to take the device. Then, quick as the fox he is, he snatches it up and turns it on Pidge. ] How about 'My name is Katie and I s-- [ But the video cuts out before Ren can finish or be murdered, the victim of a stray button press. ]
