[Rin is having a bit of an... issue today.

Since about, oh, three or four months ago he's been tying his hair back, as being in a place like Chroma Village (no relation to anything in Prismatica) didn't exactly allow for much hair maintenance outside of cold water washing and maybe taking a knife to it if one was really desperate. Kaoru had managed to get her hands on some better care products, but that still didn't mean he was going to get needed trips to the barber.

As such a hair tie and a messy low ponytail was about all he could do.

Until today.

When he woke up with big, fluffy, Maine Coon-like cat ears atop his head, making it much more difficult to even get a brush through his shaggy mess, let alone pull it back in a ponytail without causing himself pain.

As such when the video turns on he's got a mass of hair hanging in his face, covering his eyes, and very twitchy cat ears showing his annoyance.

In the background, someone is giggling.]

Can anyone tell me where to get this [an angry point at the Anime Extreme Bangs he's got going on] taken care of? Without gettin' my damn ears cut off?

But you look so cute!

Kohaku... I can't see...

[She doesn't say anything else, but there's another giggle as Rin sighs and ends the video.]

Good morning, Prismatica! (Video)

Greetings, Lunatia!

[ Anyone watching this can tell right from the start that this is going to be a bombastic introduction. Not only does Leo almost yell her greeting - she's used to being record on-site, with plenty of background noise or a large press pool - she's also arranged for a suitably dramatic backdrop, having apparently situated herself on the top of a tower somewhere with the city's skyline glowing behind her, cape flapping in the breeze. ]

Like a lot of you, I'm settling in here after a busy week of scares and action. But I just didn't feel comfortable. Know why that is?

[ She pauses, like she's actually waiting for an answer. Used to that live studio audience. ]

Because I haven't had a chance to thank you all for your invitation and welcome! I may not have been summoned here alone, but I would be remiss if I didn't express my gratitude to our hosts for letting me take part in their event. Spooky, wasn't it? [ The pause again. ] And no less if I didn't get to know all you challengers, heroes, and assorted interstellar flotsam who've preceded me, or arrived by my side. I look forward to learning all about life here from my seniors... but don't think getting here ahead of me means I'll take things easy on you, haha.

Well, I'm sure you some of you want to know who I am to presume that much. My name is Leonmitchelli Galette des Rois. [ Yeah she's named after a cake. Can't hardly get more anime than this. ] Sovereign Protector of the Lion's Marches of Galette. But here, of course, I am but your humble servant.

[ She bows on the word humble, but flashes a smirk just a little too early in the motion to be hidden. ]

And without an army too. Nothing to do but invade you lot one at a time. [ Fingergun- nah, she just laughs. ] But I do hope you'll all get in touch. Your names, your stories, your letters of challenge, I'll welcome them all.

And... [ Leo more or less drops her game face. ] A special thanks to everyone who helped me with the ins and outs of the bracelet. [ That can be you, listener, if you're into assumed CR. Even if your character would thoroughly regret being associated with this. ] It does yet leave a few things to be desired, so I'm looking for professional recording equipment and a studio. If you have one, or a favorite to recommend, send the name my way.
