Hi, everyone. My name's Rebecca.
[ The video opens on a small, homey apartment, filled with plants and books. Rebecca sits at a small piano, a mug of coffee steaming by her side. She looks...tired, really. It's been a difficult few weeks.
But that's no reason not to keep trying. ]
I was just wondering...what's the state of medicine like in your world? I had thought we were on the cutting-edge back home, but with everything I've seen here, you realise just how far we have to go. Considering everything that happens to us so regularly here, it can be really easy to lose track of your health.
I'm a field medic and a chemist, so I'd never call myself a doctor, but I still wanted to extend an offer to everybody: if you need someone to patch you up or do a quick check-up, call me. If you need medicine - over-the-counter stuff, obviously, not anything serious - then I'll run it over or get someone to deliver it to you. Just... [ She gives a weak smile. ] I want to help a little more, and I don't think being okay with a handgun really holds up against everything others can do, you know?
...anyway, I'm rambling. [ She looks down, playing an idle few bars of a melody. ] I've been staying in a lot. Watching old Disney movies, mostly, and I ended up working on this...
[ She adjusts the sheet music and sets her fingers in position. What follows is a nice little rendition with very few errors. Being able to just concentrate on something helps, a lot. Once it's done, she flashes a quick, embarrassed smile at the camera, then leans over and shuts it off. ]

It's like a candy land, for me. [ well, she's going to be honest about that. Despite how much she's not really a touchy-feely type, she's enjoying finally being able to do something when someone stares at her, that kind of thing. She's spent so long being there strictly for viewing and no touching that the ability to touch is so damn novel. ]
That's not to say that I enjoy being driven by the moons, or anything, but...
I don't have to be referred to as 'Your Excellency' here with a hefty distance between myself and anyone else. It's... refreashing to say the least.
no subject
[ The moons, that is. The other part takes her aback, just a little. ]
Uh...that was normal for you, back home? Being on that sort of pedestal?

Being the Regent's granddaughter it's basically all I've ever known. I never liked it, but it was life and I hadn't known one where I was unknown until I left Romdeau and then now.
[ And she'd relished in it, once she'd gotten used to the rough atmosphere of the outside, and then the cushy atmosphere with the complications of the moons, here. However, being able to walk without having to be addressed, much less get up to.. well.. things without it being all sorts of rumors the next day?
It's powerful, for Re-L. ]
Anonymity hasn't quite had its shine worn off yet.
