Hello. My name is Weiss Schnee.

[ This is how she usually starts her video posts. Best to introduce herself to everyone first, after all! ]

My sister, Winter Schnee, isn't in Lunatia anymore. It's been a few days since, and for those who know her or are... [ A short pause. She's not quite sure if she should say the next word, so when she does, it's accompanied with a very unsure expression and airquotes. ] "friends", the Moon Knights and Lunar Scientia believe that it's because she couldn't produce enough Chroma.

I won't go into the details of the situation of Atlas, our Kingdom, but Winter has been working hard ever since she joined the military. It was nice to see her get to know people here, since she doesn't spend the little free time she has with other people. I'll probably get slapped in the head for saying this, but Winter's not here! So... thanks for keeping Winter company here.

... [ She looks to the side. That was awkward, having to thank a population for being her sister's friend. But she's sure Winter would have done the same for her. While she's here, though, and because she doesn't want to end on an awkward note, she figures out something else to say. ] Oh, and... I suppose since I'm already here—

I'd like to learn how to write songs. Lyrics, specifically. What are some of your favourite lyrics from songs you're fond of? Maybe then I can get some inspiration.

Anyway, that's it. Thank you for your time.

I know a little about lyrics and writing them, but I'm better with music.

Hmm, though.
Ha ha ha, I guess "knock me out with them American thighs" since it suits me. ;)

[schmisse]

That's in a song?

[ This is a little difficult to process. ]

[torsion]

Rock music. The band's name is AC/DC.
I'm a fan.

I'm sorry, by the way. I can't imagine what it must feel like being apart from someone you love like this.

[ She can. ]

[schmisse]

Thank you. I'll be fine, though. Winter and I will see each other again.

[ Weiss is very sure of that. ]

So, what does it mean to have "American thighs"? I've gone to America! At least, a fake one, anyway. The one in Dimension X! The people at the courthouse thought I was a prosecutor.

[ Just Weiss' adventures with Dick Gumshoe. ]

[torsion]

Ha ha, that's the way to look at it. :)
If you need anything in the meantime, don't hesitate to ask.

It's not a particular saying or anything.
Wait.
Did you happen to go with Dick Gumshoe?

[ Only because she had a similar experience with her wholesome manfriend. ]

[schmisse]

Yes! I didn't get to explore much of the city, but it was so exciting visiting someone else's world, actually!

[torsion]

Right? I've never done anything like that! Unless you count being here!

His world seems so peaceful.

[schmisse]

A lot more peaceful than where you come from, I'm sure.

[ Because, boy... ]

Do you think we'd actually be able to visit worlds of our friends some day? Or are we going to be stuck here forever?

[torsion]

Aside from the volume of Dick's voice occasionally? Definitely.

I hope so. Home and visiting, I mean.
I'd like to see other places, too. I think it's a kind of intimacy you can't have with someone otherwise. Does that make sense?

[schmisse]

It does. At least, I think I understand what you mean.

Earth in general seems to have so many lovely places to visit. I wish I could see them all and experience what home is like for my friends.

[torsion]

It helps you learn more about someone's life, even if you don't see it the way they do every day.

Earth does seem to be common for a lot of us.
But it seems to be a different one.
He and I are from different versions of the planet, to my knowledge.

[schmisse]

His was normal. No monsters.

What did you do there?

[torsion]

Weird, right?

We had noodles. And I made him show me his work.

[schmisse]

Cup noodles?

[torsion]

A nice sit-down.
But he does come off as a guy that only eats cup noodles, huh.

[schmisse]

He told me that that's what he eats often because it's all he can afford! I'm very concerned for hi and his diet!

[torsion]

Don't worry.
I make sure he eats better here than where he came from.
