[ The video post flickers on to show two people, both looking rather different in demeanor. The taller of the two looks to have a scowl on his face, and eyes and hair a matching deep green. He’s not happy to be here, he doesn’t even feel comfortable leaving the apartment. Which is why he’s here with the shorter of the two boys.

It would’ve been hard to tell that the scruffy, blue-haired boy is the older of the two, but that’s probably part of his charm and it shows in how he addresses the network with a bright smile and a wave of his hand, as if he were a natural at this. ]


--Oh, I think we’re on! Hello, Lunatia! We’d like to introduce ourselves first of all: My name is Aoba Tsumugi, and this kind lad over here is my roommate! Ah, you should say hello too, Midorima-kun!

[ He gestures at the screen as smoothly as he could.

Midorima’s brows furrow before he’s even finished talking, looking mildly annoyed. What he’s annoyed about becomes apparent within only a few seconds as he doesn’t say hello and instead focuses in on correcting what he thinks was wrong with that sentence. ]


Who’s a “kind lad”? Focus on the task at hand.

[ Apparently, that’s all the greeting he’s bothering with. Tsumugi can only sigh a little before facing the screen again, smile still intact. ]

This is Midorima Shintarou, by the way. Seriously, kids these days… Um, but before I go off track, the reason why we’ve put this up is because we have one thing in common, and that is horoscopes. Luck, in general. Do you know there are apps here that tells you your daily fortune and what lucky item to bring around with you to ward off bad luck? Technology’s so amazing! Even though we’re from different worlds, it’s nice to know that there are other people who believe in them -- and that is why we are here today.

[ Midorima’s worried that Tsumugi’s going to go on for too long, so he chimes in with a much more direct demand of their audience over the network. ]

Respond with your astrological sign or birthday if you aren’t sure. We’re also looking to know what items are considered lucky in other worlds that may be incorporated into an apartment.

Y-You can just ask nicely them, you know! People wouldn’t know how to respond if you’re being demanding like that... [ why are tsunderes the way they are, man ] Anyway, it’d be very helpful for us to know everyone’s signs and birthdays to balance out of luck if it ever goes bad for a day so that we can stick with those people for a while… I’m a Leo and he’s a Cancer, if that helps.

Also! If anyone knows other forms of divination such as palmistry and tarot, that’d be greatly appreciated as well… I’m honestly more comfortable consulting with someone privately about my fortunes rather than rely on technology all the time, so let me know if it’s all right to approach you for regular sessions! I’ll pay with Chroma if I have to.


[ Midorima just decides to move on and end the video. He’s not going to give Tsumugi the chance to say goodbye. ]

We’re done.

[ And the video cuts out. ]

They are, yes! Though Prismatica's technology is a little too advanced compared to where I came from, so it took me a while to get used to it. I'm not too used to tech myself, to be honest.

I've never heard of dancing in order to predict the future, though! That's so exciting.... Was this handed down from generation to generation or do you make the steps up on your own?

It's learnt, but also innate.
Only the Oracle can dance as they do to gain visions, you see.
Their protectors and guides can only motivate.
I wish I could explain it better, but it's better seen than worded.

Does your world have knowledge like this too, then?

Well, kind of. Things like oracles are usually more commonly known as myths back home, but I've never met an true-to-form oracle before. I'm quite honored, in fact!

Then, is it all right to watch you perform this ritual whenever's the right time for you? I also dance as my profession back home, but it's mainly to entertain the audience.

Myths, you say...?
I hope I can dispel that, at least here.
Oracles are very real where I come from, at least.

You're welcome to watch, if you'd like.
I'd love to see your dancing too.
I want to learn all sorts of dancing!
May I know your name?

My name is Aoba Tsumugi. And it'd be such an honor to learn from you! The best thing about being gathered in one place from all over various universes is that you can learn so many things from other people whose lives you've only read in books... I live in a rather mundane world as an idol, you see.
