[ 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. ]

[Ah yeah, right, her world. It's been such a long time since she's wandered around some completely unknown place and she's never dealt with others from a variety of worlds either. Except maybe in novels.]

They probably are? Bladerunner is based on a book called Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and Neuromancer is one of the first examples of a cyberpunk novel if I remember right.

[Her brows perk up curiously.]

Are you familiar with cyberpunk? As a genre?

Not too much, I'm afraid. I'm more of a fan of the fantasy genre - swords and magic, things like that. That said, I'd like to know more of the appeal of cyberpunk; it's just that it's... too modern for someone like me.

[ says a japanese high school student living in the 21st century. it just means that tsumugi's a bit out of touch when it comes to other kids' interests. ]

[At that Sarah gives a big grin.]

I'll be honest, I'm more of the fantasy type too. This place makes me think more of cyberpunk but my heart will always belong to fantasy.

[ he returns his grin with one of his own! ]

Right? Though it seems that there are people who lived in more fantastical worlds than this one, so it's been interesting to see a mishmash of other cultures mingling with one another. Even so, I'm still relieved that there are people who know of the Western zodiacs back on Earth.
