[ The video starts off with Riou sitting at a table, dressed in camo as per his.. tastes, always. It's hard to tell where he is, but there's a camo net draped over the wall like it's some kind of lovely curtain. He thought it best to make it look nice for his first video post. Riou himself has all of his Sanguis parts- wolf ears atop his head above his normal ones, a wagging tail, long canine teeth are what's visible. ]

My name is Riou. I got a few things from the Ware Wolf Shop. I wanted to share them. I haven't unboxed them yet. This will be a two-part video.

[ They weren't exactly shipped, but he got them in boxes so they were easier to carry!! So this is Riou's inboxing stream. 'u' ]

I have two items. This is the first. [ He holds up the bigger box, then opens it up with his bare hands. No box cutter needed, Riou is stronk. He shows the open box top to the video to reveal the top of the Birdbox. He pulls it out and sets it on the table in front of him. The metal bird seems to come to life, tilting its head from side to side with a small tweet. ]

This is a Birdbox. It looks nice. If you sing to it, it learns your world's music. Let's try.

[ And Riou raps a couple verses of Yokohama Walker. He waits for a minute until the bird stops.. doing whatever it's doing, it looks like it's tweeting up a storm and flying around. ]

Play Bayside Smoking Blues. [ It starts playing this! Riou looks pleased. ] He's not here, that was a good test. Looks like it works.

[ He puts the cage down on the ground under the table, so now the song is just playing in the background for the rest of the video. Then he pulls a much smaller box, a bracelet box. ]

This is the Dusklight Bracelet. [ He opens it up and shows the camera. It's kind of blurry since it didn't focus right away. He sets it down and takes it out. ] You wear this and it will make one of your moonblessings permanent. I want to keep my ears. They're good for hunting.

[ He slips it on. ] I don't know how you tell it that. I could end up with the wrong one. [ .......Too late. Oh well. ]

We'll check in tomorrow to see, once the moon is gone.

[ He gives a brief wave, then turns the video off...






And sure enough the video starts up again, this time he's responding live, and he has just the ears since the second part of the video is no longer during Sanguis moon like the pre-recorded part. ]

I don't know how it works.

[ ...But it did. He reaches up with both hands and holds the tips of his wolf ears. What a mystery. He gives a thumbs up to the camera. Unboxing video over. ]

A two-part video! I see you played the first part before showing up now.

[At least, she thinks he's live and this isn't like Youtube.] I remember watching these kind of videos before, unboxing. There is something rather satisfying about it...

Anyway, your songs from back home are really, how to say, cool! So that is what Jyuto sounded like. I suppose it would be nice if he was here to hear your music live.

[But now to the more important part.] That was the first time I've seen you as a wolf. Why did you feel like keeping your ears? [It's a very conscious choice as well.]

Re: video

[grylls]

Mm. I pre-recorded it and played it to go with this one.

[ Or however it works. Insert vague RP network technology here. ]

Jyuto has a nice voice. I can play our songs for you now in completion, too.

[ He kind of wanted to show her and it didn't feel right to show her the whole thing without Jyuto around, so this is great. ]

I'm in another world without as much knowledge of the environment and without being able to immerse myself while living in the city. The ears help with hunting and awareness, since I can hear better.

[hoasen]

[She nods in understanding.] Ah, this is clever. You're good with videos too, you're quite talented.

[He still figured it out!]

I would love to listen! Before we had trouble only because you didn't have Jyuto, but now I can hear the songs with all your voices, no?

[She totally gets it since Samatoki and Riou did tell her this. It's not live, but it's close enough, and she knows the voices behind it.]

Your skills in adapting are unparallel. You embraced the idea of having those ears on you so soon, it's very brave. They do suit you.

[grylls]

Thanks. I don't know how good I am at it, but it was enjoyable. I decided to do it because it sounded like a scam to be able to change your physical makeup so easily.

[ If his money gets taken then liiiike oh well, he'll deal with it. He's not worried about starving or homelessness or anything, so if he takes a risk then he doesn't have to worry about it. He can try so other people don't have to get burned. ]

Now no one else has to worry about it being fake.

[ He smiles, then adds: ] You can come over whenever you want to listen.

[hoasen]

I liked it! If it were like back home, I would click the like button. Are you going to do these more often?

[She understands that people watch these for the same reason as well. And also, it looks like that many seem to be getting lucky in getting the changes they want. In his case, he proved that the product works, and he got the ears he wanted. Good karma? Also Riou, why are you so kind.]

You're doing so much for them, truly.

[She nods eagerly.] I would like that! I was planning on coming over the visit some time this week.

[This also means she can see the ears up close.]

[grylls]

I might. I want to try a lot of new things. If people are interested I can do more.

[ He isn't sure how to tell if people are interested without Likes though?? It's not like there's a comment section like on the internet, just people who want to have a conversation with him. He might just do it because he's doing it anyway and it's fun. ]

Let me know when so I can be home.

[hoasen]

I think it'll be nice. Like...how about cooking or your survival tips? You're always wanting to help.

[His tutorials would be great, he was a good and patient teacher when he showed her how to work that trap. Besides, conversing with him is fun, and she would give him any hypothetical likes.]

Are you free later today? Or tomorrow. [She's just picking something early to have a starting point before they organise a time.]

[grylls]

I'll make them then.

[ He's not difficult to talk into things if he likes you, really. ]

I want to test my ears tonight. I can make you lunch tomorrow if you come then.

[ He'll catch something using his ears tonight!! ]

[hoasen]

I'll watch every single one. How to say, groupie? Yes. I believe that is what they call them. I will be your groupie.

[What a fucking loser.

How exciting! She brightens up at mentions of lunch.]

Oh! Please tell me what that is like, tomorrow. I am looking forward to eating whatever you catch and make. If you need help preparing lunch, I can come earlier.

[grylls]

It's good to have a fan like you.

[ They wouldn't be popular without fans!! ]

What we have for lunch will be all you need to know.

[ Watch him come home with a predator or something!! >:) ]

[hoasen]

I'll make banners!

[That's what fans do, right? She's seem them in tv and magazines, she'll just research more.]

Oh? I'm curious! Ah, but I should sit tight, to see what you bring home.

[She's going to be impressed either way because RIOU IS COOL.]

[grylls]

I may have to change plans if I can't find one, so it will be a surprise.

[ He's going to fight a crystal bear...... ]

[hoasen]

[She blinks when he says that, because what on earth is he getting!!]

Ah, a precaution in case it's not the one. I hope it's what you would like to find. I'm excited.

[grylls]

[ This is gonna be a Man vs Wild style dinner.

There will be so much meat they're gonna have to freeze some, he hopes Sen likes it so she'll take some home.. ]

I'll see you then.

[hoasen]

[She's already so into it. If it's outside, she'd still be down. And leftovers, her favourite!!]

I'll see you then, yes! Let me know how it goes along the way.

[grylls]

[ Okay he's signing off now then!! He gives her a thumbs up as confirmation then turns the feed off. ]
