[Good morning, Lunatia. The video starts with a view of hooves, a too close view of a face... and then finally... a centaur? Who keeps looking off screen while she talks and never seems to actually focus on the lens correctly.]

Hello? Can everyone see me? Connor, am I doing this right? Okay? ... Okay.

[She clears her throat and dips into a bow, the camera bobbing along with her.]

Hello! This is Konoha... some of you maybe think my name is Shizu, but- It's Konoha! I'm from Echigo province, in Japan, if you know it... and I'll be in your care.

If you don't know me, which, I figure is most of you, this city must be even bigger than the capital I'm the... well in my world we say jinba but I'm the "centaur". I haven't seen anyone else like me so I think I can say "the"...

Anyway... what I wanted to ask was... if anyone had an recommendations for... shops? I've never really shopped before, and I haven't seen any locals quite like me, so if you know somewhere that does... I don't know, tailoring? Or a restaurant with really big seats or tall tables? Anything like that!

I'd appreciate it, so... thank you very much!

[Another bow, another bob of the camera... and a blurry flash of android helping her turn the dang thing off. Thanks, Connor.]

[ Hmm hmm HMMMMM ]

Why don't we do a little shopping around then, so you can try on different fabrics and see which you like best?

[ She's inserting herself into this shopping trip, sorry Konoha. ]

[lumberlady]

[the more the merrier if you ask her?!]

Are you sure you don't mind? I'll try to find some way to pay you back if I can!

[byanyother]

Of course not. You'd be doing me a favor; I fear most of my friends here aren't as keen as admiring pretty clothing and jewelry as I am.

[ she's run out of people to drag to the mall with her ]

[lumberlady]

I can definitely do some admiring, I think?

[even if she finds the fancier things a bit too intimidating, she can dfinitely look at them and marvel!]

[ thanks for being a pal, konoha ]

Wonderful! [ she claps her hands; the camera goes a little shaky ] Then whenever you have time, we can go on a little shopping trip.

[lumberlady]

[she can handle being entrusted with this important duty! she thinks

this other lady seems really excited, so!]

How about the day after tomorrow then? Is that alright, Miss... ?

[byanyother]

Just Rosetta is fine. [ Even if 'Miss' makes her feel much better than 'ma'am'. ] And the day after tomorrow is wonderful. I look forward to it, Konoha.

[lumberlady]

Rosetta, then. That's a really pretty name.

I'll meet you... at the "train station"?

[byanyother]

Not nearly as cute as Konoha.

[ said with a wink ]

But that sounds perfect. I'm sure we'll find you something absolutely wonderful.

[lumberlady]

[Aww]

Let's find you something nice and shiny, too!
