[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.]

Could you introduce me? I kind of want to learn the dim sum.

[peerlesscucumber]

Yes, I can facilitate an introduction. I'll try contacting Ren over these devices and speak with you again once I've heard back from him.

[lumberlady]

That would be nice- Thank you, Master Shen.

[is this Konoha's interest? Does she even realize it can be an interest?

WHO KNOWS]

[ SOME REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME LATER ]

Miss Konoha! I spoke with Ren and he consents to teaching you, and expressed some enthusiasm. He should be contacting you here sometime soon.

[ wow his networking is about to pay off in the most heartwarming ways??? MAYBE IT'S AN INTEREST maybe it's just a meal who knows it's all good ]

[lumberlady]

Really? That’s good news! I’m sorry you had to handle that for me, but I do appreciate it!

If they turn out good I’ll share!

[peerlesscucumber]

The apology is accepted, but unnecessary. It was a simple matter.

[ Hah, he ends up showing a small smile at that. What a sweet young woman... only offering good food! (LOOK. HE DIED OF FOOD POISONING ONCE, let's avoid... stomach upsets...) ]

In that case, I look forward to it.

[lumberlady]

[only the good stuff, SQQ- promise!]

[ this is why you're his favourite, Konoha, thank you ]
