[it seems the centaur on the screen has figured out how to use the video function better than last time, fully visible on screen in front of the propped up bracelet... until she bows low, respectful]

Hello! I'm terribly sorry to bother all of you again, but- For those who don't know me, my name is Konoha... I'm a jinba, which some of you call a "centaur"... but I'm not from, um, Greece, or anywhere like that. I'm from Echigo, in Japan.

[straightening back up, her fingers start to twist together a bit anxiously, a bit of a blush barely visible beneath dark skin]

I just wanted to ask... and I know I can only ask, but. My, ah... my husband arrived here just recently, and this place is... I don't think I can really explain in words how overwhelming it is compared to where we come from.

And that's- My parents are human, I've always been around them, but he's mostly been in the deep mountains since he was young, so all these people...

I just want to ask that, if you see him lost, or... upset, somewhere... Could you please contact me? I don't really look at the "posts" on this thing much but I promise I'll always answer calls!

His name is Gonta, and... well, he's the only other jinba here, I'm pretty sure. He's about three or four hands taller than me, with palomino coat and white socks, and he has a patch over one eye... You really, really can't miss him.

I just... I want to keep showing him that humans can be good. Not humans, too! So. I'll be in your debt if you could just... be understanding, if you meet him. And maybe... Not tell him I made this post? Haha... Thank you so much for listening!

[and with another bow... the recording ends.]

That’s alright... a lot of people here say that. And... I’ve been doing it since I was small, when my parents took me in, but... Gonta isn’t used to it like I am.

My daughter had a weird growing up compared to other kids, so I get that. Let us know if anything changes - though I'm sure the folks here are happy to accomodate.

Oh- You have a daughter? What’s her name?

[she wants at least two...]

Sunny. She's eleven, now. Really blossomed into a beautiful, brilliant person. I'm glad she'll carry on the family name, without my curse coming along with it.

Sunny? That’s such a nice name-

[wait]

You’re cursed?

Well, the family bloodline is. She's adopted, so I don't have to worry about that. Besides... she's not a man.

The men of your family... what happens to them?

We get involved in things we really shouldn't. That's all. But that's in the past, and now I have a great daughter I spend every day missing.

[that... doesn’t sound like her image of a curse but maybe he just doesn’t want to get into something upsetting?]

I see... I’m really sorry you’re separated from your daughter. Is your partner taking care of her?

He's... not with me anymore. Or her. He was alive, here, for a time, but not anymore. She's taken care of, either way, and I've heard good things about time moving differently here. I just worry, y'know?

Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm just making it worse with everything I ask...

[fnekwlgnweg hoof in mouth...]

I know what you mean. Even if they tell us time won't move or whatever, how are we supposed to not worry?

You didn't know. It's okay.

[ It's a sore spot for him, but you can't expect everyone to know everything or be psychic. If it were the latter, the question may not have been asked! ]

Do you have any little jinba around back home?

[At least he's forgiving about it ;;;;]

Back home we weren't married yet, so no... But from now, I guess there will be that to consider...

[someone maybe missed the Lunatian infertility memo]

Oh, uhm, people are sterile here. Moonblessed, I mean. To encourage us to... make lots of Chroma. I was --

[ This is just so awkward to talk about in general, let alone to someone randomly on the network. ]

-- I was also worried about that, but, uh, don't be.

What do you mean?

[because she's not so quick with the medical terms but also... doesn't want to believe that????]

Of course it will make lots of chroma... right... ?

Yes, but, what I mean is, Moonblessed can't have kids. Not here, anyway.

... Maybe that's just the humans! There's a lot of them here, after all. If everyone was having kids there'd probably be way too many.

I would... just not get your hopes up. I don't know how it works for other races.

It's not like they could just...

[She almost says they couldn't do that, as if they hadn't already done the impossible and showed up here, but-]

I'm sure it will be fine!
