Operation Awesome First Impressions [video]

[childoforacles.livejournal.com]

[Video connection! The feed cuts in to the face of a girl who seems to be staring distrustfully at whoever's reading it, mainly because she's staring distrustfully at the comm unit.]

[Her attention seems split between the comm and someone off to the side of the camera frame.]

This feels so stupid... My name is Zakuro. Nice to meet you all.

[Then, to the off-screen person, who the mic isn't picking up:]



Okay, what else should I say?

I don't care about any of that! I just need to know what to say!

Argh! Whatever!

[Back at the screen! She clears her throat, and bows.]



I'm from the Ministry of Youjin Affairs, in Japan. On Earth.

I look forward to working with you.

[Off.]

Could have... been a little lengthier, but I guess it got the point across.

Are you sure you don't want to learn how to use it correctly?

[childoforacles.livejournal.com]

I learned how to talk on it, didn't I? That's all I have the patience for. I don't like this kind of thing.

[meganefather.livejournal.com]

Well, it could come useful from time to time. It's better to know about every resource available so you're never pushed into an unsolvable situation.

Um, is technology unusual in your world?

[childoforacles.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately not; it's all over the place these days. Humans keep just doing whatever they want and bringing new things in from other countries.

[to the dead connection.]

Youjin affairs?

[childoforacles.livejournal.com]

It's a government group dedicated to improving relations between youjin and humans.

Oh, youjin are spiritual creatures like oni or kitsune, in case that's what you were asking.

[former-endboss.livejournal.com]

...what a boring answer.

*wave wave* Hi! Nice to meet you! Don't worry, my first impression was pretty scary, too.

[childoforacles.livejournal.com]

What do you mean by 'scary'?

[sweet16days.livejournal.com]

Oh, sorry! I mean the bad kind of scary, not the good kind of scary.

[king-of-flames.livejournal.com]

Not used to this level of tech?

[childoforacles.livejournal.com]

This is even worse than all the human 'innovations' from back home.

[king-of-flames.livejournal.com]

Worse? I dunno, I think these things are pretty interesting myself.

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

YouJIN?

[childoforacles.livejournal.com]

What would you call them?

[faithfultenko.livejournal.com]

Well, I suppose that depends on if we're discussing the same thing. For example, I see from your appearance you have some kitsune in you, am I right?

...Zakuro, right?

[childoforacles.livejournal.com]

That's right.

[doesntgethives.livejournal.com]

...says here you're my roommate.

Youjin?

[childoforacles.livejournal.com]

I guess the more well-known term here is [visible ear twitch of unpleasantness] 'youkai'.

[stoleaherotitle.livejournal.com]

What's wrong with that? It's not like it's some kind of insult or anything.

[bewitchingtales.livejournal.com]

Welcome to CO... Youjin and Human affairs, hmm?

I have to say I would not think such a ministry would exist.

[childoforacles.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I'm pretty surprised myself.

[bewitchingtales.livejournal.com]

Oh?

[He cocks his head at that, his ear flicking a bit]
