[ The 'gear flips on for whoever might be paying attention. In view is a young lady with blonde hair and gold eyes holding the camera out in front of herself Selfie Style with a big grin. She isn't familiar but she already seems... Pretty settled and HAPPY TO BE HERE. ]

Ciao~!! I hope everyone is having a looooo~ooovely day! Your newest resident is here!! It's been a couple days and a loooong boat ride but Mari is here~!

I didn't wanna say hi until I got settled in with my new friend-- [ She pans the camera over her shoulder to a Staryu doing what appears to be a half-assed cartwheel behind her. ] Say hi, Spinel! Time for your close-up!

We're so happy to be here. I can't wait to tell my friends back home about all the cute animals I'm supposed to be looking after. [ Animals, yes. Also, she seems okay and not having a panic attack?? That's good. ]

We're gonna be heading out soon to do some exploring. If anyone has any tips or knows the cutest critters, let me know what to look out for~

Say something sweet and I'll blow you a kiss~

Bye-bye!

Wha-- Yes! I'm an ice king! I'm a total ice king! Hey, wait a minute...

[ Potya was laughing, right until Yuri was shrugging her off and she was clawing and clambering to stay attached. ]

Don't get me wrong! I'm just.. being helpful, that's all!!

[guiltyeyes]

[ oh pLEASE. ]

TECHNICALLY you're a real ice king. So I gueessss...

[borschtkot]

You guess, you mean you KNOW I'm a real ice king!! Whatever.. Look, if ... if you need any help you can just hit me up, alright? It doesn't mean anything though.

[ Quick, resharpen that edge! ]

[guiltyeyes]

[ Boy, you as soft as cotton to her. ]

Absolutely!

What do you mean that it doesn't mean anything, hm?

[borschtkot]

[ Frozen cotten. With.. with sharp bits that stick out and poke you. ]

It doesn't MEAN anything, I'm just doing what anyone else would be doing!

[guiltyeyes]

You really remind me of a friend of mine.

[borschtkot]

Oh do I? And who would that be?

[guiltyeyes]

My best friend Dia. She's kind of cold but when you talk about things she likes, she perks right up.

She's super smart and dignified. I bet you are too.

[borschtkot]

Oh.. well.. yeah. I mean..

[ That wasn't exactly what he'd expected. Smart and dignified? Yuri finishes classes at least, but smart...? Dignified.. he had more character witnesses to the opposite of that. ]

...W-well whatever. Is there anything else I can help you with?
