[The feed ends almost as soon as it begins. Only a flicker of video is shown before it cuts out.

However, it goes in and out several times, and each time it shows a brown-haired man in a bright orange blazer with an awestruck expression on his face. He seems to be pressing several buttons on his screen at once, saying something that's hard to make out since he keeps cutting the feed out. In reality, this idiot has probably made several little video embeds on accident.]

Ho-- [click] he hec-- [click] does this th-- [click] work?! ... Ah?

[Finally, the feed is stable. The man grins, triumphant that he got it to work.]

Finally! Man, this thing is so cool! I never thought I'd get to touch a real holographic screen in my lifetime. This stuff is only in sci-fi movies back home!

Anyway, the name's Larry Butz, and I'm stayin' in the Freya House from now on. Y'know, the house that's practically full of girls? Yeah, that one. [He looks especially proud of this.] Nice to meet you guys, and stuff.

But my main reason for this post was I wanted to ask you guys something. What do you do for fun around here? I saw some kind of "comfort house" on the way to the welcome hall and that looks promising, but what else is there here? Any clubs or something like that?

[Is it obvious enough that this guy lost his map? And what about that "mission" they're supposed to be on? This man has other priorities.

He looks thoughtful for a moment, as if he's trying to figure out how to end this ridiculous post.]

So, uh, yeah. Thanks!

There's only one club that I've heard of so far.

[Look at that, responses off the bat...and from cute girls, no less.]

So there is a club? Awesome. What's it like?

[video]

[starryguyed]

It's for people without friends!

[video]

[perfectionisms]

Oh. It's you.

I'll tell Miles about this. I'm sure he'll be happy to see you.

[Larry gawks. What is this--]

F-F-Franzy?! I thought I was the only one from our...

[Oh, there's more? ... Well.]

Edgey's here too?

[perfectionisms]

You thought you were the only one from our what? Finish your sentences!

[ The answer to the second question is so obvious. She's not even going to bother with that. ]

[ She waves at the screen. ]

Hi, house-mate~!

[Larry waves back, rather enthusiastically.

He loves this house.]

Hey! Glad to be here.

What's your name?

[unify]

I'm Orihime~ Larry, ne? Are you settling in just fine?

[freying]

That's what this is called? A "real holographic screen?"

[ The more you know... ]

audio;

[failures]

Uh-huh. Well, that's what they've always called 'em in the movies.

[freying]

The movies?

[ She sounds as if she's asking a question -- and she is. She has no idea what he's referencing. ]

[suppressthedark]

Comfort house?

[Uhh yeah what, he didn't see anything like that.]

[video]

[failures]

Yeah! There's one in the Freya district or whatever.

[video]

[suppressthedark]

O...kay.

[Making mental note not to go there, then!]

You've just gotten here too, right?

Every batch of newcomers always seemed to include at least one familiar face, it seemed.

BUT WHY THIS FACE. WHY THIS FACE OF TROUBLE.]

[He ended up in Freya House. Why am I not surprised?]

[WELL, FRANZISKA, YOUR BROTHER KNOWS. HE KNOWS ALL TOO WELL WHAT WILL HAPPEN SOON NOW THAT THE BUTZ IS IN THE HOUSE.

Anyway, when the feed switches on, this is a very exasperated prosecutor who honestly doesn't know what to feel now that one of his old friends is in Asgard as well - the one who was more of a liability than the other, even. His chin rests on his hand and his other hand is occupied with a few papers.]

I have no time for "fun", Larry.

[wristbands]

[oh. that's...amusing...]

...Is that really the first thing you ask about?

[failures]

Why not? I think I got the gist of everything else.

[Lies.]

[attorneyatloud]

Seriously? That's your question?

...There aren't any. [Apollo might not know for sure, but he hasn't seen any.]

But hi. My name's Apollo.

[failures]

Is it really that bad of a question?

Come on... [What did he say his name was?] Apollo, there's gotta be something.

[rules_the_north]

...'sn't mostly g'rls.

[And a part of why he's so firm about this is that that would imply that he is somewhat of a girl WHICH HE IS NOT shuddup knitting and cooking and mothering all the kids are totally manly activities.]

[failures]

That's what I've seen so far.

Are you in there too or something?

[takebow]

...Might be full of girls, but who knows if you'll be so happy about that the whole time if ya keep that up...

voice; Ahaha tell him Yukari 8|

[failures]

[... Oh, a fiesty one.]

Awww, c'mon! It's not like I said that was a bad thing or anything.
