[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!

Are all the other guys awesome at art?
[He's clearly missing the point.]

Wait, what?
[and she's totally not following. WHAT...]

Got proof?
[and Chie will, of course, follow this line of conversation.]

[The last bit is trailed off as Larry gazes around his new room. Sure enough, he manages to find what he's looking for.]
Okay! So I'm gonna just go off of your picture on the screen if that's cool.

[and she stands totally still, beaming for the camera!!]

[Larry works quickly, since it's not like this is going to be a huge commission or anything. He does get super into it though, occasionally looking up from his sketch, then going back to making quick strokes with his pen.
When he's done, he flips the pad around to show Chie. It's a bit messy and there isn't much shading, but the anatomy looks correct at least. It's not too shabby!]
Aaand done! Whatcha think?
video
[kind of helps that she doesn't really have a taste for fine arts so this all works out very well.]

Glad you like it! If I ever run into you, I'll give it to you.
What's your name, anyway?
video
[yeah, he's more or less been redeemed in her book.]
Oh, and, uh—I'm Chie! Chie Satonaka. Sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier!
video
Nice to meetcha, Chie! And don't worry about it. I do that all the time.
