✿ Chapter 009. [Video/Audio/Action from the Library] (Day 115)
[ Lookie Asgard, a new feed clicks on your network. What appears on your screens will be the fixed image of a pair of hands joined together and placed on a desk, a notebook between them plus a pen, books all scattered around with a specific cover visible among them. Maybe some of you can figure out that it's being recorded from the Great Library in Odin.
One of the hands, the right one, has the sleeve pulled down to hide most of it, though a bit of darker skin can be spotted. Geez girl, show your face already...! From the way her hands are rubbing together, it's clear she's ever so nervous about using the video feature. Isn't this an improvement, though?
... Actually, Hanako thought it would have looked more professional this way. ]
Good afternoon...
First of all, I would like to thank everyone for participating to our Arbor Day. I never imagined that we could have this much presence throughout the holiday. It was all hard work well served; the city looks even better than before, and some color has been restored as consequence. [ Despite the nervousness, her tone sounds a little... chipper than before. It wasn't only for the event, factors like Lilly's arrival and the determination to make the next project work has boosted her morale quite a bit. ] It has served its purpose, it was successful, and I'm very glad for this fact.
However... [ And now she turns a little dim. ] This is not enough. In order to prove a point towards these gods that have no hint of respect for our free will and how much we have done for them, we need to do more. [ She emphasizes the word a little aggressively. It is totally on purpose.
...
Screw this. By the time she resumes her speech, Hanako has tilted the camera up to show her face, a clear frowny expression on- with the characteristic peek-a-boo bangs that seem to perfectly hide her right side. ]
I would like to direct you all to Conan-kun's last post, which illustrates the next project we're going to set. This time, we want something even bigger than Arbor Day. We want you all to get involved and help out, by either taking part in the festival or aiding us through your abilities. So if you can cook, sing, play instruments, design decorations or organize shows of your own- please contact us.
[ The feed suddenly switches to text. ]
For those of you who didn't take notice of the post, you can find it here.
[ Back to video. Now she's trying to relax her expression, though it's a hard task. ]
That being said, I've been given the charge of organizing the food stalls for the festival. I'm looking for professionals in the area of cooking, but also people who have experience and are confident in their skills are very welcome. I'm also looking for particular ingredients, so if those of you owning a restaurant or a cafeteria are willing to help me gather them, I would be plenty grateful.
Any and every kind of support is important to us. We can do even better than Arbor Day, if we unite and work hard together. This is our chance. If we don't change our situation in here, nobody will.
Thank you for your time.
[ Hanako gives the camera a bow, before she reaches out and- instead of cutting the feed off, it switches to audio. There is something more she needs to say, but this time to a stricter range of people. ]
Now, I would like to address all the people who have read and enjoyed the series of books I had recommended a while ago. By which, I mean Nightlight... [ Hanako's tone turns relaxed, with all that important stuff out of the way. ] I was thinking that we could gather in one place and discuss the story and characters. If there is a decent amount of us, we could even form a club entirely dedicated to it.
[ A pause. ] ... Let's say it might be founded if at least five people other than me are willing to join. Would you be up with the idea? I know some of you showed interest in the books, so I wondered if something like this is doable. In case of agreement, we can choose a place to organize our club activities... I thought of the library, but you can suggest somewhere else. I am up for any ideas. Also, I will decide on the date later and contact your inboxes accordingly.
Again, thank you for listening. I will expect your feedback.
[ Private to Hisao and Lilly ]
Are you both willing to help me with the festival? I... also think we should do something together. Just the three of us.
[ Private to Conan. ]
... Was my speech good enough?
