first at-bat [video]

[yoghurts]

[ as the video turns on, you're treated to the sight of a confused looking young man. something that must surely be a familiar sight to anyone who's been here for a protracted period of time... though this one seems perhaps a bit more dazed than most. ]

Ah... hello, everyone.

[ despite his confusion, he manages a weak smile. his voice sounds rather calm, all things considered. ]

Let's see... I'm supposed to introduce myself, right? My name is Satoshi Houjou. It's nice to meet you at all.

Um... what else was there? Sorry, this has never happened to me before so I'm not really sure what to say. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Or am I one who's supposed to be asking questions right now? Hm... Can anyone give me some advice? Introductions sure are difficult. I'll do my best to pay you back when I can.

Oh! But we're saving the world, aren't we? Ha... that sounds pretty hard. I've never saved a world before, either. Well, I'll do my best.

Indeed, and that that will bring us together in this world.

W-well, we're protecting ourselves from what the gods have in store for us.

video;

[yoghurts]

But... aren't the gods on our side?

Why would they do something to us?

video;

[brokenpromise]

well... it is questionable. They like to test us.

I'm not sure myself.

video;

[yoghurts]

Tests, huh?

We came all the way here just to take tests?

video;

[brokenpromise]

Indeed. Whether we can hold our ground here or not is what they test us for.

video;

[yoghurts]

Oh! That doesn't sound too bad. I think I'm pretty good at that. I can be pretty stubborn, you know.

video;

[brokenpromise]

Then if that's the case, you should be fine.

video;

[yoghurts]

That's good to hear. I was a little worried there for a bit.

video;

[brokenpromise]

Oh dear, I-I hope I didn't worry you too much. I'm sorry.

video;

[yoghurts]

Ah, no! It's not that bad. I think I feel a little better, actually.

I didn't know what to expect at all from this place when I first got here. Now I... think I do? A little.

video;

[brokenpromise]

Ah, if you say so. I'm glad to hear that.

It was the same for me so I wanted to make sure to enlighten the new people.

video;

[yoghurts]

How long have you been here for anyway?

It sounds like some people have been here a really long time.

video;

[brokenpromise]

Well, I've been here for um... I think nine months now... or so...

Yeah and they I'm guessing want to spread some wisdom onto others as well.

video;

[yoghurts]

Well, you're doing a good job!

Hopefully I'll learn all this stuff quickly too.

video;

[brokenpromise]

T-Thank you for saying that.

I'm sure you will!

video;

[yoghurts]

You probably hear this a lot, but you're really kind.

video;

[brokenpromise]

E-eh? Well, thank you again for that wonderful compliment. I'm glad to help others.

video;

[yoghurts]

Is that why you're dressed like that?

video;

[brokenpromise]

Ah well, this is my uniform from back in my home world. I'm the second ranked servant of the Ushiromiya family.

video;

[yoghurts]

A servant, huh? So that means you're a maid? Waaah... a real one. 

...wait, Ushiromiya family? Does that mean you know Ushiromiya-sama? I mean... um... Ange?

video;

[brokenpromise]

Yes, that I am. A-am I really the first one you've seen? Wow.

Correct, I do know Ange-sama. Back in my home world she is a young little girl, but over here she's grown up.

video;

[yoghurts]

They don't really have maids where I come from. It's just a small village. Even the head family doesn't have servants like that.

Oh, but I have seen a maid cafe! I guess that's sort of the same, but not really...

[ blink. ] What do you mean by that? Did she grow up while she was here...?

video;

[brokenpromise]

Ah, wow that's really interesting. Though then again I've only really come close to the family, so I wouldn't know others...

I've worked in one here before, it was really fun.

W-well, apparently she came from another time in my home world.

video;

[yoghurts]

Oh... right! That's the "tsundere cafe," right? [ he's heard about that... already... ] Or maybe I'm misunderstanding again. But you really don't see maids that often. At least, I don't think you do. So that makes you pretty special!

[ or unique, perhaps. ]

A... different time? Can that happen? Um... it was 1985 before I got here. What about you?

video;

[brokenpromise]

It was called the Poketopia, it's alright. Well, you have a point there, I haven't that much maids here besides the the ones that guide us here.

I think it can, since it is the gods we're talking about. It was 1986 for me, wow one year difference.
