[The video opens with a shot of an outdoor canopy as Mayuko speaks to… someone. “Right, so when I go back, I won’t end up on a roof somewhere? … In front of the hotel. All right, thank you-- no, it’s been fine so far, just… that issue. Mmm-hmm…okay, I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks again.”]

[The view changes as she picks up the phone. She’s sitting outside of a café, although once she sees the phone still active, she adjusts her seat and the shot’s angle away from a view of the interior. She looks a far cry from the salt-soaked mess hauled up from the seafloor upon arrival: tidy outfit, hair pulled back with a thin ribbon, light amount of makeup.]

Sorry about that-- seems that when, mmm, taking a trip out to Sunset Falls, you could arrive at the top of a building? Would have been good to know that ahead of time. Ah well, at least there was a ladder down….

[Mayuko is not sure how widespread the teleportation technology is, but she can be circumspect when needed. She flicks her ponytail over her shoulder; while she had not intended to send a message out, she might as well introduce herself.]

In any case! My name is Mayuko. Another new arrival-- that’s a monthly refrain, right? Every month, some more people drift in. I wish I could say that’s a new concept for me, but… let’s just say this isn’t my first time away from home.

Today, Jun and I… [Mayuko takes a moment to flip the view to a puppy, front paws planted on the table, snout first in a pup-cup stabilized by Mayuko’s free hand] are out here in Sunset Falls. After stepping outside this morning and seeing some of the Central buildings starting to look like wax candles, I thought it would be a good day to visit another of the cities the representatives mentioned.

[That, and the vague feeling of something being wrong in Central. An itch between the shoulder-blades she couldn’t scratch. She hoped it was just a case of nerves, after being deposited in another world, and that a change of scenery would help ease her mind.

She shakes her head, and offers a smile.]

And a free round-trip is a free round-trip! So long as you’re inside before sundown, you’ll be fine, they said.

[Mayuko looks up and flips the camera to catch a shot of a cloud of nearly transparent butterflies and flower petals floating along the street. In a tone equal parts calm and amused, she notes:]

There’s still plenty of daylight left. While I see what there is to see out here, what have you all found in this world so far? Each city has its quirks, I hear. Or maybe you’ve been somewhere strange yourself. I’d love to hear about it.

Your kind regards.

I've always been more of a city person and Central reminds me of home. It's got that grittiness the others don't have

In a way, you can appreciate the honesty of it

Yeah, that too. There are only so many resources you can spend on that

[Truthfully, Jason's fairly aware of that but hasn't been able to investigate further]

You'd think with all the superheroes around, there would be a stop to that by now

Still, someone should do something about it
