001; come be the first in line to shake the hand of mine.
Who: Souji Seta and ... you???
Broadcast: Network; open.
Action: Marsiva; all over.
When: backdated to Saturday morning, before the Shuffle.
[It's a little unnerving, this idea of being on television - a little too reminiscent of the Midnight Channel. Souji himself never appeared on it, but he saw a lot of his friends in those staticky broadcasts over the past year, back in Inaba, their flaws put on display for all to see. It's uncomfortable, but - there really isn't anything to be done about it, so Souji doesn't.
He spends his first three days quietly aboard the Marsiva, mostly keeping to himself. Time seems a little too linear and solid for this to be Liminal Space, and when he wakes on the fourth day and nothing has changed, he concludes this must be the next Jaunt after all. He's not seen or heard from any of the Travelers he knows, though, and the psychic network seems to be out of reach, too. It's somewhat unsettling - but, he supposes, things could be worse.
Things can always be worse.
Later that morning, he finally turns his device camera on himself to make a proper introduction. The face may be recognizable to some, with one notable exception - a thin scar slashed across his left cheek. He speaks quietly but confidently, with all the poise of a perpetual transfer student. The smile he shows is practiced and polite.]
Hello. I'm sorry I didn't introduced myself sooner - my name is Souji Seta, and I'm new here.
[Words he has spoken so many times he's lost count.]
I look forward to working with everyone. If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know.
[He nods once, then ends the transmission.]

I'll be happy to help.
[And it's halfway true - he does like to help, some of the time. And he does enjoy cooking, and there is a certain satisfaction in being able to cook for other people, something they'll enjoy. But part of what he says is automatic response, because it's what's expected.
Souji thinks, for a moment, about a conversation that feels like happened forever ago, about what it means to be selfish. How do you learn to be selfish? he'd asked; Learning to be selfish just means convincing yourself that you deserve it was the answer he received.
Souji still isn't sure what he believes he deserves.]

[ Don't mind her. She's just being nosy. ]

Mostly I've just been a high school student, but I also like to read on my own. Sometimes I go fishing ... or build model robots. But mostly, it's studying.
video;
[ Are those different than real robots? She squints. ]
You're probably going to get bored very quickly here, then. There's not exactly a school or anything.

[He forces a thin smile and hopes it comes across as reassuring.]
I'm pretty good at keeping myself busy.

But she barely knows him, so she won't say anything about it ]
Hmm. Well, as long as you're not worried about it, I guess.
video;
Do you have any suggestions? I don't mind learning new things.
video;
Eh?
Ah ... I don't think any of the stuff I like to do would really be of interest to a boy.

Well, I like shopping, and reading magazines, and stuff ...
Oh, and I practice ikebana.
