[Eyyyy, so. Here's a face some of you may already recognize. Souji puts on his best crowd-pleasing smile as he turns the camera on himself, clearly comfortable with this method of public address. Observant types might guess he's probably had some practice with it, and they'd be right.]

Hello. I've already met some of you, but for those I haven't, my name is Souji Seta. It's very nice to speak with you all.

[He turns the camera around to show one of the uninhabited buildings in the city, possibly one that you've noticed before, and continues speaking:]

I noticed this empty building looks like it might have been a restaurant at some point in the past. I don't really know anything about building renovation, so I'd like to ask if there's anyone here who does know who would be willing to help me restore it.

[The view shifts again, back to Souji.]

Before I was brought here, I was on a ship, and I used to cook for the crew. I'd like to continue doing so, if you'll allow me. I think having someplace like this would be especially helpful for new arrivals while they're adjusting to life here, but I'd be happy to cook for everyone.

[A quiet yip yip can be heard from offscreen, drawing Souji's attention to something at his feet (it's a fox, shhh). He smiles and nods.]

Yes, even you.

[this seems like a good idea.]

Renovation wasn't exactly my line of work when I was home, but I'd be happy to help out where I can anyway. [Hey, she can lift stuff, knock stuff down, put things up, etc.]

[Did someone say something that might sound vaguely like Free Food? No? Sort of? Well, either way, Corbin is more than interested.]

[The redhead grins at Souji]

[Bit more of a smile]

Pleased to make your acquaintance, Souji Seta. I am Oscar. I wish you all the best in your efforts to restore the restaurant.

A ship, you say? Did you play any part in its operation?

[ The man on the other side of the screen seems to be mostly hidden in shadow, all apart from the odd spike of white hair handing down over his face and blazing claret eyes. ]

What's the catch?

[Someone's figuring out the video, sort of, though she hasn't quite gotten the framing idea just yet, so you kind of get the top of Rukia's head. But it's definitely her.]

That's such a nice idea! I'll definitely help out, if you can use an extra pair of hands. For building or cooking, I suppose. I don't know much about building renovation though, sorry...
