001: Hello, new world

[walkontwolegs]

[ The video starts on the face of a young girl, likely around twelve, with big green eyes and sunny blonde hair. It moves away from her face, and is put on what is likely a kitchen table if the background is to be any clue. She gives a bit of a weak smile. ]

Um. Hello! My name is Lillie.

[ She gives a short little bow. ]

I... I came from another world? Um! Not, my home world. [ She places her hands up as if in protest for a moment. ] A different world. It wasn't this one, or mine. But a lot of bad things were happening. Someone I talked to said others had been there too, and... [ her hands come to rest in front of her, being wrung just a little bit ] I was wondering if maybe there were people who met me there? And people from my own world?

There weren't pokemon in that world, or this one. My world has a lot of pokemon. [ Her expression lightens a little. ] I was told by one of the people who helped me get to my new house that there are other people here from worlds with pokemon. I would love to meet you all, if that's okay. I think that it would be a lot easier to adapt if I have advice from others who come from the same place.

[ She then smiles quite brightly and gives another little bow. ]

Thank you all.

[ A moment later she's moving back towards the camera and she shuts it off. ]

[ Greetings, imPorts. Like everyone else who was transported to that other place, Wanda looks Really Done after THAT shitshow. ]

Just so we're clear? If anyone says 'wow haha we deserve a nice and chill spa weekend swear-in for all the shit we put up with', after the last several weeks here? So help me god, I will come to you and hex your mouth shut.

[ Someway, somehow. ]

Don't even tempt fate. [ A beat, then: ] Ha.

[ She's definitely said things like that before regarding imPorts needing a break, but N E V E R A G A I N. Not after being in a hellworld mere days after a supposedly relaxing swear in. Nope, nope, and extra nope. ]

PSA, over.

This world has been connected.

[The voice on the network is deep and calm, betraying no particular surprise or confusion, despite obviously being that of a newcomer.]

Pitiful. Those who have washed up on these shores claim to have power.

[He scoffs.]

A pale imitation. True power doesn't lie in 'nanites', or the abilities you call super. It lies in every heart—in the darkness that is the heart's true essence. It grows endlessly. It consumes everything.

You'll see soon enough.

[He wasn’t quite sure if he should post or not. He didn’t exactly have anything to say and he wasn’t one to make posts if he had nothing worthwhile to contribute. However, it seemed to be the normal thing to introduce yourself. And it was not unusual for forums and other social media to have an introduction when a new member of the community joins. But how should he do it? He was in a bit of a strange situation.]

Hello! o(〃＾▽＾〃)o
I have just joined this network today. My interests are xianxia, wuxia, and xuanhuan. I especially like to read novels, but well done dramas are also good! (￣▽￣)ノ

[Wait, no no, this felt stupid. This wasn’t the right kind of introduction. He wasn’t at home browsing forums and review sites. This wasn’t joining the discussion of a new web novel! He really should think of the image he is trying to foster here. Backspace and start ov- NO NO NO! HE HIT SEND! FUCK!

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKFUCKFUCK!!! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Delete! How does he delete it? OK, it’s fine. Just… pretend he didn’t do that. Start from scratch! If he ignores it no one will know, right?]

[Shen QingQiu held up a fan to his chest, striking the most aloof, cool, calm, and super amazing immortal scholar image he could manage. First impressions were everything and if he had to make an impression he would go with the immortal master one! Pretend he didn’t make that other post, no one needs to know his shame!]

I am Shen QingQiu, wielder of the Xiu Ya Sword, Lord of Qing Jing Peak and second master of Cang Qiong Mountain Sect.

[He closed his fan in a theatrical way and raised it up to his lips, making sure to move just right to get his hair to flutter as if he were in a movie. Aesthetics were all important for these sorts of things and his actions had to match his lofty title! He was trying to be impressive after all.]

It would seem that this master has found themselves in a rather strange situation. Would anyone be able to share their own stories of this place? And perhaps stories of where they come? It would do well to understand those who are also not of this place.

[Yes! Nailed it! He was feeling quite proud of himself. (｡◝‿◜｡)

Wait… was he just stuck with this username now? Crap. (ﾟДﾟ||) ]
