[ The video clicks onto Cure Princess, who is just griiiiiiiinning at a camera in a way that those who know her would be a little worried about. She...is sitting in her living room but shhh, just ignore that. ]

Right! So for all the new people here, my name is Cure Princess and I've been a superhero here for...gosh, months now? Anyway, I've decided to restart the team we had back home and start it up again here! And sooooo—

[ she reaches down off screen, pulls out a party popper and just yanks it with a loud POP. Crappy tiny streamers fly everywhere, some of them landing in Princess's hair. ]

Happiness Charge Precure is back in business! [ griiiiiiiin ] Of course, we're probably gonna have to change the name cause not everybody on the team is a Cure. [ and also cause IT'S KIND OF STUPID. ] But my point still stands! I'll be accepting any sort of teammate, no matter your age or your powers...I think I'm the only Cure here after all, so it'd be kinda silly if the team was just Pretty Cure. And and and, if you wanna help out but already are a member of a superhero team, that's okay! Back home we had a system were different national Cure teams helped each other out, and I can start up something like that here if you want.

[ Princess pauses, frowning for a little bit, before she continues. ] This is my time forming a team and it's a lot...different from back home, so if you've got any questions just ask me! I'm gonna bother some people about Happiness Charge 2 at the swear-in so if you know somebody who should join the team but they don't check the network, just tell me their names.

[Nakatsu is about 110% certain he's looking at a real life magical girl. Is this the real life]

What's a Cure?

[friendshiprocks]

[ ding ding ding Nakatsu, you recognize your shojo genres ]

It's a title from back home! If you're a Cure, then you're a superpowered warrior of justice who helps fight back against bad guys!

[nakatsu]

[when did his life become a comedy manga]

Do you have a cool transformation?

[who's he kidding of course they'd have a sparkly transformation sequence]

[friendshiprocks]

Uh, yeah. [ said with a grin ] Wanna see one?

[bindsthedead]

Happiness... Charge?

Still, people coordinating, even if they're part of different groups is a good idea.

Video

[friendshiprocks]

Happiness injection, charging with elation! Happiness Charge Precure!

[ STRIKE A POSE ] I dunno the best way to coordinate, though. Blue did it all back home.

Video

[bindsthedead]

Well, there's always these devices. Or ask one of your other teammates to do it.

Do you have any other teammates yet?

Video

[friendshiprocks]

....not really. Wanna be the first?

[pushtheboundaries]

[suddenly, an irrational, all-consuming horr-oh wait it's just this girl nevermind]

This means you're not going to be tackling any thugs alone, right?

video - lmao I just responded to your post as well, ALL THE CR

[friendshiprocks]

[ cue that guilty expression. ]

I think the reason I wasn't so good with those thugs was because I'm used to working with a team. I haven't worked by myself in ages.

...but yeah. When I do handle thugs, I'm gonna be handling them in a team.

yoooOOOOOOOO

[pushtheboundaries]

Good. You seem like the type who works better with a crowd, and I hope this works out for you.

[he doesn't seem patronizing, necessarily? but that is a small smile of the fact that he has seen her alone.

...seriously, he hopes it works.]

[friendshiprocks]

[ it's gonna work, okay???? ]

You miiight be a little too old to be a member of the team, but wanna help out anyway?

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

That sounds awesome! [It's the party popper. The party popper convinced her.]

I wanna join. Can I join? Will we get to fight bad guys? Can I use nunchuks? Can I be a Cure? [Ripley, you don't even know what a Cure is.]

[friendshiprocks]

Yes, yes, yes and maybe? [ SHRUG ] I know how Pretty Cure get their powers back home, I dunno how it would work here.

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

How'd you do it? [In her experience there's usually a cool story behind acquiring superhuman powers.]

[friendshiprocks]

Well, you've gotta have a Love Crystal, first. And then, hold on to that Love Crystal and focus really hard on your desire to be a Cure and help out! If your feelings are strong enough, then it'll work!

[Usagi has been really hesitant to respond to this. She watched the video and had been sitting there, staring down at her desk, like her eyes could bore a holes in the wood. Back home she had to keep her moonlighting a secret. For her sake and everyone she cared about.

But here was different. So many people had super powers, and everyone knew it. There were even other girls, similar to herself. Like Hime. She was openly a magical girl and is having a fine time of it. She's actually helping people. Doing good.

Maybe it was time to get a grip and take a stand. Usagi's been so nervous about going out there and fighting. She's not sure she can do much. The one time she did, there wasn't even actually anyone to help, as it turned out. An odd relief. But enough crap has happened. People have been getting hurt, super-powered or otherwise. The friend's she's made have been out there. It's time she was too!

Not sure exactly why, but the proposition made her feel homesick... But for some reason, being a part of a team felt like the right idea. Maybe with others by her side, she'd feel more confident.

So, with an uncharacteristically serious, though still nervous, look on her face, she responds with a video message.]

I'd like to join your team!

[video]

[friendshiprocks]

Alright! [ FISTPUMP ] I haven't gotten all the details sorted out yet, but I'm gonna send out a mass text for when we'll have the first meeting!

And, if you've got any name suggestions, I'll totally take them.

Re: [video]

[moon_buns]

Okay, I'll be looking forward to it.

[The blue girl's enthusiasm eased Usagi's nerves. Her face brightens some, smiling a little.]

As for name suggestions... um... I'll think on it! Are there any in the works already...?

[piratedust]

(okay, she's seriously trying her hardest not to laugh here because that all just sounds... really, really cheesy.) "Happiness Charge Precure"? And you said Neverland sounded like something out of a fairy tale.

(SO... SHE'S NOT THE NICEST PERSON... yeah. way to make friends)

video;

[friendshiprocks]

[ ZARINA, YOU BUTT. ] It's a good name for a team, okay?

video;

[piratedust]

(SHE'S NOT GOOD AT THE SOCIAL THING, OKAY, SHE HANGS OUT WITH PIRATES.) What's wrong with just "my team"?

[illumenate]

[blinks]

[she's been trying to get up to speed on this world and get used to all the people and the machines and sorting out how she's supposed to feel about this... whole... arrangement. but out of everything, she looks the most bewildered by this.]

I, um. I have a question. It might be silly.

What does this team... do?

video

[friendshiprocks]

That's not a silly question at all! [ said with a smiiiiiile. ] We help out whenever there's trouble, like if someone's causing trouble at a swear-in or if there's a fire or bank robbery. Aside from that, Happiness Charge Precure's also about us just being friends and helping each other out that way!

[illumenate]

Is that allowed? There's watchmen -- I mean, police in this country, won't they get mad if we step in?
