Second Princess (Video)

[whitequeens]

[The video turns on to reveal Euphemia, now in a significantly more practical outfit than her huge poofy dress, in some kind of... garage? It's concrete and dimly lit by cool fluorescent bulbs, making her pink hair take on a very odd tone.] Oh, hello everyone! I hope you're doing well.

I'm actually speaking to you all today because I could use a little, ah... assistance? When I first came here, I was told that in addition to my healing powers, I had an item from my home world as well. And that item was-- this: [She takes the camera, turning it to reveal... a humanoid robot, roughly 14-15 feet tall] The experimental Knightmare Frame, 'Lancelot.' It was being developed by my brother's research facility, and the pilot was a... very, very dear friend of mine.

But I don't know much about using it, myself. Is there anyone here who considers themselves experienced in this kind of thing?

It feels a little wasteful just to leave Lancelot gathering dust in a garage like this.

[Fortunately (or unfortunately, perhaps), Asami has never heard the word "knight" before, so she's unable to make out where Euphie had been going with that particular word. Still, she assumes it's something related to that expression she's making. Oh, she's definitely able to make it.]

Then ... would you mind me telling you a bit about how this is set up? Not all of it is good. [That level of masochism is something that Asami isn't unfamiliar with. Korra shows it a bit, too, on occasion.

More so in her recent future than the one who has just arrived. In fact, it's part of why Asami is so sad when sees Korra's lost exuberance.]

Oh, yes! Er, it'll just be one minute... [The normal wire winch that a Knightmare might have isn't there, so Euphie takes a few moments to climb up; she's not much for physical activity, clearly.

When she gets in, she leans into the cockpit block.] Well, you put the key in there, and then hit this and that, and it should turn on. [A beat.] Do you intend to move it?
