[ The communicator is set up on Breeze's bedside table, pointed at the bed, which is empty. But only for a second, as she comes flying in from off-camera and crash lands on the mattress with a thump, holding two fingers up in a peace sign. ]

Two things. Both related. [ She moves closer to the camera, grinning. ]

We're totally famous here, right? That means I need to start spreading my brand around. And this is why tomorrow, I, the Breeze, will be making my first [ spoiler: and last ] appearance at public school! [ Said with all the grandeur you'd expect from someone announcing their run for president. ] I'm gonna be rocking some really cool accessories that I'll also be selling at the Fanport thing! It's gonna be great.

Number two—I really need to get back into training. At home it was easy, since I had to patrol and fight basically all the time. But here there's a lot of downtime and I don't want to get rusty. So I was thinking, does anyone want to start up a group? We can get together and practice fighting, using weapons, all that stuff. Let me know if you want in.

Okay. Breeze out. [ Okay but… how are those two things related? Hope you weren't expecting to find that out, because she's reaching out to shut off the feed. Whoops. ]

It might be that De Chima is too far for something regular, but I'd be glad to take you up on sparring sometime.

[fayzedandconfused]

For real? Okay, cool.

[protects_the_small]

There's a park I like to stop by every afternoon, if you want to meet there.

[fayzedandconfused]

Sure. I only have a knife right now. That's cool, right?

[Ugh, Teenage Fight Club is not something he feels altogether comfortable with. But he knows it's useless to tell imPort kids not to fight.]

Maybe you oughta have a healer around? In case there's an accident.

[fayzedandconfused]

You think so?

[hostage]

At least on speed dial.

[If they don't want to feel chaperoned.]

[fayzedandconfused]

Yeah, I guess...

[ She doesn't sound too thrilled about the idea. ]

We had a healer at home, but you had to find her if you really needed her.

[Can you see her disappointment in you, Breeze.]

You're really gonna go to school?

video;

[fayzedandconfused]

[ No, frand, don't be disappointed! ]

I mean, yeah, but I need to expand my brand, you know? It's not for... learning, or whatever.

[glitterateur]

[Oh, well. If it's for her brand.]

Ohh, right, right! ...I think they might still try to make you learn something though? Or maybe they'll give up 'cause the year's almost over.

[fayzedandconfused]

Exactly. What's the point if school's ending in like a month? I'm just gonna show up, greet my fans, show them some cool Breeze stuff they can buy. It'll be great.

[helladoomed]

School, huh?

Good for you, kid.

[She's so amused by the rest of it.]

video;

[fayzedandconfused]

I gotta let my fans see me.

video;

[helladoomed]

So this is all a clever trick to sell merch?

video;

[fayzedandconfused]

Trust me, there's no way I'd ever go back to school if it weren't for the greater good.

[ The greater good in this case being her popularity. ]

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Okay okay okay, first I gotta say, you have like the coolest name ever! Of all time. Maybe even cooler than mine or my siblings.

And B, booooooo schoool. That sounds like the opposite of fun.

[fayzedandconfused]

[ She puffs up with pride at the compliment. ]

Thanks. I came up with it myself. And I know, school's the worst, but it'll be worth it.

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Is it though, is it really!? I can think of a lotta better ways to get people to know your name.

[Okay, not really. But she knows there's gotta be ways that don't involve school. Bluh.]

[ That crash landing intro aside.. ]

You actually want to be famous in a place like this? There mostly seem to be a lot of weirdos.

video;

[fayzedandconfused]

Yeah, so what?

[valuemeal]

So what? [ There's almost a hint of surprise in his voice, like he didn't expect that answer. ]

Well-- it means just that! Who would want a fanclub of only weird people?

[magnitudes]

I am so concerned.

( No, really. She is very concerned. )

video.

[fayzedandconfused]

Wait, what? Why?

[ Why would you ever be concerned, Sarissa?? ]

video.

[magnitudes]

Well, okay. First of all, your first appearance at school? As in, ever?

( THAT is concerning. And, also: ) Why you wanna fight?
