[you can hear the ambient noise of a restaurant in the background.]

Well! Now that I've figured out how this device works, I should probably introduce myself. My name is Hans, Prince of the Southern Isles and fellow imPort. I've met some of you at the party-oh, let me just swap this to the video for a moment.

[And then, he fiddles for a moment and manages to turn the video on: Hans is sitting in what looks like a restaurant-decidedly not the Hard Rock Cafe (though the eagle-eyed viewer can catch the edges of the Hard Rock Cafe logo on his black work polo. He's broadcasting this from his lunch break.]

Is it working? It should be working. [He shrugs, waves at the camera, then clicks it back off, swapping to audio.]

Anyway, it's become more and more obvious to me that I know next to nothing about this land. So, I'd appreciate any knowledge about customs and traditions of America. I already know about your president, thanks to Nelson, but what about your courts, your military strength, what it takes to get married, things like that?

[why yes he deliberately picked that last topic, sorry not sorry Anna.]

Any information would be appreciated!

[iampretty]

Apparently, we just need to go to city hall and get a marriage license!

[because she had to be talking about marriage.]

[cardea]

So there's nothing in our way! I mean- I just have to get Elsa to understand. Then there's nothing.

[iampretty]

I'm sure you can get Elsa to understand. She's your sister-that's what sisters do.

[cardea]

Elsa just needs a little time to... adjust. Then we'll ask her again. I know she'll understand this time, now that things aren't so nuts.

[iampretty]

I hope you're right. Because...well, I know it's not ideal, but why not be as happy as possible the as long as we're here?

[cardea]

I know I am. She'll understand and the three of us can live together, and maybe Kristoff, too, and there's room for one more after that, isn't there? And-

Yes. We'll be happy.

[iampretty]

[this little fantasy is getting more people than Hans had planned for-he did not want to plan for killing Kristoff if need be.]

There's always room for one more-we'd just have to ask Kristoff how he feels about it.

[cardea]

[She gives a small scoffing laugh at that, but is still grinning. Kristoff and Elsa could compete for the Who Disliked People more award, really.]

If it's up to him, we'll have to wait for Sven.

[iampretty]

Wait, who's Sven?

[Dammit Anna, stop making friends.]

[cardea]

The reindeer.

[Look at this hopeful smile!!

And at least she hasn't mentioned the living snowman yet, okay?]

He helped find Elsa, too.

[iampretty]

I don't think any of these houses are big enough for a reindeer, [said with a little chuckle.]

[cardea]

We'll work it out if he shows up.

[Why worry about it now?]

But we can't leave any of our people alone, Hans. We're all we have.

[iampretty]

Exactly. And we've got to stick together, don't we?

[cardea]

Yes.

[She'd known he'd understand.]

But are you making new friends?

[iampretty]

I am! I've made some great friends among my housemates!

[and then there's Chilton.]

What about you? How are you holding up?

[cardea]

It's amazing here. I had no idea there were so man different kinds of people. And the food-

We need to get back, but it's been incredible to see a whole different world. I never even dreamed we'd be doing something like this- and, you know, I've had some crazy dreams.

[iampretty]

It really is incredible. [but yeah, getting back, Hans was not entirely sure just how that would happen. thankfully, he wasn't going to burst Anna's bubble just yet.]

You know what? There are still so many places here that I don't know anything about. Why don't we go explore them together?

[cardea]

[Hans you are the best fiancee with all the best ideas.]

Yes! I've barely ridden in their cars at all, and they're supposed to be able to take you anywhere.

[iampretty]

Then it's settled! We're going on a car ride!

[icelated]

[HEY YEAH ABOUT THAT HAPPINESS.......]

You can't get married here, Anna.

[cardea]

You still haven't heard the whole story, Elsa.

[icelated]

You can't get married here, Anna. This is a different world, different marriage customs. You've still only just met him...

[cardea]

So? How does that- all marriage is for the same reason, no matter where. Love!

[icelated]

You barely know him, Anna!

[cardea]

That doesn't- you don't know him at all. We're all here anyway, Elsa. Just give us a chance.
