[Despite the cutesy username, this video opens on a man visibly somewhere in his mid-twenties, muscular arms crossed over his knees and a cheerful smile revealing canines about as sharp as you'll find outside of the monsters here.]
Hey, so, I'm one of the newcomers that showed up at the start of the month - nice to meet you all. [He waves one red-nailed hand before resting it over his left, slightly concealing the black ring on it.] I was asking the lady who explains what's going on to everyone whether she knew anything about what people being here means for where we came from, and she told me she'd heard some stories about Mirrorbound who saw stuff going on in their worlds through their mirrors. So if that's happened to any of you guys, could you let me know a little more about it? At this point I'm kinda crossing my fingers people aren't freaking out about me being gone back home. Or hey, if you showed up at an awkward time and want to commiserate about it, I'm here for you.
[The "freaking out" is honestly an understatement, considering the depths his partner has dropped to after losing people in the past. But to offset the more serious question, he reaches a hand offscreen and holds up...well, it's the right shape and size to be a soccer ball, even if it hasn't quite reached the modern style of them yet.]
And for anyone old or new - I'm looking for some people to play soccer with. If you don't know it, it's a sport where you split into teams and try to kick a ball into goal defended by the other team. Obviously it's more fun with more people, but if anyone wants to learn to play or just get a bit of a workout, we can go one-on-one.
[A brief pause after that, and then:] I think that's it for now, so let me know, okay?
[He's still not quite enough out of public image mode to openly ask for someone to practice fistfighting against. Maybe another time.]

Have you heard from anyone that has seen something in their mirrors yet?
no subject
[Let him live, he's still working on getting his brain around the kinds of concepts he has to deal with actually being a thing here.] It sounds like we might not actually be absent from home, one way or another.
no subject
Really? That's such a relief!
no subject
[It's enough to put his heart at ease for the moment, because he was extremely worried for a hot minute there.] I bet your important business will still be waiting when you get back home.
no subject
Mmm, there's a good chance of that!
[ But he weirdly doesn't sound certain. He's not the only one where he's from with influence over time, however, and he's not sure how unique that may or may not make his situation. ]
no subject
Hey, if there's anything else you've still got to worry about, you're welcome to come talk to me. In a situation this weird, we've all got to have each other's backs, right?
[Also Momo is just that kind of person in the first place, but still.]
no subject
Thanks, Momo. I appreciate it, but to be honest some of the things I'm worried about I don't know if anyone will be able to fully answer.
[ He's not really trying to sound as cagey as he's coming across. ]
no subject
[He gives a lazy, casual sort of two-fingered saluting motion. Sticking his nose into other people's business to help out is something of a hobby of his, especially since it helps him avoid talking about his own business.]
no subject
Actually, maybe you could... Do you know anyone in particular who saw things happening in their mirror?
no subject
[Though at least mentioning someone else knows might put Sougo in a position where he could go ask them about it himself.]
no subject
[ His brow furrows as ponders this though. ]
They might not have a lot of reason to believe that from a stranger though.
no subject
Yeah, that's kinda the problem. It's the kind of thing people might be cagey about, and vetting people in advance is hard if you want to keep it private from the start.
[If you meet someone to see if they're the type to pry, they're already in a position to pry.]
no subject
Maybe I'll find someone that won't mind if I ask around a little.
no subject
[He might just end up asking Caster for more specifics, but he doesn't know how much use that might be.]
no subject
no subject
[It's probably a bonus that Momo's as observant as he is, too, since he hasn't necessarily had to ask about certain local things.]

Good luck!
