.o2. [Video - Ultra Backdated to end of Feb]

[lovesclearlakes]

[ Video turns on to show a blue-haired girl, who apparently is having difficulty with her webcam as she is fussing with it live. ]

Um... I-Is this on? Ah...

[ It takes her a moment, but she finally takes notice of the red light emitted from her webcam and quickly sits back. A light dust of pink settles on her cheeks from embarrassment, shyness, and discomfort from being filmed. She straightens her posture and timidly looks into the camera. If you look closely enough, you'll realize she's in the computer lab. ]



H-Hello... My name is Chiyo, a new student here. I'm... I'm deeply sorry for being so late with introducing myself. I, ah, I'm not very good with computers, so... please forgive me for being so slow. 

[ She pauses, and it is clear that she feels worried about something. ]

I come from Kanto, and am a water-type Pokemon known as a Vaporeon. My p-purpose for coming to Smash is to learn and to... b-better myself as an individual. 

[ Whether or not it was obvious, her face is reddening from her rising anxiety and stress. She vaguely even wonders if anyone will watch this video, or if they're even watching it now. The thought doesn't make her feel better in the slightest, and so she hastens the end of her introduction. ]

I-I hope we can be good friends! Thank you for watching!

[Oh! A reply! How exciting. Chiyo was starting to see the appeal to using computers. Communicating seemed much easier this way, considering that she wouldn't actually have to face someone. Though, the keyboard would take quite some time to master. The letters were just all over the place.... Why weren't they in order?]

I'm doing well. Thank you for asking. [She tried to keep her replies short in fear of taking too long to respond.] May I ask who you are?

[rivalthunderbolts]

[WHAT DO WHAT DO... OKAY JUST PLAY IT COOL...]

Oh, the name's Jolt.

[HOPE SHE DOESN'T FREAK OUT.]

(eh heh. sorry for assuming this was all text messaging if it wasn't intended to be.) XD

[lovestoswim]

[...Jolt?]

What a very unique name you have, Jolt. It's nice to meet you.

[Okay, so she couldn't put two and two together, but eventually, she might.]

[GOOD START SO FAR...]

Thanks! Nice to meet you too!

[Well, officially now.]

[lovestheoceans]

[Chiyo smiled. Things seemed to be going well! But, uh... what to ask now?]

I'm a senior high school student here at Smash Academy. Are you a student here as well?

[Asking questions and waiting for answers was both fun and nerve-racking. Chiyo could easily get addicted to texting.]

[rivalthunderbolts]

[Eventually he'd get up the nerve to explain himself. Eventually.]

Yep. Been here about a year now.

[lovestoswim]

That's nice! Do you like it here?

[rivalthunderbolts]

Yeah! It's a fun place with fun people!

[lovestheoceans]

[As much fun as Chiyo was having at the moment, she was now running towards a dead end for things to say. She thought about asking another question, but then felt that she might soon come off as someone pestering him for information. And she didn't want to bother him that way.

So she sat, racking her brain for something more to say. Um...]

I. Do you know. I like it here, too, especially the lake, greenhouse, and library. I think Smash is a lovely place.

[For the record, she's hardly computer literate and thinks typing is permanent, so she doesn't understand the meaning of the "Backspace" button. Chiyo could only hope he wouldn't find her jumbled sentence weird.

(She was originally going to ask "Do you know Pokemon?" but changed her mind since it was another question.]

[rivalthunderbolts]

Well, maybe I'll see you around!

[lovestoswim]

Okay! I hope we can meet one day soon!
