From: Minerva
Date: July 13th

[ The feed clicks on, showing a red and white comet goldfish aimlessly milling about a tiny fishtank. (For those interested, the video likely literally looks something like this, sans soothing muzak.)

There is no footage of the videographer himself; no face shown on the screen save for perhaps fleetingly in the tank's reflection. Tatara's voice is audible, however, his words very easily discerned. He sounds a bit awed, perhaps almost smitten. ]

Aah, would you look at her! She's lovely, isn't she~?

Trouble is, I've had her for a while now, and I can't seem to think of a name for her. Would anyone be kind enough to help me? Just reply here with your ideas, and I'll pick the one that best fits her.

Wow, she looks like a candy cane or christmas wrapping! What if you named her Noelle?

... Also it's nice to meet you too!

She does, doesn’t she? Noelle would suit her! Aah, also...

[ He pans the video feed out, showing his face. There’s a friendly wave offered along with a bright smile. ]

I’m Tatara Totsuka. It’s nice to meet you, too! Kairi, is it?

White and red all over like that, it was the first thing that came to mind!

[She waves back, very glad to have met a cheerful, friendly person.]

Yep, just Kairi I'm afraid. Some people are lucky to know their whole name, I guess. I'm okay with just Kairi though. That must mean you're a shinki like me.

[ His expression turns sheepish, head leaning over enough to change the fall of his wispy, uneven curtain of dishwater-blond bangs. ]

Actually, I'm a god. [ He laughs brightly, and shrugs. ] Or goddess, whichever you prefer.

[ He takes a small sort of mini-bow. ]

Minerva, at your service!

Oh, I see that now! I was distracted by your cute fish.

I'll call you whichever you prefer, actually! God or goddess, or just Minerva.

[Being around Forrest has made her even more acutely aware of this issue than Roxas being Artemis did at the start of her journey as a shinki.]

[ He winks. ] She's very distracting, I understand!

[ Following that is the warmest of smiles, head shaking lightly. ] There's no need to be so formal around me! My friends here just call me 'Totsuka'.

[ Though some now call him by his first name here -- Johan, specifically, does that. And that's equally fine with him. ]

If it's not too odd to you, you can use that name. 'Tatara' is also fine. Whichever you choose!

Well... Tatara is your given name, right? Not your family name. So I'd like to call you that!

[ She smiles back. He seems as openly affable and demonstrative as she is. ]

I only have one name that I can remember, and I don't think it's my family name, so I like calling people the same way if they're okay with it.

[ A small chuckle and a soft nod. ] Tatara it is, then!

It's a pleasure to meet you, Kairi.

So, have you been here long?

Mmm... May 16th! That was the day I remember waking up here. So almost two months now. How about you? I know we haven't spoken before, but sometimes people are quiet...

[Which didn't seem to be his case, but who knows.]

You've got me beat, I'm afraid!

[ He laughs airily. No, he's not quiet at all -- just hasn't had an excuse to be on the network until now; and one can only meet so many new faces at any given event. ]

Were you at the festival, by chance?

[She chuckles a bit.]

Well... which one?

[Not everyone who arrives only learns about what's happened since their arrival, after all. Some go looking deeper.]

[ Tatara's expression turns almost sheepish. He should clarify. ]

Sorry, sorry -- I'm talking about Tanabata. Did you go?

[ She waves her hand. ]

I was teasing a little. I guessed you wouldn't know about the others, but sometimes people talk.

[ She shrugs. ]

But yes, I did get to go to Tanabata.
