[fourteenth fragrance] backdated video; August 9th

[bauhinia]

[ Hong Kong has his comm set up for a completely intentional, confessional style video. He's not wandering around or flicking things into buckets of water or filming himself blowing something up. Well, he ought to do that eventually, but not today. ]

So, hey. I didn't realize it yesterday because of all the celebrating and stuff, but it looks like it's been a year since I got here. Doesn't really feel like it. I mean, I seriously never thought I was gonna be here for that long.

Even though it's not that long, I guess. Anyway, I'm just posting this because I kinda wanted to say thanks to everyone. I know this place is like, super ridiculous sometimes, but there's a lotta people who work hard to make it better for us.

So, thanks.

And don't laugh, okay? I'm being serious here.

[ With that, he looks aside, seeming kind of embarrassed. He then ends the feed. ]

I dunno. That would be super weird, right?

[ :'| No one laugh at his sappy feelings. ]

[reobserves]

It would be, I think.. I mean, something like that is just normal to say, right? [ this is why you get laughed at too, yukiteru. ]

[bauhinia]

[ It's okay, Hong Kong thinks he's cool! ]

Maybe. Is it?

[reobserves]

[ hong kong is his only fan.. ]

Of course it is! I'm pretty grateful to all the people who helped me out and talked to me here too..

[bauhinia]

Right? People here are good about that kinda thing.

[ Hong Kong is not a bad guy to have as your fan! ]

[reobserves]

Yeah, they're all really nice! I wouldn't have known what to do if people hadn't helped me out this much.

[bauhinia]

It's kinda overwhelming otherwise, right? [ Even though it doesn't seem like anything overwhelms him. ]

[reobserves]

This situation.. it's really strange, and.. it's dangerous too, right? So without allies, it wouldn't just be lonely, but it'd be more dangerous too.

[bauhinia]

Sure, yeah. It's good to have people, y'know, allies, that you can count on.
