[ Click! The video begins with a characteristically calm and pleased Macau, casually sipping a small porcelain cup of tea. ]

Good evening. I would be a highly unobservant individual if I failed to notice the recent events taking place around Fortuna. Indeed, some people very close to me have found themselves in the bodies of others, as have many of the rest of you.

I would just like to remind everyone not to waste such a rare opportunity. Try to really embrace seeing the world through new eyes for a little while to gain a new perspective and appreciation for your own lives. [ And with that overly optimistic message, the feed cuts out. ]

I can't see when it's dark. now. Cirno--or, Cirno in my shape, has to lead me around places.

[notsogay]

A-Ah...

( she blushes very deeply and looks away. )

N-Not really. A pleasure to meet you Macau-san.

[itsfondue]

Others would agree. [Well, at least some!]

I'm Steve Rogers. And you are, sir?

[eastmontecarlo]

Stay and have some tea with me first.

[eastmontecarlo]

You shouldn't refuse an honest statement so quickly. You should appreciate the beauty of your own self.

[notsogay]

( shut up. she ignores that. )

U-Um so is that your body?

[eastmontecarlo]

A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Rogers. [ neighborhood ]

Macau is the simplest name that I go by.

[eastmontecarlo]

Have you been able to contact this person?

[action]

[eastmontecarlo]

You certainly did.

Re: action;

[sparklers]

Er...

Alright.

((Tea? What is this strange thing? Is it dangerous?

Anyway, casually approaching. He probably looks... a little more alert than Hong Kong normally would.))

[ Looking aside. ]

It's kinda weird.

[eastmontecarlo]

[ RUDE ]

It is. I haven't had the great fortune to experience someone else's life.

[notsogay]

You wouldn't like it if you got stuck in a weird body.

[ Tea is amazing. You will take to it instantly. Macau gestures to the other side of the table, clearly wanting him to have a seat. ]

Won't you tell me your name?

[action]

[eastmontecarlo]

Do you think it's unpleasant?

[eastmontecarlo]

Well... I don't mean to disagree with you, but I've lived for a long time and I'm unafraid of new experiences, be they positive or negative. I welcome a change in perspective.

[action]

[bauhinia]

[ He shifts his weight. ]

I dunno. Not totally. Kinda.

Just a little.

[notsogay]

You have such a way with words.

( soft smile. )

I wish I could speak like you.

Re: action;

[sparklers]

Oh! Ah..

((He's seated, and it takes him a moment, but smiles.)) Clive, and you?

[then_there_were_none]

Of course! She lives in the same place I do.

...there are just, stools.

[Video]

[knightime]

It's fine. It's not like you probably knew that there might be blind people dragged into this shithole.

Hehehe, you've been forgiven.

[Video]

[itsfondue]

Nice meeting you too, Macau. [it's a beautiful day]

Oh, and Steve is just fine.

[eastmontecarlo]

Everyone has unique strengths for a reason. Even if you have a different way of speaking it does not necessarily mean that it is worse.

[eastmontecarlo]

You may call me Macau. It's simplest that way.

Hong Kong is the name of my brother; his body is the one you're currently occupying.

Re: action;

[sparklers]

Ah! I suppose that... explains a little...

((he looks at his hands.)) It's strange, honestly. I'd hate to ruin the sanctity of his body while I'm in possession of it. Would you know why this happened?
