[ Hello, Fortuna! Recorded greetings from a very congenial personified special administrative region are here to greet you today. Macau is seated quite calmly in front of his communicator though if one looked closely they might notice just how perfectly centered he is in the shot and just how spotless his glasses and clothing are. He's put a lot of work into this! ]

Bom dia, Fortuna. [ Of course with the Portuguese; he can't help himself. ] I want to take the time to welcome all of our new residents and state that I can hardly await the pleasure of meeting each and every one of you in person. Please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything that you require to make your stay more comfortable.

... Thank you. [ Alright, so the end is a little flat; he should've planned that better. But it's the best he's got! And with that he'll give a slight bow before smiling and clicking off the camera. ]

Thank you! I'm actually glad to be back!

[eastmontecarlo]

What an excellent attitude to have.

[allneonlike]

Yeah, I've really missed everyone I know.

( Smile. )

I'm Yuki Kuran by the way, perhaps you've met the human me?

[eastmontecarlo]

Human?

I'm afraid I don't believe I've yet had the pleasure.

[allneonlike]

A-Ah never mind then.

澳門叔叔, do you have any casinos here? Or can I help you count the cash?

[On the screen is a seventeen year old boy with brown eyes, which look like... a certain someone else's. That long blue and pink hair tied back in a low ponytail (which reaches the middle of his back) also strikes resemblance to a certain someone.]

[ "叔叔"...? ]

Ah... I'm afraid you won't find much "cash" here. Perhaps we should start with introductions, first, though you appear to already know my name. [ Surely it can't be, can it...? ]

[chinesesweets]

Of course I know and you know me, or... you will. I'll go ahead and say my name anyway. I'm Yuèyǐng Wang, but people call me Cravat too sometimes.

[eastmontecarlo]

It's a pleasure to meet you. Would you prefer to be addressed by the former name or the latter?

[chinesesweets]

Yuèyǐng is fine with me, plus it'd probably flow more easily on your tongue. [He's switched to Cantonese.]

[elegant_generosity]

If you really wish to make my stay more comfortable, could you please direct me to the nearest spa? Surely a dump like this has at least that.

[eastmontecarlo]

[ Hellooo, talking pony. ]

A spa? I apologize, madam, I haven't heard of any such facility in the area. If you need a place to stay for a while, however, I'm willing to offer you my home. [ He is so chill with this. ]

[applejacked]

Jumpin' jackrabbits, do you wanna tell a girl what's goin' on here?

[eastmontecarlo]

[ Another pony! He is fascinated by this. ]

Absolutely. I would be glad to answer any of your questions. This is a planet called Fortuna, and you have been brought here by a group of scientists.

Oh, I apologize. My name is Macau.

[applejacked]

Gosh almighty, Mr. Macau, that sure is a tall tail if I ever did hear one.

[eastmontecarlo]

Ahahaha, it is, isn't it? I'm sorry if that's inconvenient for you, but I'll do my best to help you become adjusted to this place. May I ask your name?

[applejacked]

You sure can. I'm Applejack, of Sweet Apple Acres! It's real nice to meet'cha, Mr. Macau.

[action] because I had to

[kowloon]

[ Someone is sleeping on your couch, Macau. ]

[action]

[eastmontecarlo]

[ And here he is, innocently leaving his room in the morning to find the small intruder. ]

... Oh. Excuse me. [ He sits cautiously on the edge of the cushions, attempting not to jar him too much. ]

[action]

[kowloon]

[ This particular guest is still very sleepy. It's past time to wake up, but he had a time of it trying to get here! Don't ask how he made it either. All you need to know is that he is pooped!

Anyway, he kind of curls up more when Macau speaks, wrapping around the throw pillow he has captured. ]

[action]

[eastmontecarlo]

[ He merely smiles! The look in his eyes is unidentifiable as he reaches out, slowly touching that small hand. ]

I'm sorry. You seem pretty tired.

You must've been through a lot, hm?

[Video]

[blueeyeswhiteprick]

The only help I want from you is more information about this place and that's all.

[Video]

[eastmontecarlo]

That can certainly be managed. Is there anything in particular that you have questions about, sir?

[Video]

[blueeyeswhiteprick]

What is this place and why does look like the world came to an end?

[Video]

[eastmontecarlo]

This, sir, is a planet known as Fortuna. A group of scientists succeeded in bringing you here.
