Photo/Video. Upholding a proud tradition.

[It’s a proud tradition afterall, the silly accidental first network post. This one comes with a photo though, of a rather famous face sitting at a table in a restaurant, smiling toward a camera.

It’s followed a few minutes later by a video post, revealing the girl herself.]

Oh, shoot, that was supposed to on my Instagram, not here. Oh, well, I guess the cat’s out of the bag now.

Hi, everybody, Kirara Hoshimoto here! I don’t really know what brought all this on, but it looks like I’m part of the group now. I guess we can call that picture a special gift just for this network, so if anybody wants an autographed version just let me know and I’ll send one right over, okay?

[She flashes the screen a big smile, winks and holds her hand up in the “V” sign.]

I’ll see you all around. Bye!

[OOC: If anybody wants to consider any test drive meme threads as canon, I'm down for that. Just let me know somewhere so I can roll with it!]

Awesome. [ Daaang yeah, she's pretty. ]

Oh, trust me, even if things have calmed down, you better be ready for something screwed up to come to you, sooner or later. Like, not trying to scare you, just... prepare you?

[ She should be a rapper aw yeah. ]

Anyways, thanks! That'd be great.

[Marina definitely has a way with accidental rhyming. Enough that it gets a little laugh out of her.]

Well, thanks for the warning. I'll definitely keep an eye out for any screwed up stuff but I'm pretty sure I can handle it.

And if I can't, I can always come to you guys for help, right?

[Or magical karate kick it but, shh, that's a secret for now.]

[ Score, she made the famous chick laugh. ]

I'm sure you're pretty capable of like, dealing with the not-so-dangerous stuff at least, but don't hesitate if it looks like you need some muscle on your side. I've got magic powers and a dragon that turns into a giant robot.

[Good going, Marina.]

What, seriously? [A dragon robot? This she has to see! She leans forward a little bit, excited.] Can I see it?

No lie, it's a little much for like... a phone camera to show off. And I don't think he likes being bugged just to showoff so I'll have to talk to him.

[ He's really a bit of a pushover sometimes though. ]

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

He talks?

[Highly relevant information here!]

Well, to be fair, he's only talked to me so far, really.

[ Being a Magic Knight and all. ]

Wow.

Well, if a phone camera isn't good enough I'll just have to try to make some time to come see him for myself!

[Sure is a movie star talking about coming by for a visit there, Marina.]

If you're down in New Zealand, or I'm ever... wherever you are at the time... we'll uh... work something out.

[ Hell yet it is. ]

Gateway City right now. Probably for a few more months before I head back home, or get sent out to another location.

[There's always another project afterall. The hype from Valhalla isn't going to last forever.]

I'd love to visit New Zealand sometime though. If I ever make it, I'll look you up!

Guess if I'm around there we can go somewhere I'm not just plopping a giant robot down in the middle of the city. But yeah, if you're ever down here, come find me - Shepherd's Haven is where a lot of us are living now.

[Shepherd's Haven, huh? She can't say she's ever heard of it, but she'll make a note of it all the same.]

Sounds like a plan! I've got a pretty full schedule these days but if you're in town, get me through this thing and I'll see if I can work up some free time to hang out.

[Yep, it's that simple.]

[ It's tiny and boring. ]

Awesome! I'll see what I can do then, probably have an excuse to go there sooner or later anyways.

[Yeah, okay, Gateway sounds much better.]

I'll keep an eye out for you. Bring your girlfriend too!

[If she only knew....]

[ The one nice thing is not getting shit for existing. ]

She'll be way more excited than I am, so I wouldn't dream of not bringing her.

[Well, okay, that's probably a plus. Though Kirara probably has limited experience there.]

Oh? Is she a big movie fan?

Movies are one of her biggest passions, honestly.

Oh, cool! It sounds like we'll have a lot to talk about then!

[She's not just a movie star, she's also a movie nerd. Enjoy, Marina, there's two of them!]

And I'll have a lot to try to listen to while it goes over my head...

[ She's doomed herself. ]

Maybe you should try watching more movies.

I'll try to watch ones that don't put me to sleep anyways.

That shouldn't be too hard. What kind of stuff do you like?

I dunno, like, comedies and romance and stuff. Some action, as long as it's not just a bunch of macho bullshit.

Oh, yeah, those are the worst.

[Hmm... let's see though.]

Romantic comedies can get kinda cliche but there's still plenty of good ones. Have you ever seen It Happened One Night?

Jasmine made sure of it, yeah. That one was pretty great.
