[Draco feels somewhat foolish, standing in front of this—stupid... thing. this muggle techy thing, his nose and cheeks bright pink from the bite of the chilled air, hands stuffed stubbornly in his pockets. he activates the video feed, but doesn't quite know what to say for the first second it's rolling—he licks his chapped lips and then knits his eyebrows together crossly, pensively addressing the screen.]

Have you ever surprised yourself with how much you really didn't hate someone you were perfectly sure you hated quite a lot?

[Draco looks down, his forehead wrinkling somewhat with the intensity that his eyebrows are furrowed. he's not totally sure what he's doing, but it's hard not to chase this impulse.]

Bloody remarkable.

Okay, wow- hi everyone!

[In the middle of a flurry of lace and fabric, Cupid pulls a safety pin from a pincushion and onto a dress form. She's had her mirror tablet hooked into the network and it's obviously settled on a bedside table from what's visible behind her. She waves cheerily before momentarily disappearing beneath some fabric to correct some draping before pinning it in place, then reappears with a thin ribbon coiling into her hair to settle her chin on her hand against her bed, smiling.]

So hey, I was in the middle of working up a holiday outfit and I realized- I hadn't seen hide or hair of any planning for a holiday party! And okay, granted I get that this place doesn't exactly seem very festivity-intensive at the moment, but hey! We can't expect them to accommodate every holiday, right?

So I was thinking...

[Her smile turns slightly impish- and hopeful.]

Would anyone want to go in on throwing a bash with me? We can even plan a Secret Santa and everything! What do you say?

[Oh, a new face on the Network. But this one's sporting a frown and a black eye. Despite that and the black eye looking relatively fresh, he seems to be all too cool with circumstances.]

Good evening. I don't normally lean on such public network choices- I prefer something more face-to-face- but I felt it was prudent that I offer my apologies for my actions during that unusual rainstorm that occurred just a few days ago. But WHY the rain made us all sing, I can't even fathom...

But alongside such apologies I want to offer my gratitude to the individuals I encountered during my in-hindsight foolish choice in swimming venue and beforehand, and in turn offer an invitation: Yamagishi-san, Natsuki-san, Iori-san and Cupid-san... thank you. [With that, he dipped into as much of a bow as he can manage at the terminal.]

I had considered having a Hot Pot in the midst of the frigid weather, but it's common knowledge that such things taste far better when eaten with friends. As such, I would like for you to join me. I will provide the ingredients.

[For a moment he looks proud, beaming.] And worry not! The Ryugazaki family, you'll find, has a superb recipe for the best Hot Pot broth that I think you'll all appreciate. It is, however, a secret I keep locked tightly away in memory, so you'll have no luck getting it out of me!

[But he brings a hand to his mouth, clears his throat, and looks away.] But until the night in question...

[The other hand sheepishly lifts a very broken pair of red-framed glasses into view. No wonder he was squinting a little.]

...Where might I have these repaired?

[Irene turns on the video feed, and while she looks just as put together as ever, her office looks a bit messier than usual – you can see her desk in the background, covered with notes and unorganized papers…which is pretty normal for a desk, really, just not for Irene’s desk. Has she been distracted?

She seems to be in a very good mood, though! Her smile looks more genuine than her usual calm, customer service face.]


Everyone, I wanted to ask you a few questions. Now, we have a lot of holidays here in Saeng Seong. Several of you were here for our last festival, and we’re going to have another one coming up at the end of this month… [oh!] which I’m not sure we’ve notified you about yet, but we’ll have more details later.

Our city – our world - has a long history, but I’m also sure that your worlds do, too. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m curious – what are some of the important traditions from your worlds? What holidays do you celebrate?

[She was going to end the video there, but she stops, reconsidering.]

On another note, regarding the fall festival I mentioned earlier, we’re currently open to suggestions if you all have any. I’ll be keeping track of comments here myself, and I can pass on information to the committee.

[He seems to be adjusting something as the screen comes on, but draws back while addressing the camera.]

Weeeell, looks like it's getting chilly out. Don't really think I'm looking forward to that, never really experienced winter on Earth, really. But I'm more in the mood to stave that off as much as possible, so I've got two priorities here.

Firstly? Warmer clothes. Where do I get some?

The next, something I've also never done before, bonfire party. Anybody up for that?
And especially you kids, Madoka, Dia, the rest. You guys up for it?

[Private to Madoka] )

[the entry starts with Draco suddenly leaning away from the stationary screen, looking relatively bewildered—and not looking at the camera, because he doesn't know what that is or where to find it. he leans back forward, observing the screen, and gives it an uncertain little tap. he mumbles, a little.]

Is it working, then?

[he rolls his eyes and sighs.]

Feel like a sodding idiot...
Well, here goes.

[and, unsure if this is properly doing its thing or not, Draco just hopes that it's working so that he's not literally talking to a wall. Draco seems to decide looking at the screen is probably the best course of action, as he talks—so to those viewing him, his eyecontact isn't direct, but hey, it's not too off!]

Some of you've already met me; my name is Draco Malfoy. I'm a somewhat recent arrival for this embarrassment of a city.

[and, as is characteristic of his house, Draco gets straight to business.]

I heard this was probably the easiest way to contact people conveniently, since there's no other option. I'm looking for a partner—someone to rely on when I start to get ill.

[he prays people get his meaning.]

That said, besides obviously helping the health of whoever steps up to the task, you won't be doing this for nothing. I'm a wizard—I know magical abilities aren't incredibly uncommon around here, but there's a fair bit of magic that can be incredibly convenient in the—[Draco half scowls, half winces,] domestic scheme of things, I guess...

Anyway—a simple exchange of information, such as where we're living or places we frequent, and trust enough to find one another as necessary is all I ask.
