What was done to us is very rude. But I'm not angry.

I hope none of you are angry, either. We should all get along.

[a pause. She brings herself to smile. That makes people like you, doesn't it?

Of course it does.]

My name is Mary. I hope we can be friends.

[another pause - she leans over, resting her chin on the palm of her hand, expression idle. Mary has the eyes of a girl who daydreams constantly.]

What are we to do about our problem?

[there are rustling sounds, like someone wearing heavy clothing fidgeting, and what sounds like rusty machinery moving in fits and starts nearby. nothing else, though, for several seconds— an accidental recording, perhaps?

this proves not be the case when someone finally speaks, their tone deeply reluctant with an undercurrent of nerves]

... E-excuse me. Would anyone happen to know where I might find surgical supplies?

Helloooooo Promitto! [video]

*Today on your steamgear: a brightly smiling woman with blue hair, sittin' on a sofa somewhere that doesn't look like the break room back in the tower.*

Hello, fellow new arrivals to Promitto! My name is Seiga, a hermit by calling. I've already met some of you, and I'm quite looking forward to meeting the rest of you as well. Please, if we haven't spoken, feel free to send me a message.

Also, I'm curious. Though I'm sure we all have certain qualms about how we were brought here, it seems we'll have to get settled for the time being. So, what's everyone doing for accommodations? Personally, I've taken up in a house in the city's eastern quarter; that seems to be where most of the living space is.

*Seiga turns her gear's camera, panning it over a spacious, comfortable-looking living room, the decor showing a certain Jazz Age-esque flair. Seiga chuckles as she turns the camera back towards her.*

A little ostentatious, I'll be the first to admit, but not so bad for all of that. Now, I'm certain there's room enough in this city for all of us to claim homes of our own. But if anyone's interested in sharing, well, this place has plenty of room, and I'd be happy for the company!
