video, un: Yousoro★

[When the video turns on, You is standing next to a wooden box, about the size of a large microwave oven, her hand resting on its top. She seems to be in the marketplace of Olympia.

She waves at the camera.] Hi~!

So, this place has months that are pretty much just like the ones on Earth, right? Which means that we're coming up on a very special holiday: Valentine's Day! Seriously, it's right around the corner!

If you don't have it where you're from, Valentine's Day is a holiday all about love, and romance, and celebrating the people you love! [There's the slightest of pauses. She frowns a little bit.] Actually, to tell the truth, it's a little bit different in Japan, but-- but that's not important right now! The important thing is, it's almost here!

And I know that since we're all still uprooted from home, it's probably really lonely to spend Valentine's Day by yourself. Sooooo... I'm gonna find everyone a match! [She beams at the camera, using her thumbs and fingers to form a heart-shape in front of her chest. It's honestly kinda precious.

She breaks the heart shape to tap the top of the wooden box.] Seriously, I'm gonna do it! I've got a box set up in Olympia, and one set up in Wyver, and you can fill out the form and put it in the box, and I'll go full-speed-ahead at finding you a perfect match! And, we'll all have a big dinner party with your new date!

[Another pause. Her expression turns sheepish.] Actually, if anyone wanted to help chip in money for that... renting the place is gonna be really expensive...

--but yeah, you should sign up! It's going to be great!

Oh jeez, I don't even know if I want to think about that! [She says with a nervous half-laugh.] Like... ...okay, back home I went to a girl's school, right? So I really only ever knew other girls, I didn't know a lot of guys. But guys and girls are supposed to be together most of the time, so I guess I never, uh, really thought twice about... [She trails off, having kind of lost her point.] --anyway, I'm not rushing or anything like that! I've only ever kissed someone once, you know?

[seagoing]

Makes sense. I hadn't thought about women either myself until I was able to set out on my own. You only need just the right one that's just your type to cross you path, and I think by then it becomes more than obvious if that's what you're into. Try not to think on it too much, just let what happens happen.

[She doesn't suggest her method of figuring out what works because it's absolutely not meant for virgin ears. And, speaking of-]

Only the once? No wonder you get so flustered so easily over anything even slightly suggestive. [She laughs, but the smile she gives You is a fond one instead of mocking.] It's cute I promise! I actually almost envy you a little, you only experience that sort of outlook to romance and intimacy only once in a lifetime. Savor it while you have it, rushing will only make you lose that too soon. Not to mention you're young, so just have fun with figuring it out.

[It is not remotely a judgmental or teasing look that she catches from Isabela, but it still makes You feel... young. And a little naive. This lady is so worldly and experienced, and she's... not.

Is that what you get from sailing the world?] Yeah, it was just the one time. And we were, uh, kinda... drunk? Like, not drunk drunk, but we both had this weird stuff to drink and-- [She coughs. It's embarrassing.] --but he's a really great guy so it wasn't weird or anything!

[Maybe a little.]

But like you said, I'm still kinda young, so...

...plenty of time to work it out for myself, right?
