Bartending live
Who: You
Where: The lobby
When: Day 87
[Codex is on camera, speaking to everyone from the lobby, it's obvious he's arranged chairs and set out glasses to facilitate some bar tending]
Did anyone receive fanmail they'd like to respond to? If so, come down to the lobby and use BARiTONES live, we'll be providing free drinks for anyone responding publicly to their mail.
Think of this as a way to encourage the sort of audience engagement you're interested in. I realize fanmail is often... invasive, but I'm sure most of you have fans you wouldn't mind hearing from again.
[You are free to assume you already got a drink from Codex and are sitting down to address mail, or to top level a comment to Codex and he'll respond!]

[Someone may be too young to drink.
[Someone may also feeling a bit bad about burning that letter, even though it was... really weird.]
I, um... got some questions that it would probably be impolite to ignore, so... I'll try my best to answer them as well as I can!
I--might have siblings? I don't know. I'm afraid I don't remember my family yet. But I don't think my mother's name was actually Wednesday, I assume she must have been Japanese like me, so... it's not that likely. I think my name might not be literal, but only the producers would know for sure. Sorry I can't be more helpful!
[Not sure what to say about the suggestion re: Leviathan. So:]
Thank you so much to everyone who wrote to me and, um, I'm okay for books so you don't need to send me any of those. Goodbye~!

When she is finished, he claps politely.]
You did much more than you owed them. If they aren't satisfied with that, then I don't know what would appease them.
no subject
[Wednesday blushes. She can't help herself, really--
[She tells herself she would have done the same if he were anybody, and is very glad she left the second letter out of it.]
I... wasn't very fluent. Maybe I should write a script or something first next time?
no subject
You appeared very natural. I don't think you need one at all. This seems much more authentic.
no subject
[Authentic sounds important. Authentic sounds right.]
W-well, if that's the case...! I suppose I'll get more practice, but - it's important for an idol to be true to themselves, isn't it?
no subject
[So bright and cheerful.]
I'm glad to see you're doing a little better.
no subject
[Should she not mention Hiryuu?
[But - if she didn't - might that not look pointed? Like she was trying to... talk around her? ]
Was Hiryuu okay when you spoke to her? I - you'll have to forgive me asking because I know you would have looked after her, but... she got a good night's sleep, didn't she? She's feeling better now?
no subject
[He nods, closing his eyes and lifting a hand up to his heart. He's just so relieved to see that she isn't traumatized. She really is still acting like her cheerful self.]
My brother and the princess stayed that night at SensitIIV. I was so worried, I just wanted to ensure they were okay. Especially since my brother has become ill. [Too...]
While there's been some tension between myself and one of my unitmates, everyone was alright with their presence there, fortunately.
no subject
[That--
[--doesn't surprise Wednesday in the slightest, actually. If she had been handed a list of all the girls she'd met here so far and told to guess which one of them was the actual literal princess, Hiryuu would have been her first choice.]
I'm sorry, Levi. Of course she's a princess!
[Hiryuu, you make so much more sense now.]
No wonder she's so kind and so patient and - and wise, really!
[Oh boy.
[Wednesday, you definitely can't compete. You shouldn't even be trying--
[But a princess? She's not even mad.]
no subject
[He's so glad that they seem to know each other. Wednesday deserves good people to be friends with, and no one could possibly be a better choice than Yona herself.]
I'm really glad that the two of you seem to get along. I think that you could both help each other a lot.
no subject
no subject
[He's one of the few who sticks with princess, especially after she said he tended to do so at home, too. Perhaps even a small gesture like that will help him regain some of his memories.]
You doubt yourself too much. Just having a reliable friend is enough to help. Sometimes all a person needs is a listening year and someone willing to be there.
no subject
[She doesn't want to be the only one calling her Princess. She doesn't want to be the only one who isn't.]
Do you really think that? I... suppose I've been feeling like I've been nothing but useless since I got here, but - well, if she didn't think I was in the way, then maybe it would be all right?
no subject
[He certainly has as well. It's difficult because they've been thrust into this situation that they have very little control over.]
But actually, there may be a way that both of us could help, if...you would like to help me?
[1/2]
Oh, of course!
[2/2]
[You said that far too quickly, didn't you, Wednesday?
[Ground, swallow me up.]
I-I mean...! If you're sure I'm the best person...?
Re: [2/2]
[Encouragingly. He has faith in her abilities. All she has to do is be sincere. He coughs, ducking it into the crook of his elbow, before continuing along.]
I have been talking with a couple of people in my unit, as well as the princess. About what happened at the recent game.
[There...isn't a need to think too deeply about what happened right now. Just the basics.]
Three different groups decided to save SensitIV. Because my group is very unpopular right now, it is my belief that they thought Heart Soldier Senshi would be protected by someone, and we would all die needlessly.
[Which, very clearly, turned out not to be the case.]
I know that in the future, games will likely be different from that, but...
[His eyes close and he shakes his head.]
If each group had another group they were already responsible for protecting from the start, then maybe everyone's lives could have been spared. No one would have needed to be hurt. [Which is what hurts and frustrates him the most. Deaths could have been prevented.]
If in the future, we can get the groups to agree to do what is best for everyone, and work together, we might...be able to prevent at least one less person dying in the future. I want... to hold a meeting with all of the units. Including pep!pep! I'm sure that everyone would prefer to do what they can to help others as a whole. It just...needs better organized.
no subject
[He's got a sight more faith in her than she does. Wednesday isn't sure if doing things one after the next and trying and failing not to get completely overwhelmed counts as making a difference, but--
[But if it's Levi who's thinking it?
[It's different if it's him. It's different if it's doing it for him, for - for a friend. For any friend, she tells herself, she'd do it for any of them...
[(But, when it's Levi doing the asking, it's that one bit more simple still to bury her own doubts, her own fears, the anxious little voice that's telling her this couldn't possibly work because, because, because. Because he's thinking all the things that she has, he believes in all the same things that she so desperately wants to believe are possible - that people are reasonable and they can be trusted, that just maybe there's a way out of this that can stop anybody from getting hurt.
[Because he's Levi. Because if anybody can do this, it's him.
[Him and Hiryuu, she corrects herself, and that sounds a lot less... something. Silly.]
All right, what do you need me to do? Just... talk to my unit? Or is there more?
no subject
[He nods, glad she's caught on.]
Pep Pep, in general, is a very reasonable unit I think. But if you could talk to them, or we could talk together with Cobalt, it would be incredibly helpful.
no subject
There has to be some way to stop people getting hurt unnecessarily.
no subject
[NOD NOD]
And we'll all figure it out together.
no subject
You would probably work very well together.
no subject
[He sounds rather proud about all of this, chest puffing up.]
The first memory from home I saw through my companions from home, was her efforts to save an entire village from Fire Tribe officials. She is daring and kind and wants to protect others as much as possible. We have spoken, and while she said there have been attempts in the past that did not turn out well, I am sure we can do something about it now.
no subject
I'm afraid my first memory wasn't anywhere near so impressive.
no subject
It would be concerning if everyone was forced into such a dangerous situation. I am glad that you do not have to deal with such things.
