1st Hour [Video]

[perfectmaid.livejournal.com]

[The video flips on first with a picture of the floor of one of the hotel rooms before suddenly switching to a view of a young woman's face - a silver-haired maiden. Or rather, maid. She is indeed wearing a maid uniform and headband, but none of that trashy lacy costume stuff you see in the adult stores or cosplay catalogues. This actually looks pretty normal.]

It says recording... so I suppose it is on? Though I can't tell who it is sending it to...

In any case, hello. I'm Sakuya Izayoi and, well... if there's anyone who might like to explain why it is I'm here, I'm all ears. And if you're responsible... well, I'd love to speak with you.

[There's something vaguely threatening about how she smiles when she says that... but it's probably just your imagination, right? Looking again, her smile is perfectly friendly and any idea that she might have looked otherwise is just silly!]

And Remilia-ojousama, Flandre-imoutosama, Patchouli-sama... if you're here or can hear me, please respond; I'll come to you right away if at all possible.

You'll have to take a look around. I'm afraid there's no ready employment for us. Some of us have our own businesses, one of them may let you have a job.

I see... well, I like to think I have a marketable skill set, but I can't say I'm too familiar with the culture of this country.

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

From your name I suspect you are Japanese? There are several people from Japan here who have adjusted. If you ask, I'm sure you will find someone to help explain cultural differences to you.

[perfectmaid.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am. And that's good to know... though I'm also from a rather obscure part of Japan... [re: part of it that's locked in a magical historical fantasy land]

We've got the internet and books here; I'm sure we can figure out some way to help.

[perfectmaid.livejournal.com]

...what's the internet?

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

Oh, dear. Are you trying to joke? [She's so bad at technology. How does she explain this?]

[perfectmaid.livejournal.com]

I am not... I've never heard of such a thing.

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

Do you know what a computer is?

[perfectmaid.livejournal.com]

I've heard of them... they're those thinking machines, aren't they?

[oh god her concept of computers is so dated and only based on some vague shit that shows up gensokyo every now and then]

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

Yes, and they are able to connect to each other and to data using a system called the internet.

[perfectmaid.livejournal.com]

Oh, so the internet is a link between computers... kind of like how these devices are connected?
