[This video opens up to a redheaded guy in what looks like a pretty tiny apartment kitchen. Anyone who attends Kaisou High School will likely recognize him as the music teacher]

Erm...is this some kind of phishing or crypto scam? Because you're really wasting you're time if it is, I'm broke. If you need proof, I can show you my cupboard of ramen and eggs.

[He sighs, muttering to himself anxiously]

I really don't need this right now...

[Hi, Elliot. Please enjoy the actual catperson on your screen, with her ears twitching in curiosity because. Uh.]

Fishing? Crypto?

1/2

[fiddlestick]

[ ..... nani da frick]

2/2

[fiddlestick]

[Ok Elliot, don't react. Maybe it's just a vtuber situation! And that's why she's got cat ears! He thought those were usually animated but why wouldn't there be a CGI one? Yeah!!]

Y-Yeah, have you not heard of those before?

[thaumewturge]

Oh, no, we don't have either of those things where I'm from.

[Poor, poor Elliot.]

Well, we do have fishing, Limsa and...quite a lot of places would be in trouble if we didn't, but I am assuming you don't mean fishing for actual, edible fish?

[fiddlestick]

You don't...? Huh.

[Limsa? Never heard of that, but not like he knows every town on earth so he doesn't think much of it.

That or she's larping. Whatever.]

Oh, no, sorry- I meant phishing - P-H-I-S-H. It's when they do stuff to try to get your private information.

[thaumewturge]

[Rhel is just. Obviously confused for a moment before she reaches for a pen and a journal and writes something down. She'll have to look this up later because that sounds confusing as all hells. "Private information"? Like what, exactly?]

An interesting spelling, but I suppose it helps to keep people confusing the scam for actual, proper fishing. If you've read the words, anyroad. Crypto? As in crypts?

[fiddlestick]

Eheh, yeah that might be why! I don't know much about either kind of fishing, so I can't say for sure.

[How does one fish? he has no idea]

No, not crypts. Crypto is.. [He pauses, trying to figure out] A-Actually I don't know what it is really. I think it's some kind of money system?

[thaumewturge]

But not one you particularly care for? Going by how you spoke of it.

[fiddlestick]

Not particularly no. [he sighs]

Guys who are into crypto say they care about art, but they only really seem to care about how much money it makes them. I can't say I care for that.

[thaumewturge]

Understandably, though I wonder what art has to do with a money system... Oh, do they try to buy and sell art, somehow?

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, except it's not their artwork to sell. They just steal it and then try to sell it off.

My ex-boyfriend got some of his art stolen by those guys. It's been a pain for him to deal with.

[thaumewturge]

Oh. That sort of...thief. My condolences to your former partner.

["Boyfriend" and similar terms, at least, she figured out extremely quickly.]

Well, you can be assured that this "app" isn't either of those things. It is simply an app that, according to those from this world, just appears on the phones of locals when Zodiac decides they should have it.

[fiddlestick]

Thanks.

[He'll leave that line of topic very well alone. The less said about his ex the better honestly]

Zodiac? Whose that?

[thaumewturge]

You would be better off asking someone who knows them for more than the people currently putting myself and others up in free apartments for the time being. I understand they're not particularly well-liked, or at least not trusted, by the ones from this world who know of them.

[Or the isekais who've been here a while but.]

[fiddlestick]

-- Free apartments?!

[SORRY AND HE'S PAYING RENT ON HIS TINY STUDIO HERE???]

[thaumewturge]

Yes, but I believe it's only for those who aren't from here. They're not especially large, but they are free provided we do some work for them.

[fiddlestick]

[Oh wow that sounds....


Extremely sketchy!!! Elliot will ask very carefully]

What...kind of work are we talking about?

[thaumewturge]

At the moment, I believe it is mostly just "go into the Spirit Realm when they ask".

[fiddlestick]

And the "Spirit Realm" is...?

[STILL SOUNDS SHADY]

[thaumewturge]

[Blink blink.]

I...would think that would be rather self-explanatory?

[fiddlestick]

I'm sorry, but it's not.

Could you please explain it to me like I'm five?

[thaumewturge]

Well, going by what I've been able to gather in my few weeks here, it is a realm that runs parallel to this one that is full of magic and other such things. Ah, here, one moment--

[And Rhel will stand (that is a tail, Elliot) and go to get her Litwick from where it's napping in the little nest she made for it, just in case it starts dripping wax.]

Here. I found this little one in the Spirit Realm when I arrived here this month.

1/2

[fiddlestick]

A realm that's full of magic....?

[mmmkay, this is definitely sounding like a LARP deal, but Rean insisted otherwise and so did that other guy, so he'll try to take in stride. And by stride, he means take another sip of that beer he got while talking to Ghaleon while Rita gets up to retrieve something-- ]

[fiddlestick]

[Annnd proceeding to do an actual spittake when she bring a LIVING CANDLESTICK]

That's a---

[Oh, it's moving. It has eyes and it's moving.]

W-What the Heck?!

[thaumewturge]

[Oh dear. That may have been too much.

Well. It proves her point?]

I'm hardly the only one with such a creature. Are you alright?
