WHO: Corrin and You!
WHERE: Libra Network
WHEN: Mid-October
WHAT: There's a new catboy Warrior of Light that's hit the network! Come say hi or cringe out of your skin from secondhand embarrassment or something.
WARNINGS: Shouldn't be any!
[Corrin has been staring at this social media app that installed itself on his phone like it's the barrel of a gun. He put it aside for two days before looking at it again.
He should....
He should introduce himself.
Right?
Oh, but that's so many people looking at him all at once. Maybe he should... wait. Get the courage a little later.
It takes a third day of having this thing that Corrin finally takes the plunge. A Miqo'te man is on the screen looking distinctly nervous. He looks like he wants to be anywhere but here.]
H-h-hello.... Um, I-I think some of you saw me before, b-but, um, just... just in case, I'm Corrin Child. I was, uh, woken up from... a... very long sleep? A-about a year ago.
[Deep breaths, Corrin, you can do this!]
Uh, um... or y-you might know me by my past life's name, K'rihnn Tia. I'll... pretty much respond to either, they sound similar enough that I don't think it'll be an issue so it's whatever you prefer.
[Corrin looks like he wants to either cringe his skeleton out of his body or go to Hyrule and throw himself into The Hole. The purple-haired man pauses to try and regain what little courage his has left. He can do this! Really!]
Ahem... I'm also a professional chef. Um... I went to school for it, s-so... oh, gods. [Help. HELP.] I-I guess... ask me anything?
[You did it, Corrin, you got through the scary introduction.]

OH NO SOMEONE WITH A LOMINSAN ACCENT?!
Fuck his entire life he's so cooked. Corrin is going to do his absolute best to not slip into it himself.]
Er... I dunno? I, ah, take it you're from Limsa Lominsa.
[NAILED IT FLAWLESSLY (20). For now.]
no subject
Aye, just 'bout my whole life. Name's Scintilla Caminus--Warrior f'Light, or leastways one'f 'em, around here.
no subject
No, he's not allowed mercy.]A-ah! Well... it's nice to know I'm not the only one, then. Sounds like I missed... quite a lot. I, um, wasn't aware there were other Warriors of Light here.
[That gives him a sense of relief, though. For multiple reasons.]
no subject
Aye, there's... [counting off on clawed fingers] ffffour or five? Pretty sure that's right. Tough to keep track, tell y'honestly.
no subject
Th-that's... quite a lot! And you just came here straight from Eorzea?
no subject

But it also gave Takame the experience to approach with a gentle hand. The man is clearly nervous, after all.]
Excuse me. [Said with a tone softer than usual, before increasing to his normal but still soft tone gradually.]
K'rhinn Tia. I do not recognize your name, but I recognize that it is a Miqo'te's naming convention. Is that correct?
[Easy questions for the skittish cat first! Warm him up to the conversation before asking complicated things.]
no subject
Ah, y-yes. I'm a Seeker of the Sun, and a member of the K tribe. Or, rather, I was. N-not so much in this life, I suppose.
-> video
[And he turns the video on! Revealing a Raen Au Ra with an expression that was a bit hard to read and harder to match with his tone. Unless one noted the lack of cadence, anyway.
He will bow his head slightly.]
My name is Takame Kesi. I knew a number of Seekers of the Sun. One personally that took a name from the O tribe, and others... among the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. Y'shtola Rhul and G'raha Tia.
[Increasing the awkward level of the questions.]
Are those names familiar to you?
no subject
Awkward, yes, but he's able to answer easily enough.]
They are. I joined as a member of the Scions, and, um, kind of... became what Eorzea needed at the time. Y'shtola and G'raha were good friends of mine.
[Corrin isn't sure if they'd even want to associate with him after what he's done, but that's an issue for the future not the present.]
B-but it's nice to meet you, Takame. I take it you know the Scions?
no subject
I see. You are... a Warrior of Light, then?
["Becoming what Eorzea needs" felt like enough of an opening for Takame to just kinda come right out with it.
He nodded his single WOL nod.]
Mm, and you as well. I do know the Scions... I know them well. I was... with them.
[Off screen his tail thumped against where he sat. For a moment he was silent, eyes closed in contemplation.]
Forgive me, this may come off as... something of a shock. In another existence, another "timeline", I, too, was the Warrior of Light.

Belle?!
[Oh, gods, there's so much that's happened in his life, but he's glad to see his best friend. He's also very glad he's sitting down right now. Corrin hasn't been expecting to see any of his friends from before... well.]
I-I'm not hallucinating... right?
no subject
no subject
The new color suits you! I almost didn't recognize you.
[Ah, the question that he's been dreading. The Seeker scratches his cheek nervously as he thinks over his words.]
Um... it's... a long story. And not very nice. I-I didn't leave because I wanted to, though.
[He stops, sighs, and takes a deep breath.]
I, um, remembered my past life, and then got picked up by The Old Order, but things went really... wrong... on a Mission. So... I was deemed way too dangerous to keep at the time and they told me that they couldn't help train me to fix that so I was put into a cryogenic sleep since apparently killing me was out of the question?
[The anxiety got to Corrin really bad at the end there. He's so sorry, Belle. There wasn't even a pause for breath.]
no subject
She used to look over her shoulder, to see if Corrin was following. She...hasn't done that in years.
Could she have found him, if she'd dug hard enough?]
That's silly. [Her tone is a little forceful.] They just—gave up on helping you? That's awful. God, Corrin, I'm sorry. I'm glad you're out of cryo now, you deserve better than that. And real help, too!
