[Camera feed turns on, revealing something that may be a familiar sight to some, a strange 'wtf' moment to others. A very large, seven+ feet tall bipedal pink rabbit??? Is striking a big, arms out pose. There appears to be a voice from a young woman coming from nowhere. Perhaps one holding the camera?]

Aaaand go!

Ahem! Howdy-doo, howdy-hoo! I'm Genbunny, and I have some cool news for you!

[It speaks in a high pitched voice.]

Though it may still be hot, Autumn is soon upon us! It is now the beginnin' of...uh...s-seppybempter!

September...

September! And Granny Botan is makin'/ new autumn cakes and snacks over at Botan Sweets! Please come visit us!

With that out of the way, welcome as always, new refugees! And hello to all the old ones! How are ya plannin' on spendin' the upcomin' fall?

[Of all the things he expected to find when scanning through the network, an advertisement like... this, was not among them. It's enough that he pauses to watch it, though it doesn't exactly do its job of encouraging him to go out and buy much of anything. To the contrary; this was now a place to avoid.

Between the outfit and the pitched voice, Emet-Selch doesn't suspect a thing as to this rabbit's identity. And as a video didn't record souls, there was no hint of any giveaway there.

Besides, it wasn't as though the Ascian were even remotely expecting to stumble across anyone that he knew here. What were the odds? Even if it did happen, it would likely be some random from the shards or Source, no one remarkable.

He could just ignore it the whole thing. But why do that when he could be disparaging?]

For every unfortunate you attract with a pitch like that, you'll drive off ten others.

[The actual question he ignores, at least for now.]

Ah- or were you hired by their competition...? Associate a rival shop with disturbing imagery... 'tis not a terrible plan.

[A good video advertisement + refugee engagement done. Now to check messages....

Ugh. Always. There is always one like this. Every single time! Genbu fumes as he types.]

Botan Sweets is great!!! And to that extent granny has been there for me since I came to Nippon back in Janary of this year!

[Janary? Perhaps Genbu meant January?]

I'll have u kno that I bring a lot of custommers to granny's shop with Genbunny!! And if any Debbie downers or negative nancies or frowny fredericks end up not wanting to go because of it well then it's no loss to us!! Come on bub u don't need to be like that tell Genbunny what's on yor mind!! Uncrank your cranky!!

the fuck is this

hey watch the potty mouth u never kno who is watching!!!!!

what? like kids? haha promise u kids say worse

yeah kids with no good role models in their life!!!! I'm not about to be a bad role model!!

[...Gods he can feel the headache already forming. One of those sorts, it seemed, tiresomely enthusiastic when there was no call for it. (There was never a call for it.) It had been a mistake to engage.

Which isn't about to stop him from continuing.]

Not much of a professional, are you? Do you insult every potential patron if they don't find your display charming?

I'm sure your employer appreciates your active effort in turning away anyone willing to look past your absurd costume.

[It's just a rabbit....]

One more gracious tip: telling anyone to stop being 'like that' is the absolute worst method of improving anyone's mood.

ur in a giant rabbit costume have u seen u? shits like nightmare fuel

u must come from a really nice place if an adorable rabbit costume is considered "scary" to u

u may have a point but usually grouchy passersby that go on about insulting businesses and their choice of costume aren't intending to be patrons of said businesses Anyroad yor right about telling people to stop being like that doesn't work in improving mood but that's why I'm asking u wat's wrong! Talking about yor worries can help improve mood usually!!!

no? kinda the opposite. like people comin at me with swords aint scary at all
some things just shouldnt be bigger than they need to be

eh I just deflect them with my axe, they usually go away ... What are u afraid of giant rabbits?

i aint afraid of shit
i wasnt talkin about me i was talkin about the kids ur worrying about getting scarred for life if i say fuck

hey kids come in all shapes and sizes don't shame some of them for being bigger than usual!

what

ur the thing whats bigger than usual
dont u read

well I'm not a real rabbit!! And so far the kids here don't seem to have a problem with me. Maybe I get an occasional toddler or two that cry but usually its because they just haven't seen the yokai and scary monsters yet. A big bunny is the scariest thing to them But kids are smart u kno!!! They can tell I'm not something to be scared of especially since they've seen much scarier things here It's the same with kids back home. They have dealt with a lot of scary things and don't see a big fluffy bunny as a threat

Oh, most assuredly. But why turn a meager chance into none at all, all in a fit of pique?

And asking a stranger to reveal their troubles to you- how impertinent, veering on rude. A stranger who already finds you less than endearing, at that. Patient as I am, however, I'll humor you.

I'm not worried. I've nothing here to worry me, and nothing at home to worry about losing. I am, by many definitions, fine.

no shit rabbits cant usually hold axes
or

i mean this bunny shit happens to servants all the time i dunno why but it does
anyway i said it wasn't a THREAT aint u listening
i aint afraid of no rabbits but it is fuckin weird

[Genbu wasn't exactly sure what hurt him more, this stranger trying so hard to gloom up what's supposed to be a cheerful event, or the fact that the way he typed and the words he used sounded all too familiar to him.

And not in a good way. Genbu can feel his heart grow heavy.]

yor a refugee aren't u?? We aren't strangers we all have a common ground and should all find comfort and camraderie in each other I don't like to see anyone here as a stranger Never did back home either And yor most sertainly not fine if the first thing u do is be a grouchy face on someone's happy video post! >:(

[...It was a way of seeing the world that he'd heard before, had dismissed or trivialized or outright contradicted before. There was something nostalgic about it, which... well. It depressed.

There's a slight delay before he replies, pushing aside the familiar melancholy (where it could remain with the rest of it).]

I am a 'refugee', and a freshly arrived one at that. But I'm searching for neither comfort nor camaraderie in the bounteous arms of this foreign star.

We're all strangers to each other. In a place like this, most especially.

And criticizing your performance was not the first thing I did. This was at least fourth or fifth down the list.

[Just ignoring any discussion on him being fine or not.]

what exactly is so weird about bunny costumes??? Do u not have plays or theaters or costumes where u come from???

yeah they had theaters and shit but that aint never been for people like me

awww u don't like plays? They're tons of fun! I did some kabuki here in Nippon actually They always make me play an oni though. Right height for it I guess hahahaha Is there anything u do enjoy doing? Pastimes? Hobbies?

[The hell was this guy on about, that was absolutely the first thing he did! BAH!]

I'm not even gonna comment in that statement But it's funny how you say foreign star it reminds me of how someone I know from back home would talk Are u perhaps homesick like I am? Maybe that's why yor so frowny? And yes I can tell yor frowning

never seen one
that shit aint for dumb fucks from the country who aint got any money is my point
anyway
i like gambling and i like drinking hehe
