[ The video opens with Lydia clearly adjusting her camera phone. She is sitting in her bedroom, which is completely bedecked in pink. I mean. Pink walls. Pink comforter. Pink pillows. Her lamp even has a pink-tinted lightbulb, to give the whole thing a warm, pink glow.

Lydia is... looking a little worse for wear. Smeared makeup, bags under her eyes, hair's a little fussed... She's obviously hungover. ]

So I just got a lecture from Vicks on how I ought to "grow up". [ she makes air quotes as she says this ] WELL, as if I haven't heard THAT one before, you may not have had the balls to use those exact words but I know what you're thinking.

So, Vicks thinks he's such an adult, huh? Some kinda big man who makes perfect choices all the time and never acts like a child? WELL, let me tell YOU that he is being a completely totes childish IDIOT right now.

So like I kinda got arrested for like drunken disorderly conduct or like some BS. WhatEVER, that Beifong is totes harsh. She's prob a lesbo.

[ She scrunches up her face, realizing she's gone off topic. She clears her throat. ]

That's not the point, though. The POINT, is that Vicks is being a CHILD and calling ME a CHILD which is RIDICULOSITY since HE is the one who is refusing to have a rational conversation with me. So yeah, fine, if you are going to be an IDIOT CHILD about this then I will be my usual energetic, crazy, flirty self! SO THERE.

[ The sound of a phone buzzing on the nightstand can be heard. ]

Hold on, got a text.

[ Lydia leans back to reach for her phone, and starts unlocking and tapping and clicking, and making faces as she reads. She looks up, making a particularly disgusted face at the camera. ]

UGH!!!!

[ She reaches for the camera, and the feed ends. ]

Hey Conrad! Thanks SO MUCH for calling the cops on my girlfriend last night! I know she outweighs you by about 20 pounds (not calling her fat, calling you pitifully skinny) but that was SERIOUSLY the only way you know how to handle a drunk customer? In a bar?? It never occurred to you to call your friend ie me who was there earlier, and could come back and get her if it saved him the bail money of BUSTING HER OUT OF JAIL. What the hell!

Messed up. Maybe I'll take my business to Lau's. Also why do you have so many pinche guys at your bar??

Who: Shinji, and his rescue party - Kaworu, Souji, Koizumi, Stephanie Brown & Aisling, featuring Homura and Tim Drake.
What: Attempting to rescue Shinji from his own issues. Also, from the dungeon.
When: Sometime before the night of June 22th.
Where: TV world
Why: Because Shinji is less a person and more a mountain of issues with a personality and it would be nice if he could work on some of them!!

Note: I shamelessly stole this format from Vriska's rescue log because it is great. So yeah, below you will find a quick summary of the dungeon, of Shinji's shadow, of the confrontation with it, and of the way team members fight/are affected. NOT A LOT OF DETAIL ABOUT DAMAGES/SOME PPL ARE MISSING but that can/will prob be edited later! Also very long, so... you can skip if you want.

Hey, guys! We need to get together ♥ I wanna know what you've been finding out about this place, and besides, there's a re-e-eally good coffee shop downtown.

Thank you for the demonstration yesterday, Simca. It was very enlightening.

Along the same lines of demonstrating—

I have decided to provide lessons to those who are willing in science and mechanical training. Among other things, of course, but I will start small. If you are interested, please contact me at [phone number] or at notmarvelboy @ nmail.com.

My time as a teacher was enlightening: though I was not myself, the act of teaching others is not difficult, even if I need to limit what knowledge I share.

Beyond that, it has been a truly interesting month here. I hope New Moore will continue to intrigue me.
