Ellipsa's Online Network

[ We interrupt your feed scrolling with a quick little video from one (1) Kamisato Ayaka. she bows her head before doing a shy little wave, and then she begins with her announcement. ]

Good day, everyone. I hope you're all doing well.

It has almost been a year since people from otherworlds found themselves in Ellipsa. Time does fly, doesn't it?

While I am sure there are others who have already gone home, or found themselves elsewhere, there are also those who are like me, and have been here since the beginning.

Some time last year, we had a little gathering of sorts— an Arts Festival, where people from different worlds came together to celebrate creativity and emotion through song, dance, theatre, and other forms of self-expression.

I'd like to announce that with the support of various businesses and individuals in the city, we are able to hold another one this year.

Please do let me know if you would like to help as an organiser, or if you would like your group or yourself to perform, host, or even have your own stall for your food business or other sort of business. I will definitely do my best to accommodate you all.

While more details will come in the near future, I am already announcing a new event for this year's festival— a fighting tournament! Martial arts and mystic arts are also that— art, and I'm hoping to showcase magic and various fighting styles in duel form.

I hope there will be lots of interest, and should there be any questions, you may visit the "website" our sponsors have made for this event.

I'll be happy to answer any other queries you may have that haven't been covered, too.

[ The video is set up rather nicely that it looks more like two news reporters speaking to an audience, rather than an actual video post where the cameras are so close to people's faces. Aether and Ayaka are at the tea house, on a low table, with some tea cups and snacks around them. Ayaka is looking at Aether first, but upon realising that the video's started to record, she looks at the camera and nods. She can do this!! ]

Greetings. My name is Kamisato Ayaka, and with me is my friend, Aether. We are representing the shinrin-yoku to announce an event that will be happening next week.

It has been half a year since otherworlders have begun to gather here in this world. Some of you I have met already, while there are those who remain strangers to one another despite being in the same situation. We, at the shinrin-yoku, will be hosting a little gathering of sorts. Those who have only recently arrived are encouraged to visit the tea house for this, as well as others who wish to get to know other people and make connections.

[ As Ayaka finishes her part, Aether smiles warmly and waves at the camera. ]

The event will include fun games that will help us all get to know one another. Of course, we will be also serving delicious food and tea, so you will definitely find something to enjoy here! Even if you’re shy, don’t worry about anything. We’ll do our best to make sure you feel welcomed and comfortable.

Ah- and so this does not seem like a one-sided announcement, if you are interested in coming, why don't you tell us what your favourite snack is? Or even your favourite kind of tea. Perhaps we may be able to serve it. In any case,

[ Aether presses his hand against his chest. ]

We’ll be looking forward to seeing you all.
