[After several minutes of confusion, Rudolph was given a cursory instruction on how to use his phone, after some misdials he manages to get a line open]

Ah, Hello - am I doing this corrctly? Ah, good.

I'm Rudolph Van Richten... and that is all that I know, meaning I'm in the same ship as everyone else. Is there anything I need to be caught up on event-wise?

[He can be seen running his fingers over the buttons curiously - for the moment the screen goes black]

Not unless you count the moon falling on the place. Or at least a gigantic goddamn New Years Ball we THOUGHT was the moon. This place is really freaking annoying sometimes.

[shineslightintodarkness]

...The moon falling?

[Oh the screen turns on again as Rudolph realizes what he hit to turn it off in the first place]

How did they make a ball look so realistic that people confused it for the moon?

[Or how did anyone fell for it? He asked himself]

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

Weeeell, you kinda had to be there for it.

[shineslightintodarkness]

I presume so. So I expect this place to be a strange one then.

[He gave a wry grin at that]

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

To say the least! It's not too bad most of the time, though. A little empty of people outside of the city walls, though.

[shineslightintodarkness]

I believe the people at the lab mention as such. It is quite puzzling, though...

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

I guess so, isn't it? But it happened a hell of a long time ago, so what can you do?

Name's Kotetsu, by the way. Kotetsu T. Kaburagi. And trust me, remembering ALL of my name is a nice thing.

[shineslightintodarkness]

...ko-te-shu.

[Van Richten slowly sounds it out, then corrects himself]

Well perhaps see what happened to those people.

Hi there! My name's Rosalia. Um...something happened with the moon a while ago, and before that some anemoi fell with the snow! I think that's most of what's happened lately.

Re: [Video]

[shineslightintodarkness]

Nice to meet you Ms. Rosalia.

I heard a brief summary of the moon, and it's a little baffling for me.

[Video]

[healeveryone]

Yeah, I can see why. I guess what happened was better than the moon actually falling, though! So that's good, at least.

Re: [Video]

[shineslightintodarkness]

I will concede that point.

[healeveryone]

It was a relief to find out nothing bad was going to happen after all, even if it was confusing...but anyway, welcome to Sirocco! Have you gotten to move in yet?

[stinglikeabat]

Have you heard about the moon?

[shineslightintodarkness]

Indeed I have, I admit I found it strange someone could confuse a 'new years ball' with the moon.

[stinglikeabat]

It was bigger than the town! What else could it have been?

[shineslightintodarkness]

...It was that large?

[stinglikeabat]

Even larger!

[shineslightintodarkness]

[He stares at Joachim a little flabbergasted]

[stinglikeabat]

Then there's that train that keeps showing up. I wouldn't turn my back on it if I were you.

[shineslightintodarkness]

...what a train?

[stinglikeabat]

Well, not exactly. It has a face. But the rest of it looks like a train.
