[ The video starts with a boy in a baseball cap, wearing a bright grin and lifting a hand in greeting. An I-come-in-peace kind of greeting. He's in his bedroom, sitting on his unmade bed and while his room isn't messy per se (he hasn't been here long enough to accumulate a mess), there are a few shirts haphazardly draped over the back of his headboard. ]

S'up, Etraya? The name's Junpei Iori! I'm pretty new here. Still getting the lay of the land and all, but uh...

[ He rubs the back of his neck, glancing past the camera for a moment. ]

My birthday's on the 16th. Which I guess is operation day? So I'm thinking of celebrating early. Anyone wanna maybe...hang?

[ God. That feels so pathetic. Like coming on here and pretty much announcing he's a friendless loser. Junpei quickly pivots: ]

Or I guess you could just give some recommendations of good places to check out and party it up? What place has the best food or where can a guy get a good cake...that kinda thing? Yeah, sure. I can probably go find somewhere on my own, but the best reviews are usually word of mouth!

[ Junpei shifts, palms planted on his knees as he leans forward. ]

Sooo, lay it on me, folks. Where would you spend your sweet seventeen in this place?

I mean, most of the boss battles we fought were at school. Against some of our teachers.

[ A normal thing to say, clearly. Or so Fabian seems to say it, since he's saying it in such a chill, nonchalant way. Like it really is just a regular day of school to him..

In fact, he can't help but ask: ]

Weren't yours like that?

[critpei]

[ Against teachers??? Excuse. ]

No???? What?!

[ He thinks of them all having to go up against Miss Toriumi. The thought's pretty wild. ]

They just taught us math and history and boring shit. You're school is so much cooler! Teaching you the things that actually MATTER, man.

What, like that you can't trust about half of your teachers? [ At least it sounds like he mostly means that in a joking way.

.. even if that is, technically, what school taught him. But he's presenting it as a joke right now! Haha, fighting your teachers is funny, right? It's fun when they turn out to be villains! ]

But-- nah, you're right. I would not want to sit through a class that's all about numbers. Instead I go to dance class! [ He sounds rather proud of this.. Fabian may even be puffing out his chest a little as he says it. ] But if it's so cool, then why don't you just up and move to our world, huh? You could go to Aguefort's too!
