[ 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?

[ That flickering moment of seriousness really reminds her of Sokka. It gives her a homesick pang that she pushes past, and it helps that Junpei goes on to talking her up, which is something Toph sort of appreciates but also finds sort of annoying.

She can do all her aggrandizing herself, thanks. ]

I practice a lot for flying enemies, [ she agrees, actually turning a bit serious herself for a moment. ] And as strong as I am, I'm not unbeatable. There's people here with incredible, crazy powers. I can't afford to get too cocky.

That's why you have a team, right? Bringing backup is smart.
