Uu-! Hi everyone..! Today Maria and Beato have a question for everyone!

[ Maria is practically as cheery as ever when she waves at the camera - except she's not alone right now, there's someone sitting there with her, and she turns to that person with a smile as if urging her to speak on.

Beato waves too, as excited about this as ~~HER TINY ONEESAN~~ Maria. ]

We thought of this some days ago, while watching the people in the tea house. You all come from very diferent places, are we wrong? I can only imagine how many wonderful stories you all have!

And so we want to hear e-verything about you and your world! [ she's just fistpumping here now, look at all this double excitement. ] Uu-, so everyone, please tell us your stories, okay? Beato and Maria re-ally want to know!

We'll be waiting! Thank you so much!

( ooc: replies will come from both Maria and Beato (

fathersbeloved) and will be a bit delayed (especially on my side, since I'm going to bed right now and will get to them tomorrow)! )

Could it be a story you treasure from the place you come from?

Oh, that one's easy! The story about how I met Mister J.

[Complete with dreamy flashback expression. She's gonna be lost in her own little world for a bit.]

I was a doctor at this place called Arkham. He was one a' the patients. Everyone thought he was a bad guy, but we talked a LOT an' I could tell he was just hurting, and wanted to make people laugh the way he did.

So one day I quit, an' took Mister J away from there, an' we been together ever since.

[Completely unbiased and unabridged. Really.]

[SUCH A CUTE STORY!]

And have you made people laugh...?

Oh, lotsa people! Course, there's also a lotta people who don't really get th' joke. 'Specially this one guy. ...He can be pretty scary, really.

[A moment of uncomfortable silence, teetering on the edge of self-awareness.]

But I know we still make things a lot more interesting for him, at least.

As long as you do your best it will be fine! I'm sure most people enjoy laughing and having fun!

You'll make that person laugh too, so don't give up!

...Actually, I did hear 'im laugh once, not too long before I got here.

[She leans in, whispering.]

It made him EVEN CREEPIER.

[O-oh dear. She covers her mouth, leans closer to the gear too.]

What kind of person is that person...?

I think he's some kinda ninja. Pops right outta nowhere ALL THE TIME.

[She shifts from scared to annoyed. Not like Batman's in Johto, after all.]

Always tryin' to ruin Mister J's fun, too.

...what's a "ninja"?

[She's heard the word before, but never had the chance to ask...]

Oh, a ninja's a guy that dresses all in black and can, like, appear straight outta th' shadows.

This guy dressed up like a big bat. ...Y'ask me, he had some serious mental health issues.

Oh... he does sound scary. Why would anyone dress as a bat and appear from the shadows...?

M-maybe he was a bad witch!
