[ the feed turns on to reveal Orca, who is awkwardly trying to position the camera properly. it looks like he's outside, judging from the view of the sky. ]

Ehhm, it's on, right?

[ he clears his throat, into his too-long sleeve, and gives a big, toothy smile. ]

Hi! I'm Vercingetorix! They call me Orca, though. [ pause. ahh, what else was he going to say ..

oh whatever, he's bad at this stuff anyway, so: cutting to the point. ]

I'm looking for people to be my friends! There's a lotta people in this city, there's gotta be someone who'll be my friend, right? [ hopeful smile!! ] And there's gotta be people who are strong, right~!

Oh, and Agito's not allowed, 'cuz I don't have enough patience yet. [ nod. ]

You—getting money and stuff okay?

[whirling]

Money? [ headtilt ] The colored coins?

I saw 'em, but I don't really get 'em. What do the colors mean?

[errandry]

What, you don't know about currency? Seriously They oughta have numbers printed on 'em somewhere, too!

[whirling]

I don't have any of it, so I can't see it anyway!

[errandry]

You know you've got an account for stuff, right?

[whirling]

I do? Can I buy toys with the money in my account?

[errandry]

Prrrobably? You've still gotta pay rent and all that, though!

[whirling]

Rent?

For what?
