[Hey, look, it's Adrien. He's avoided the communicators while the weird memory stuff was going on, and there's still an awkwardness about him as his face appears on the screen. People know some of his deepest secrets now, and he's not sure how to process that.

Still, this is something he's not about to let slip by. It feels important.]

So...hi, everyone. Adrien here. Obviously.

[Okay, so he's still trying to deal with some people knowing he's not just Adrien. He'll just be nervous about that for a while. Don' mind him.]

Anyway, I realised that it was a whole year ago yesterday that I came here. So I guess that's something important, huh? I didn't even realise that much time has passed, I guess I like it here enough that the time just flew by.

...So yeah. Just thought that was something good to announce. I'm...actually really glad to have met you guys, to have the chance to live here.

[This place has given him more freedom to be himself than he could ever truly explain.]

What I mean is...thank you! For being so welcoming, for making this such a nice place to live. I'm grateful.

Congratulations.

[On making it in Keelai a whole year. Not that it was so hard these days; Midii could still remember her first Keelai-versary. It seemed so long ago now.]

A whole year, huh? Maybe we should find a cake or something.

[Valdis looks a bit tired, but she smiles warmly]

We enjoy having you here, Adrien.

[purrns]

Thank you! I'm amazed so much time has passed already.

[Thanks, mostly, to actually being happy here, he'd bet. ]

[purrns]

...You know, I could absolutely eat a cake right now.

[A WHOLE cake. ]

Re: Video

[schrodingersghost]

You know what? I'm done with work for the day. I'll go see if I can find one. What's your favorite kind?

[He returns the smile, it's genuine and happy. ]

Thank you. I feel really lucky to have you guys.

[purrns]

Wow, really? Thanks, man!

[You're the BEST, Danny!!! ]

I like just about any. Um. Something with red icing maybe?

Re: Video

[schrodingersghost]

Hey, no prob.

Chocolate cake with red icing it is, then.

[redlightgreenlight]

I know that feeling.

The first year does seem to go by so fast. I could never figure out why that is. Maybe because of the denial or the fact that this place feels so much like a dream, you're spending all that time waiting to wake up.

[She might be projecting a bit here.]

[purrns]

You are actuallt the best, you know that?

video

[purrns]

...I don't know. I'm honestly really enjoying it here. Maybe it is that. It feels too good to be true, sometimes.

[purrns]

I mean, if I'm getting kidnapped into another world, I'm kinda glad it's this one.

[She cracked a partial smile, and though her next words weren't a lie, they did come with a hint of teasing tone to them.]

Maybe it's because the rest of us who were here before did all the hard work.

Re: Video

[schrodingersghost]

Hey, if I knew all I needed to do to be the next was to bring the junk food, I would have done that ages ago.

[redlightgreenlight]

Me too. Keeliai is far from perfect, but I do like it here. And I like the people who are here with me.

[Minus China of course]

[purrns]

Yeah. It's a nice place to make a new life for yourself.

[China's just WEIRD :| ]

[purrns]

Trust me, when you have a balanced diet back home, the ability to eat junk food suddenly becomes magical.

[Never be a model, Danny, it's the worst. ]

[purrns]

[He can absolutely live with a teasing tone. ]

You know, that's probably it. Maybe we should name a public holiday after you guys?

[redlightgreenlight]

It is...

[And, yes, she is.]

Re: Video

[schrodingersghost]

A balanced diet? Sounds terrible. Just please don't tell me you're an ultra-recyclo vegetarian.

[unetrustworthy]

[Teasing tone aside, Midii actually paused long enough to wrinkle her nose slightly at the thought.]

No, that's too much.

Just a 'thank you' every once in a while will do.

Video

[purrns]

Nope. I'm just used to being allowed to eat only uh- healthy low-fat stuff. Model food.

[And, carefully, because Nino thinks this is a SERIOUS THING and should be treated with MUCH GRAVITY. ]

I've never eaten a Mc Donalds in my entire life.

[purrns]

Then, on behalf of everyone in Keelai...

[He gives a little mock bow to the camera. ]

Thank you.
