This is how written message gets sent out to everyone.

[The message may have seemingly came out of nowhere, but it at least had a purpose. It's not much longer later before a young woman's voice can be heard over the network.]

When you press this button, you will broadcast an audio only message, like what I'm doing right now.

You sure we can't just stick to video? I'd rather see who I'm talking to.

Of course we can!

[And within seconds, a pair can be seen on the feed. A girl with pink hair who is waving at her device, and a young man with long dark hair.]

Good day everyone! [She bows her head to the screen, then rises back up.] My name is Estellise. My apologies for the messages showing up like this over the public network. I was simply teaching my friend here how to use the device.

[She turns to him, whispering-] Yuri, you say hello, too!

I don't want to.

[Estelle turns to him, slightly scolding, but still kind.]

Yuri! Please say he--

[Accidentally knocking the device over with her hand as she points to it, the feed ends.]

Life is about being put on the spot and responding! He responded well, and I am glad to see it. You both are already doing well by trying things!

Well, I figured it would be best if we at least tried since these appeared to be a way to communicate with one another if we're not in person.

And it is always best to try! That is a splendid attitude. I am Maito Gai and I am glad to meet you, even not in person. How are you fitting in?

It is a pleasure to meet you Maito! [She smiles, matching the energy that he's giving off before giggling just a little.] For now, I'm fitting in rather fine, and it's being made easier thanks to having Yuri with me.

Please call me Gai! It is always easier when there is someone you know with you. I arrived with my Eternal Rival and am glad of it.

Gai? Do you prefer to be called by your surname, then? I apologize for my rudeness if that is the case.

[A beat.]

Your... Eternal Rival?

Oh, no! I am sorry. Gai is my personal name. Maito is my family name. Sometimes the name order is different from what I am used to. I apologize for the confusion.

[He nods happily.]

Hatake Kakashi. He is my Meister here, and back home we challenge each other to constantly improve!

Oh, my apologies. I've just never heard someone give their name in that order that I was honestly confused. However, there's no need to apologize. Thank you for your clarification!

[And she thinks over this 'rival' thing and smiles.]

So are you two friends at the same time you're rivals?

It is fine! There are several here who put the personal name first, and several who put the personal name last.

[Gai nods again.]

I have known him for most of my life, and he is my closest friend.

I'm jealous that you had someone like that. It must be an amazing friendship!

[To be rivals yet friends - it kind of reminds her of Yuri and Flynn.]

You do not have to be jealous! You can find someone and challenge them as well! And it is the best friendship I have ever had.

Perhaps I will have to find someone like that. Someone who can challenge me, and I can challenge as well!

I am certain that you can! And then you will be blessed as I am blessed!

[She nods, now looking determined.]

That will be my goal while here! To find someone like that, for someone to be my rival and my friend!

It is an admirable goal and I wish you luck in it! Though I will also be your friend, if you would like! There is no room in my life for another rival, but I enjoy having more friends!

Of course. I would be more than happy to have you as a friend! Thank you so much!

You are very welcome, and thank you back! I enjoy making new friends!
