[All right, Alphys, you can do this. It's just like talking on the phone- no wait she hates talking on the phone.

There's a few deep breaths before she finally addresses everyone.]

U-uhh... heeey? This is Alphys, w-w-with engineering? I was just wondering, uh, if anyone here likes... anime...? I have a whole bunch of DVDs now, s-s-so I was thinking that maybe it'd be fun to have, like, a g-group watch? I-I mean! Unless everybody's really busy getting ready for the next show!

S-so, uh, I'm in trailer 20, if you wanna stop by and pick something out that looks fun to watch? I'm not sure what all I even have right now- it was a REALLY big box of DVDs! So, uhh... okaybye! [CLICK]

[ Well, DVDs are probably not gonna be as good as the original manga, but it is harder to read something with someone than watch something with someone! ]

Hi! I'm Connie! I like anime!

[textsfromhotland]

R-really? Awesome! What's your favorite genre? Mecha? Isekai? Shojo?

[sworntothesword]

Shojo! Although that's actually more of a target demographic than a genre, per say.

[textsfromhotland]

[This.

This is the start of a beautiful friendship.]

Oh em gee. Me too!

[sworntothesword]

[ Verbally pronouncing internet acronyms was silly since each of the words that the letters represented were already one syllable, but Connie was completely used to weird quirks by now. ]

My favorite is Revisionist Girl Yaina! It's a tale of heroism and love, and also it has some really well choreographed and realistic sword fighting!

[textsfromhotland]

[GASP] You've seen Yaina? I love Yaina. I even have a replica of the Sword of Roses! w-well, it's really just a letter opener, but..

[sworntothesword]

Wow, I guess some things are just so great they cross inter-dimensional barriers!

...Unless you're actually from my world, maybe??

[ Connie couldn't immediately come up with a good way to describe her world. Most of it was Boring, and all of the Cool Stuff she'd seen with Steven definitely wasn't known to most of the people in her world. ]

Do you know anything about the Crystal Gems?

[textsfromhotland]

Great art transcends all boundaries.

[There's a pause as she considers the question.] The Crystal whosits? Is that a magical girl show?

[sworntothesword]

No! Well, maybe in another universe.

The Crystal Gems are aliens from another planet that defend the world from other Gems that want to destroy it!

My friend is a Crystal Gem, do you know Steven?

[textsfromhotland]

Whaaaaa-! Those sound like real life magical girls! And your friend is one of them? There's been magical girls here the whole time and nobody's told me!?

[sworntothesword]

Yeah, it's actually pretty insane. They can summon weapons and shapeshift and they have super powers like future vision and energy blasts...

Steven has a pet Lion which can teleport and also he can go inside it's mane and store things and we ride it.
