[ The video starts off with Ursula sitting on the sofa in her apartment. She's sitting by herself, wrapped in the sari that Fang had given her some time back. On her neck was a new pendant she had not yet been seen wearing before, the sparkling symbol showing off the union of the Ursa Major and Southern Cross asterisms. On her hand, placed over her wine glass, is a new ring.

Those were probably important.

She took in a deep breath and let out a small, anxious laugh, giving a small wave. ]

So... a few things.

Firstly, my duties at the refugee and orphan schools I preside over are going to be, at least for time being, are being turned over to some friends I have in the Coven who've graciously volunteered to take up those duties because...

I am about to be a little busy.

[ Another deep breath. She holds it for a moment, her eyes hardly able to focus on the camera, but... Okay, she can still manage this. ]

I'm... getting married.

Here, I mean. To three people, actually, which is still something I feel like I'm just flying blind into, but Aefenglom is just like that, I suppose... ha ha...

[ Good lord, she was nervous. ]

To my bonded, Kaede, as well as to my significant others Ozymandias and Croix. Everyone is on board with this and I'm currently working out the finer details.

I-I'll have a date announced soon! It will be this month, at least...

[ She pauses for another moment, quickly finishing off the glass in her wine... then reaching to refill it, and then finishing off that glass. ]

And also... I'm officially changing the records here for my name.

You see, if you met, and knew me, under the name Ursula Callistis, well... that's not my real name.

[ Her therapist had guided her through this process. In the end, it was probably well more important, on a lot of levels, than even announcing her engagement(s). She took another breath. ]

My name is Chariot du Nord. That's my real name, the one my mother gave me. If you want to know why I kept a false name all this time... I'll be happy to give you the story.

So... I am Chariot du Nord, and I'm marrying the three people I love most in this world...

[ She can't help another laugh, this one so much more energetic, and just... stretching her smile as wide as it could go. Well. That was one thing out of the way. ]
