[muffled old timey radio noises] time for an advice column
Name: Momo
Date: March 5th
Format:audio radio!
[After the expedition last month wrapped up, in the next few days, radio listeners of Aefenglom may have noticed a newcomer to the airwaves. Despite being a fresh voice, there's an air of experience to how he takes his programs, upbeat and cheerful but professional, talking with other hosts and guests and drawing out the interesting and comedic things about them for a good fun show.
And now he's here to get some talk show comedy out of the locals and Mirrorbound, wrapping up an informative little segment about local music to transition into that most loved and dreaded of call-in shows--
--the advice column.]
...Now we're back to just Momo, and you know, I've been in a real bind since I got here last month...I had all these juniors running around to give advice to, and now I've come to another world all fresh and inexperienced, my advisory skills as a weathered old-timer are getting rusty! [He's...26...] I've got to keep that stuff sharp like any good mother does, so if you need advice or a sounding board on anything that doesn't need me to know the deepest lores of this place, call in - or send a text in if you're shy, anons welcome too - and I'll help you out with it! Maybe someone else is having the same worries as you, so everyone benefits, you know? Send your daily quandaries, your work problems, your sordid love triangle stories...though not too sordid, we're still on daytime radio!
If you've got a question I can't answer, like monster or magic problems or something, then I'll put that to the audience and maybe we'll get some interesting answers from them, too! But whether we're talking it out or I'm reading it out for the audience, I'm sure we can solve some people's problems today. Even the weird ones. [Read: he welcomes the possibility of outright silly and questionably true responses.
The watch connection he gives for the calls isn't his own device, but rather one the radio station owns, because he's not here to tango with questionable calls after the show is over. He does enough of that at home. As for the texts, he puts up a post for those alongside the opening of the segment, so he'll both be talking and texting in response to those (and non-radio listeners can spot it even if they weren't listening to the segment).]
[[Tag-ins will be presumed as chronological, e.g. the first tag-in would be the first call/message and so on, so reacting to stuff from before your character sends their response is valid. Any question Momo puts to the audience will be open to threadjacking from when he does.]]

I think if it were possible here without endangering a lot of people, someone would have found a way. People are most creative when they're trying to solve a problem, right? Not everyone enjoys being around people, and I'm sure there are people this is like a slap in the face for compared to their own worlds.
[There's a lighter twist to that take on it, still suitably respectful of the topic but an attempt to lighten the mood from the initial question. Even if that very last bit is somewhat sympathetic, because he's thinking that the slap in the face part probably applies to Xichen given how this conversation has gone.]
no subject
[Emotions are so intimate. He does laugh a little, realizing how that sounds.]
I suppose I had already committed to my own ideas of what should be done. How I should live my life seems to be a question I find harder to answer with the state of things. Am I in need of someone's creativity, perhaps?
[Maybe that is the point of him coming there after all.]
no subject
Well, Momo-chan likes to think he has a creative brain, so I'm happy to help with that if you think you need it. I respect that you've made choices and it sounds like you've stuck to them, but at the same time, this is a completely different world of completely different things and people, and positions we're in. Our expectations and responsibilities are only the same as anyone else who's come to this world in the same way. I think if there's a time to experiment, to wonder if there are other ways to live, it's right here and now.
[There's a certain optimism to that, as with much of what Momo says. He's not as naive as some of the things he says make him seem, but that's the face he feels he needs to put up for people in these kinds of situations. An idol is a guiding light of sorts, after all.]
no subject
Experiment? Yes... I suppose that is a good point. We should try to learn from this place in whatever ways it wishes to teach us. I will at least try to listen.
[Even if he still has a cold feeling every time he thinks about bonding. He can at least try to be more open to new things, right?]
Thank you. You have been helpful and patient with this stubborn child.
no subject
[People will hold on to what they know, which he feels is natural enough.] Anything else you want to ask before I take the next caller? I'm sure this'll give people plenty to think about already.

[He'll end the call on that, since it seems a fitting place to wrap things up for the next caller.]
