[The video starts with a close up on Gamagori's face, glaring into the camera. He says nothing for a while, but when he does speak, it's loud enough you could probably mute the feed and still hear him fine.]

Whoever brought me here had better show themselves now! I cannot be away from Honnouji Academy, the Naturals Election is starting tomorrow, and I will not allow Lady Satsuki's faith in me to be broken! Show yourself, and I will not kill you. Prolong this, and I assure you, you will be begging for death by the time I'm done disciplining you!

Still working on the get myself out of here bit, but I'll share some wisdom with you:

[she held up fingers to count off each point as she made it.]

1. Threats aren't going to get you anywhere.
2. There are a whole bunch of us here in the same situation, we all want to go back home.
3. You can get with the program and help with that or you can shut the hell up.
4. The next time you make mention death, you won't get the warning, I take that kinda thing real seriously.

The name is Karrin Murphy and for however long I'm stuck here these people are not going to be screwed with, you got me?

[kiryuin_shield]

[He just stares for a bit. She actually has a demeanor very reminiscent of Satsuki's, but...]

I do not make threats. Simply promises. I do not take death lightly either. However, the severity of this crime is comparable to the punishment. My duty to Lady Satsuki is more important than anything else. The very future of the world hangs in the balance because it. That is the only reason I offered leniency for turning themselves in.

[murph]

And just how well is your duty to this Lady Satsuki going to be served if I show up and kick your ass? I don't want to, you don't want me to, but this place hasn't cowed to people with probably more power than you, chances are they won't bend to you either. And I'll take you down before I let you hurt the people here.

So shelf the threats and violent impulses and lets work on this like rational people, alright?

[kiryuin_shield]

[He scoffs.]

You would try, and fail. I am Lady Satsuki's impenetrable shield. If just anyone could defeat me, I wouldn't be where I am today.

[murph]

Maybe, maybe not. [she shrugged off handedly.]


But a true warrior is never so arrogant as to assume he's already won the fight.

[Christ Murph, you are spouting off like a bad afternoon kung fu movie.]

[kiryuin_shield]

I believe it was you that automatically assumed you were the superior fighter, despite knowing nothing of my powers. That in itself tells me I am the superior warrior.

[murph]

I said 'if', I was giving you a point of reference, something to think about. Starting crap here doesn't help you or get you back where you need to be.

I can hold my own in a fight, but you never know until you are there just what is going to happen. This place is like that, and if you are as good as you say you are then the people here could use that kind of protection way more than you know.

Threadjacking lolololololol

[no_love_potions]

Can you believe this guy?

ROFLMAO

[kiryuin_shield]

[There's now a very large throbbing vein on Ira's forehead.]

THIS IS A PRIVATE CONVERSATION. EAVESDROPPING IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN.

[no_love_potions]

Yeah, no kidding, so butt out, Crewcut.

[Enjoy your new nickname, Ira.]

[kiryuin_shield]

YOU ARE THE ONE INTRUDING HERE! AND MY NAME IS GAMAGORI IRA. LEARN IT.

[no_love_potions]

Be honest, do they just not have indoor voices where you're from?

[kiryuin_shield]

[Harry, you are so getting a whipping if/when they ever meet in person.]

OF COURSE THEY DO!

[no_love_potions]

[Dude, show some respect for local law enforcement.]

Do you have an indoor voice?

[murph]

Hey, over here.

What do you say to the whole peaceful co-existence thing?

[kiryuin_shield]

Give me no reason to react, and I won't. My only concern is bringing the kidnapper that brought me here to justice.

[murph]

And if there is no entity responsible?

[kiryuin_shield]

These sorts of things don't simply happen. Someone is behind it. I know it.

[Or at least he has to believe it. Abstract problem solving is not his thing. Beating things up is more his speed.]

[murph]

And if there isn't? Just think about that for a second, ok? You were brought here..we all were, and we don't know why. Maybe this place needs you, god knows why, but maybe it does.

Don't you think if someplace pulls you from home to a different reality that it's probably pretty damned important?

[murph]

Yeah, reminds me of some stubborn hard headed people I've worked with in the past.

[no_love_potions]

Ouch. Anybody I know?

[murph]

Oh, pretty well.

[no_love_potions]

[**Click**]

Heeeey, wait a minute.

[murph]

Jesus Harry, that took you long enough.

[But there is laughter, so much laughter.]

[no_love_potions]

[There may be a chuckle or two over here as well.]

It's been a long week, okay?
