[Have a stern looking face just staring into the camera for a long moment.]

If this pamphlet is to be believed, and I am indeed nowhere I would recognize, I must ascertain one thing above all else.

Are there any agents of G Corp here? And does the Mishima name carry any kind of weight?

Comments

[suparna]

Never heard of the Mishima name, so I would say it carries no sort of weight at all here.

[devil_within]

[There's a sort of smirk that forms on his face for half a moment. A place devoid of the Mishima influence? Good. If nothing else, that means he doesn't have to deal with his father, or the company his son helms.]

You don't seem to have any strong emotions connected to the name, nor do you seem to be feigning ignorance so I'm inclined to believe you. Still, it's hard to believe. The Mishima name has become rather infamous as late.


[Thanks in no small part to himself.]

What's a G Corp? That sounds like something involving bling.

video;

[devil_within]

It's a genetic research and development corporation that I head.

video;

[tenminutes]

That sounds like an evil corporation from a tv show if I've ever heard of one. Do you have an evil laugh? A white cat?

video;

[devil_within]

...No. I don't.

[He's got a hell of an evil smirk though.]

[OOC: WOW I did not get these notifs... O.o]

[tenminutes]

Well, that dispels that theory then.

[ Not really, but it's not like she's got evidence for either side and she'd rather give anyone the benefit of the doubt after she's done being silly. ]

I'm Yuri!

[magicianofwords]

Really frustrating isn't it? Being away from our friends and family, yeah. I'm sorry I haven't heard either of them.

video;

[devil_within]

That's quite alright. In fact it's rather liberating to be free of my family. My father is the epitome of all that is wrong with humanity.

video;

[magicianofwords]

Really-?

That's intense man.

video;

[devil_within]

[He pans the camera down some to reveal he is both shirtless, and covered in scars, one massive one covering the majority of his chest.]

When I was five, I did not live up to his impossible standards. So he threw me off a cliff, and impaled me on a rock.

video;

[magicianofwords]

Eeeeehh?

[ He'll whistle at those wounds in awe. ]

That's some work, man there no child protection people where you live? That's just wrong!

video;

[devil_within]

Considering he built and runs the world's largest weapons manufacturing conglomerates, and built a private army that could dwarf most nations?

Good luck getting a social worker past the front gate intact.

[He makes a mental note that the boy didn't ask how a 5 year old survived being thrown off a cliff having a rock shoved through his chest.]

video;

[magicianofwords]

...I see. That just spells trouble right there. I mean throwing your child is one thing, but over a cliff? That's just crazy!

video;

[devil_within]

...You really don't need to be telling me that.

video;

[magicianofwords]

Ah, sorry man.

video;

[cadet]

That's a no to both, I'm afraid.

video;

[devil_within]

So a half victory then.

[There's a beat as he takes in the skin color and arches an eyebrow. Automatically, his mind wanders to the experiments Dr. Abel produced.]

Forgive me if I seem insulting, however, I have to ask. Why is your skin green?

video;

[cadet]

[ her green skin marked her as something other than human wherever she went, whether it was the academy or whatever ship she was assigned to where her people's reputation meant she had to prove herself at every twist and turn, or this place where people assumed she was fae or the victim of a freak accident. she isn't used to not being recognized as an orion. it ought to be refreshing, but the novelty of species anonymity wore off quickly. ]

No forgiveness needed, I actually appreciate the direct approach. I'm Orion — not human, from another planet. Not this planet. I was abducted here, just like everyone else.

video;

[devil_within]

An alien.

[He doesn't seem too surprised really. ...Though he can't help but think how his self-styled rival would react after declaring himself "strongest in the universe"...]

Interesting. As for not being human, it's overrated, believe me.

video;

[cadet]

I prefer Orion. It's unfair that humans get to call those of us not from Earth aliens when to us, you're the aliens.

[ at least he isn't freaking out or insinuating that she's bad or evil, just because she's not of the earth they ought to all be on. ]

Is it? Why do you say that?

video;

[devil_within]

Fair enough.

I say that because they corrupt and pervert all that they touch. There has only been one human to ever live that was set aside from such corruption, and she was rewarded with pain and death.

[...He stops for a second, mind drifting to the reports on Ogre after he supposedly killed Jun. ...And then something clicks in his mind.]

By your talk of Earth and humans as aliens, I'm going to assume that your people have the capacity for interstellar space travel. How long have they had this capacity?

video;

[cadet]

An interesting outlook on the species. Don't think I've encountered someone who views humans in that light before.

[ usually it's her own kind being called corrupt — though in all fairness, there are large sections of it that are. the orion syndicate doesn't exactly give the minimal rest of the species a good name when they're the ones making a bigger name for themselves. it meant she had to fight tooth and nail that first year at the academy to prove she wasn't just some syndicate brat or slave girl in disguise. ]

A few centuries.

video;

[devil_within]

I've encountered every example of humanity's evils within my own family.

[He pauses for a second.]

Are there any records of a lone warrior coming to Earth around the earliest of your race's years after achieving it?

[OOC: WOW I did not get these notifs... O.o]

[cadet]

I'm an engineer, not a historian.

Video

[rules_winter]

Forget all you have known. It is time to begin anew.

No matter how irritating it may be.

Video

[devil_within]

Irritating? You misunderstand me. Beginning from nothing is what I've been working toward all my life. If this place truly is separate from the world I knew, then perhaps it is free of the corruption and greed that defined my world.

Video

[rules_winter]

There are humans here still.

[She thinks that explains perfectly that there is still greed and corruption.]

Video

[devil_within]

Humans are fragile, easily broken and molded. With the absence of forces like the Mishima Zaibatsu, half the battle is done for me.

Video

[rules_winter]

Yes. [Her smile is amused. Because that is what she does.]

And how do you know there isn't something else that will do just as well in this new place?

Video

[devil_within]

If there is, I will continue to break and burn until this world is purged of that corruption as well.

Video

[rules_winter]

Breaking and burning, I was under the impression Hero's were supposed to take a more peaceful route when possible.

Video

[devil_within]

Who said anything about being a hero?

Video

[rules_winter]

What other reason is there to fight with such vigor against corruption and greed?

Video

[devil_within]

The same reason all life exists; self interest. I realize that my own cause is one of greed, but I don't care. I will create this world, and there's few that can stand before me, and none are here.

Video

[rules_winter]

Humans are very interesting creatures. I shall very much enjoy watching your efforts.

And what is it that you do that will help you destroy your enemies, which makes you so very special?

Video

[devil_within]

I'm not human.

[As if to emphasize his point, his left eye shines brightly for an instant.]

Video

[rules_winter]

[And now you have her attention. She leans closer to the camera and tries to determine what he is with nothing outside digital visualization to make such a determination. He certainly doesn't look goblin though the scars speak of a fighter. He is far too symmetrical. Not an Angel, fallen or otherwise. Perhaps demon, though she has rarely seen one that looks quite so human unless they are possessing a person.]

And what might you be?

Video

[devil_within]

A force of nature.

Video

[rules_winter]

Which one?

Video

[devil_within]

Power.

[OOC: WOW I did not get these notifs... O.o]

Video

[rules_winter]

[She clearly does not consider that a force of nature in the same way winter and summer are, as each one also holds a measure of power, but he seems pleased enough with the thought.]

Hmm, it will be interesting seeing you work.

[virgochains]

[Have a rather extreme close-up of an eye, suddenly pulled back to show the petite maid in what appears to be a place full of books.]

I have never come across that guild or family name before and Princess has never mentioned them to me. Are they intended to be significant?

[devil_within]

[Kazuya just arches an eyebrow for a moment. Guild? Princess? This would warrant further investigation once he ran out of things to do.]

G Corp is the corporation I run, and the Mishima my family name. Where I'm from, there is not a household in the world who has not heard of the Mishima family, for good or bad.

[virgochains]

[She just stares at the camera dot for a few moments as she ponders this and then shakes her head.]

I regret to inform you that you are not where you were originally, sir. It seems to be true with any who would contact you with this odd device.

[devil_within]

[Have a small smirk.]

Then I truly am free of them. I admit, it is a strange concept, despite trying most of my life to achieve...

[virgochains]

Congratulations.
