[Action/Video]

[lobstersamurai]

[A man clad in samurai-style armor is on the screen with a neutral expression on his face, looking around and taking in his surroundings as he walks around. He lets out a sigh before stopping and turning back to the screen with a sigh.]

So, it appears that I am no longer in my world, but rather in a completely new one. I suppose I should introduce myself. I am Ryoma, the ruling monarch of Hoshido. And I am of need of answers.

[He then pauses, as if he thinking about what else to say.]

Also, I am wondering if anyone has seen my family or my retainers?

[youfool]

No, sorry, none that I've seen. Are you a warrior, by chance? What weapon? What style? Tell me of your greatest battle. Tell--

Ah, apologies, you wanted answers. I'll be happy to give what I can! But I'll need questions first.

[lobstersamurai]

...Very well. What questions do you wish to ask of me?

[Ryoma crosses his arms.]

[youfool]

Eh-ahah! No, I mean, questions from you. That way I can narrow it down, and avoid chatting your ear off.

[lobstersamurai]

Hmm. Well then, who are you and where am I?

[shy_mage]

S-Sorry, that doesn't sound... it doesn't sound familiar to me.

B-But your armor looks g-great.

[It looked like some high quality gear for a fierce warrior.]

[lobstersamurai]

You have my thanks for the compliment.

[Ryoma nods.]

May I have your name?

[shy_mage]

S-Sorry!

I'm B-Bracken.

[lobstersamurai]

Well met, Bracken. Tell me, how long have you been here?

[Video????? action eventually probably I'm not going to lie]

[debtpaid]

WOAH, PRINCE RYOMA?! Hey! It's me, Kaden!!

[Surely Ryoma recognizes the Kitsune with the most plush fur this side of ever!!! He seems pleased with himself.]

Good news, Sakura is here too! And Prince Xander as well but I only talked to him once.

[lobstersamurai]

I see. It is nice to see you, Kaden.

[Indeed he does, considering Kaden wasn't exactly subtle about his appearance.]

And I am glad to hear that one of my family is here. But I never expected Prince Xander to be here as well.

[debtpaid]

It's pretty great isn't it? We're getting more allies by the day! It's especially awesome that you're here because I know Sakura's going to be excited. She was really upset about being separated from everyone.

[Kaden talks a lot. Sorry Ryoma.]

[lobstersamurai]

Yes, I can understand how she feels. Is she well?

[quietstrength]

[ despite watching the network every day on the off chance one of her siblings might show up, sakura is still so surprised when she sees her brother's face that she actually drops the phone and squeaks. fumbling to pick it up afterward, the screen shakes and eventually focuses on sakura, her eyes wide. ]

Ryoma...!

[lobstersamurai]

...Sakura. You're here as well.

[Ryoma allows himself a small smile to grace upon his face at the sight of his little sister.]

How have you been?

[quietstrength]

[ relief washes over her, evident in her face as she seems to light up. ]

Considering the circumstances, I've been alright. I'm glad you're here, though.

[lobstersamurai]

And I am relieved to see you here as well.

[Ryoma nods; he couldn't wait to go to her side soon enough.]

Action

[tsukihito]

[A curious pair of crimson eyes watches as the armor-clad warrior paces about. From ontop of these tall branches, Tsukihito could see far into the distance and a little beyond that.

The telltale sound of metal clanking together gave away this samurai's position rather easily to the kitsune. While Tsukihito isn't remotely afraid of the samurai, he desires to stay clear of his blade just for the sake of caution if nothing else. Men can be particularly violent, especially towards the supernatural.

This is why he lingers here within this willowy tree trying to blend in with the shadows. He's spying on the warrior for now, his gaze focused upon the odd device he carries

That strange contraption matches his own. It's no doubt a gift they both received with that submerged cave...]

[lobstersamurai]

[The armored warrior lets out a sigh as he looks around, curious about his surroundings. He spots a nearby tree and walks over it, eager to have somewhere to rest his body. Although he does have a nagging feeling that something or someone is watching him.]

[tsukihito]

[It becomes even more apparent once this warrior comes close that this man isn't native to this land. Tsukihito could tell that much given how uneasy the warrior seems. That's the same uneasiness that claims the kitsune now but he won't ever admit to it.

He eases down to the next branch quietly until accidentally snapping a twig during his descent. Tsukihito's ears go flat against his head in mild annoyance.

The kitsune is usually more graceful than this.]

[thelastdruid]

[Nathan shakes his head as the video initializes.]

Sorry, uh...Your Highness? I haven't seen anybody looking for you.

[Which is the only way he can figure he'd know if he'd seen those people.]

I've been here a while, so I'll do my best. What questions do you need answered?

[lobstersamurai]

For one thing, where exactly am I is a good start.

[thelastdruid]

Uh, well...the city's called Genessia. Other than that, no one really knows where we are. I don't think it's Earth, though.

[Video]

[blackparagon]

[Well. This was a surprise. Xander can't help but feel a familiar jolt course through his body when he sees his former nemesis. In fact, he doesn't respond immediately, instead taking a moment to collect himself so he can address Ryoma properly. So, when he does appear, he looks perfectly calm.]

Well met, Prince Ryoma. It appears the same fate has befallen both of us now. I'm afraid I can't be of much help myself, but I can at least direct you somewhere that can.

[lobstersamurai]

Prince Xander?

[Ryoma has a moment of surprise on his face, but it passes as he adopts a more neutral expression.]

So, you too have been spirited away here as well. At least I am with familiar company, I suppose.

[blackparagon]

[Xander gives Ryoma a nod.]

Indeed. That being said, Princess Sakura is here, as well. As is the kitsune, so there's four of us total.
