[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?

Comments

[Video]

[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?

[youfool]

I am Ted, and you're in Genessia, Genessia City, and The Bay, going by world, area, and location, respectively.

[Easy stuff! He's gonna look like a genius at this rate.]

[lobstersamurai]

[Ryoma raises a brow.]

I see. And what kind of place is this Genessia?

[youfool]

[Describing the world, huh? Talk about big questions. He took a moment.]

...A thieving one.

[lobstersamurai]

A thieving one? You mean to say that it takes people from their own realms and places them into here?

[Ryoma narrows his eyes. He didn't expect something like this.]

Video

[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.]

[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]

You have my thanks for the compliment.

[Ryoma nods.]

May I have your name?

[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.

[ 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?

[youfool]

Certainly what it feels like, eh? That or merely recreates them wholesale, being none too keen on originality. No one's entirely sure which, though most favor your interpretation. It also has a habit of taking once you're in it, too. People you thought you had sometimes vanish without a trace. Even death is not so much a last farewell as a debt to be repaid with some personal sacrifice.

[shy_mage]

S-Sorry!

I'm B-Bracken.

[lobstersamurai]

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

[lobstersamurai]

[Ryoma lets out a soft growl before replying.]

So you say. Does anyone mind living here, then?

[youfool]

I think everyone puts their mind to it, to some degree. Even the stupidest aren't completely mindless of the world.

[shy_mage]

[He thought about it for a moment before answering somewhat confidently.]

O-One month.

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...]

[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.]

[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.]

[lobstersamurai]

I have no doubts about that. I should find somewhere to rest, though. Staying in a bay is not an ideal place to be.
