[coolest]

Yo.

[He raises a hand in a jovial fashion.]

Date Masamune.

[And that was his way of introducing himself. Now that was over, Masamune looks at the camera straight on, arms crossed. Time to make his big address to everyone in this city.]

I heard that we're fighting a war here. You guys must be in trouble if you had to drag me here, the One Eyed Dragon of Oshuu!

[There we go, he's steadily getting back into the stride of things. The whole experience in the Kishin Chamber was a bit of a shock even for him, but now that he's out and he's got this amazing communication device, he might as well make full use of it.]

Hah, what a name though. Death City! I would say that it was cool but the sun has a face that smiles. What kind of place called Death City has a sun with a face like that?

[Masamune pronounces 'Death City' in a very pronounced Engrish accent. He looks at the feed expectantly, then realising he isn't going to get a reply immediately, continues talking.]

I'm a meister, whatever that is. Sounds cool though. But I hate the idea of being without a weapon though, especially in a crazy place like this. They may have taken a dragon's claws away, but he can still bite.

[Masamune grins at the camera, trying his best to be jovial at the end of his feed.]

So if any of you transform into swords, let me know. I'm looking for six of them. Okeydokey?

[And it finally clicks off.]

[coolest]

Nope. People keep telling me I've been here before and it's getting old now. I would have remembered this crazy place.

[And some of the people he's encountered over the network seemed kinda crazy too. Like that other guy who keeps trying to insist he's Date Masamune, but was obviously not.]

[incites]

[Another fine and awkward situation this is. It's a difficult and delicate situation to try and explain, especially if this Masamune possesses no knowledge of life in Death City prior to the moment of his new arrival.

The concept of "I come from a world just like yours but different and where I'm from, you're an insufferable child" doesn't always sit well with most people. Kiyomasa may not always be the most intelligent but he knows that much.]

Perhaps Katakura-dono will be able to explain things better than I...

[coolest]

Heh, seems like a lot of people know about Kojuro and I.

[He seems almost proud, the fame of the Double Dragons of Oshuu transcended worlds, it seemed. But this doesn't stop him looking at this person curiously, because he has a feeling like there's more than just "he was here and he doesn't remember it." And he can't quite shake it off.]

[incites]

Even though memory may not serve you well, ff the response to this announcement you've made is any indication, Katakura-dono and yourself are quite well known in this land.

[coolest]

And who are you? It's weird that all these people know who I am and I don't know them.

[He would have finished that with "Feels good." but thought better of it since it wasn't necessarily all good.]

[incites]

My name is Kato Kiyomasa, to my knowledge I do not come from the land you recall yet I too am from Hi no Moto.

[coolest]

Kato Kiyomasa, eh?

[A beat. He's from Hi-no-Moto too?]

Got your own army or what?

[incites]

I have an army that I hold command over though I am little more than a general.

[He pauses a moment.]

Do you truly not recall anything?
