[sup, Death City. A new face appears on the network, although there may be something of the deja vu about the helmet with its golden crescent, the mon with its twin sparrows, perhaps even the face, a little. Not the attitude, though - actually, this kid is the polar opposite of laid back cool. Which is to say he's absolutely furious.]

Let's make something clear. I don't know what dumb joke that guy is playing, but there's only one Date Masamune, and that's me - me! The One-Eyed Dragon, the Lord of Oshu, future ruler of all Japan, Date Masamune!

[He thumps his chest just in case any more emphasis is needed.]

Just wait and you'll see what it means to have me around here!

[Yes, he is absolutely serious. You may wish to be kind, but then possibly not.]

The existence of one of those things is more likely than the others to get you, a friend, or a loved one hurt.

[poor guy was so confident a second ago. qilby kind of feels a little sorry for pressing the matter...] Dragons are fiercely protective. Very much so. If you wish to use their name, I hope that's a quality you've taken or will take to heart.

[stfuabouthonor]

[Masamune grits his teeth. This conversation is taking a turn towards places he's less fond of again.]

I don't have anyone to protect here. [Or back home, really, for the matter, but that isn't one's business.]

[dissenter]

Oh, well, neither do I.

But I imagine I'll find a few, once I get to know them.

[stfuabouthonor]

Hmpf. None of them are making a particularly good impression so far.

[Oh like anyone ever does with him.]

[dissenter]

[YEAH... qilby kind of senses that.

he smiles pleasantly.] Only "them?" Am I making a good enough impression on you, then?

[stfuabouthonor]

[Oh gosh, you got him. He glances away just slightly.]

I don't understand you.

[dissenter]

It's my fault; there's little about my people that isn't esoteric. Figures their king should be, as well.

I wish you luck, Lord of Oshu. I'd be interested to hear more about your country later on -- and perhaps I can try and make myself more easily understood, afterwards.
