Jan. 27 - evening - video

[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.]

[sarcastically] No, we scream and wave all of our six swords at them with all of our six hands.

[and now, a more serious answer] You arrived in the Kishin Chamber did you not? Would you call that rag-tag bunch of people who came with you an army?

[stfuabouthonor]

Argh! Don't compare me to that crazy guy! [Six swords really WTF.]

Any army starts with a ragtag bunch of people. A commander who knows what he's doing is just what they need!

[histrionicflair]

And you're a commander? Is that it?

[ Excuse the sarcasm, Date. Feel free to prove her wrong. ]

[stfuabouthonor]

That's exactly what I am.

[He tilts his head up a little and just for a moment, just for this one second, actually looks it.]

[histrionicflair]

[For that moment, and just that moment, Franziska was convinced. That moment is over, but it at least convinced her to give him the benefit of the doubt.]

What makes you a capable commander?
