Week 23-Day 5 [video]

[cyberdarkscion]

[What comes into view first is a deer’s hindquarters bouncing across the grass as it flees. What does it flee? Or perhaps the question there should be who. The answer to that question comes clear as the Hitomi turns to reveal a sharp-featured face that first looks in the direction the deer ran away in. Then he looks toward the device.

[The video shows an eight-year-old with messy dark hair, dressed precociously in a sweater vest with a dress shirt and tie under it.

He looks quite unhappy.]

Hey, don't you dare do anything to that rabbit! It's wrong to hunt animals unless you plan to eat them, I've have you know!

[He shakes his finger at the Hitomi, scowls.]

And I have no idea what you're talking about, but if you're that stupid, you need to go back to school instead of threatening animals!

[Ryou stares at this child. What on Earth is he talking about?]

They approached me. [From his tone, he considers this suicidal. After all, it's not like he makes pets out of animals or anything. In his experience, sane creatures don't just stroll up to him.]

Well maybe they're welcoming you to the world! Did you ever think of that!? Huh, huh, mister?

[Yeah, he's not buying your bullshit, you hear?]

Re: [Video]

[cyberdarkscion]

Hell Kaiser. [He isn't just going to be called 'mister'. He has a name...not that he lets just anyone use it.]

What is this world, then? [Obviously this isn't where he was. Information is a must.]

Re: [Video]

[tenpa_tantrum]

Hell... Kaiser? What kind of name is that?

[Now he seems more curious than annoyed, really. He puts on a friendlier expression.]

I'm Gau!

[Never mind that the guy didn't ask.]

And this world is called Kan-na-ga-ra.

Re: [Video]

[cyberdarkscion]

The name I choose to be called. [He isn't friendly. But it's nothing personal. He's like that to everyone.]

How did I get here? [Since the last thing he remembers is leaving the island after quitting the tournament.]

Re: [Video]

[tenpa_tantrum]

... did you drop out of school? Okaa-san says to never drop out of school or you'll get dumber and dumber...

[Well, maybe she'd said it nicer than that. But Gau knew what she meant!]

I don't know how anyone gets here, but I woke up here today, and the pink-haired gay guy said that I used to be big, so maybe you were different before too!

Re: [Video]

[cyberdarkscion]

No. I graduated months ago. [Top of his class, too.]

I doubt it. I've never seen this place before.

Re: [Video]

[tenpa_tantrum]

Well I don't remember being here before either, and I remember everything.

[The little sweater-vested chest puffs out quite a bit here.]

I'm studying five languages already!

[Never mind how good he is at any of them, but that he's even trying at his age is really impressive. Or so okaa-san says!]

Re: [Video]

[cyberdarkscion]

Congratulations. [Yes, there is definite sarcasm in that tone.]

Re: [Video]

[tenpa_tantrum]

Hey don't you be mean to me! I have a pink-haired guy with a katana!

So there.

[Yeah, he might have just met Raikou, but he could totally use him as a threat.]

Re: [Video]

[cyberdarkscion]

[Sadly, he doesn't look impressed.]

Really? [Oops, the sarcasm hasn't decreased in the slightest.]
