[The video flicks to life as its owner spins it around, examining the engraved letters on the back.] Hitomi?

[He shakes his head rotating it back around, not even noticing that it is recording at first. But the device is the least of his worries when surrounded by such beauty. Though considering what happened last time the setting changed he

[monstersbigbro]

Who else would you be, exactly?

[The young man is standing in what looks like a kitchen, continuing to cut up piece of fruit as he talks. He doesn't look horribly happy about the job, or about talking to the stranger.]

I'm not really sure who all those people are, but I can tell you that you're in a world called Kannagara, and unless that 'they' that you're talking about are Shinto gods, you're blaming the wrong folks.

[gilded_despair]

Kannagara? [He blinks a tilting his head, brows knitting.] You mean we’re no longer on Atollo? I was of the impression there was no way off the island. [At least that’s what they’d been told. Perhaps they no longer were on the island. Far more likely this man’s memories had been altered much as his had been.]

Shinto gods? Is that so? I must say I find that surprising. [And offensive. To think Morgance and the others, even Arawn, would masquerade as the gods of another religion is angering, even if he doesn’t show it.]

[monstersbigbro]

So did I.

[Touya can't help but smirk at that. Because it seems a rather calm way to put it, really.]

And no, I don't know where this Attolo place is, but we're not there. You've been brought to a world called Kannagara, and I'm afraid there doesn't seem to be a way out. But I can offer you a place to stay, if that helps.

[There, he's very helpful, see? If not exactly... nice.]

[gilded_despair]

Ah... of course there isn't a way out. That does seem to be the trend, doesn't it?

[He just shakes his head, shrugging slightly. This was ridiculous but, for the time being he may as well play along. After all the last time things had changed everything about the world had changed and since he wasn't entirely sure where Fuar would fall in this place until things went back to normal he would need somewhere to stay.]

A place to stay would certainly be appreciated, at least until I can find my own.

[monstersbigbro]

That requires you come to Mizusato.

[He pauses for a moment, as if considering, and then shrugs his shoulders.]

You scared of a few demons?

[gilded_despair]

Demons? [Blink blink... well that's a little unexpected.]

I... have faced creatures that some might call demons before. I am confident I will be fine.

[He'd heard humans call hollows all manner of things. Monsters and demons most frequent among them. Though he did have to wonder how many hollows were wandering around this world to have someone warning him about such things.]

[monstersbigbro]

You should be fine then.

[He pauses, remembering how he'd felt when he first came here and saw things that he'd never seen before. Even with his experience with ghosts... it was entirely different.]

Just keep an eye out. If you get into trouble, just contact me, and I'll come find you.

[gilded_despair]

I will. I appreciate the information...

[Now he just needed to figure out this silly device and he'd be fine...

Who was he kidding? He wasn't going to be able to figure out something like that on one of these ridiculous contraptions. What he wouldn't give for a hell butterfly about now.]

I'm sorry I don't believe I caught your name? I am Kira Izuru and you are...?

[monstersbigbro]

Kinomoto Touya.

[Well, this guy seems rather polite, so he'll gruffly add.]

Nice to meet you, Kira-san.

[gilded_despair]

The pleasure is mine, Kinomoto-san.

[Kira does seem to inspire politeness in even the most defiant of grumpy teens, it’s a hidden talent.]

[monstersbigbro]

[He smiles even. Because it's hard not to, really.]

Come to us, we'll take care of you, okay?
