[050] - [Voice]
[Mitsuhide sounds incredibly thoughtful today. There is good reason for that, which is revealed almost immediately.]I have now been in Vatheon for a year... or, rather, somewhat more than a year. The exact day of that anniversary passed by without me even realising it. I confess I was somewhat occupied with other matters, at the time. Better late

All that happened to you here?

[You don't know the half of it.]
Curses are not as frequent as they used to be. There was a time when we would be affected by one every other week, so I have seen many examples of what the Lamufao can do.

Is a curse like a debuffer? [Lmfao sob. Sorry he's sometimes a gamer.]
Who's Lamufao?

[A brief pause.]
The Lamufao is the coral you may have seen in the central area of Vatheon. It possesses great power, including the power to put us through these curses. A curse is... well. Anything, really. I gave you many examples that affected people directly, but sometimes it has simply brought unusual weather into the dome, or changed what Vatheon looks like.
From what I can tell there are no real limitations to what it can do. A while ago it was damaged, however, and since then the curses have happened a lot less frequently.

That's what that is? Is it like a boss? What if we defeat it, will everything go back to normal?

...the Lamufao cannot be harmed by our hands, and even if it could, it would be very unwise to destroy it. Without it the barrier around Vatheon would collapse... or so we are told, at least.
[Another small silence.]
When you say 'boss,' what do you mean, exactly?
[He knows the word, but the definition he attributes to it doesn't seem to match how it is being used by the other man.]

...
So we're stuck here?

[Mitsuhide takes that information in. It still confuses him for a few moments, until memories of a certain curse pop into his head.]
When you say game, are you referring to 'videogames?' I am afraid that invention is from a period many years past my own time. I have only heard of them because there was a curse that turned Vatheon something resembling... what was it?
[...]
A roleplaying game? I think that was what I was told. During that time I had to defeat a huge beast to complete the 'quest' I was sent on.

You haven't played a video game before? [Like with a controller, but doing it for real sounds fun too!] What kind of time are you from?
I didn't know you could make games come to life. Quests are usually boring, but I bet you had fun!

According to the system most use here, I am from 1582. [His voice grows a little shaky there, again, but he recovers quickly enough.] During the prolonged age of war in my home of Japan.
[There is quiet laughter, then.]
It was certainly interesting. I have yet to work out what throwing money has to do with being a samurai, however.

15...82. [Calculation with some fingers annnnnd he still doesn't know when that is.] Japan? I'm confused. When was it 1582?
Some games use weird things to attack with?

[Mitsuhide's voice becomes quiet but kind.]
Well, you may not even be from the same world as I, but... if you are? My era must be at least several hundred years before yours.
[There is a brief chuckle.]
I suppose it is no stranger than my Lord Motochika wielding a shamisen in battle, and that is his normal weapon.

Sounds like a long time.
...a shamisen? What's what?
