[A rather serious-looking man appears on the screen, leaning back against a wall. A brown feather is between his teeth, which he doesn't seem to care about removing as he speaks.]

Hmph. So I have been brought to this place. Were this to be told to me rather than something I witnessed on my own, I would call it far-fetched. As it is, there is still little evidence as to what has happened.

… Unless someone would like to come forward with testimony, of course.

[There's a gleam in his eye that suggests this is more than just idle wondering.]

… A prison with pretty walls is still a prison. I demand to know why I have been moved to this place.

[There's a screech, and a large hawk lands on his shoulder. His expression softens very slightly.]

And make it quick. Taka does not like his time to be wasted, and neither do I.

I don't see why not. Despite the presence of the supernatural, this is still a city, after all. It has a government and a police force, so I'm sure there's a legal system as well.

[hawkattack]

That would be helpful. I do not relish the idea of simply sitting and doing nothing.

[terminally_clever]

A man after my own heart.

[hawkattack]

Hah.

[He grins a little bit.]

There was far too much of that in prison. Now that I am a free man, I intend to spend my time on actually productive things.

[terminally_clever]

Congratulations on your release, then. I hope you find what you're looking for here.

[hawkattack]

... I have already found that. But pursuing something new... I think now is a good opportunity for it.

[terminally_clever]

A very literal fresh start, you might say.

[hawkattack]

It is not an opportunity to be wasted, at least.

[terminally_clever]

Good luck to you, then.

[Fumi nods slightly.]

But I suppose we should make brief introductions before I let you get about your business. Fumi Kanno.

Well then, Prosecutor Blackquill, until next time.
