[At this point, Masamune's been mulling over recent events and wondering just what the everliving fuck did he get dragged into. It's only after a bit of contemplation on this that he got frustrated and left his apartment to do some more exploration of this place.

It's not until he ends up at the Arcade that he stops, shrugging. Why not. He could use some semi-mindless entertainment at this point. There's the usual fare, but one game in particular catches his eye, and it's at this point that the feed would start recording proper.

Once set up, Masamune takes his position opposite the screen, banging on something at certain times (probably harder than what is necessary but shhhh this is a good way to get out some pent-up frustration), and then -

literally flipping a table.]

YA-HA!

[He grins wickedly as he watches the game tally up his score and lets out a satisfied huff of air. Aw yis, new distance record.]

If only Sanada were here to see this. Bet he'd be all fired up to try and beat that.

((this is a legit thing, by the way.))

The things one can see on the network. It's magnificent.

"I know what I'm playing next time I go to the arcade!"

[video]

[recycleddestiny]

[Hold on a sec as he's realizing that oh, hey, recording.

Eh. Could be worse.]

Surprised they got this here. Can't beat a good fighting game, but my usual opponent isn't here, so this had to do.

[helenchanted]

Huh? You know my brother?

[One(1) confused Sanada at your service.]

[recycleddestiny]

[And one confused Masa in return. CONFUSION ALL AROUND.]

I don't remember Yukmura ever mentioning a sister. An older brother, yeah, but no sisters.

[helenchanted]

[Wait that makes no sense...unless Akihiko is brothers with Shinjiro in another world but...]

...

[No that's a stupid theory Miki don't think about it.]

Maybe it's not the same Sanada then. My name is Miki, and my brother is Akihiko.

[recycleddestiny]

[Masamune smirks slightly, shaking his head.]

Definitely not, then. Sanada Yukimura's the guy I'm talking about. Then again, if he were here, you'd know.

And about half the city while we're at it.

[nofairy]

[Okay there is someone being dragged away from his Fruit Ninja-esque game by the loud screaming.]

[So have a boy in green staring at you from behind you.]

[Action]

[recycleddestiny]

[Yeah, he's a loud one, unfortunately. At the very least it's entertaining to see him play? Though Masamune's no stranger to an audience - he, Yukimura, Keiji, and Motochika were notorious for drawing crowds when they played certain games, especially when Masa and Yukimura ended up doing one of their famous runs of DDR.

Anyway - even though he's used to it, he still turns and gives a slight wave.]

Need something?

[nofairy]

What kind of... game is that?

[He's still a little confused at all of these games. He has enough trouble reading the instructions, okay.]

[recycleddestiny]

[Probably doesn't help that some of these are probably in different languages, either.]

This? Easiest way to explain is that you bang on the table to build tension - then flip it at the right time to cause the most damage and get it out there as far as you can.

It's pretty fun once you get the hang of it.

[nofairy]

[Not at all. 8D; ]

Huh. That's kind of... strange. Why do you want to flip the table?

[It's not a pot so why do you want to break it?]

[recycleddestiny]

Depends on what scenario you pick. In one you're a ghost haunting your own funeral, another you're a disgruntled old man who gets fed up with his kids being brats and his wife not doing anything to help, another's a board meeting that just drags on and on.

Think the last one's probably my favorite.

[If only because he gets the feeling that once he gets done with school and has to deal with the family business, it's going to take a lot to not do what they do in the game.]

[nofairy]

Why are you meeting on a board? That sounds uncomfortable.

[What are your strange modern words.]

[recycleddestiny]

[Okay, that actually gets him to laugh and hush, he doesn't know better yet. The boy's new to this concept of people from different worlds and times still.]

In a sense, but I mean more that it's this huge, long table where a bunch of stuffy old guys discuss micromanagement. [He scoffs a bit, shaking his head.] Still don't get how Kojuro or the old man could stand it.

[nofairy]

Ew.

[He wrinkles his nose.]

That sounds really, really, really boring.

[recycleddestiny]

It is. But it's one of those things you're expected to do, otherwise everyone gets mad and apparently you make the group you represent look bad as a result.

[At least in his past life he made war council fun.]

[ Sanada, huh? Minato knows two Sanadas who he can see getting pretty fired up about something, but only one of them is male. But of course, they're not the only Sanadas to have ever existed in Japan by a long shot, so he's sure there's a great chance this guy is not talking about Akihiko.

Still... it doesn't hurt to ask, since he doesn't think Akihiko is too good about checking the network regularly... ]

You're pretty good at that.

... mind if I ask the name of the Sanada you're referring to?

video

[recycleddestiny]

It's a good way to vent - think we nearly broke the one back home after finals last semester.

[Good times. 8'D]

Sanada Yukimura - doubt he'd be here, you could probably hear him yelling from halfway across the city. Guy doesn't really have much of an indoor voice.

video

[fools_journey]

It would have been nice to have one in the arcade near my high school.

But ah, I see. I don't think I've met him. I know a pair of Sanada siblings, but they're probably not related.

[ Talking about semesters... Well, Sanada Yukimura is a name he's seen come up in history books in school, but if this guy is talking about semesters, then it's very probably that Yukimura's parents were just history buffs or as big of fans of the Sengoku era as a certain history teacher at Minato's last high school... ]

[recycleddestiny]

[Oh honey, if only you knew. Just wait until this one decides to introduce himself.]

Yeah, think one of them popped on earlier: thought I was talking about her brother. Take it you guys are from the same area, then?

video

[fools_journey]

[ If only he knew indeed... ]

Mmhmm. Same high school.

My name is Minato Arisato, by the way.

video

[recycleddestiny]

Got it. Unfortunately I don't get the honor of having any of the others here. Oh well.

[Not that he was complaining too much, more that he's surprised some of them didn't end up getting dragged along for the ride. Yukimura, Motochika and Keiji would at least have some fun around here.

Maybe.]

Masamune. Date Masamune.

video; apologies for the delay! I'm on hiatus but I'm trying to do some old tags now!

[fools_journey]

[ That name... plus a Sanada Yukimura? ]

Ah... nice to meet you...

[ How to ask tactfully? Hm. ]

Mm, if you don't mind my asking, but is it.. ah... common where you are from to be named after historical figures...?

video; no worries! i'm just finally getting to these tags.

[recycleddestiny]

Haah?

[That does get him to stop and think about it, at least. Though during that moment he winces slightly, only to give a half-shake of the head and a nonchalant shrug.]

It's just what I was named, honestly. I got no idea if my folks decided it'd be cute to name me after the guy or not, but I can't complain about it.

video; ^^; And then I was on hiatus. I'm sorry.

[fools_journey]

I see. It's a good name to carry.

[ And Minato really hopes it wasn't too awkward to ask, but in any event, it's asked, and it's time to move on. But ... to what topic? ]

... gonna try to beat your record on the game or are you done for the day?
