[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.))

[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.]

[nofairy]

That sounds like something Princess Zelda would do. I'm glad I'm not in the Royal Family. It's better just to have her as a friend.

[Link in the future she might be more than a friend, but okay then. I'm just the narration.]

[recycleddestiny]

Well, I can honestly say I'm not at the level of royalty, just expected to take over the family business once I'm out of school.

Though this whole "saving the world" thing's gonna put a damper on that, it seems.

[nofairy]

Business... like a shop?

[... !]

You had to save the world, too?

[recycleddestiny]

Yeah, but a hell of a lot bigger. It's hard to explain.

[That and the mun is still debating just what kind of business the Date group runs. :T]

Nah, talking more about what I was told when I got here. Back home I'm just a college student trying to make it through.

[nofairy]

... What's a college?

[recycleddestiny]

[... uh-oh.]

Uh - it's a kind of school, I guess. But you don't go there until you're older ... or something like that.

[nofairy]

Oh. I've never been to school.

[recycleddestiny]

[Okay that oddly explains a bit.]

Haaah? How'd you manage that one?

[nofairy]

I grew up in Kokiri Forest. The Kokiri don't age and they don't leave the forest, so it's not like they know much about the outside world - so most of them just learn things in the forest as they need them, and there's no real new information or anything...

[recycleddestiny]

Sounds pretty boring to me. And nobody thinks of heading out and doing something other than stay in that forest?

[nofairy]

If the Kokiri leave the forest, they die.

[recycleddestiny]

[ ..... well that shut him up for a good second while he processed that.]

Wait.

[He brings a hand to his face, pondering. He then lowers it.]

So you're tellin' me that if you leave, you die.

Okay, so -

How come you're standin' here then? [Wait he didn't really seem to include himself in the group when he mentioned the place he grew up ...]

Unless you were an exception?

[Just. Wat.]

[nofairy]

I'm... not really a Kokiri. My mother left me with them when I was a baby before she died.

[recycleddestiny]

.... okay that explains that at least.

[And the further this conversation goes, the more Masamune has no idea how to deal with it. And slightly feels like an ass. 8|]

But for what it's worth, sorry for bringing that up.

[nofairy]

... It's okay. I didn't know her, so it's kind of hard to be sad about it.

[Though it just makes him think of Saria... which does make him really sad.]

[recycleddestiny]

[Masamune shrugs slightly.]

Family's family ... or something like that.

[Though there is a tinge of bitterness in his voice when he says that. In all honesty, he wasn't close to any of his blood relatives save his cousin, Shigezane. Sure, he respected his father, but it was more ... distant was probably the best word for it.]
