[It took a while for him to figure out how this network device worked. Most of the technology talk went over his head during the initial greeting before the attack happened, so up until this time he was figuring how to work this shining piece of wizardry. Video posts still make him jump, so he'll never be using that option himself.

The recording clicks on and there's a short silence before someone clears his voice.]

Since I'll be around this place for a while, I figure I should use this communication method to introduce myself. Name's Kisuke, I come from a different time from this world. Ancient Japan, if you want to be specific. Large castles, samurais, ninjas, things that's on some... [There's a mumble of something like "wizardry"] ...vi-de-o things, along with some youkai spirits to the mix.

Not sure what else to say about myself, but nice to meet you all.

[The public recording ends here.]

[Private to Torahime]
[A separate recording was made to be sent to Torahime.]

Good day, hime. I hope the terrorist and demon ambush the other day didn't harm you. I wanted to stay by your side to fight along side you, but I suppose I can't be selfish when it's not just us two anymore. On my part of the mission, I ran into your sister, Momohime. She was going on by another name, Oboro... Have you seen her already? I have some guesses of what might have happened...

[He takes a small pause, where he's scratching his cheek, unsure how to continue talking.]

...It's kinda awkward talking to this steel bracelet thing.

Yeah, we did, before the mission started. Thanks for your concern.

[He sounds a little happy about it, yep.]

I'm glad! She seemed so worried; I had hoped you two found each other!

It was pure luck, too. [He laughs, but the laugh sounds a little sad. Torahime was supposed to pass on...]

It's funny how things sometimes work out. Sometimes a little luck goes a long way!

You can say that again. If it weren't for this strange world, I wouldn't have seen Torahime ever again.

No? Then you two were separated at home?

[How tragic! True love, torn asunder!]

How awful! I'm glad this place has reunited you~

Separated... In a way, yeah.

[He goes quiet for a moment. Talking about seeing Torahime pass on to the heavens wasn't exactly something he'd want to talk about, it felt like it'd be a jinx.]

But anyways, thanks for the appreciation again.

Of course. Please, if either of you needs anything while you're here, let me know what I can do to help, okay?

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for your generosity.
