[Okay. This isn't hard. He's stuck here... and... there's no real way back so the best option is to work with this ALASTAIR ... clan? Clan. In order to fix issues in different places...

... and this ear cuff will let him talk to people but he has no idea how. Jewelry doesn't let you talk to people?? Talking to people lets you talk to people??

Carefully and very tentatively, like he's worried the communicator is about to leap out at him and grab him, Yukimura sets the little ear cuff communicator on the ground in front of him and crouches down in so he's eye level with it. Enjoy the overabundance of red.]

...

[He takes a deep breath. He was told he could talk to people, but he can't see anyone so... he'll have to speak loudly so he can be heard.

Brace yourself, Futurology.]

HELLO?

[... Nothing.]

HELLO, ARE YOU ABLE TO HEAR ME THROUGH THIS PIECE OF JEWELRY?

[Still nothing?? This is concerning him. Is he alone here, other than the man who had spoken to him when he first arrived? What should he do in this situation? Begin a scouting mission to search out any signs of life? Or should he continue shouting through this piece of jewelry he doesn't really believe is doing what he was told it would do.

...

Option B it is.]

I AM WORRIED THAT THIS JEWELRY IS NOT DOING WHAT I WAS TOLD IT WOULD, AND THAT I WILL FIND MYSELF AT A COMMUNICATION DISADVANTAGE IF THIS DOES NOT WORK. CAN ANYONE HEAR ME? [He reaches out and taps on the side of the cuff, shaking the image rather violently.] ANYBODY?

[TAP. TAP. TAP.

BEEP.]

... [He leans forwards, almost conspiratorially and whispers....] Hello?

[... Someone help this poor, unsuspecting loser out. Please. For the sake of your eardrums if nothing else.]

[It worked, didn't it?]

Ah! [A response! Okay, so it's a grumpy one word response, but still. It's something! He'll take it.]

Thank you for your reply. I hadn't seen anyone since arriving here. [... From the first place he arrived in. He's done more world hopping in one day than anyone really should have to. Probably.

The volume's dropped, but the level of enthusiasm hasn't.]

[ Koltira scowls into his jewelry. He's so tired. Why does this man get to be so vivacious and energetic when he, personally, is so god damn tired? ]

Rest assured, you are broadcasting to the lot of us quite clearly. If you think yourself alone, you have not walked far enough from where you arrived.

[Because he's Sanada Genjirou Yukimura. Obviously.]

I have only just arrived here.

[Yup. Pretty much literally.]

Here, specifically. The last place was very quiet. I thought this was going to be the same.

Then walk.

[ After a moment, teeth gritted. ]

What place?

There is plenty of time for walking now that I have figured out this jewelry does what I was told it would do.

[Priorities.]

Os... [Pause. Frown.] Oska?

We only stay there in-between missions. Were you told of our present purpose?

I was given a general idea, yes.

[But... there's being given a general idea and then there's experiencing the reality. He'd know there were other people, but it had sounded like he'd immediately be in the middle of things and, well, people.

And he wasn't.

So he got worried and yelled.]

Then you know there is work to be done, and little time for shouting.

[ He massages his temples, tiredly, and sighs. ]

We are presently at work constructing a bomb. Make yourself useful and join us in collecting the materials.

What sort of materials are needed?

[It was pretty much just "go here, help little deer people, ???, profit". He may need a little more to go on...]

There seem to be plenty of burnables around here...
