This is odd. To say the least.

The intentions sound much like those of a group I have come to know and care for, but I cannot help but wonder if that is as far as it goes. They would never force anyone to partake in missions that they did not want to themselves. Regardless of the reasons. That is not their way. But I am being rude and speaking of what I am seeing first rather than through understanding. They do not sound like they are "bad people," and it is not as though I am not speaking to the choir, yes?

Still, I write these words down with the hope my feelings will change in time. I hope to look back at these words and find them to be false. That way if others come with these same feelings that I will have an answer for them that will speak to the doubt and uncertainty that I feel now and will most like be mirrored in them. I write, too, my name.

I am Genji. Pleasure to meet you.

[whatshimadayou]

[He knew the voice immediately this time, as opposed to when they first came across each other in Hanamura.

A lot of emotions wash over him. Anger at first that they would drag him into this mess, to bring in his brother, who deserves to at least know the familiarity of their planet than to be off in these ridiculous missions.

Frustration. He does not even know who he is anymore. He is not the Genji he'd grown up with. He's different, calm, focused, who had the nerve to change him--

Then grief and sorrow. Inevitable feelings. There is no one to blame for anything.

No one but himself.]

It is not unlike a draft.
Difficult to forgive, when they pull in children.

But they say they may be able to return some to home, eventually.
Perhaps you as well.

text; un: green cyborg

[backthatup]

That is one way to view it.

Still, children, too, hm? That is a little harder to forgive, it is true.

There is something that I must do when I return home but I cannot allow my view to be small, either. I shall hope to return and perhaps it is a blessing to come in that I can help to look after the young that have been brought here.

Master would probably say there is reason for everything. And there is good that can always be done.

voice; | un: urahara

[predomination]

[not that urahara doesn't his protestations about this whole thing, but honestly he'd rather happily go along with it and hope it turns out well or else uncover the truth of it for himself, than express them. either way he's going to get something out of it, and anything is better than sitting in the shop trying to make amends for his latest trail of broken pawns.

other people, however, can't be expected to take everything in stride like they can handle either way the wind blows.]

Seeing how Lloyd-san seems so tired of explaining it, it must be quite a problem for them, as well. [not that ALASTAIR is the victim here, by any means.] It's a tricky situation- either way, both sides are inconvenienced.

voice; | un: green cyborg

[backthatup]

That is true. The two of us are in an unfortunate situation but a "good answer" may come from it.

A cool head and calm soul will be able to find a way to make the best of all things.

[predomination]

Mmhmm. I'm impressed no one seems intent on fighting them on it.

[yet. and seriously don't do that, anyone. please.

he adds, lightly:] Buuut I did just arrive myself~ The fighting could have already been proven pointless.

video; un: mccree

[flashbanging]

[ If it ain't Genji Shimada, in the--whatever he's made of now. McCree, somewhere in the forest, his right arm bound with Hanzo's ribbon, leans forward into the camera and grins wide. ]

Howdy, partner. Real nice t'see you.

vdeo; un: green cyborg

[backthatup]

[ The visor glows a bright green as he looks at the feed. For a moment, it could be blinding before he gets the output under control. An acquaintance though McCree is, it is though he would feel nothing in seeing him injured. But there is a small sigh. ]

That is somehow the kind of response I would expect from you. [ ... ] It seems foolish to ask but are you all right?

[flashbanging]

Oh, this old thing?

[ He glances at his arm. ]

Ain't nothin'. Your brother patched it up nice.

text; un: heiwa; im sorry

[longtempered]

[Shizuo no, don't be that guy. Don't be that one guy. Nobody likes a pedant, don't--]

But since you're talking into it, aren't you actually recording a voice instead of writing anything down?


[Look somebody had to ask...]

tezt; un: green cyborg

[backthatup]

[ A brief pause before he laughs. Not that it can be heard. ]

You are right. I didn't actually write it down. I suppose writing it down in my memories work better. Haha.

[longtempered]

Yeah, that probably sounded pretty picky just then, sorry. Looks like you meant that as a metaphor instead of literally...so memories works too, I guess.

I've just seen some people not know how to use these phone things off the bat, so I figured I'd make sure and all that? Since it sounds like you're new...just arrived?

voice: un; CAPTAIN

[nishishi]

You really use a lotta flowery language to get a point across, huh.

[Hi Genji, nice to meet you, I'm Rude.]

But it's neat to meet you, too! You sound a little like my friend Okami.

We'll just be going on adventures together, so don't sweat the small stuff, okay?

voice; | un: green cyborg

[backthatup]

A fault I am working on. Though not as hard as I should. [ A warm laugh. Hi rude, I am super chill. ]

Your friend? [ Hanzo has made friends? Other than Mccree, hm? ] That is how you are viewing things, too. We'll, I can't say that isn't a nice way to see things.

voice: un; CAPTAIN

[nishishi]

Nishishi. Don't try to change yourself for other people. [What an odd thing to say after making fun of it.

Oh well.]

Yeah, he's a big samurai-looking guy with tattoos. [As if Genji has no idea who he's talking about. And the friendship is, as one might expect, mostly one-sided(for now.)]

Everything in life is just one experience after the next. It's a great way to look at things. [You can almost Hear him grinning.]

[diablejambe]

[Sanji's just greeting that mess of whatever the hell just came out of Genji's mouth with a steady exhale of smoke. Directly into the jewel projector.]

Hooo, a wordsmith, huh? [You better not turn that flowery language towards any of the ladies, Genji.]

There's no point in sulking about being brought here. You'll just be wasting your time and not figuring out a way to get back-- if that's what you want.

Besides. [He shrugs.] Beats being kidnapped and forced to just sit in chains.

video; un: green cyborg

[backthatup]

More like someone who has learned the value of words. [ A good-natured laugh follows. ]

I wouldn't call it sulking as it is hoping and having faith in the good nature of the people while knowing that may not actually be the case. [ His shoulders give a small shrug as he understands that he could have worded it much better. ]

That would be unfortunate. Do you have experience in that?

[asscan]

Their means are sublimely crass, Genji, but they do what they can. If you will take a rather unenlightened analogy, ALASTAIR appears to have a single tool within its grasp, that of some kind of sledgehammer, when they must sometimes make an attempt to do the work of a scalpel in these worlds.

Their might has been diminished, if the stories are true, but you might speak with our superiors if you see a pressing need. They make allowances where possible, for all that they work on a skeleton crew.

voice; un: green cyborg

[backthatup]

[ he quietly mulls over that bit of information before asking: ]

Do you know why they are now a skeleton crew?

audio; UN: marine01

[soru]

Better to meet a situation with optimism than otherwise. At least then you can walk forward without tripping up. [ addendum: too badly. ]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Genji-san. I'm Coby. I hope your time here is an easy one.

voice; | un: green cyborg

[backthatup]

Yes. All events, even negative ones, can be a means to grow a little more as a person.

It is a pleasure to meet you, too. Ah, you can call me Genji, though. We are to be fighting with one another and as I told someone else, it seems funny for someone to be formal with me in that case.

(Voice | UN: courtesy)

[stonebird]

Welcome, Genji. We are without a choice in the missions we partake. I fear your feelings on the matter will not change, per se, but I pray you find peace in your new situation.

voice; | un: green cyborg

[backthatup]

Unfortunate to hear that my feelings may not change. Still thank you for your kindness in wishing me peace. I hope you have found your own in some way.

voice, un: shirogane

[regiment]

All we can do is take the right steps forward and try to help where we can.

I'm Takashi Shirogane. (a pause.) Most people call me Shiro. Good to meet you, Genji.

voice, un: green cyborg

[backthatup]

Yes. I am happy to hear that there are others that share my feelings. Even if we may have been taken without our consent, that does not mean we should not help the worlds that are in need, right? I believe my master would say the same.

It is a pleasure to meet you, Shiro. Are you new or have you been here for awhile?
