It seems this world is similar to my own.

I will take your questions, before one of you ends up causing an incident.

If you plan to actually attempt to blend in here... find me. You will need far more than just words to guide you.

[No offense, but she's seen how some of you act... and some of your dressing attempts.

Though her attempt at offering to help maybe isn't that much better.]

[kisha]

And where is that? Near the capital?

[She knows it as "Naniwa", still... oops.]

If you plan to go about escorted, then it seems best you keep to the slums.

[tormado]

That's Tokyo. By train, it's like, a few hours?

[The slums, huh. Oookay.]

Okay...I don't think I'd be very useful out there so I guess I should find somebody to buddy up with. [...] Even in the Flowerlands? I kinda got the impression from the Dossier that I might be able to get away unescorted out there.

[kisha]

... I do not know Tokyo.

[Or trains, but.]

That might do you well- it seems they are farmers, and they ought be more focused on just trying to make a living than ranks.

[tormado]

Alright. Thanks.

[Beat.]

So. What's the capital called where you're from?

[kisha]

Kyoto, of course.

[tormado]

Oh.

Huh. [He thinks about it for a second.] Where I'm from, it hasn't been there for...geez, way more'n a hundred years, by now.

[kisha]

Are you of the Showa emperor's time, then?

[She's heard about it.]

[tormado]

No, he passed a little before I was born. Right now, it's...

Well, last time I was home, it was his son, but. I'm pretty sure he was gonna abdicate soon and I. Haven't been home in a few years? So that probably happened already.

...I just realized I missed the start of a new era. Huh.

[kisha]

Then it seems we are some four hundred years apart.

[It still sounds insane to say aloud.]

[tormado]

...that's a lot.

[Bit of an understatement.]

[kisha]

... indeed.

[yeah......]

[tormado]

Yeah...

[...]

...I'm Amado, by the way.

[kisha]

Hayame.

---> video

[tormado]

...well, uh. While I've got you.

[It abruptly switches to video and he holds up his right arm...which is a robotic replacement. Definitely way too advanced for this world.]

Any recommendations what I oughta do to make...this a little less conspicuous?

[kisha]

[That's a sight that might be shocking, if she wasn't intimately familiar with another false arm. This one is more obviously metallic, but...]

The clothing of this world is primarily long in the sleeve. If you also invest in an archer's glove or a forearm bracer... that should disguise the rest.

[tormado]

Glove or a bracer... [He nods.] Got it.

Thanks. [Beat.] Hayame.

[kisha]

You are welcome.
