Because I don't hold weapons ever thought of that? in my world, the only weapons a prosecutor needs is their mind and the truth to bring to court anyway, if I had to learn how to fight I'd go for projectile weapons anyway. Maybe like throwing knives...
[ What isn't ridiculous to him, though. That will be the true question. ]
You're just saying that because you can't guess what the faces are, aren't you? Don't worry, they aren't that difficult they just add to the text, so you should consider them an enhancement!
I forget your land is one where men fight with words alone. At any rate, they're equally distracting, especially when you draw so much attention to them by snapping your fingers around.
I know exactly what they are. A happy face, a sad face, the face I am making at you at the moment, an ecstatic face, a mischievous face, and a face eating a strange weapon of sorts.
[ Why would anyone put a weapon in their mouth? That's unsanitary. ]
The only thing they're "enhancing" is your foolishness.
[ insufficient? why he never. only he's just laughing his ass off at this point. ]
do people in your world often read minds? must be some amazing powers you guys have
and I'm checking up on you nothing wrong in doing a little for an acquaintance with what I've learned about this place it's better to enjoy the here and now
before things get really bad or do you really think this is going to be it?
I will stop matters from becoming worse even if it takes everything I have to make it possible. I don't need you to check up on me. You're far too small and too young to fill Sakon's shoes, so don't even bother.
Now, run along and concern yourself with other matters while I take care of my own.
that's confident talk, you know let's hope you can back it up or I'll be quite disappointed! who's Sakon? don't tell me you actually have friends! I'm almost jealous here!
Aww Herr Mitsunari when you say it like that, it doesn't sound like you *don't* consider him a friend after all!
I bet he thinks of you as one too and sticks around because of it!
There's no harm in starting now, ja? we can be friends too I happen to be a pretty loyal friend myself so if I'm actually talking to you and concerned with how you're holding up you might simply potentially be one ;) ♥
I never asked for this. Direct your interest elsewhere. I'm only looking for a way to return to my land, and you're currently interfering with it by distracting me.
Though, since you're quite insistent on getting in my good graces, then perhaps there is something you can do for me.
what, you think I did? we're all in the same boat here it wouldn't hurt to stick together until we can find a way back besides, too much thinking and you might miss what's in front of you!
... you're not going to tell me to stop messaging you or walk off a cliff or something are you? don't do it! I'm more interesting than your fluff pet. promise! ♥
It's tempting, but I do actually require your services. Compose a CSV for me while I dictate. Listen to my accomplishments and hurriedly type them down then send them electronically to the one they call "Chief."
you mean a CV? I can do that! would you like to see how I do it though? just for reference. it's good to know these things, ja?
[ For once, surprisingly enough, he's not being a dick- he genuinely wants Mitsunari to know it, and he wouldn't mock the fact that he doesn't know what's absolutely normal for Klavier to. Could this be respectful of him?! Gasp. ]
I've heard of this Chief too- Master Chief, ja? heard they were going to take up trainees for combat too. I'm going to learn, too! not that I've ever needed to... but this place, ja?
I'm more interested in doing the training. I've already learned all I need to. I've been warrior since long before you even existed. I'm also more concerned about having suitable recruits under my command and not just a bunch of weak and pathetic warriors.
And, of course, I'll review what you've written before submission. I want to make sure you don't slip anything in there that doesn't belong.
I'm sure you have but a wise person usually never stops learning the ones that say they know everything may still have far more to learn, ja?
[ He's amused. What a stubborn man, but he's not the kind to let anyone that associates with him get kicked in the ass when he's around to protect it
And Mitsunari happens to have a very nice rear, he has to say. ]
And of course you've been a warrior long before I existed You kind of have six hundred years over me. ;) I was talking about my plans, though Maybe you can show me how you do that tossy-slice thing that was actually kind of cool.
It's not something anyone can pick up easily, and why not find a weapon more suitable to your talents? In my land, no one fights with the same style. All I can teach you are the basics, and the rest you must develop on your own.
Besides, having the right hand-eye coordination is tricky and takes years to perfect. Wouldn't you be more satisfied with a sword or something simple?
Ach. That would be too easy. my older bro tried to get me to fence and my best friend likes guns I don't like weapons myself but whatever basics I can learn will be good!
and Herr Fluffy, I play instruments you can rest assured my hand eye coordination is top notch! what kind of weapon would you give a guy like me, though? I'm thinking of something I can throw, but still control ... maybe something with a chain that would look awesome! what do you think?
That would look absolutely foolish. Though there is a man I know who fights with a shamisen. You would do well to take tips from him, given his own affinity for music. Unfortunately, he happens to be back in my world, and you already stressed that you have no actual abilities.
His twanging can blow people off their feet -quite literally. I would suggest in the absence of those powers, to use your instrument to hit others over the head.
[ If he breaks it like that, then Mitsunari is spared forever from listening to it. ]
[ How dare he even suggest that. This man has no respect for beautiful instruments!! ]
I hope for your sake that was a really bad joke or I'll have to hold you in contempt of instruments! what kind of a musician do you take me for? guitars are precious and beautiful I'd never break them so recklessly like some other rockers do. with their elegant build and quality sound they deserve respect and care for the craftsmen that make them.
[ Oh look, something he's passionate about. ]
Whoever this friend of yours is probably has neither the respect or ear for music if he can mistreat his instrument like that. but I am curious how does that even work?
You and what army? In case you've forgotten, your skills in battle are inadequate compared to mine. And it was only a suggestion. He is able to create blasts of power that knock his foes out with just a pluck of the shamisen strings.
If you could somehow replicate that ability, you'd have a chance of defending yourself here properly by harnessing your natural talent into something destructive.
I'm using the word talent liberally. I've yet to hear you play anything tasteful.
What does that have to do with anything? You'd still be held in contempt for encouraging damage to someone's personal property Good thing I'm not about to jump to that conclusion (yet)! In my world, that can be considered a crime, you know.
[ He might be bullshitting here, but hey, it could totally be a crime. Actually, he's pretty sure it is in some places. Either way... ]
So this friend of yours has a magical shamisen. Pity they don't make those kinds outside videogames in my world Maybe I could find one here.
And you know, Herr Mitsunari You're never going to find the things I like worth liking Because you're so used to the things you like. So how about you open up your mind a bit and explore what you have before you? I'm not about to back down from a challenge
Use that nice voice of yours and hum me something you know And watch how I transform that beat into something even your ears will succumb to.
What makes you think I'm looking for new things to enjoy? I already have things I enjoy. I am not interested in changing them. How about you stop shoving all your own preferences onto me and simply enjoy them on your own? Are you so insecure that you need someone to verify that the things you like are, indeed, worth liking?
I'm not singing to you, either. I have no time for anymore of this. Stop contacting me.
[ If he could hear him, he'd hear his laughter, soft and amused. ]
I think the only one insecure Is the one afraid of change. You could always show me the things you like I wouldn't mind sharing and learning That's how you make friends, Or I suppose in your case, you want "allies"?
[ Oh flufferupergist, what is he going to do with you? ]
Now now, turn that frown upside down We're all in the same boat here But don't worry, I have to stop contacting you for now seeing as I'm right outside your door. singing for you to join me for dinner ♥
[ Yes, Mitsunari, he won't stop until he comes out with him again hurdy hurr. ]
I prefer allies. Useful ones. You have yet to prove your worth. I have plenty of friends and companions back home, but it won't be of much use to make any here. We won't see one another again once we escape. And I am not afraid of change. I would just rather embrace it when the situation calls for it.
Don't invite yourself over when you think it's convenient! You should ask before coming over. I'm in the middle of something. I suppose I'll have to tell you about it in person now that you're visiting unannounced.

Use that insufficient mind of yours and discern my mood from my words.
