[ LOCKED TO SUTOKU ALLIANCE ] video; un: rider

[ it takes ryouma a little bit to get around to this, but eventually(!!) he appears, filming a video from what appears to be... outside a fancy-looking starbucks? well, they're everywhere, after all! even in hell! maybe they're also paying him for the product placement? in any case, it's a nice day, and he's outside with his iced coffee and with sunglasses on you can't tell how tired he might be! coffee and a cigarette is the meal of champions when you have a lot of stress in your life. ]

Hello, everyone! I thought it'd be a good time to welcome in all our newest Alliance Lost Souls!

[ yes, he's waving! ]

I'm Sakamoto Ryouma — but just Ryouma is fine! — and a lot of people around here know I'm a Lieutenant and a main point of contact for any business with the Alliance. If you need anything, you can always come to me, and I'll at least try and help you find what you're looking for.

That being said, you've got plenty of good people around here you can look to also! The rest of you aren't off the hook~!

My newest co-Lieutenant is Matoba Seiji. [ so feel free to bother him now too, haha! ] Emily Dyer will be acting as my second, and if you don't already know where the clinic is, you should familiarise yourself and help out a little!

You can also find your other seniors — Kim Kitsuragi, Yuri Leclerc, Xingqiu, Artemy Burakh, Cloud Strife, and Ydris — if you need anything!

[ enjoy the new responsibility?? this is also live video and not text, so there is a strong possibility that ryouma has butchered several of these names in his accent. the good news is that he also holds up a list of the names written out because he knows himself.

now that that's out of the way, he can move along to some useful information before he wraps this thing up. his coffee's melting, and he's sitting when he probably has three other places he could be... ]


You represent the Sutoku Alliance now, so keep that in mind! We don't really have much of a dress code or anything, but you should still get one of these pins, so people know what crew you're with.

[ he taps the pin on his jacket with the kanji for sutoku. aren't you relieved that the naval uniform isn't standard-issue attire? now everyone knows why he's rated four stars for COOLER HAT on EMBER. ]

We have 'em at Konoha and at plenty of other places, too, so just ask!

We're gonna have a get-together officially soon enough, but this is a good opportunity to get to know each other ahead of time! My advice to all of you is to learn as much as possible about this place and the people who live here, your fellow Lost Souls in the other factions included! Find something that interests you and dig right in! Always be paying attention because it's all in what you know.

[ so go be nosy and get the good gossip!! ]

I'm excited to say there will be a lotta interesting things going on around here soon enough, so I'll be counting on you all to do your best! You have a week to settle in and get comfortable before we'll be putting you to work, so don't hesitate to reach out if you need something in the meantime, got it?

I think that should do it for now. Have fun!

[ ooc: this is an open post for sutoku so FEEL FREE TO THREADJACK TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT! ]

[ ...Alright, Tama, you've earned his begrudging respect there. ]

that's... a pretty good way of looking at it.
i'm impressed.

still, people can go to some pretty elaborate lengths to keep things under wraps.
you shouldn't assume it'll be easy to tell.

Sometimes I'm a little smart! Even if nobody ever expects it, and also if it's not too 'smart' compared to my best friends...I guess that's why I'm in Sutoku and both of them are in Shuten, though. (´▽`;)

Even if that bit of logic is true, it's all I have to my name...I can't really do anything else but try to keep records, and collate notes. I have to leave the heavy work of sorting out a true motive to those more brilliant than me. But I don't mind the legwork, if it helps others out!

[ ...Huh. That gives him an idea. Not one he can -act- on, anytime soon. But he's reminded of something that Minato mentioned to him, that Tama was... ]

it's a good skill.
record-keeping, i mean.
it's easy to lose things to memory if you aren't careful.
i know that from experience.
i'm not exactly a detective myself, but, well.
you learn things when you're willing to help people out, i guess.
so being a mercenary comes in handy.

I have a pretty good memory, thankfully. It's sort of requirement, when your two best friends are geniuses in different ways...

[ Tone was understandably hard to read online, and in writing, and never before had Tama been gladder for that. ]

Ah, a 'mercenary'- that sounds, what's the phrase, so 'cloak and dagger' to read! Detectives and mercenaries are all stories made true in this place, for me...but if I'm receiving advice from a legend, especially one as proven as you, then I ought to take it seriously. This place we're in is itself 'legendary', after all!

Maybe such note-taking will help better keep track of all the mysterious goings-on with gods and the like...I must admit, I'm still left wanting after that little 'speech'. So maybe recording down specifics will shed new light at a later date...

you really don't have to butter me up.
i'm no legend, i'm just another person in the crowd.
as far as i'm concerned, i'm no different than anyone else here.

i feel you, though.
that speech was pretty awful.
the name didn't ring any bells, either.
it'd be nice if we didn't have to deal with so many mysteries, but...
i suppose that's wishful thinking, huh?

i look forward to reading what your notes have to say about this, though.
if there's any info i can give you to help collaborate things, let me know.
