[threateningly]

[Sannan is dressed fairly formally, in Western clothes with two swords at his hip, so he looks sort of... official. Which might make this come off as way more passive-aggressive or official than is entirely intended. I mean, it's intended to be passive-aggressive, considering he is how he is, but he'll say the following with an utterly pleasant, head-tipped, eyes somewhat closed smile.]

First, let me introduce myself. My name is Sannan Keisuke, a recent arrival. I have been given the privilege [the way he says privilege tho] of joining the ranks of the Department of the Enma. I'm quite unfamiliar with this sort of technology, so forgive me if I do something incorrectly.

[He shifts slightly.] To the point then. I, and several of my fellow new arrivals, have been experiencing difficulty acquiring information about certain aspects of our duties. It must also be noted that fellow Lost Souls who shall remain nameless, but who report to other factions, have been greeted with information about rules, regulations, leadership, and even dress codes.

One wonders, then, if there are any such requirements for our faction. This is merely a personal inquiry, as I have little desire to pin any one person to responsibility they do not wish to hold. Therefore, if someone with more tenure and experience could see fit to enumerate upon such things for those of us newly arrived, I will gladly facilitate dissemination of such information to fellow newcomers, and alleviate any burden upon those already far busier than myself.

Thank you for your time, and for your efforts which have preceded our arrival. We will all assuredly do our utmost to do honor to the tasks set before us. [Thinking back. To arrival. And sharks.] No matter how interesting they may be.

[And he parts that whole thing with a formal bow.]

[faceturnrevolution]

Agreed. I'm plenty familiar with commlinks, but this..."smart phone" is significantly more complicated in it's use.

[Especially if you're blind and can't see the screen.]

1/2

[parasaito]

[Not that he expected her mask to falter at the first jab. It would actually be a bit disappointing if it did.]

Yes, being enthusiastic is good and all, but that's not what I meant.

[private] 2/2

[parasaito]

I meant to say it's obvious your enthusiasm to help has some ulterior motive.

[Cue the quote-fingers gesture added to emphasize his opinion on her word choice.]

[private]

[itstillhurt]

[Well, well, well. Aren't you fascinating?]

I'm sure I don't know what you mean. What more motive do I need than the satisfaction of a job well-done, and the assured success of my allies?

[sharpestsword]

Most procedures haven't changed but recent events will have to be taken into account. I'll send you what we have and you'll receive an updated copy when it's completed.

[sharpestsword]

That would be very appreciated and save me the trouble of assigning the task.

It's good to meet you too.

[sharpestsword]

It is still useful and will be updated as soon as possible. Any amendments to the document will be sent to you as well.

[killtime]

Sure. Real important. [ Wryly: ] Maybe the big man will make you head of the fucking Presentation Department.

[killtime]

Must have run out of pamphlets. Sorry.

[ She's not sorry. ]

[itstillhurt]

Oh, I hardly think there needs to be an entire department. I imagine most of us are quite capable of presenting ourselves professionally without assistance.

[killtime]

Yeah? Sounds like you have a vivid imagination.

[jigokumods]

Inspector, firstly;

I get it.

But also; go a little more easy on them, if you would? I would appreciate it.

[ She's so tired, Andy. ]

[itstillhurt]

What can I say? I've always been an optimist about people.

[killtime]

Babe, that's a personal problem. Don't need to bring it to work.

[killtime]

[ At length: ]

sure
if you say so
but for the record?
they can fucking take it, captain

[jigokumods]

Some of them. Others will become my problem. More of my problem than they already are.

[ Fuck, wait, rewind that. ]

Okay, I shouldn't. call them "problems". Look, just. As a favor.

[killtime]

alright fine
as a favor
you get my best behavior

[ Whatever the fuck that even means, coming from Andy. ]

[wingclip]

[You could cut yourself on that smile, is something she is very reservedly thinking right now.]

I was a warrior of sorts, as well as a healer who rehabilitated those injured in battle. I had a very specific enemy back home, so trying to find my bearings here has been... especially difficult.

[Especially when you're a demon slayer surrounded by, er, demons. How's that for luck?]

Ah, pardon me. You may call me Shinobu, Miss Azula.

[wingclip]

For the most part yes, although the department as a whole tends to work together when especially large events are taking place. You might suddenly find that someone more suited for administrative work rescuing residents from some unprecedented disaster!

But if I'm being honest... I think the continued efforts to keep the peace are important, and more vital than ever. I do believe justice and peace can exist in a place like this.

[She says that last word with only a small hint of contempt.]

If you ever need assistance out on the field, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

[itstillhurt]

[She arches an eyebrow.]

Just 'Azula' is fine, really, Shinobu. And don't worry- with such a broad and valuable skillset, I'm sure advancement won't elude you long.

[... it's hard to tell if it's flattery or if she's just really not good at being comforting.]

[holeful]

Well, I can certainly understand that. Is he going to officially make you the face of the department, then?

[parasaito]

[He's just insight(o)ful. It's in his name. (I'm sorry I love that pun)]

The "motive" is the part I don't know. [A meaningful pause.] Yet.

But if I were to guess, I'd say it's to gain authority as quickly as possible. Some people would do anything for the power to stand above and rule the masses.

[He's the son of an influential politician so he knows. How some people will lie or even kill for power. He does both himself, although for a different reason.]

[kikuichi]

[Every time he sees someone new, he try to remember them. Whether they turn out to be fun is another matter.]

I'd be more than happy to help. Whether we're in the same shift, or happen to see each other, feel free to ask.

[Please, it might break up the monotony between exciting events. There's always after work...]

Of course, if I'm too busy, I'd simply let you know.

[kikuichi]

[Please don't ask about his name, even if he's expecting it at Some Point. He's enjoying his relatively obscure life (if you ignore the fact that he's a ranked member).]

And it's good to see you too. If it's not me, someone else might have step in to aid you instead.

[Like other Lost Souls. The crowd of youkai onlookers didn't seem to have any kind souls among them at the time.

Considering who Sannan is... Norimune feels like he should keep an eye on this man. Or an eye out? They're not even from the same world...]

[kikuichi]

I'm not a human, if it helps. Just a simple old spirit.

[Technically, yes. He is an old spirit.]

And yourself, if I may ask?
