[locked to dept of the enma] video; un: sannan

[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.]

[Even Fukuda knows better than to say "your death."]

Mm, I know that you were involved with a disagreement within the factions formed within the unit?

[threateningly]

[Say it, coward.]

That's the story, yes. Though it seems to be true enough for others, the rumors of my death in my own timeline were in fact quite premature. I'm still alive, more or less. My opinions on the organization did suffer, that much holds true.

[holeful]

[No!!!!]

Well, hopefully you don't end up with the same opinion of the department! And you can ask me if you need help with any other technology things, Sannan-san!

[threateningly]

[No fun. He thinks it's hilarious.]

The Department seems to have many capable people working for it, though some seem unconfident. I hope I can help those individuals grow. However, I would appreciate knowing more of the ins and outs of the technology here. That may be the one area I'm less than confident in thus far.

[holeful]

Well that's perfect! I don't know much about being a cop or fighting, but I know plenty about how computers work!!

[threateningly]

Then we might well benefit from an exchange of skills, indeed. I can always teach you some of what I know, in return. I know my reputation has to precede me, or rather the Shinsengumi's reputation precedes me.

[holeful]

Oh, I don't know if I really have what it takes to learn how to use a sword, Sannan-san....

[threateningly]

Have you ever tried?

[holeful]

Well, swords are illegal to own, for the most part, in modern Japan, so no.

[threateningly]

[THINGS HE WASN'T TOLD YET.]

I see. How did that come about? I suppose they were supplanted by newer technology...?

[holeful]

Well, yes, but guns are mostly banned as well? It was a safety issue, crime rates went down when people weren't able to get weapons to do the crimes with.

[Says Fukuda, drill wielding sextuple murderer.]

[threateningly]

[Sometimes you do a little murder as a treat?]

That does make sense. I should hope it's peaceful enough that there's no need for such things.

[holeful]

Mm, in Japan at least I'd say yes! Since World War II at least.
