[locked to sutoku alliance] video, un: levirage
Hello, everyone!
[on the screen is a polite-looking person with messy green hair and purple eyes. they give a wave and smile with their whole face from behind their white-rimmed glasses.]
My name is Leviathan Astrape—Levi, if you'd all like—and let me be the first to welcome you to the Sutoku Alliance! What we do here is a little more up in the air than other factions, but I think that just gives us the freedom to be who we are. If you're not sure what to do next, just keep your ear to the ground and get to know as many people as possible! It really can't hurt in the long term, and it's always better to know more than to know less.
[they don't sound stiff as they're saying it, like they have some practice with public presentations like this, but anyone watching the tracking of their eyes could probably tell that they're reading off cue cards.]
And on that note, we have a few names to know. They'll spend some time introducing themselves, I'm sure, but please keep an eye out for Artemy, Kim, Xingqiu, Yuri, Ydris, Marie, and Cloud. [a pleasant smile as they get to the end of the list.] Please also look out for Emily Dyer, especially if you need any kind of medical assistance or you're interested in helping out there. And our lieutenants within the alliance are Matoba Seiji and, of course, the death-defying Sakamoto Ryouma.
[they gesture in front of them with an open palm towards the person behind the camera.]
You're coming in during exciting times, everyone. We just had a bit of a shake-up at the Tanabata festival. The daughter of an important financial magnate has been kidnapped by an enemy of Toraguma, and though we haven't heard any orders from the Daitengu quite yet, I think we all know how things like this play out.
[and bringing both their hands in front of them, at waist level, they smile and give a polite little bow.]
So please, take this time to get to know your fellow alliance members. [they look towards the camera, then glance at their lapel, where they have a pin with the kanji for sutoku. they laugh like they knew they were forgetting something, and look back up towards everyone else.] And don't forget to pick up your official faction pin from most places within our area if you're interested.
[they wave goodbye, then stand there for a couple seconds. without the feed cutting, they walk forward towards the camera and start talking much more casually.]
Was that okay? Getting those names right was harder than I expected, and I even cut out a lot of the last names. I don't know how you did it the first time.
Hehe, y' know, I wondered about that "death defyin'" part on paper, but hearin' ya say it like that makes it sound pretty heroic! And honestly, I'm pretty sure ya did way better with those names, now that I'm thinkin' about it...
[ anyone who isn't new here will recognise the voice that responds to them from behind the camera, especially with that accent. ryouma is pretty sure he botched a couple names last time, mostly for that same reason. he might be able to fake it and cover it when he's speaking his own language, but when it comes to foreign-sounding words all bets are off. ]
So that was perfect! I think ya gotta real knack for this sorta thing!
[ which... hmmm, take that with a grain of salt because this man long predated show business, but still!! judging by his tone, ryouma is very pleased since all his coaching and cheerleading and cue card holding paid off, in his opinion! sure the rest of the faction will agree... right? ]
((this is a mingle post! feel free to threadjack and get to know everyone within the faction. and thank you again to min for contributing ryouma here!))

[A pause. He starts digging around in his hoodie, before presenting a little pink orb to the camera. His Son, Bong Water! With the press of a heart-shaped button on its belly, its tiny little face lights up, and a tiny little propeller starts whirring away atop its head.]
Did you get to bring anything of yours here? I had this on me, so it came all the way to Hell. A rudimentary, basic drone, but still an asset to my performances.
[Said as Bong Water flies around his head jauntily, without any apparent controller or method of operation in sight.] Not that I expect this to impress you, but I'm curious about whether you have something from home all the same.
im begging you to tell me that name is canon
Nnnot really, no. What tech I do still have on me seems like it might've been tampered with. I can't access half the functions on my computer and my goggles don't even sync up anymore.
it COULD be, but sadly, it is not yet. maybe i should let him crowdsource names :'}
Ah well.
This place has its potential too, and that's what matters. Even if he clicks his tongue at Donnie's tech being all fucky-wucky here. NO LUCK...]
We'll both have to start from scratch, so it seems. That's alright! We've done so before, right? And in a new world like this...We'll find things we never could at home. Surely they have hobby shops in Sutoku territory, so we can get finer tools to at least try and get a move on.
Maybe we should have a race. See who gets a rudimentary lab off the ground first. It'd be good motivation.

They do say desperation breeds innovation. What kind of wager did you want to make? Bragging rights, or something a little more tangible?
no subject
So, if bragging rights don't sweeten it enough, then perhaps the loser has to help the winner at his set-up for a week. Assistance only, as though we're the Igor to the other's Frankenstein.
[He smiles, shrugs theatrically.] Either that, or a week's worth of snacks. That's all I can do.

[That's a very good point, however. Rui taps his knuckle against his chin, lips twisting in thought.] True...Considering what's on the line, my initial thought of a simple secure space with workbenches and tools might be a little too basic. Include all of that, but definitely soldering and metallurgy equipment, since we have that in common. Perhaps at least the look of our own space, our own specialties? And balloons don't count for me, since they're far too easy to obtain. I'm thinking a roll of plotter paper, while we're at it.
Also, a mini-fridge.
Just in case we get thirsty on the job.
