[tsuyoi_ame]

[He fiddles with the screen after he first appears for a moment. Once he has it set he gives a big thumbs up to the camera with a smile. Excuse the slightly sweaty teenager in his sword practice clothing. He has been training when he gets the chance.]

Yo, I'm Takeshi Yamamoto, are there any places good for sword training?

[He has been exploring but he misses the dojo where he usually trains. He has one more question but first, a sparrow who looks to be made of rain flutters around his head while a pup with three short swords with blades appearing rain made as well pops up to lick his face. He laughs.]

Oh, Jiro and Kojiro say hi too. Does anyone need any help with projects or jobs? [He would like to keep training but also get involved in helping around Anchor any way he can.]

[bakudan_bambino]

It looks like you've already been training.

[tsuyoi_ame]

Yeah, I couldn't sit still.

[bakudan_bambino]

Was it with the flames then? Don't you think training somewhere a sword is not meant to be means you'll improve with obstacles?

[tsuyoi_ame]

They don't seem to work any differently here. Plus, I think they were restless. Huh, you mean like when I trained with Squalo?

[redwinekindofgirl]

Sword training? What kind of place are you from?

[Okay, so... he's not the only guy here who uses a sword, that's true, but Julie's still going to ask the question.]

And I guess-- you any good at farming?

[tsuyoi_ame]

Yes, I haven't had a chance to train with these guys inside. [He gestures to his companions. The pup looks normal, the sparrow and short swords are not made of rain but in fact, his dying will flames. He is a rain attribute, calm and friendly.] I'm from Namimori, Japan

[He's a hitman, legit. Not that he would ever call himself one as he does not see it that way so much. But when it comes down to it that is what he is, a natural-born one at that. Because in this version of Japan there are Mafia and his best friend who happens to be the Tenth Vongola Boss and his friends who have become his Guardians regularly engage in the battle to save the day. You know, just a typical Tuesday]

I've helped the old lady who lives by us, I'd be glad to learn more! [Yes, he is excited to work, do anything actually. He likes meeting new people.]

[redwinekindofgirl]

Japan, cool.

[Julie, for all her 'worldly' experience in all things terrible over the course of her lifetime, has never actually left America. Japan might have been one of the places she'd have visited if the world hadn't gone to complete shit before she'd even hit her teens.]

And great, we've got an agriculture area, you been able to check it out yet?

[tsuyoi_ame]

Yeah, it's the best! What about you?

[Dude, she met the right guy then, his dad owns a sushi shop, he fights with a sword, he has an Akita, he is a baseball freak. In general, Yamamoto is a product of his home and proud of it. It's not the same as going to Japan but she can always hear stories?]

No, there's a lot of places to go through here, I can head there next.

[mustact]

[ That's an unusual name. At least, it's different from any he's ever heard. Most people he's met have had English-sounding names despite being from entirely different planets and distant futures.

It's not something he's realised until now, but it does make him wonder. ]

The top levels may be your best option for training. There is a lot of space. However, I would recommend not wandering too far into the forest.

[Video]

[tsuyoi_ame]

[That name would belong to a Japanese youth from Earth, though maybe a little more hyped than your typical Earth space. What with mafioso teenagers and dying will flames.

The language translator that turns his speech into English instead of his native tongue even reverses his name into western order. Where he would normally introduce himself as Yamamoto Takeshi. He will find it interesting that people may call him more by his first name here than his last as is the custom at home.]

Really? Is it that dangerous? [He has had training in the forest thanks to Squalo, he kind of thought about using it if he can't find a dojo. Somewhere with a few more obstacles, after all, he has learned he won't always fight on a clear battlefield. It's his duty to clear it. He wants obstacles, a challenge.]

No dojos or training facilities? [Man, he realizes again how lucky they were in the future to have somewhere to train.]

[Video]

[mustact]

There is a gym, but I believe it is in all our interests to keep it intact.

[ Sure, he doesn't know how skilled Takeshi is with a sword, but he's sure they'd rather there was no damage anywhere if they could avoid it. ]

[Video]

[tsuyoi_ame]

I used it before training! [Because health is important! From the looks of it, Yamamoto thinks maybe this guy can fight too. So he will ask.]

Do you think it would be a problem to clean out an empty building for one?

[He will do all the work himself, no big. Considering his outward demeanor it is a legit concern. When he goes into battle/practice/baseball mode it is another story and he doesn't tend to break things when training.]

[ Teenagers! People close to Ami's own age are rare birds around here, so this sudden influx of several teenagers all at once has definitely got her attention. Don't get her wrong, some of the adults are cool, too, but it's always a little awkward being friends with dudes who are old enough to be her dad. ]

hi takeshi! welcome to anchor!
my name is ami aihara
for sword training im not sure
but occasionally we do get monsters coming out of the basement to attack people
if you enjoy fighting then those incidents may be right up your alley!
there are also strange creatures living out in the wasteland
but i wouldnt recommend training out there
on account of all the radiation

[tsuyoi_ame]

[Yes, two of them that he can guarantee! And one, this one in fact who is friendly and out to get to know all the people. Old and young. It takes him a second, then he assumes she must be from somewhere other than Japan and that's why she uses his first name. What an interesting place.]


Yo Ami, nice to meet you!
Monsters out of the basement. I can help protect everyone. I don't like fighting, I just want to keep my friends safe. Does anyone go out there, ever? I don't plan on it, I promised a friend I'd stay safe. But it's good to know everything, right!.

[livingdeadgirl]

yeah ive been outside a couple times
there is actually an abandoned strip mall out there
with goods you cant find inside the colony
like one of the stores is a blockbuster video
and another one is a hot topic
that one is my favorite!
even if its from mars or something
i think theres another store too but i havent been to it yet
also there used to be a whole foods infested with zombies
but that disappeared a while ago

oh and i guess theres another city way out on the horizon
also abandoned
ive heard some buzz about us taking a trip there at some point
but i dont know the details

[tsuyoi_ame]

Really? Make sure you're safe. Is there a sports supply store?! I think those are American stores, we don't have those in Namimori, I'd like to check them out. I can go with you, some time, you can be my adventure guide! Zombies? No way, I guess if aliens are real zombies can be too. I'll ask around, if anyone knows, that sounds interesting!

Wonderful, now the new arrivals are coming in with their own vermin.

Every time I think this place can't put forward any worse standards, I am unpleasantly surprised to be proven wrong.

video;

[tsuyoi_ame]

.............Amazing! What are you? [Excuse him because he is pretty sure he is staring at a robot unlike he has ever seen and that is pretty cool. He'll catch up to the conversation.]

Huh? Vermin? Oh, you mean these guys? They aren't vermin, they're my partners, they help me fight. [He is still smiling, no offense seems to be taken because he rolls like that. Instead, he pulls out a box. Flames dance along the ring on his finger and he inserts them into the box when it opens he issues a return command and both of his companions along with the unique short swords disappear inside.]

See, they won't cause any trouble.

Re: video;

[vosseeker]

[ Starscream does not appreciate being called a what, and the snarl he offers in response is pretty clear indication of that. The flashy disappearance of the companions and the swords does get a bit of a double-take from the mech, at least enough to take the edge off his ire. ]

... How did you do that?

[ Some kind of strange Deployer ability? Who knows... this place does summon all kinds. ]

[Genji is holding the camera with one hand, the metal mask giving away nothing expression wise, but he tilts his head to look at the young man on the other side of the screen.]

Sword training?

[His slightly mechanical voice sounds DELIGHTED.]

You can train with me.

Video

[tsuyoi_ame]

[He is as eager as the pup in the feed with him at this offer. He may miss his last teacher, the guy was loud and a handful but he taught Yamamoto a lot.]

Yes, I have all my gear! Really?! I'd like that. [this guy with his gear looks crazy strong like Squalo, no way he won't get stronger if he trains with someone like him.]

[arcadedragon]

Of course! You have some training yes? And swords, I see that.

[And a dog to hold said swords. An adorable dog to hold swords. This might be his favorite person he's ever met here already.]

Is Jiro the dog or the bird?

voice; @iceicebaby

[hypothermic]

Depends.

You wanna come out of it alive?

voice; @iceicebaby

[tsuyoi_ame]

[He is staring at his device, okay, then again, he has had some close calls in training because well, mafia be crazy bro.....]

Huh? Of course I do.

[hypothermic]

Assumptions make an ass of you and me.

Aren't you wannabe samurai types always going on and on about being the best?

The worst that can happen is he turns you into a human kebab.

Who doesn't like a good kebab?
