It seems I've ended up in a rather interesting place somehow.

Well, since we'll be spending the foreseeable future together, how about we try to get to know each other a little? My name is Ritsu Shikishima, and due to various circumstances, I have no world to return to (if it's okay, I'd rather not talk about it). And so, I can't say I'm really in a rush to get out of here or anything.

What about the rest of you? What were your homes like? Or, if that's too depressing a topic for some of you and you'd rather not dwell on the past, how about some questions to break the ice?
If you were to describe yourself with an idiom, which would you pick?
What do you like to do in your free time?
What's your favorite location here?

You can answer any or none of the above, or tell me something else about yourself you'd rather talk about instead. I don't mind.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting along with everyone here.

[Huh. The way Yamamoto's aura immediately changes definitely piques Ritsu's interest, and now he can no longer think of Yamamoto as just a happy-go-lucky teenager. Most likely, he's someone who has strong feelings about the wellbeing of others - someone with a strong sense of justice who can't tolerate selfishness, perhaps?

Ritsu meets Yamamoto's grin with a grin of his own.]

That's very reassuring to know. I'm so glad I met you before I could run into him. And... I'm relieved to hear that most people here are kind.

[Well Ritsu would figure that part out faster than most. Nine times out of ten he will be smiling, laughing, making a joke, or otherwise trying to make the situation better. The time to watch for is that tenth when he shows the side that somehow makes this young man a natural-born hitman.]

I think you'll like it here, even if you get homesick sometimes.


[By now they are the area where Yamamoto trains with the cyborg Genji, he's become a substitute father of sorts to the hitman and so he'll beam with pride and point out a decimated target.]

That's from earlier, Genji went all out, I'm hoping I can work one of his moves into my sword style like I did with Squalo's.

[As he talks he is moving around, grabbing his makeshift bases and other things that he leaves up here. There are so few people inside the large dome that most things are left undisturbed.]

[Ritsu watches carefully as Yamamoto introduces the area. This is more than he was expecting, frankly. He tries to note the names down in his head; he's always attentive when other people are talking, so it'd look scatterbrained of him to forget a name.

So Genji did that and is teaching Yamamoto sword moves, and it sounds like someone named Squalo did so, too.]

You're a swordsman as well? What type?

[tsuyoi_ame]

[Yamamoto is a talker, especially when talking about things he loves, baseball, swords, his boyfriend and his friends and family. All his favorite subjects and currently, they are touching on quite a few of those so he is happy.

Yes, Genji is here, Squalo is not and of course, Yamamoto misses him but the Cyborg taking him under his wing certainly helps. He is clearly proud with the way he grins to how his shoulders draw up straight when talking about his sword style.]

I am, I use my old man's Shigure Souen Ryu, I could show you sometime

[suicideprototype]

[His old man's... So swordsmanship runs through his family. Ritsu thinks he's starting to get a clearer picture of who Yamamoto is - he's so forthcoming that Ritsu would almost be convinced he's the type who hides no secrets, if it weren't for his belief that there isn't a human being alive who isn't harboring a secret of some sort.]

When you have the chance, I'd love to see. You seem to be quite multitalented.

[What with baseball and now this.]

[tsuyoi_ame]

[It does, maybe someday he will pass the style on, he hopes to because if not it does die with him. He does not see himself as such but it could be said he is both his father's and Squalo's legacy, a combination of the two men who trained him and inspired his love of the sword.

Genji has only strengthened that love in his time on Anchor and added his own influence, in the end, the young man will carry his mentors with him in every fight.]

Sure if you don't mind getting up early, I'm usually up here practicing first thing in the morning every day!

[He chuckles at the compliment, he just likes to do a lot of things, he also helps grow food for the colony, has built a fence, he still needs to learn to drive one of the vehicles but Poison seems like a good teacher for that. He is also good at most any sport he is given a chance at.]
