[ He's an older Japanese man, his expression is friendly and the crow's feet around his eyes crinkle with his smile of greeting. He is an old-school chain smoker, so best bet a cigarette will be going back and forth between his lips while he talks. ]

Nice to meet you. I thought I would introduce myself. Daigo Dojima.

[ A little salute with his cigarette. ]

I'm from Tokyo, Japan. I'm still trying to get my bearings, I think. No magic or monsters. Not in my Tokyo, anyway.

With that in mind, I'd be interested in improving my... self-defense skills in this new territory. Apparently I've fallen into Autumn, if anyone is open to teaching a magic novice.

On the more mundane side, I'm well-trained with a handgun and street fighting. They're skills I should keep polished up though, yeah?

[ Why is this mellow old Japanese guy well-trained with a gun and kicking people's teeth out? 🤷

He looks off lazily, exhaling smoke. ]


I think that's all the business on my docket, though. Anyone catch anything good?

[ His crooked grin is only a little provoking. It would be fun to win at fishing. ]

[ He's set up around any intriguing pools to take a shot with a tried and true fishing rod. He will gladly say hello to anyone else who sets up. If you hunger for monster fish hijinks, please by all means. ]

There's a shooting range I've used in the past here, if that's your kind of thing.

[ He's curious though, eyes flicking over what he can see in the video. No gun in sight, but there's no sense in brandishing a weapon just to ask about brushing up on skills. ]

I have some spare .22's and a maintenance kit, as long as you take care of the latter. Not sure if the bullets are any good for you.

[ He tilts his head to the side slightly as he waves a prosthetic hand dismissively. The concept of gangsters isn't really different from world to world, aside from minor differences. But Vash has never really judged someone based on what organization they're with or what they wear. Eyes are the window to someone's soul, or something like that. ]

I bear the power of Autumn and know some magic. I suppose I could guide you.

It is not an inconvenience to assist.

[ that is technically his role, even if he's not the warm and fuzzy type. ]

Do you have a weapon you wish to test out?

[personal profile] nilhilistic 2023-05-29 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
It is possible for any weapon, but your expertise must be seen to first.

I suppose a sword or a bow could do nicely. I do not know this . . . gun so I cannot speak for it.

Street fighting?

[She's probably not going to be able to help him on the magic front and has no idea what a handgun is, but when it comes to fighting...]

I might be able to help you to keep those skills sharp... but before I promise anything we ought to be sure. I wouldn't want to hurt you.

[Ah, that might be her teasing. Or maybe she's serious. It could be a little of both.]

I'm game. When and where?

Greetings, Daigo-san.

[ It's Mister Cigarette Man! She bows her head slightly in greeting. ]

It would be unwise to bring a sword to gun fight, so I am afraid I cannot assist in honing your skills. [ No street fighting for her, thanks. ] I hope you are able to find some people who fit what you are looking for, however.

[ She will cheer for him!! ]

I had caught some small fish, but I do not think it was worth entering... What about you?

An electric catfish?

[ O_O She lives in the land of thunder, but she's never heard of such a thing before. And he got zapped, too! That's somehow terrifying. Is it? She doesn't know. But fish can be fearsome creatures, too. ]

How big was it? I hope you did not get injured!

Couldn't teach you jack or shit about magic 'cuz I'm still learning it myself, but I'm good for regular ol' fighting.

[he shrugs a shoulder] Ain't caught shit yet, though. Working on it.

[it's true, he looks very Plain and Boring and most importantly, Normal]

All over, but right now I'm hanging in the Autumn Segment. Thought maybe that'd give me some luck, but I was wrong.

[Unlike all the friendly folks chiming in, this poster just asks the following:]

No magic or monsters? How mundane. Is it safe to assume that all of the lifeforms there lack the ability to manipulate aether?

If so, how does one keep their soul intact?

...

You mean to say that your people just "exist" and that's it? With no understanding as of "why" or "how"?
