[Video] Afternoon Llama 18

[bakegarasu]

[Otoha looks uncomfortable, but he needs to put his face to the message to get it across.[

It's Otoha. This is a message for Red team, but I don't really care if other teams listen in. It's not a secret.

Lightning still hasn't shown back up after the mission, but her stuff's still here. ... If anyone on Red team needs anything... I mean, we're all pretty independent, but I can be the... point person if someone needs something.

Not hard to find me, I'm usually in the training gym or greenhouse. Room's upper 1:A.

I'll help figure stuff out until she gets back.

A family of royalty or family of warriors? ( He's curious, but nods at the information curious about that as well though its better to ask the source. )

[bakegarasu]

… A family of criminals, actually. I was born and raised in my local yakuza group - organized crime. Some… awful shit. I can’t feel pain, so they realized I wouldn’t slow down in a fight when I got hurt. My job was to kill who they wanted me to kill. Not quietly, the idea was usually to ‘send a message’.

Got out of it recently. Now I’m the guardian of my city. In the - the will of the city picked me to look out for everyone, human and nonhuman alike.

[almukhtar]

( Ah, yes. He's run into them before weird as that is. Card games are serious shit, am I right? Though when the man shares that he got out, a smile warmed Atem's lips. ) Not all warriors are born as such. I'm thankful you got out. It's difficult to, I imagine.

( And he could see how someone like this would be very beneficial for an organization like that. ) I do not have a lot of experience with a straight blade, myself. More accustomed to a curved one; axes, scythes, and the like. Perhaps you'll teach me sometime?

[bakegarasu]

Yeah. It was... messy on all sides.

[That's a... gentle way of putting it.]

And... sure, when you feel comfortable. It's... mm. Corny as it sounds... it'll be good to see those skills used to protect people, not kill them.

[almukhtar]

( A nod. He gives space for a moment or two of silence. Could only imagine. Remembered Jounnochi, and his attempts to remove himself from a street gang. And that was only a street gang. Teenagers acting tough. Something as big and organized as Yakuza could only be so much more worse.

Atem inhales, and exhales a small laugh; a hand waving it off. ) Please, just wait until you hear one of my friendship speeches. You're in good company for corny. ( Listen, he's aware of SOME things he'll thank you. Though he does somehow manage to always make them sound more like orders than let's be friends but details. ) It is not so different from my duties back home.

[bakegarasu]

Heh. Not my sort of thing.

[Anyway.]

… Yeah? What did you do at home?

[almukhtar]

( Between you and him, he's not spectacular at it either unless he's leading the charge of said friendship or teamwork but you know. Do as he says not as he does and all that. He's come a long way, at least. Still, the answer marks an amused turn upward in Atem's lips. )

Pharaoh ( is his answer. )

[bakegarasu]

... You know what, sure.

[He's been on this train long enough that whatever bullshit makes sense. There's a blue guy on the train, there's a supersoldier, there's a thousand and one different weird things.]

['Pharaoh' is comparatively normal. It's not like he bows to anyone anyway.]

[Well. Maybe one entity. But not him.]
