Warnings: Sesshomaru being a grump.

{Silver hair flies in the wind and soft white fur is gently ruffled against a pale cheek. Sesshomaru is quite a striking presence wherever he goes, bearing the signs of his good breeding in the form of two crimson stripes on his cheeks and a purple crescent moon on his forehead. His ears taper into delicate points, too, and his eyes are the color of rich amber. When he speaks, he is accustomed to being listened to and obeyed.

Thus his first appearance on the network is dramatic, yet brief.}

Speak.

{His low voice brooks no argument and his expression is cold. He is difficult to read in the best of circumstances and his current predicament doesn't necessarily signify anything good.}

I am Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands. What have you discovered about this world and the rifts?

[ Inuyasha does not know how this stupid device works and honestly he’s too stubborn to try to ask.

The screen is… on? But it’s not pointing in any particular direction. There is, however, a voice that is very familiar coming from the other side. ]

Don’t really think your “title” is really gunna get you anywhere here.

{Video} How embarrassing, Inuyasha.

[prince_of_the_moon]

{Must he explain this stupid technology that he doesn't truly understand himself? Aggravation rises in his chest and he fights it down. Hey, that's progress.}

If I am recognized, it will. If not, at least it is known.

Rude!!

[halfdog]

[ He’ll always be your annoying little brother, so now you got to deal with it! :) ]

We’re outsiders here! Ain’t no way you’ll be treated all high and mighty.

[ You don’t have Jaken here to kiss your ass, he means. ]

He is teaching you.

[prince_of_the_moon]

{That thought is met with more fondness than fury. Progress!}

Was that my expectation?

{You kick people until they show respect. No, actually, he is above that now. Damn.}

[telepathicignorance]

ATNAM has some ongoing research into that sort of thing. They're excavating a temple or something.

[prince_of_the_moon]

Where is the temple?

[telepathicignorance]

Under the sea. I think you'll have to join the research teams to be able to access it.

(The creature that shows up on the device is basically guaranteed to be like nothing Sesshomaru has ever seen, being both robotic and from another planet.)

We also seek answers to this question.

[prince_of_the_moon]

{He stares for a few moments longer than usual, perplexed. Then he looks away, nodding.}

Search. Find the answers.

[forwearemany]

Affirmative. Perhaps if we find them, we shall share.

(Cooperation towards mutual goals. Would this man be amenable to such an exchange?)

[deepstar]

"Lord of the Western Lands" that don't actually exist here. While I can appreciate getting to the point, your lordliness, you might want to rethink that introduction.

Talk about déjà-vu.

voice

[prince_of_the_moon]

It is my title nonetheless. {Why should it change because he was kidnapped?}

Explain.

[deepstar]

Sure, but a title is only as good as the authority that comes with it. That's not exactly something we currently have.

You kind of should build rapport first. Feels like I'm repeating a scenario from a few years ago with two people I used to know. They barreled right into a conversation by introducing themselves the same as you.

[Well; This one had a flare for the dramatics it seems as the strange looking individual pressed the masses for information about this world and the rifts at large. Despite the others somewhat brash demeanor Twilight will indulge them with his knowledge acquire thus far looking to exchange information in turn.

With a courteous bow of his head as an open palmed hand pressed over the right lapel of his suit coat, Twilight smiling sincerely with his kindhearted introduction.]

Good day to you Sesshomaru, my name is Loid Forger. It is an honor and privilege to meet one with such a distinguished title!

[Given the situation the renowned spy makes a bold assumption.]

I take it you are a newcomer to these shores as well?

video

[prince_of_the_moon]

{His whole existence is dramatic; this is but a taste of it. When you are a pure demon, the dramatics can't be avoided, it seems. Sesshomaru is hardly alone in that in his world. He is just one of - if not the - strongest.}

Mm. {What else is he to say? Either this man is being genuine, he is sucking up to him or he is trying to taunt him. The various outcomes do not concern him, but he has no reason not to be honest.}

I am. What have you learned?

[averagedad]

[It would serve no purpose to provoke the other especially on initial greetings having little to no understanding what type of person they might be even if they were a bit standoffish. For behind this false facade Twilight could be quite cold himself so who was he to judge based on first impression?]

Ultimately I know very little in the grand scheme of things but I was able to ascertain we have been brought here by something called 'rifts' that have incomprehensible powers. The local populace have aptly named us 'riftfarers' who have been brought here to these foreign lands.

[A beat. A hand framing his chin deep in thought before the pointer finger raises in front of his face to make light of another key note of information.]

Aw- I had almost forgotten! Have you been informed of the tattoos which avail us otherworldly powers?

Video ; id: bloodthirstydawn

[bloodthirstydawn]

Oh hey!! You figured this out faster than I thought!

[Moroha is impressed! She sounds genuinely happy about it too. Towa had shown her her phone back in their world but she's had to get Tadashi to really show her how to use the shellphone. Still, its something seeing her Uncle on it.

Yeah, she's never going to get use to this]

So, uh, how goes the information gathering? Have you gotten to explore more?

[Sesshomaru you really need to learn to be...better with your words. Not everyone is going to answer to something like that. Here Moroha thought she came off harshly sometimes but he takes the cake.]

Video

[prince_of_the_moon]

{He might have gotten assistance, but shhh no one needs to know that. He is a big powerful demon and phones won't faze him. Be gentle with your old man uncle, Moroha.}

My power has been reduced. {Significantly and it has left him unhappy.} Even Bakusaiga's force is limited. I have not tested it on a demon, but I can sense that it is blocked.

{Why be personable when you can get to the point? He detests wasting his time on frivolities like appealing to the masses.}

[bloodthirstydawn]

[It's okay! She's here to help]

Ah. I see.

[Yup. That's not good but she's not that surprised.]

My Kurikaramaru doesn't hit as hard and my own spiritual powers felt weaker when I got here too. Must be something with this place. I've heard others complain about their powers. So you're not alone there.

[Not that that helps]

But hey, even with things reduced, blocked or whatever you're still one of the strongest I know around so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

[At least she's in high spirits and trying to cheer him up]

video; un: circuslady

[circuslady]

S-speak?! Okay?!

[...:') don't mind her, please.]

Um... do you mean about how we got here? Not much about it other than we're here... and on the back of colossal sea animals!

[She's got SO MUCH INFO doesn't she?]

video

[prince_of_the_moon]

{He observes her and then looks away, his silver hair flicking against the fluffy mass on his shoulder.}

Then you know nothing. {Or...rather...she knows as much as he does.}

What is your name?

[circuslady]

[Oh... maybe that wasn't as helpful as she thought? She knows things, just nothing that would be helpful in this situation, though she is thinking that the fluffy white thing on his shoulder would be a pain to get blood out of.]

O-oh, I'm Yor! Yor Forger. My, ah, husband may know more than I do, he's very perceptive! I should ask him too if he's found anything. It could be a learning experience for both of us instead!

video; un: desirestruth | walks in late with starbucks hi hello

[desirestruth]

...Bark.

[Yeah this lady is less than impressed with you, sir.]

There is little to learn. The people here know little of them, nor the cause of our intrusion here.

video

[prince_of_the_moon]

Say something useful.

{He doesn't mind giving further orders.}

Then we must find those who do know. I am not so weak and cowardly that I must rely on men.

video

[desirestruth]

Then direct your questions to the Leviathan below your feet, instead of the men on it's back. Or had you not noticed that the ground you walk breathes?

[Skill issue, sir!]

It is of no use either way. Whatever it is that brought us here, relic or sorcerer holding it, has not been found. These men the rifts dragged here search for it.

We are returned to the exact moment we were brought from, when it's grip loosens. If you're concerned about keeping your appointments, don't be.
