Subject: Answers. He seeks them.
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.}

[halfdog]

Hard to tell coming from you. You're always so blunt or barely say anything!

[ This also might be meant in a more endearing way!? Progress, indeed! ]

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

[prince_of_the_moon]

Why waste words? {He hates chatter and sees no point in speaking when he can act instead.}

[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]

Understood.

We are drawn to the sea.

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

Search. Find the answers.

[halfdog]

So I don't gotta spend so much time reading between the lines when you can just come out 'n say it!

[prince_of_the_moon]

If you were calmer, you would understand.

[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.

[forwearemany]

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

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

[telepathicignorance]

Seems pretty fitting.

[prince_of_the_moon]

{He makes no promises, but he focuses on the strange contraption again.}

I will not keep secrets.

[prince_of_the_moon]

I have never traveled by ship.

[forwearemany]

Acknowledged. We look forward to the exchange of data.

(That's apparently enough for Legion.)

[telepathicignorance]

Seasickness is probably the biggest concern... might wanna take a short trip to see whether you have that problem. And they pack food but anything you bring will probably taste better.

There are rings you can buy that take you places instantly but they're pretty limited.

[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.

[prince_of_the_moon]

I do not fall sick. {He can be injured, but sickness? Nausea? Surely those are beneath him.}

Can they be trusted?

[prince_of_the_moon]

Mm. {Likewise. Sesshomaru understands that if he finds a way out, he should share it.}

What is your name?
