001: Group Introductions - TEXT

[tarnishedavenger]

[During a lull in the party, Armstrong taps out a quick message to the network. Not that private one, he doesn't trust it. They can answer whenever they like, so long as he gets an answer. The trick would be wording it.]

So, we're all in this for now. You've had your welcome cake, but you can't meet everyone in a party, no matter how hard you try. But, since we've all been encouraged to sign up with Jorgmund, I figured now would be a good time to get some introductions done. Talk about any specialties we might have.

Share information that we feel comfortable sharing. This isn't to pressure anyone or to force out any dark secrets.

[Not where watchful eyes can see, at least.]

Besides, I prefer doing this to making a cute information sharing game.

So, please, make your own threads within this post to keep everything organized.

[The screen shakes for a little while Dojima tries to get himself in the center of the frame. Let's see...]

The name is Ryotaro Dojima, call me Dojima. No honorifics needed.

[Because it seems nobody uses them around here, anyway. It'd be pointless to insist about that]

I work as a detective in Yasoinaba, Japan. I have some firearms training, and good fighting and self-defense skills. Don't rely much on me for diplomacy, but if you ever need anything I'm willing to help.

[He looks aside for a moment. How to bring this up...]

...that's all for now.

[Dojima seems rather unsure about something, like he has something rolling around in his head and doesn't have the slightest idea what to think about it]

[valkywhee]

What's Japan?

[She hasn't noticed a lot of other people mentioning places, and this is one she's never heard of.]

[becauseimacoward]

It's this island on the eastern end of the world, not too far away from the mainland. Does that sound familiar?

[Perhaps Japan doesn't exist where she's from, but an equivalent does?]

[valkywhee]

Is your planet flat? How does that work?

[How else could there be an "eastern end"?]

[becauseimacoward]

No, it's just a way of talking! There's the west, and there's the east. That's just the terms -- the planet is as round as yours.

[...hers is round too, isn't it? Gosh, if he has to explain how the planet is round that's...going to be something a bit difficult. He has never been good at explaining things, hah]

[valkywhee]

But relative to what!

[They do use a standard flat map projection in RWBY, Nora's just...like that.]

[becauseimacoward]

...I'll get back to you later on that.

[He has no idea. Relative to what, indeed.]
