TEST DRIVE MEME ⚔️️ 6
![]() Premise ⚔️️ Rules ⚔️️ FAQ ⚔️️ Taken ⚔️️ Reserves ⚔️️ Apply ⚔️️ Locations ⚔️️ Bestiary ⚔️️ Top-Levels Only ⚔️️ ![]() A ⦿ Soaking in Your Arrival
Regardless of what you were in the middle of, you and your familiar have been magically pulled into the world of Avalon just above the Bay's waters. After a brief plunge into the Bay, the rush of water filling your ears and soaking up into every creak and crevice of your body, you may need to cough to clear your airways when you rise above the surface. It's still chilly, but not enough that you can't manage on your own. The Lady of the Lake is swimming around under the water, but seems to be focusing on coordinating a band of mossatees to help rescue any wayward new arrivals. Mossatees are a special Avalonian manatee that is green in color and has what appears to be a patches of grass or other short plant life growing on its back. While some are fully green, many sport blooming flowers or fairy circles of mushrooms. If anyone tries to ask the Lady of the Lake for directions, she will direct you to Archimedes at the Rent-a-Ride. Those with animal magic may get their info from the manatees, though may notice that they're really overly friendly and have zero concept of personal boundaries. Everyone may notice they have no concept of personal space, as they will happily run right into someone's belly for a snoot squishing. The shores themselves are littered with new arrivals complaining their way up a staircase carved into the walls of the White Cliffs. There is no railing, so be careful, but if you do fall, be prepared for a mysterious sand hand to reach out of the side of the cliffs to catch you. The hand will pat you atop the head twice before retreating back into the wall. This is the Cliff Beast; despite the name, he is quite friendly. *Reminder: Your character's familiar may or may not be with your character in their initial plunge. If the familiar isn't partial to water, it may meet your character on the beach or sit atop their head while they swim. Or if they are, they might splash about and swim alongside your character. Familiars have different personalities and body specs and we leave those up to the players. B ⦿ The Caravan to Camelot
These carriages use fae technology that combats weight, so your character will be able to get in regardless of whether they're light as a feather or weigh two tons. The carts have air conditioning when it's hot, heating when it's cold, and a mystical shield to protect from bugs. There is also a mini-bar that pops out of the console with nip bottles. Characters can use their smartphones to connect to Camelot's internet service, ![]() C ⦿ The Red Spring
Unfortunately, due to a bee infestation and massive amounts of rain, the hot springs of the Red Springs are not available this month! Instead, an underground salt cave is offered as a way to relax and unwind. Gather around in the rejuvenating, dimly lit caves and breathe in the relaxing effects of salt crystals. Feel the sand between your toes, or if you don't like sand, try one of the many pools with tiny garra rufa for a fish pedicure. Or, lie down in a recliner and stare up at the "stars"-- magic sparkles in the ceiling that move to spell out single-word concepts you may be experiencing. (Maybe you're relaxed? You might get something like "Chill." Find your relaxation buddy hot? Just be careful to look away before the stars spell "Thirsty" to the whole room.) The springs are also home to a large training grounds just outside town limits, where there are teachers who will teach basic magic safety and help you discover what kind of magic you have together with other new arrivals. Try target practice, obstacle courses, meditation circles, and other ways to try to figure out just what you can do... if you didn't already have an accidental discovery on the ride there. ![]() As it turns out, a mythical land that's been around for a few centuries has a few things in common with many modern worlds. It's got the internet, and games have evolved a little bit past hoop trundling and draughts. April, being the traditional month of mirth and games and lots of rain making it hard to have fun outdoors, is the time for Camelot City Gaming Convention, affectionately shortened to CameCon. Come into the large convention center located in the south part of town, get dry, and check out some of the awesome things to do. A ⦿ Couchless Co-Op
Or plug your phone into the stage podium and get away from the humdrum fantasy life by joining in a live-movement game that combines synchronous kinetic and light magic. Move your body in the vortex illusion of your favorite rhythm dance game with a buddy! Or maybe you're more into the free-style gaming of Grand Theft Automation with both friends and strangers-- step onto the illusionary stage itself to explore crawling cityscapes and live the life of crime you always dreamed of... at least the cops won't really arrest you if you do it here. Just make sure if you use magic you remember you're on a stage and don't accidentally send some flying off at a poor convention go-er just past the illusion stage. B ⦿ Arthurian RP in your Arthurian RP
Either way, once your role is decided, put your acting skills to the test! ...and if you don't have any, well, they have costumes that will help you get into the mood with a little dress-up and props that will magically give you sword skills... though only while using the dull-edged plastic props. Or you can just sit on the sidelines and have a picnic on the concrete floor of the center with a potential new pal and watch other people play-- there's a lovely little buffet table with pastries, coffee, and juice in the corner. C ⦿ It Figures...
Of course, when the rain breaks through and floods the exhibition room, there's a lot of mass hysteria as people scream and climb up onto tables, trying to protect their merch above all else. Hurry, help someone else up onto your table before their ent dakimakura they just purchased gets wet! Only you can save the gamers from water! ..Or that's what you thought, until a second later the electricity goes out and you're left in a total electricity blackout in the convention hall. It may be a good idea to use some magic to try to light the way and find a way out of the flooded hall... ![]() A ⦿ Keep Your Vines to Yourselves
Hopefully, you've got some kind of destructive magic that can help you fight off the overly friendly vines as you head into the forest to investigate the strange reports citizens have been making of their friends and family disappearing in the generally friendly, if odd forest when they've gone to fetch herbs or other supplies, gone on walks, or who knows what else from the forest. It seems like the best way to get the vines to let go without magic is to tickle the person the vines have captured, so you really better hope you're ticklish... and there's someone willing to really go in on it. It takes a lot of laughter to get these vines to leave you alone! B ⦿ Selfies with Selkies
Take a trip up to the Archivist will lead them to find a book that includes information on the species: The Cereus de Anima. This giant flower rapidly grows when a seed from the Land of Rot transfers via someone's clothing to an appropriate forest environment and is known to absorb a piece of a person's essence from anyone it touches with its vines. People often seem to go missing for a short period of time when one of these appears, then come back behaving a little differently but ultimately don't seem to be in distress. No one is quite sure what the cause of this is. There doesn't seem to be any record of there being lasting damage, however questionable the plant is... The Archivist, upon seeing you researching the plant, says that he's heard some of the lake's residents just off of the Silent Shore have some experience with one. He hands you a couple baskets of some specially anti-rust enchanted parts and tells you he was supposed to deliver them to a Selkie man living in the lake for a project he's working on. You and a partner can make the delivery and ask your questions from him. The Selkie isn't going to be particularly friendly to fellow men, not trusting human men farther than he can throw them, but will decidedly try to seduce women as Selkie men are known to be extremely handsome and flirtatious with human women. Non-humans he will be neutral toward. It's best to go in pairs so you don't end up on a whirlwind candlelit beach picnic with a shirtless selkie in exchange for information about how to uproot a Cereus de Anima. (At the very least, the selkie will want you to take a selfie with him before you leave so that you have something to remember him by, and you'll always be welcome back if you change your mind.) Regardless of how much of a challenge it is for you to get to that point, as long as he gets the delivery from the Archivist, he'll eventually tell you and your traveling partner about how he heard that there used to be a village at the edge of the Dusklight Woods that was overrun with one of them, and that there's only one survivor who moved to in a cottage on the other side of the Pure of Heart Bridge.. Those familiar, yes, it is the old man that Morganna tried to kill and save in a quest a couple of months ago! Time to travel all the way back to the Pure of Heart bridge and make your way over to the cottage and talk to the man and it sure seems like this quest is long and tedious and you may be wondering if someone will have noticed you're gone... C ⦿ The Answer is No
Those who find out they've been replaced may want to return to Camelot quickly to try to reclaim their lives. Doppelgangers will attempt to kill their original if they come into contact with them when they aren't around other people, so you may need to flee for your life if you haven't gotten good enough at magic to defend yourself yet. Around other people, the doppelgangers will do their best to try to prove themselves the real person and since they were made from the original, will have the same memories as the original character so asking questions that "only ___ would know" may not work. Eventually it will come out that the doppelgangers have occasionally wriggling vines instead of spines underneath their clothing, if you're willing to check that to see who's real, but that won't be common knowledge. What can be found out from the old man at the Pure of Heart bridge if you choose to leave your doppelganger alone is that Cereus de anima doppelgangers can only live for a month without killing their original and absorbing the rest of their essence. However, if the original plant isn't taken care of with a special venom you can only obtain from certain creatures in the Forest of the Fisher King, the problem will just keep happening over and over until the city is overrun and becomes nothing but a breeding ground for the flower and its replicas. MOD NOTES: • All test drive prompts are open to anyone in the game at any time to create your own logs with, but this post should have top-levels by potential new characters only. Current characters may reply to any threads, but should not top-level comment on this post. • If your application is accepted, you may accept TDM threads as game canon as long as both players consent. Characters may begin threading as soon as their journal is accepted to the communities. • You can have any animal-style poncho you want! They are themed, not made from actual animals. No animals have been harmed in the making of these ponchos!! • TIMELINE: The resolution to the third prompt will be in April's event! The first two prompt sets will be during the first week of the month. The doppelganger problem and obnoxious traveling and research will be occurring for the second and third weeks of the month. • People with green magic may be able to fill something off about the doppelgangers, but may not be able to identify what it is right away. Blood mages will be able to feel that their blood feels the same as the original as they are essentially copies. Cognitive people will be able to use their magic normally except for hypnotic suggestion- the doppelgangers are immune to it, so while you may be able to find other ways to out them, hypnotizing people to tell the truth won't work this time. Doppelgangers are made from the essence of the person, so they will be able to access their phones and accounts. Note that the Cereus de Anima and doppelgangers are not fairies and cannot be contracted with. If a Death Mage attempts to possess a doppelganger, it will technically come in contact with the doppelganger's vine and may end up with more than one doppelganger depending on how many times they try it. Siphon magic can be used to destroy a doppelganger easily, however, the essence that was stolen from the original's soul may be destroyed in the process so it is not recommended as the original may start to feel as though they are no longer a whole person. • If nothing here tickles your fancy, try one of this month's Quests for your TDM prompt. • The first "Arrival" prompts are present on every TDM, but contain seasonal tweaks for flavor. All other prompts will change monthly. Make sure to read the Red Spring section on this month's even if you're normally familiar-- the springs are closed this month, check out the alternate prompts! • Questions about this TDM's content?

no subject
[HEY, HE KNOWS THAT LOOK!]
[A LOT of people give him that look.]
[A lot.]
[All the time.]
[He hates people.]
[This is why he became the Demon King, damn it!]
It's not that I'm religious!
[... WELL, OBVIOUSLY NOT!]
[But he means a "believer."]
[And he gives an irritated growl.] The monks of Japan force everyone to abide by their rules, whatever the people want otherwise, and consequently extort them with demented schemes about demons plaguing the countryside and claim so long as people just don't enjoy anything about life, then virtue alone shall save them -- as if a miserable existence is even worth prolonging.
[Look, he doesn't usually... ever...? Go on a "Buddhism sucks, Confucianism sucks, let's all go to hell, and live happily ever after," rant because --]
[The... obvious reasons. Genocidal extreme hatred of anything and anyone is not how you make friends and win allies. To say the least. Also, he's already enough of an idiot fool, and hated by everyone and rubs everyone else the wrong way, he doesn't have to go the extra step above and beyond, really.]
[Also also, because setting fires to mountains sends a bigger and louder message than any words.]
It's not like I have a problem with Christianity! They gave me candy!
[... Yeah. That was like... The worst thing he could have said, isn't it?]
no subject
Another.
Very.
Hard.
Long.
Stare.]
None of that means anything to me.
[While there are various religions in his world, Eustace is not a practitioner of any of them. The only thing he really got was this guy is going against whatever dominant religion is currently in his homeland.
So just a somewhat aggravated sigh, his patience and willingness to continue conversing with Nobunaga waning.]
What did you do to deserve that title?
no subject
[Is that all?!]
[His demeanor almost 180 degree heel turns again, back to the more composed recalcitrant Demon King.]
[Who knows, Eustace will probably prefer that.]
I declared war. [...] On... [A beat. A LONGER beat.] Everyone. [... Yeah, no, the revolutionist thing... yeah. Less revolutionary; more extreme conqueror.] The two major religions, the other warlords, whatever held the land and people back from greatness.
[Boring.]
[So boring.]
[They're not even in Japan anymore!]
[SIGH.] Like I said. [ALL THE ARROGANCE UNMASKED IN FULL.] The monks used martial arts, the samurai used decades of sword training, and everyone prevented the general populous from even protecting themselves against each other.
[His eyes narrow sharply.] I changed that.
For that they agreed I was the Demon King. Their unrivaled enemy.
[But it bores him to have to talk about himself! For all the unbridled arrogance, unmitigated gall, and so on and so forth, his passions lie almost everywhere else. Japan is just a tiny island in a very big world, and even larger -- whatever they were in. He's proud of the people, but not himself. All he did was murder all the time. And yeah, he still felt it was necessary, but even Oda knows it's not something to brag about!]
[There's a lot more in there. The shipping lines he's proud of (see Owari), the alliances he's REALLY proud of (though he attributes almost all of it to the rest of his friends and allies), and even just embracing the new ways of Europeans, much less guns and such, alienated him from most of his society who feared and abhorred change. The monks insisting that the new things would bring them all to ruin, versus the plight of the craftsmen without larger markets. There's Oda's deep abiding hatred for the caste systems of Buddhism and Confucianism, which so spurned his overall willingness to declare war on the religions, but it's not something he knows how to put into words, or even bother trying. He's occasionally (okay... frequently) toyed with the idea of visiting Europe if his quest was ever done. He never thought he'd have to explain stuff like all this though!]
Like I said, they didn't want to allow guns, or much of anything from the outside world. They'd rather have perished clinging to their old ways. [Shrug!] Does it matter here?
no subject
Hearing this, Eustace's eyes narrow. His initial perception of the man has changed considerably from a blubbering idiot (well, that's still there) to something more concerning, potentially dangerous. Of course, he doesn't have all the facts, only what Nobunaga is telling him. Wars...as much as he hates them, they are inevitable. For good or bad, people are always hurt and sacrificed for some supposed greater ideal. Whether the costs are worth it are always impossible to answer. Hell, he's in the middle of a large conflict and about to face the biggest war of his life if they don't stop it.
Maybe Nobunaga's actions were needed and the organizations he speaks truly needed to be changed.
Or maybe he's a delusional idiot who believes his way is the only right way and will do whatever to make it so.
And of course there's the complicated "it's something of everything" that's usually the real answer.
Regardless, Nobunaga's current "favorability" isn't exactly high—of course that's always a tough thing to raise for Eustace's standards. He's also aware he doesn't know everything. But as of now, he's not having the greatest first impressions and seeing he might be dealing with a trigger happy warlord, Eustace maintains his guard.]
...Perhaps not.
[He studies Nobunaga a moment.]
Final question. Are you satisfied? Or are you still on this conquest of yours?
[He keeps talking about leading his country to "greatness," but what is that exactly? How far will he go? And as much as Eustace favors his weapon, he knows its destructive power. He's not sure how to feel about Nobunaga being so fixated on them, but he supposes if it's a new technology for his people, then it would make some sense as a tool to overpower his enemies.
Poor guy, all Nobunaga wanted was to gush about guns and got an interrogation instead—]
ooc: sorry for the TLDR -_-'
[Still, he doesn't kill indiscriminately, and he always wanted to travel abroad.]
[And NOW HE IS!]
[So as to the question...]
[That's difficult to say, really.]
[Will he ever be satisfied? Yes. In... theory. Should Japan unite, the people achieve enough peace and prosperity that he can go sail to Europe sight-seeing and having fun. If the people can be free to be as eccentric and wild as him, without obligations TO a lord or even of BEING a lord! If they're no longer even capable as much of terrorizing one another with fictional monsters: kappa, oni (he has an oni familiar, and yet...) youkai, yasha, demons, spirits, and whatever else.]
[If everyone can have and enjoy candy with the freedom like him to tell the priests to shove their rules against it up their asses.]
[Listen, the candy part is very important.]
Conquest is not the goal. Nor was it ever. It is merely the only means to an end, and the only way to stop others from doing worse.
[He grits his teeth in slight irritation. For all he doesn't believe in any religions (even Christianity!) he can't deny this is probably some sort of accidental karmic justice for all he's done, and the many many times he pried every last detail from the Portuguese missionaries and merchants that he could.]
[But fool as Oda is, he's still smart enough to know that Eustace doesn't care about Japan per se, which is good, because Oda can barely begin to explain the status of that mission, when he doesn't really know what it is here!]
[Wormholes. He was told they're fanciful even in the future. 500 years into the future. Whether his dream is accomplished then or not, doesn't matter, he still has to achieve it. Still, at least Oda has heard of the concept even in passing. Mai fell into the past, Nobunaga into another land. In both cases: make do of the situation at hand first and foremost.]
I have no intentions to conquer Avalon. It won't achieve anything for me. [Blunt, and 100% honest. It would also be one hell of a headache! He doesn't even want to rule over Japan! He's just trying to get them to stop being a bunch of bucket crabs dragging each other down! Sadly he only knows how to slap sense into them with violence, and by being the biggest baddest crab so he can build a ladder for anyone else like him who wants out!]
I don't believe I can bring information from here into my time, only what was said, to use magic -- [Excuse him, he HAS to eyeroll. Magic isn't real, and whatever, even if they were brought here with magic and such, he still will have to squash this reaction every time!] to save our worlds. Nothing more.
Last I was in my time, I was just tying up loose ends to my goals. Takeda Shingen, Kennyo, Kenshin-- [A blank stare. He's saying the names out of pure habit of talking to his retainers and allies, and everyone who needed to know that information, and he doesn't know how to apologize for it, or even properly that he should, but he DOES realize the names are a nuisance to Eustace. The name are in the way, just like the people they represented, which is kind of funny to Oda.] Enemies we thought dead are not. I don't need anything new to deal with them. I simply must, in their own time. It's not particularly troublesome. [Hideyoshi (Oda's right-hand man) would have a fit, if he heard that, but to Oda's mind, "Good thing he's not here then!"]
[Oda waves a hand then.] My goal isn't to rule over Japan. That's why I refuse normal titles. [He has no choice but to accept "Lord," that was more than just birthright, that was "become Lord Oda or die via assassinations even as a child so someone else can get rid of and replace you." And he DOES like "Demon King" (see above.) But even the Lord title he only writes out of habit, and almost NEVER says out loud, because the Portuguese missionaries and merchants accidentally reminded him how stupid it all is. There's too many lords in Japan, and most of them are just undeserving assholes who didn't do anything and further fail their obligations, and wouldn't it be better if both the people and lords were freed from such nonsense? At least it'll let Japan stop being obsolete and catch up to the rest of the world!] There's far better men than I to deal with such things. [His one best skill is war. He can set up the economics and governance to help Ieyasu and Hideyoshi succeed, but he doesn't want to have to stick around to do it all!]
[Back to a cocky smirk!] As for what I planned to do after that, when I can end the wars... [Smirky smirk smirk!] Classified.
[No, but he just wanted to say that back at Eustace! Can you blame him?]
[Although Nobunaga doesn't tell nearly anyone how much he REALLY just wants to travel to Europe. It's just... It's really embarrassing, okay? Big badass Demon King conqueror... just wants to go be a tourist. Listen, some people want to dominate for the sake of power. Nobunaga wants to be a hedonistic little shit, and eat all the candy. He is a simple idiot on a hopeless Fool's Errand for very stupid reasons.]
Ah! But I'm already doing it here.
[And we're right back to not helping himself via very poor suspicious wording.]
LMAO sorry putting you in the position LMAO makes me feel better about my own length tho it's cool
Still, those last few words doesn't help Nobunaga, no. Eustace doesn't expect him to divulge everything (although he's said a lot more than expected) but being cryptic like that does little favors. Rather than say anything, there's just a hard, heavy stare from those cold, narrowed eyes, a sense of pressure coming from the erune.]
Np np I'm loving this XDD
[Listen, you don't become the Demon King caring at all about morality and whether the rest of humanity (? People anyway!) are on your side!]
How long have you been a soldier?
[Just a challenging sort of smirk.]
[Mai hadn't see much of war, almost no one else here had guns, and whether there's any answer provides Oda with a lot more information than not.]
no subject
Why does it matter?
[Another dodge. Well, not that it actually matters. He's not bothering to deny it as it's obvious Nobunaga will be able to tell. He could also answer this without any concern and he likely will if asked again, but he's still gauging the guy. He also knows it could lead to further questions which he will be very quick to slap the "Classified" label on should he be pressed, so in some ways it's a small attempt to avoid it.]
no subject
I wish to ascertain how long you've been using your gun. Cleaning is more something like what a soldier would do, not a hobbyist like me. [... Oda is not really a hobbyist. Enthusiast he means. He's an enthusiast.]
And perhaps to gain a better understanding of the nature of your own homeland as it differs to mine.
no subject
[Again vague, but it's something.]
no subject
[Or ninja.]
[A small smile.] I understand, I'll try to refrain from asking anything too classified. And it's difficult to know what is dangerous to give away here.
[See, Oda doesn't worry about that kind of thing because when you're Oda Nobunaga, you declare war on everything and dare everyone to come at you. As you do.]
Does it usually take that long to gain proficiency? [As earlier mentioned, Oda's favorite part of guns is that they're more accessible for the general public and people with REAL JOBS to do.]
no subject
No. It only took me a few weeks to adjust to Flamek and not much longer to fully utilize it, however I had trained with different handguns prior and focused my training on Flamek specifically to master it as quickly as possible. Even so, there are still things that I can improve.
[A normal saying for anyone who uses weapons. Even true masters are constantly training to improve themselves. But with the way his brows furrow slightly and his eyes darken a fraction, something else is on his mind. However it only lasts for an instant before he returns to the topic. Whether he should explain how their guns work...it's not really that top secret—at least every other gun except Flamek. Automatic rifles and handguns are common in his world and likely will exist in his in the future should technology continue to advance. So after some consideration and deeming it harmless, he continues.]
Because of the automatic firing system, guns like these are easier for someone to learn compared to the kind you have now. Reloading is simpler, allowing the user can focus more on operating the gun, posture, adjusting to the recoil, targeting, and field awareness when using it live. In my world they are as common as the sword and magic.
[Yes, he had noticed Nobunaga's expression when he briefly touched on it.]
1/2
[He's just radiating too much joy.]
[See? SEE? SEE?! DO YOU SEE THIS ALL YOU OLD FARTS?]
[Well, okay, obviously they don't, because Oda doesn't believe in afterlife, and even if he did, they wouldn't be looking down on him over here, but in a sort of historical throwback to all the naysayers, and everyone in his teen years and life that dismissed the power of guns and Oda himself for being crazy, he's just internally throwing it in their faces with the kind of "I was right, you can all suck it!" energy that only an absolute lunatic can exude.]
[Sorry Eustace. He's not SAYING anything, and yet even now somehow, he's incapable of toning down the sheer overwhelming gloating aura of victory.]
2/2
[He DOES know he IS a genius, but in one of those ways where it doesn't always mean as much as you think it should because the more you know, the more you know of what you do not know, and wish to. And that is Oda in a nutshell, and the reason he so desperately wants to see the rest of the world. And is kind of over the moon in joy at seeing all this new stuff now!]
[So obviously a gun that does the volley fire technique on its own!!! Yeah, he's really REALLY excited about that.]
[But he snaps out of it as Eustace mentions magic.]
Eh, seriously? [Frown and slight brow furrow.]
[He has to get over this. He knows he does. He met an oni. He's talking to someone who most of Japan would just instantly accept no questions asked as a yasha of sorts. (For all Oda claimed to be one himself, it's still in a sarcastic nonbeliever way, of course.) So why can't there be magic?]
[Because there isn't. Because every time "magic" was at play, it was always, always something else. He's going to give himself such a headache thinking about this too much.]
[He can understand, of course, why swords are still in use. After all, Oda has one on hand and wouldn't be caught dead without it. Magic... Magic...]
[Magic.]
[You know what. He'll come back to that.]
What's the range now? Are there records on distance? Or height? [GUNS THOUGH!]
Field awareness. [OH, HE LOVES THIS!]
[:O :O :O :O]
[OH, LET THIS BE A THING:]
Is... it recognized as a sport? Same as sumo wrestling?
[Eustace, he swears, he promises on his father's grave, THIS IS TONED DOWN. IT REALLY IS. He's 1000 times worse mentally.]
1/2
2/2
[This man is exhausting.]
no subject
[Actually he's calmer with them because he's more guarded with those close to him (sadly?) and they don't have future gun information. But still.]
Excellent! Now we just need one here! So I can win it.
[This man is the worst. BUT FORTUNATELY he realizes he needs to let Eustace recharge internal exhaustion batteries and you know... Have some alone time ffs.] I'm going to check the beach for anyone else running late. Thank you for discussing this all with me! [Actually bows!]
no subject
He just quirks a brow. ...Win...it? Granted he's not sure what kind of technology this world has right now, so whether they even have guns like his, even automatic ones, is an unknown to him. So he just gives Nobunaga a quiet nod in return.
Although he has a very strong suspicion this isn't the last he'll be dealing with him.]
no subject
[He waves and his cape dramatically blows in the wind as he heads down the beach. You will DEFINITELY be seeing him around. Or hearing. He's loud.]
