[A smiling young man stands just outside of the training grounds, setting his tablet up on a crate so he can film himself. Fixing his mantle and his scarf, Coby proceeds to adjust himself accordingly as to look absolutely formal. In terms of addressing the public, he's been educated on how to conduct himself and it seems like his goal to look upstanding and reliable. Straightening his back and then saluting, Coby addressed the tablet with his air of duty.]

Good evening! My name is Coby. I'm a Captain of the Marines and much like the rest of you, I've been brought here to serve and help return the world to order. If at any point you need assistance in your efforts to strengthen yourself or you need a helping hand in battle, think nothing of asking for my aid.

[Down went his hand at his side--Coby bending slightly to bow before the camera. He word a smile, attempting to look as amicable as possible.]

Please rely on me! As a member of the Navy, the safety of the World's citizens is my priority!

[He reached over to turn off the tablet just before the feed cut off.]

Interesting? Well, I suppose that might be the case at times.

As I said, I'm Coby. May I ask your name, sir?

Usually our hosts tend to choose people with little military experience.

Teijirou Takegami as they say in the West.

So I've heard.

You're from West Blue, Mister Takegami?

I am Japanese. In my culture, we speak to others using our family name first with respect given to how much older or senior we are. Our given names are not often used except by close friends or lovers.

And please, it is not 'mister'. I know that the West need it but it is not fitting.

I apologize, then. What would you prefer me to call you, then?

Takegami is fine.

Alright.

Takegami--please rely on me for help whenever you may need it. As a Marine, it's my sworn duty to aid civilians.

[ Oh he just is trying so hard not to start laughing here. It's not that he sees this as being silly, it's just that he's not use to people offering to help him. ]

If you insist, how can I stop you?

Well--as forthcoming as I might seem, I must concede that I cannot help those who do not want to be helped and those who are well capable enough of doing so themselves.

At the very least, I must offer and see for myself.

I am a simple bartender and entertainer. I am sure I will need some help in the future.

Please rely on me, then!

I'll do my best to ensure your safety as a Marine.

Mm, I will remember.
