[ Kuroh’s been here for a couple months now. He’s kept careful tabs on the network and made a few new friends, learned a few new things. Chief among them: People often ask their fellow Transports a really personal or philosophical question over the tablets for no other reason than to pass the time.

So. To demonstrate his totally admirable social skills--and also due to a recent pang of homesickness--he’s going to prove that he can fit in here. ]

Good afternoon. This is Kuroh Yatogami. [ Well everyone already knows that since this isn’t anonymous, but for the sake of politeness. ] I wonder, how many of you here also had teachers back home who were very important to you? I mean the sort who were just as much your family as your instructors. [ Oh no, he’s starting to look nostalgic. ] Those who taught you everything you know and loved you unconditionally.

For me, that was Ichigen Miwa. [ And with that, his normally quiet voice becomes a lot more emotional and excited. And...he reaches into his jacket pocket. Suddenly in his hand is a peculiar voice recorder. ] The late Colorless King, the wisest and most fair master anyone could ask for, whose inspired words of wisdom guide me to this very day! [ With a small click, Kuroh presses a button, and... ]

Walk casually
Along the path you have chosen
The path to your dreams.
[ Exsilium, you’ve been treated to the soothing, poetic voice of a dead man. Sorry, was Kuroh expressing interest in other people’s teachers earlier? No more. His cheeks are a bit flushed and one can practically see the sparkles in the atmosphere. ] And there you have it! Not a day goes by when I don’t--

[ Oops, and then he bumps the tablet with his free hand, and the feed is cut off. And thank god because he was showing no signs of stopping. ]

[ ooc note: this is before he learns of Certain Castmates’ arrival. Shiro, the fanboy's probably in the apartment. ]

[Wow Kuroh that was...really something there. She thinks she saw sparkles there for a moment. But you know what? She'll go along with...this...thing]

He sounds like a wonderful teacher.

[ Walks in! Shiro's hungry. ]

You said that he was a colorless king? What do you mean?

[morujiana]

Well after I was freed..Uhm..I met one of my tribe members and he became my mentor. He helped me improve my fighting skills more better.

I guess you can call him a teacher. [Her face never changes expression, even after Kuroh shows the voice recorder. She had no idea what that is..]

[chittybang]

[ Heeey, she remembers that face! Asami watches the recording and intends to respond for the sake of dropping in. It ends abruptly, but she thinks she has the gist of it. ]

Sounds like a swell guy. The relationships I had with my teachers were pretty impersonal, so I'm a little envious of you!

_{[Flora just happily folds her hands together, because ahhh, suteki~!]}

What a beautiful haiku. He sounds like he was a pretty amazing person.

[Text - Anonymous - I'm sorry about this, really]

[bloodyashes]

[He's had a really bad day and this is just icing on the cake.]

Yes, I did.

And then he kidnapped me.

Walk casually? You don't foolishly lolly-gag on something as important as your dreams.

[aceordisgraced]

... Casually's an interesting word to put there, isn't it? But you might as well enjoy your walk.

[jailbreaks]

[He's still trying to figure out how to use this thing, but he sees the feed. Right, he presses this button, and why isn't the video showing up? For now he gives up and takes his small victory that he got it to work.]

Can't say I had anyone like that. Sounds like you look up to this guy.

[Well, Yuri did, but they're all kind of dead and he'd rather not talk about the past. He prefers looking forward.]

[video]

[galactically]

[After looking intensely at the feed, hands clasped and tucked underneath her chin, she nods in satisfaction at hearing the man's voice. Cue some soft laughter.]

Your teacher is a very smart man. I like the way he thinks!

[peachbaths]

That box.

It contains the late king's voice.

[ If he's dead, he shouldn't be talking. So... how!? Kougyoku finds it baffling. Something like this doesn't exist in ancient fantasy China. ]

voice (I said I would tag ;;)

[skilful]

Ah, so that's Kuroh-kun's king! He sounds like an amazing person.
