1st Article || VIDEO
[When the video feed initially comes on, it's pointed slightly too high and catches only the upward flip of hair on the person trying to use it. However the angle is quickly corrected and Tintin comes fully into view.]
I've been doing some digging since my arrival; is it true that the network is the only information delivery system here? No papers at all? [The question's clearly a bit hypothetical, as he barrels forward regardless.] With the network being so active, it seems like it would be easy to misplace high priority information. Or is there a way to break how it's sorted down a little more specifically? By the sound of it, most of us are out of our depths here and it might be a good idea to have some kind of system that's a little more-- [He waffles a moment, looking for the right word.] --well, 'focused' I suppose.
On that note, I'd appreciate any information you might have regarding a few statistics: how long the average Transport stays in Exsilium, any census data on hand, how common the missions the Initiative sends us on are and the like. Any hard fact is a good one.
--Oh! [He sharpens, suddenly serious.] And if anyone knows where to find dog food, I'd appreciate that as well. It comes in a can.
[The feed clicks off.]

[A pause here, and he nods, very thoughtful now. He lifts a fist to his chin, tapping lightly as he considers.] It's very true, that for many people, that being brought here without their permission or knowledge creates a lot of difficulty, but for others... For others it isn't simply kidnapping. It's also being brought back to life! So that is a bit of a better impression, I think.
no subject
But you are right - there needs to be some sense of order or I get the feeling this place won't last long. The Initiative and their missions are one thing, but they don't seem to have much hand in the day to day life of us Transports. I know there's a police force cropping up, isn't there? Still, seems like exactly the kind of system someone might want to start taking advantage of.

[Ishimaru is quick to nod in agreement. Sense of order. That is music to his ears. Without rules, he's not sure what he'd do.] Is there a police force? That's interesting to hear! I hope they'll be fair in implementing whatever rules there are. But you're right, without some order it's a danger for someone to abuse the situation.

[After a thoughtful pause, Tintin suddenly starts and fixes his attention firmly back to the video feed.] Where are my manners? I'm Tintin, by the way.
no subject
But well, he blinks at that, quickly making an awkward little bow at the video.] I forgot to introduce myself as well. I apologize for my rudeness! Ishimaru Kiyotaka. It's a pleasure to meet you! You seem to have some very good ideas!
no subject
Kiyotaka? Is that Japanese?
[It sounds right, though he's never actually been himself.]
no subject
[His mini biography in a nutshell. He's a little overly emphatic, but that's usual for him.]
Where is it you're from?
no subject
[Tintin leans toward the tablet. Learning anything at all about other countries and cultures is high on his list of interests.]
I'm from Belgium myself.
no subject
[Ishimaru could launch into a full explanation of cultural differences and historical conflicts. But well. He is getting better at remembering that he is not always giving a report to the class. Conversations are different than classes.]
I haven't been to Europe myself! So I don't know much about Belgium except what I've studied in class. I would like to hear about it from someone with first hand experience. Perhaps we can discuss it sometime!
no subject
--Oh, hold your horses Snowy. [He turns back to the video.] I probably ought to go before he decides to eat his way out of the room, but if you like we ought to meet properly at some point and have a good chat it. And I can keep you updated on this whole... network publication business if it goes anywhere as well if you want.
no subject
I look forward to it, Tintin-kun! And I would appreciate being kept updated! I will share anything I find out as well. I plan on doing as much research as I can to find out more about this place!
no subject
[And after a moment or two of finagling with the tablet, the feed cuts off.]
