Is it working now? I still don't get these stupid things- Ah! [Oh awesome, he got the video working. He might have been here for a few weeks now but it was still quite the challenge to work some of the technology here. Enjoy your video of a guy with a white streak in his hair and pointy ears, afterlife.] Hey, uh, I'm Caius. Caius Qualls.
... Do any of you have Leimorne where you're from? Back home I was fighting to help the humans and Leimorne come to trust each other, one of my friends was even gonna start a whole organization about it when the lycanth hunt was over and we stopped the King's plans.
[He's really hoping someone here knows what he's going on about, otherwise he's just going to end up speaking a load of gibberish.]
So I wanted to ask, do any of you have people who aren't human where you're from and do you get along with them? Like there's no difference between how you and them are treated.
[And that's it, there's his message. While waiting for replies, Caius will be fiddling around with the laptop he's using. Adjusting the camera, tapping buttons, just generally messing around to see if he can get a better grasp on these things.]
[Action]
[It might be possible to spot smoke billowing out from the trees behind the dojo later in the day. Not like rolling clouds of the stuff, but a thin stream of black smoke that rises up into the sky and could easily be spotted by anyone walking around the school grounds today.
Should anyone investigate the source of the smoke, they'll find Caius in a small clearing with a well lit campfire nearby. There are a few sticks set aside in a pile in case the fire needs tending and it's surrounded by small rocks to keep it under control.
Caius is standing a short distance away from the fire, wielding a long stick he picked up in one of his hands. He swings the stick back and forth a few times before talking out loud to himself.]
Come on, I've done this hundreds of times... Demon Fang! [...] How about this, Sword Rain!
[He's trying to get his artes to work, but he isn't have much success. Luckily, most of his artes are just various sword swings, so he can emulate them pretty well even if they lack the power and speed his artes usually do. Care to interrupt his little camp out-slash-training session?]

I've only ever met Japanese people after coming here, like that counts!
no subject
[ He's giving you a moment here, Caius. Make sure to let it soak in. ]
.. They sure suck balls compared to mine, right?
no subject
Leon.
Yuuuuuri.
Leooooon.
Its about now that he realises that he isn't a good judge of names.]
I don't know, your name seems fine compared to everyone else's. Does it really matter?
no subject
A cool name already tells you that the person who has a name like that's gotta be super cool!
no subject
But, uh... [Okay no you know what.] My name is already cool, a lot cooler than yours! How many people have you ever talked to who have a name like 'Caius', huh?
[HE LIKES BEING COOL TOO OKAY... Only he tends to do it by fighting monsters and acting cool rather than. Arguing over names. But here we are.]
no subject
That sounds like a name from some lame movie about ancient Rome.. [ It's true though. Aside from the subjective judgement in there. ] I mean, it's dated as hell! Maybe you really are a caveman!
no subject
[HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT ROME IIIS. But he's never met another person with his name before, shouldn't that make it cool?!]
You're only calling it lame because you know my name beats yours, hands down.
no subject
[ He hangs up.
There you go. That's it. Your mystical advice. Might as well have come from the Dalai Lama himself. ]
no subject
I don't need to think about it because I'm not a caveman!!
[HE'S going to be the one hanging up first, okay!? Wait, shit, did Leon already leave? ... WELL HE SLAMS THE LAPTOP SHUT ANYWAY. Aaand ends up getting shouted at for making so much noise in the library by an NPC teacher for doing so, BUT WHATEVER.]
