[At least this person seems to know what he's doing: he doesn't look at all surprised when the device clicks on and starts recording, merely annoyed and more than a bit worried.]

This is a ridiculous situation. It isn't possible for someone to wake up on another continent for no reason. For one thing, who would bother to kidnap a monk? Not even a monk, but a monk in training?

On the chance that this isn't an extraordinarily vivid dream, I'd like to ask for some explanation of what on earth is going on here. I would appreciate it. The only other apparent option would be to beat my head against the wall until the concussion knocks me out and I wake up at home again, but that doesn't appeal as much.

...How bad is this war exactly?

Not the worst I have ever seen, but I suspect it is an existential battle for humanity's soul. So significant. [ Which might lead one to question what kind of battles Garviel is used to fighting. ]

That is a significant step up from the kind of duty I am used to performing, that being filling out paperwork for the student council.

You were a member of the Administratum? That is an important job.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I don't know if that's the correct term, but yes, I have administrative duties.

I see. Well, you have my sympathies. To go from scribe and scrivener to soldier so quickly will be hard for you. I will help you as much as I can.

Thank you. [This was a very serious man, it looked like.] I haven't introduced myself - my name is Issei Ryudo.

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Nor have I. My name is Garviel Loken.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Good to meet you, Loken.

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Good to know you as well. Are you situated in the hotel yet, or do you have another dwelling?

I don't feel quite comfortable staying in a strange place at all, but I have to stay somewhere after all, so I'll find a room.
