[ Accidental Video ]

[ You would figure by now, somebody would notice how easy it was to accidentally set these phones off and make them start recording and maybe, you know, fix them. Because it's happened again. But this time it's not some secret affair or helpless person experiencing shadows for the first time. What you see unfolding on the screen looks like a teenager trying to pick a fight with kids a little younger than himself. Wow, what? That hardly seems fair! ]

The hell do you punks think you're doing? Get out of here! Scram!

[ ...Yet amazingly, all it took was a few swings and punches at the air to scare the kids away. Of course, doing so reveals another child curled up on the ground, hugging a plush bunny to her chest. Of course, the big and scary teenager makes his way over to her, but with a much different aura about him this time. He actually kneels down to her level and gives her head a pat. ]

You okay, kid? ...Damn it, they really did a number on him, didn't they? Here, lemme see him.

[ Yes, he just whipped out some thread and a needle. And he is totally sewing the bunny back up like nobody's business. Obviously he must be a pro at this. Eventually he's done and hands it back to the kid who gives her thanks and scampers off. ]

Geez, kids can be so cruel. Ain't fair, being ganged up on like that. Now where did I put-- shit!

[ Yeah, he may have just realized the phone someone got knocked out of his pocket and is totally recording everything. Panic mode is go!]

Shit, shit, shit! How do you stop this thi--

[ Oh, looks like he finally got it! Click. Of course, it's not like that's going to keep anyone from calling him back or anything. ]

[ Action ]

[ Later on, you might find Kanji wandering about the city. Doesn't look like he's actually doing anything in particular, but if you hadn't seen his earlier accidental video, he might look like the type that's looking for trouble. I mean, those piercings and that scar don't exactly give the best first impressions. Feel like bothering him? ]

They just need to go get bent.

...Where am I, anyway? This don't look like Inaba.

[ Slow to pick up on these things much, Kanji? ]

Prospero. A city in the United States. The people that you'll be getting phone messages from are all in the same boat as you.

The United States!?

[ Excuse him for being completely shocked by this revelation. ]

Damn. Must've gotten in a lot of trouble to get kicked out of Japan. I don't remember doin' anything that bad. Must be them biker punks.

[ Because it made the most sense at the moment. ]

Ah, I'm not sure what I would've done to get kicked out of Japan, either. The temple would be so displeased with me if that were the case. So I don't think that's it.

Temple? You a priest in training or something?

[ Staying on subject: something Kanji has no idea how to do. ]

That's right. My father is the head of a Buddhist temple.

[Issei likes talking about this anyway.]

Well, can't say there's a lack of interesting people 'round here, I guess. Can't say I'm as lucky. Just the son of textile shop owner.

[ Yeah, it's totally not obvious considering his talents... ]

But that's handy. I see you've picked up the skill well.

Didn't really have much of a choice. I mean, when you're born into that kind of enviroment, you just pick up on it.

I imagine workin' at a temple's pretty hard, but it sounds kinda fun, too.

It's rewarding. At this point I can't imagine myself in any other kind of life... well, I suppose I'm not training to be a monk right now, here, but besides that.

Yeah, 'magine that's kind of hard to accomplish here. America doesn't really have the temples we got back home, right?

Not in this city, at least. They're much rarer in this country.

A damn shame, if you ask me. But I guess that's just how people are these days.

There's only so much I can do, and I have more important concerns now.

Like what?

Things like 'why am I here and how do I not die every night' for starters.

Oh, right. That would kind of take prior--

Wait, 'how do i not die every night'? The hell are you getting yourself into? You don't look like the type to be in a gang.

[ Himself, on the other hand... ]

I'm not. Has anyone talked to you about the goings-on in this city?

Other than the apparent kidnapping? Not really.

And obviously had you been here for a night, you would have said something about the monsters. Hm. How to explain.

...Monsters? You gotta be kiddin'.

Sadly, I am not.

You sure it ain't just some punks running around in costumes? See stuff like that on TV all the time.

Believe me, I've gotten close enough to know.

Guess I'll have to see it to believe it.
