Name: Konoe
Date: now-ish
Format: voice
[Typing is terrible for someone not used to it (and someone not even that great at writing, at that): one attempt has been enough to convince Konoe never to try again if he can help it.
Video, however... is honestly creepy!? How do people get so small, and how can they be sure they'll get out of the watch again? He may be a cat, but he's not stupid!
So he tries for voice, even though he's not used to voice calls, either. He gets really close to the watch and pronounces everything a little slowly, overly clearly.]
Before - you - came - here, - were - there - demons - with - you?
If - not, - were - you - in - great - danger - some - other - way?
And - were - you - cursed - at - some - point?
[There, he did it. There's an audible sigh, of determination as much as relief, and then the feed ends.
Look, he's just trying to get some answers, here. There must be some pattern to who was pulled here through the mirrors and why!]

no subject
[ Or she wasn't, anyway. ]
Well, yes. Or something. I'm a knight errant - I travel around and help people with problems they can't solve by themselves! Often with a great deal of daring and swordplay.
no subject
[Your "logic" is rejected, dear sir/madam!]
Is that like a bounty hunter?
[Sounds like a bounty hunter.]
no subject
[ She's not going into details about herself. Yet. ]
And no, it's nothing like a bounty hunter. A bounty hunter is drive by greed, a lust for coin. I have no need of such things!
no subject
[Nine lives? LOL no.]
Most people need money to live, unless they can hunt enough. [And their standards are low, like Konoe's.] Even then, bounty hunters probably need lots of strong weapons...
[Which in turn need money.
Wait - why is he even defending bounty hunters to this degree?! ... Oh right, his one not!friend is a bounty hunter.]
no subject
[ She laughs. ]
Although I think he's also going to be around a long time, so who knows...? Anyway, yes, some people are immortal. And some are doomed to live short lives and die, through no fault of their own. Poor dears.
[ Ahem. Moving on. ]
I don't need money. Material wealth is beyond me. Or was, anyway.
no subject
[Wow, what is with this condescending attitude!? But Konoe is still more intrigued than offended. For now.]
Not anymore?
no subject
[ Iramaat is who she is and will condescend toward just about everyone she meets, if she thinks it'll work. ]
Well, they want money for things here, so I suppose I'm going to have to start using it.
no subject
[THIS IS EXCITING! Much as he'd claim to hate his kind if anything, he still misses being around other cats. Not all of them, mind you! But some weren't so bad, maybe...]
Right... We'll have to find a job.
[HE DOESN'T WANT TO! He's not lazy or anything, but working means people, and he's not sure he's ready to deal with people yet, let alone the people of this world.]
no subject
[ She's very casual about the whole thing. ]
I'm used to working, but I don't usually do it for money. Still, if they want to pay me for being heroic and saving people, I'm not about to complain.
no subject
I'm really not sure that's a job.
no subject
[ It's one banana, Konoe. What could it cost, ten dollars? ]
no subject
If you really want to help people and get paid for it, being a bounty hunter is probably your best shot.
[Yeah, he's. He's not letting go of that just yet. You sorta-kinda-almost-sideways insulted his friend!]
no subject
[ Look, if she's going to help people it's because she's a dashing knight, not because there's something silly like money involved.
Besides, it's the adulation and attention she wants. Much better things to be motivated by, clearly. ]
no subject
[He wants to be impressed by the heroic ambitions, but honestly? They sound kind of dumb.
Alternatively: become an rock star/idol. That sounds about right.]
no subject
[ Although honestly, being a rock star sounds awesome. ]
Although I suppose the locals are willing to pay me for my assistance, to some degree. Which might be enough, as long as I don't succumb to the siren call of material wealth...
that face keeps reminding me of emperor kuzco for some reason and i love it
.....
You know what? It's none of his business, anyway. He's not even going to say anything.]
Well, good luck with that.
i'm so glad
[ Is she really that overconfident? Is this just a put-on? ]
no subject
Just tell us when you defeat the Cwyld. It'd be a shame if all us simple people kept trying to fight it, too.
[It's not that he doesn't believe her. She may be every bit as heroic as she says! But whether she is or she isn't, the way she goes about proclaiming her own amazingness kind of annoys him.
Mostly because it feels like an automatic put-down of everyone else, himself included - so it's really just a petty pride thing on his end. But there ya go.]
no subject
[ In Konoe's defense, it's pretty much exactly that. ]
Don't sell yourself short!
no subject
[... Konoe?!
Okay, he's just. Going to pretend that didn't happen.]
...
[Shit - he really can't pretend at all. This is so embarrassing..!
... And then he realizes he can end the call, so he does.
That was embarrassing.
That was just terrible, really...
Maybe he should never use his watch again. That sounds like a plan.
It's all the watch' fault.]
no subject
Still, not her problem.
Sorry, Konoe. ]
