text; get this child out of his comfort zone
Who: Kazuto Kirigaya and [insert your name here]
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: Today / Sept 4
[Waking up in unfamiliar surroundings is not new for Kazuto, but in the past it's been quite a different experience. It's not an MMO this time, which is what catches him off guard the most. He can tell immediately, even with a simple glance around- the world is too real, too detailed. (Just in case, he tests a few menu-summoning gestures, but no dice.)
Waking up in a hospital-eque area makes him think that something went wrong with his last MMO dive, but that isn't right. He clearly remembers being safe and healthy the night before- they'd checked him out at the hospital before he'd gone to Sinon's. So... what? A kidnapping? Some kind of experiment? Something about this place doesn't feel right, and there's information slowly filtering into his head that doesn't make much sense.
And then he goes and looks out a window. Yikes.
He spends some time wandering, quietly observing, though there isn't really anyone to observe- computers, broadcasts, machines, yes, but people? The place is pretty deserted. It's eerie and uncomfortable, and he gets totally lost before long. Finally, though, he puts to use the knowledge of the broadcast system that is inexplicably in his head now, typing out a message.]
Is anyone out there available to answer some questions? I don't understand what's happened to me.
[Yep, that sure is a message. Which... is probably gibberish to anyone who doesn't read Japanese. Someone should probably let him know about the auto-translate not working on text.]

I can't say whether or not guns are honourable, but I know I'm terrible with them. That won't help much.
[Maybe if he had time to train, but he seriously doubts guns are any easier in real life, without the system-assist.]

Good point. I guess finding materials and equipment to make weapons is a priority.

You've got a sword called Excalibur?
text
The Excalibur, recreated through Gerolt's skill. I used it as long as I was able, but it was not as effective against later foes, so I had to seek yet stronger blades.
Yet rather than the name of my sword, I would sooner hear your name.
text
Excalibur is supposed to be the strongest sword ever, both in legend and in video games, so it's surprising to hear that it wasn't good enough in this instance. Interesting, very interesting.
He's still torn on the name issue, but he figures using his avatar handle until he gets a feel for the place is the best bet.]
Sorry. Call me Kirito.

Miah Lanbatal. It is a pleasure, Sir Kirito.

I don't actually have any titles or anything. Just Kirito is fine. Nice to meet you, though.

[Just gotta- fiddle with the controls a bit. It's unfamiliar but intuitive enough that he gets it within a few moments. Maybe that's the augment thing again.]
Better?
video
Yes. It is difficult to say we have met when we have never seen one another.
video
Oh, wow... is that a Cait Sith avatar?
[Is this somehow a digital world after all?]

video
Doll? No, no, it's a fantasy race of cat-people. Cat-fairies. They look like- well, you.
video
I am a Miqo'te, every bit as civilized as you Hyur. We are no cats. Compare us not to such base beasts, unless it is our anger you desire.

What did you mean by 'avatar'?

[She's not unfamiliar with the idea. A couple of her comrades had turned out to be Au Ra, hiding their true selves to blend into Eorzea. She had wanted such a potion for a long time, before, but now the notion causes her to frown.]
I understand it not. I wish to be no one besides myself.
video
[It's how he used to feel, after all, so he can recognize the appeal.
But- wait-]
Hold on, are you saying you actually look like that!?
