[It’s not immediately evident whether the face on screen is male or female--Yuri’s got long, pretty hair and the facial features are ambiguous enough to throw some doubt. But he’s voiced by Troy Baker so that clears up pretty fast, after he’s spent some time frowning at the camera in consternation.]

This thing’s kind of a pain in the ass to use, but I guess it could be pretty useful. If this is even working right now. I might as well be talking to myself for all I can tell.

Anyway. Not much to say. My name’s Yuri, and I need a sparring partner. Nothing fancy, just a friendly match. I’ve got to try out a couple of things. [Yuri grins, forgetting his annoyance with the communicator as he taps his sheathed sword against his shoulder. His expression suggests that ‘friendly’ and ‘potentially injurious’ are not mutually exclusive.] I’ll buy you a drink for the trouble.

[But a good fight should really be its own reward.]

Also, if anyone knows of any work in Maurtia Falls... [Yuri looks down at something, probably his file, eyebrow arching] Since I’ve got no idea what a ‘rap lyricist’ or a ‘raccoon’ is, I have a feeling this isn’t going to work out too well. But I’m a pretty good cook and I know my way around a fight, which seems like a good enough skillset for this town.

[He gives the communicator another dubious look.]

Bye…?

Are you only willing to spar with swords? [ kaneki doesn't use any sort of weapon, but he would be very willing to spar with someone who does. After all, in combat, can't expect everyone to use the same type of weapon as you ]

[Yuri shrugs!]

As long as you can fight against a sword, it doesn't matter to me. I need it for the test.

[enucleation]

[ good. ]

Then, if you are still looking for a sparring partner, I won't mind giving it a try.

[protagerrant]

Sure. When can you do it?

[enucleation]

In the afternoon, that's when I'm free most of the time.

[maime]

don't drink but
meal in exchange for a match?
don't have a sword though
just fists

[Well and guns but that's not really conducive to sparring]

video for ever

[protagerrant]

If you think you can match up bare-handed, I'm not going to say no. Deal.

likewise for text

[maime]

yeah?
no takebacks when you get beat

[He's very strong is what he's saying]

[protagerrant]

Hey, if you can manage it I won't complain at all.

[maime]

'couple of things'
the powers they gave you?

[Because depending on what they are, it occurs to him, maybe it WON'T be so easy.]

[Gregor is not typically the recruiter of the two, but he can maybe pave the way for Miles whenever he eventually rolls in. Tapping his sword against his shoulder and then looking for work is an open invitation.]

It's not in Maurtia Falls necessarily, but a friend of mine and I are looking to set up a security company, if you'd like to apply.

[A beat.] Is this your first time using a comlink? [He sounds politely curious, not unkind.]

[protagerrant]

A security company. [He repeats, neutral. He's not familiar with the phrase, but it sounds like it's probably a variation on a mercenary force.]

Sounds almost too good to be true.

[Comlink? He thought it was called a phone... well, there was probably more than one word for it, with all the various words.]

More or less. I guess my planet's what you'd call backwards, we don't have any kind of long-distance communication. Besides mail.

[vorbarra]

It seemed the most natural application of our skillsets to this planet, [he admits.] Most likely Miles will be along eventually to tell you about it.

[Not the recruiter, this one, for sure.

Gregor hasn't actually interacted with someone from that far back in the past, but he has a major leg up on all the other sci fi characters - heck, even the modern characters - given that the Time of Isolation is still well within cultural memory for him.] Ah, I see. My planet was like that about a hundred years ago, so I'll decline from slinging stones. If you have any confusion on how to work it, I wouldn't mind explaining.

[protagerrant]

Ah. Of course you're with him.

Thanks for that. I think I've got the basics, at least. I'm... not sure I want to get into the rest of these buttons. There's a lot.

[vorbarra]

So you've met. [An eyebrow raise.] Why of course, out of curiosity?

In that case, let me point out just one. That little one just below the screen, on the left-- it's the privacy function. Not impossible to crack-- think someone stealing your mail-- but generally good.

[Isaac can tell by the tone this is a new arrival.]

Yeah, you...don't really strike me was a rapper.

video to infinity

[protagerrant]

I don't know whether to be insulted or not.

[abadidea]

[He smiles slightly.]

That depends on whether or not like you like rap music, really.

[protagerrant]

I'll have to look into it.

[abadidea]

[He nods.]

Don't say I didn't warn you.

[Isaac's not a fan. Maybe he's too old.]

[ And here comes Miles, right on schedule. ]

Interested in work?

[protagerrant]

Hey. You friend was just telling me you're starting something up.

[dendarii]

Greg precedes me, eh? I'll have to double his salary.

[protagerrant]

He basically referred me to you, so maybe just a bonus.

[dendarii]

No, no. Nothing I can double easily. A bonus is too substantial.

We would greatly appreciate your strength, I think. Both Greg and I are better suited to the technical side.
