[ when the feed flicks on, it's to japan seated neatly in a chair, hand withdrawing from the phone to curl in his lap. he offers a bow, straightening with a slightly uncertain expression. ]

Good afternoon. My name is Japan-- [ a slight waver there; it still feels a little strange to introduce himself this way to strangers. ] --and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I've chosen to address the network largely for the purpose of asking advice, which I suppose is a time-honored tradition among internet users. As there's no Twitter here to turn to, well.. [ he trails off, then spreads his hands in a small shrug.

anyway. ]
As a nation, my government has generally provided for me for quite some time. I do a fair amount of volunteer work, but well.. it's not the same thing as holding employment. Particularly not on another planet. [ a beat. right, get to the point. ] I would like to work for [ er. ] one of the moonblessed? If possible, that is. I've heard that there are some few that may be opening businesses of their own. If not.. it would be nice to hear about where you're working. If you are, that is. Perhaps it will give me some ideas.

[ he sighs, shoulders dropping slightly. ] Though.. I'm not eager to begin just yet. It's been quite a long week, hasn't it? With the dragons, that is. [ a beat, then he perks up slightly. ] As the little ones have been returned to their parents now, though, if you have photos that you'd like to share, I'd like to see them. The dragonlings that I saw over the last few days were all very unique. It's interesting, how they took on traits of us. Don't you think?

[... Japan?

While the concept is nothing new to him—hell, that's how he exist—the fact that there's a personification of his... homeland even made him pause in surprise.
]

Are you really Japan?

[There's a good deal of skepticism here, before he seems to relax for a moment.]

I do have some photos I don't mind sharing of my dragon. [Actually please give him a chance to show off.]
saigawa: (Request - ちょっとさ、頼みがあるんだけど……)

[If he's Japan, then that means he got to protect him? His task is still following the saniwa's orders, which is protecting Japan's history.

So...
]

Ooh, then that means you probably know a lot of stuff?

[Like swords. Kashuu's already starting to look for his dragon photos as he introduce himself. It's easier to do something than to... think too deeply for a moment? He shows some photos he manage to take of his dragon, black and red. Ones he deem nice looking enough (and not embarrassing himself too much).]

I'm Kashuu Kiyomitsu, and my cute dragon was named Kara!

[... And he's curious to see if his name ring any bells.]
saigawa: (Appeal - hey aruji)

[Of course, he would say that guy's name. It's no surprise. Okita's legend simply eclipse his smith's reputation. Kashuu smiles, although he's careful about controlling his expression and tone. Or the words he wants to use.]

Yep, that's right! I'm Kashuu Kiyomitsu, child from the river and one of Okita Souji's swords.

[From the sound of it...] And I'm guessing you met others like myself?
saigawa: (Wink - Care to join me?)

You can call me however you like.

[Since he's Japan, he wouldn't mind hearing "Kiyomitsu" from him. He probably have the right to, like the saniwa sages.]

Mm, yep. There's more of us here. But not all of us.

[Is that supposed to be reassuring? Well, Kashuu would feel better about it. Because they still need swords back at the citadel for safety and security.]
