[After much, much fiddling with the device on his wrist - which at first brougt some interesting flashbacks of a certain other wrist device he was forced to wear one time - Jigen finally manages to get the video feed feature of the thing going, and the first thing that's on the screen is his less than amused face, a cigarette burning between his lips.]

So, this "moonlacing" deal... [He takes a long drag from his cigarette, head shaking for a moment.] Not sure what this place's plan is but they couldn't have picked a worst guy for the job. [The only other person he can think of that would be a worse fit is Goemon.]

Am I really expected to get all lovey dovey with strangers to generate some mystical energy? Yeah, not happening any time soon.

But I should at least introduce myself, since I'm here and all. Name's Jigen Daisuke, and despite these... [He points at the bunny ears that have now replaced his own.] I'm a completely normal human. Well, I guess these have their advantages. I feel like my hearing is more accurate.

I guess I'll be seeing you people soon, hm? [The feed unceremoniously ends without either a good bye or wave of a hand. Yeah... not the friendliest guys around.]

i can promise not to touch you without your express permission.

[like he'll leave you alone now.]

At least you are honest

[Yep, he's clearly not gonna be left alone. He's been to this place for less than an hour an he already feels like he's digging his own grave.]

Can I at least have your name before you start getting touchy?

ah! i forgot my manners, sorry about that! my greetings to you, i'm wei wuxian from the yunmeng jiang. i've only just arrived recently, please take care of me!

You are from China then?

And
take care of you?

[OK, he has no idea what that's supposed to mean.]

ah? do you mean zhongguo?

it's a greeting! "please take care of me", i mean. it's like saying "take care" when parting with a friend or loved one. it's a polite greeting for people you've just made acquaintances with!

I see
I don't think I ever saw anyone use that type of greeting

[This guy's kinda strange, but also pretty amusing.]

Either way
I guess now that I said you could touch my ears I gotta own up to that promise hm?
