anthropophagite: situations (Normal - smile nervous 18)

Good afternoon. [ is it afternoon? perhaps.

To the video, a young man (he looks like a boy, even though he is an adult, kaneki suffers from "baby face syndrome", for sure) shows up; he smiles and then bows his head a little ]


I'm Ken Kaneki, I have just arrived. [ a small pause follows ] Or have been saved, I suppose. I'm still trying to fully understand what is going on, there is a lot to take. [ he smiles, but it's obvious how nervous he is ]

I was told there is magic and you can learn how to do it. Is magic really that simple in this place...? [ honestly, magic was just a fiction where kaneki is from, so this is certainly VERY new ] And there is also... kizuna? Or the two are the same... [ something like that? It IS confusing ] I'm sorry, this is all so strange.

I heard there are side effects, though. [ Kaneki is worried about that in particular, in fact ]

[An angry looking young man is shown on screen with his arms folded, tapping his fingers against his arm in poorly concealed restlessness. He barely looks into the video at first, still grumbling to himself.]

Fucking waste of time. I don't need magic to kick anyone's ass-

[He turns his attention back to the video, each word growled out like it's a threat.]

My hero name's Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight, and I guess I'm here to save all of you from those shitty wannabe scientists! [He gestures to himself and grins confidently.] But before that, I wanna see who's the best at the magic kizuna crap and find out strong this supposed world-saving magic is myself! I'm gonna keep this brief, but one other thing-

WHY THE HELL DO I GOT THIS BITE MARK ON MY SHOULDER?!

[He gestures angrily at his left shoulder, where there appears to be a healed scar that looks as if someone bit him once, sitting above another scar that looks like something speared through him at one point.]

If any of you did this, I'll kill you!
