[ The feed flashes in as it's been doing and this time there’s some beeping as some buttons are pressed while all that’s seen is a blur of white and sometimes little flashes of details in blue. It finally settles and reveals the recorder, who is a rather feminine man with white hair and, most noticeably, a purple cross-shaped mask across his face. He seems almost surprised to have gotten this working, but the expression quickly vanished to a passive one.]

I think I’ve explored enough. This land doesn’t interest me much, no matter what it or its ‘Queen’ are capable of.

[He looks thoughtful for a moment before clearing his throat and continuing.]

I’m looking for the remains of the Toyotomi clan if there are any here. I’m currently in Highcrest; you should contact me or come find me right away.

[He’s not interested in introductions at the moment, either. The people who already recognize him are the ones he wants to get a hold of him.]

That is all, thank you.

[And he ends with a small smile. Not the most interesting video to hit the network but hey. It serves his purpose.]

[Oh my, someone actually responded.]

My apologies, my dear... I was more calling out to them, rather than asking for help finding them. After all, the particular men I'm looking for may not like me divulging even the slightest of information. [He gives her a charming smile.] Thank you though.

As for my name .... I like "the masked one." Sounds mysterious. [And a chuckle.]

[Charmed.]

If you insist . . . very well. But I do not see the appeal in a moniker that disregards everything else about yourself. It is hardly descriptive.

[Oh, he can tell.]

An alias that reveals anything more about yourself would have to be unnecessarily long, I think. And to anyone who had never heard my name before, what would Takenaka Hanbei even tell them about me? Nothing I'm sure.

In the end, I was only being cautious and not reveal myself so quickly. Though I suppose its a useless idea with how my image is projected by this ... thing.

Quite so. However, I understand your desire for caution—one can't be entirely sure of whom else is watching. Takenaka . . . Hanbei of the Toyotomi clan, is it? [She only assumes that he's a part of it.] I am Maribelle of Themis. Not a clan, exactly, but I should hope that evens out our grounds; as I have pressed you to reveal yourself, I've done the same.

[He nods. Though maybe he should have called it an army but she doesn't need to know that.] I would have in due time and you were only trying to help so its quite alright.

Maribelle of Themis, it's a pleasure to meet you.
