001 [video;]
[Good afternoon, Johto! There is a very confused looking man on the network today.]
Can I ask if anyone has seen a few different people around here? There names are Ichimi, Jiro, and Sante. They all wear numbered hoodies; you'd notice them. Oh, and there's Kaneki, too. He wears an eye patch so he'd stand out, too. There's also Hinami-chan. She's thirteen, so she shouldn't be out wandering by herself.
[But in the event that none of them are here...]
The name's Banjou. Banjou Kazuichi.
What is this place? Why was a strange woman telling me that she's my mother? Why was there a beaver inside a tiny ball?
[And this is where he rubs at his head, looking around for a moment before focusing back on the camera.]
Where's the music coming from?
...one more question. I'm just asking, but is it possible to wake up without bad injuries? I'm talking really bad here, like broken limbs or giant wounds. That kind of thing.

Can't say I've ever met people like that around here. ...But there is Team Rocket and they're nothin' but trouble. ...You're not tryin' to join up with 'em are ya?
[-- oh and this guy introduced himself. Kazuichi, huh?] I'm Rin Okumura, by the way.
no subject
Team Rocket? [What kind of name for an organization is that?] No, I'm not looking to join up with anyone. I'm looking for my friends.
Nice to meet you, Okumura-san.
no subject
Good meetin' you too, Kazuichi-san! [ONLY BECAUSE BANJOU CALLED HIM "OKUMURA-SAN" AND NO ONE REALLY CALLS HIM THAT]
If I ever do see your friends, I'll let 'em know you're lookin' for them. [It honestly won't be that hard to find a guy wearing an eye patch]
no subject
[He's a little out of his element, here. He'd go with Okumura normally, but he's trying to be a little more formal than he would otherwise be to get information about this place.]
They should all stand out if they're here.
[...at least he's aware that everyone he knows dresses oddly.]
no subject
You started it! Keep it to Okumura, then. "-san" is what they use for my brother. [HENCE THE MOMENTARY CHEER]
What did you and your friends do? ...Were you performers? [c'mon only cosplayers dress in eyepatches and numbered hoodies]
no subject
Okumura then.
[He sounds pretty grateful for that, actually.]
I guess you could call us performers.
[Not at all, actually, but he's not going to say that.]
They've dressed like that as long as I've known them. You'd have to ask them why they do it.
[It makes it sound like he's known Kaneki longer than he actually has, oops.]
no subject
[It was pretty cool, actually. This guy had style.]
no subject
Most people don't ask him about his beard. It is unusual looking, isn't it? He spends a little more time than he should trimming it.]
I have to stand out somehow.
no subject
I guess so! Next to weird clothes like that, you'll need something that really takes effort and style to pull off!
[It's settled: when Rin finally grows facial hair, he was going to trim his beard into a style like that too.]
no subject
God help all of Johto, Rin is going to end up looking like a dork.]
That's what I thought!
People remember all of us.
no subject
Rin's yet to meet a person who could pull off a style that could potentially look really lame on anyone else.]
Hell yeah!! [THIS IS SO EXCITING]
So what is it that you do with your performance? Are you break dancers?
no subject
Street musicians. I play guitar.
[This lie is going to come back to haunt him in the event Kaneki shows up....
But at least Banjou is competent enough with a guitar he isn't lying about a skill he doesn't have. That's a good thing, right?]
no subject
No way! That's awesome! [Banjou should be ashamed of himself for lying to an impressionable kid.]
no subject
I'll have to buy a new guitar and show you.
no subject
Really? All right! [shush he's secretly 10 years old on the inside] Do you play one of those country guitars or a rock n roll guitar?
no subject
Acoustic. The "country" one.
no subject
Okay, now all that must be done is for Banjou to prove all of his boasts and Rin will automatically add him to his list of Cool Dude.]
That one is really mellow too~. Like slow jazz! [Yes... Exactly like slow jazz. . . . ]
no subject
Something like that, anyway.
I don't think I'll be getting one here anytime soon.
no subject
no subject
maybe he'll pull this off??
Oh hell, who's kidding. He's going to make everything blow up in his face.]
No guarantees, but I'll try.
