Hello, everyone. As my funds will undoubtedly run out soon, I find myself in need of employment.

[A pause, and the sound of sipping tea.]

I should probably mention that my formally trained skills are mostly in defense and swordsmanship. I wouldn't mind something more simple, though, as I don't have a particular field in mind.

[He sounds as if he's going to stop speaking, but after a moment, he changes his mind.]

Also, I should really start looking for a roommate, as pets are most likely out of the question. My current housing situation is temporary.

[He sounds a bit frustrated at the last - he certainly didn't want to come to this conclusion.]

Ah.. hello. I think I understand a bit more about this device and how it works, now, so I thought I would try it out.

[He pauses here, as if considering what to say.]

It appears I will be staying for a while, so I should introduce myself. My name is Ukitake Juushirou. ...If it sounds familiar to you, perhaps we should meet to try to find a way home.

If not, that's all right. I'm always willing to meet new people.

[An intake of breath, as if he's remembering something.]

Oh yes... I do have a question. Is being in the company of others really the only way to make the ticking sound stop? It can be a bit difficult to sleep.

[This... was not where he expected to be. That's apparent by the look on his face, which is both confused and cautious. He makes a grab for the hilt of his sword, but does not draw it - yet.

He looks suspiciously at his surroundings and whispers to no one in particular.]

...Has he managed to fool us once again?

[Finding no answer or immediate danger in his surroundings or the nearby carousel, he looks at the device that suddenly appeared on his person, searching for clues. Accidentally activating the video. Those watching might be treated to a close up of Ukitake's nose hair. ]

What is this?
