Gee, middle of nowhere woods, mountains. Wouldn't be surprised if I met Jon Snow at some point here. I swear this place better not just be a medieval festival full of HEMA professionals, Kenshiro thought to himself walking along the trail.
His helmet displayed a HUD featuring the temperature at a cool 56 as he took the opportunity to remove his helmet taking in the fresh air. It had been 30 minutes prior to arrival and he was closing in on a large structure, hopefully civilization in his case, maybe a friendly one in that matter, but he continued.
His attention came to distraction, as he inspected bushes while mimicking the movements of Connor Kenway from Assassins Creed III as he childishly grew bored, finding ways to entertain himself. It got to the point where he started developing his own Haiku, on the way.
"How long is this road
Trees, Bush, Hedges, Nature, Grass
Bored out of my ass"
"Heh, plus one for that rhyme," he said to himself out loud.
Kenshiro finally arrived to the walls and gates casually walking while looking around. His sword holstered on his back while he carried his helmet with his left hand. His faded and worn black armor and garbs had contrast and texture that showed the modern designs of his gear being from the 21st century, where he knew he'd stick out as a foreigner. He approached the gate and gave a knock.
"Heyo, not from around here, I come in peace...may I come in?" He simply asked nonchalantly.

[b]The gates open, and a man with a blond mustache obscuring most of his face looks at you [/b] "Yeah you can. All are welcome."
-
"Yo, awesome man, thanks!" He exclaimed as he entered Dojoville. Upon entry he took note of the locations and the Dojo itself, which intrigued him even more.
-
[b]The man followed, noting how you looked at everything. [/b] "Odd."
-
*a loud rustling can be heard in the bushes to his left, as well as some high-pitched snarling and a yelp here and there*
-
Kenshiro frowned turning to his left with his body but not his legs giving an exaggerated lean. "Yo this better just be a squirrel something," he said approaching the bush helmed to his side while he wore his surplus pack on his back.
-
*Behind the bush is a fairly small Arctic fox, wrestling a rather large snake. The snake has clearly tried biting it, but its fur is too thick, so its attempting to strangle the small canine, which is thrashing around in a panic trying to get the snake off*
-
"Dude, there's like a snake over here trying to eat this fox," he said to the tower walls to anyone behind it. "Hmm survival of the fittest or not?" Kenshiro pondered as he looked to the snake drawing his sword over his back while he took a step closer.
-
*the snake eventually gets the upper hand and wraps itself around the fox's neck. Aside from a bunch of choking sounds, it sounds like he's trying to say help*
-
"Ahh...damn my good morals," he groaned. Kenshiro grabbed the head of the snake pinching its head and fangs so that he controlled it. He wedged the razor sharp ninjato between the coil, slicing the snake vertically with the sword to release the Arctic Fox.
-
*as the snake's body drops limp, the fox gasps for air, and then starts breathing sporadically. after a few minutes, his breathing is back to normal. he sits up on his haunches and looks up at you with his silver eyes, seemingly smiling as his tail swooshes side to side*
-
"Hello Kitsune," Kenshiro said dropping on a knee wiping his bloodied blade and sheathing it while addressing it by it's mythical Japanese title. "You know, my dad thinks you guys are demons...I'm talking to a fox, I'm losing it," he said looking at an angle furrowing his brow.
-
*the fox makes a giggling type sound. it then proceeds to talk to you* Im not Kitsune silly, ive met him though. He's nice. And your not losing it, plenty of people talk to me.
-
Kenshiro stood up staring directly ahead before putting on his helmet walking away. "Hydell, you sent me to god damn Narnia, there's a giant castle here, the animals are talking, I don't know if I can do this anymore man." Static could be heard from his helmet as there was obviously no signal that could relay back to his friends. He turned and looked back to the fox and the castle giving a heavy sigh before walking towards them again. He removed his helmet. "Okay, so, how can you talk?"
-
I think the better question is "why am i walking around in my feral form". I dont usually look like this, heehee. And to answer the talking thing, im not from around here.
-
"Feral form?! Well...wait are you like some form of animal shapeshifter?!" He exclaimed. "And that's good to hear, another foreigner- the question is Where the Hell are we?!" He yelled out
-
1. Yes, i can shapeshift, please dont ask how. 2. The Dojo. duh. didnt you see it?
-
"The...what the hell what Dojo?!?" There's just a giant town over this wall and behind this door, and I'm not sure if they're gonna let either of us i-" "Wait you've been here for awhile?! You know what's it called?"
-
Uh, yeah. Behind that wall is the Dojo. The galaxy's greatest collection of fighters yatta yatta yatta.
-
"Dude no way...." Kenshiro immediately ran to the door as he was about to knock until it opened revealing the tall blonde man who eyed him: "Ayyyyy we in!" He exclaimed looking about.
-
*i laugh as i pad over next to you* dude, i can go in and out as i please.
-
"So what does this place have? Anything fancy, cool, like bars, or cool blacksmiths like in Skyrim?" He wondered looking about. "Oh yeah, name's Kenshiro."
-
This place is Quite literally a living, futuristic Skyrim. I take it your from earth? Name's Quincy by the way
-
"Yup, good ol' 2016....at least when I last left. Are you a native as well, aside from the whole...animal transformation thing."
-
well, im from earth. never spent too much time there though...
-
"Right...." Kenshiro said with a brow raised. "Well, what does this place have to offer aside from being a Real Life Mortal Kombat training ground...."
