I hail from a world that is also a giant ship called the Xianzhou Luofu. But my home is truly the Astral Express, a train that travels amongst the stars. So I would count as an "alien" I suppose.
I try not to hurt people unless they are going to hurt my friends. I am a bodyguard of the Express.
And....perhaps we should meet in person at least once before friendship is decided upon, yes?
[He may be teasing. Just a little.But as an introvert, especially one who knows someone like Sampo Koski....one can't fault him for being weary. Even the information he's about to give is...he's not sure he should. But ah well.]
I'm often on the training grounds, or in the base library. The cloaking device refuses to hide my dragon horns and scales on base, so those should be. Obvious.
As for your last question....also rather personal. Being "happy" has many variables. Are you, Sir?
[He might have taken this more literally than intended...]
Amamiya Reiji, nice to meet you Dan Heng. Though why can't friendship be decided after a simple conversation here? You're not keeping secrets from me, are you?
You as well, Mr. Amamiya. And...I suppose...? Like a penpal...but is not the point of being brought to this world to fight alongside each other? [((Not that they'll get the chance in this mission, Dan Heng being kidnapped and all lmao.))]
...not secrets, just...it'd be odd to share one's entire life story with one they'd just met, yes? And I've had dealings with a certain scam artist, who I know is here somewhere, so forgive me for being weary. It's not personal.
I'm glad. And if you are averse to meeting in person, however, I understand. [There could be various benign reasons for it. Anxiety, illness, etc...]
Al...right. That's...good I suppose. [Does this mean...setting something up? Or will they just...run into each other sometime? Social nuances that Dan Heng still struggles with...]
We are. However, even with the same goal in mind, many have different ways of approaching and accomplishing them. I suppose that trolley question was a good example. I would like to find a way to remove the problem, but if there's no time...I suppose the "logical" answer would be to sacrifice the one for the many. But if the one is someone precious to me?
...I would sacrifice the many.
[As much as he'd like to be better than Dan Feng, he knows that part of him is still there. The part that would doom the world to save one friend, to not be alone. It's frightening, but at least he's aware of it.]
...Besides tying oneself to the tracks for fun, what would be your approach to such a situation?
I appreciate your honesty about this. Most people would kill many if it saves their one precious person
But I don't actually intend to tie myself or anyone on the train tracks That would be quite wrong to do Other than those hypothetical scenarios I like to spar Do you?
Yes. “Paying it forward”, as it were. I hope new recruits will have an easier time settling in, and not have to face the aftermath of a mission gone wrong like we did ((ha……)). No trains. [He knows what he means, but Dan Heng still misses the Astral Express. It’s not here either, though.]
I…
It’s good to meet you, sir. Come find me in the training room for sparring anytime, Mr. Amamiya.
[A very shy response to such a compliment. This “alien” is perhaps a bit embarrassed and surprised at being called “good”...if Reiji finds Dan Heng in his noodle form in the future he’d be terribly easy to pick up and walk away with lmao…]

I work for the police you know~
Protecting people is important
(no subject)
It sure is an answer. An unconventional one but...
[Makes him wonder if this person is from the Fools' Tavern...]I worked as a bodyguard before being brought here. Protecting people is important.
....also what is the police?
(no subject)
(no subject)
Is there a particular threat your Police defends against?
(no subject)
That sounds so much cooler than police
Ahhh
Well, we protect people against aliens
(no subject)
Perhaps. It's all I've known for my young life, so it sounds ordinary to me.
[And Preceptors. And the Ten Lords' Commission. One grew very familiar with the terms of law enforcement when growing up within prison walls.]Aliens? So your world does have contact from other worlds? What classifies as an alien for your police?
(no subject)
Being born on another planet
Etc etc!
Those kinds of small differences.
Are you an alien?
(no subject)
...will certain answers get me in trouble with your Police? I will say, most Outsiders here are likely from worlds other than your own, so...
(no subject)
We like aliens
We don't like aliens who hurt people~

Be friends!
Aren't you happy?
Never! Glad to see you, back tags are always welcome!
....a good alien. I appreciate it.

Do you?
Why are ur icons so pretty...
I suppose so. Especially here. I do not delight in death, however. I wish it were not necessary to inflict upon others, regardless of the reason.
Ah that's. That's good. I'm glad to hear it. I imagine we will get another such question with the next wave of recruits ((IE. Next TDM in 3 hours??))
Sparring is good for building team synergy and strength. I suppose I can enjoy it. I'd be open to sparring with you sometime?
because this man is too pretty!!!
Right?
No trains this time, I promise.
I'd like that.
You're a good alien
[ two steps away from patting dan heng's head and taking him in asldja ]
He is! Also I'm very behind on tags hhsdfs gomen
No trains. [He knows what he means, but Dan Heng still misses the Astral Express. It’s not here either, though.]
