"Not to my knowledge. I don't know how your gate works, though. Have you found other planets before?"

Permalink

"No.  This is the only Gate I know of, and it's been in the same place for a thousand years.  There are supposed to be other planets with people on them in our solar system, but we have no way of getting to them."

Permalink

"Do you know why your gate picked here?"

Permalink

"We don't know much about here, besides that it has humans and goats, and a magic system called 'shinobi' which we've never heard of."

Permalink

"What do you have instead of shinobi?"

Permalink

"Magic system wise, we have Sorcerers like myself, who are each granted a boon or a curse directly from our gods.  Mine is translation, which is common.  Healing other people is also common.  Mages implant themselves with a crystal and get a random magic power. Orichalcum artifacts are what Mika City is known for, beyond the gate.  Artifacts are made from orichalcum alloyed with a different metal, and depending on the metal and shape they have different abilities.  We also have pegasus, magical flying horses who will choose a pure-hearted person as their rider.

"There are others we're aware of, but don't have.  Vampires who drink blood, witches who brew potions, wizards who can do various magics... Not shinobi, though. 

"What are shinobi, other than magic?"

Permalink

"We use chakra. It's the energy in everyone and everything. Most people can do anything any other shinobi can, unless it's a bloodline. Bloodlines are genetic. Shinobi focus on more subtle arts like illusions, whereas samurai focus on enhancing weapons, and monks focus on mundane uses of chakra."

He translates for the guard captain.

"So, chakra is the magic system, and shinobi, samurai, and monks are philosophies or organizations?" they guess.

Permalink

"Pretty much - closer to philosophies, there are different groups of each. Suna has different shinobi than Konoha - Konoha is the shinobi village you're near."

Permalink

He nods, once again repeating for the guard captain.

It is at this time a proper delegation from Mika's government finally arrives, along with the maps asked for earlier.  A young man and woman of about the same age, and looking remarkably similar.  The shape of their outfits are both in the asymmetrical style of Mika, but the man's clothing is a single shade of vibrant blue embroidered in lighter and darker shades of the same, while the woman's is muted gray covered in pastel shades of every other color.  Neither outfit looks fit to fight in.  

The man receives a brief summary from the translator, then offers "I am Ezure, of the Quercus House, and my sister Elizara.  We were selected to make official contact with the leaders of this land, and are prepared to either visit your nearest town or invite a delegation to our city."

Permalink

The lead shinobi gestures, and one of the others behind him bows and heads off. "We'll bring the message to our leaders. I suspect it will be easier for the leader of Konoha to visit you than the other way around, but that the Daimyo - the overarching leader of this nation - will want you to come to his city, which is farther away."

Permalink

"It might be best for us to speak with the local leader first, particularly if the Daimyo's city is more than a day's journey on horseback."

Permalink

He nods. "It's about five days' journey that way, and it is customary for local officials to field initial diplomatic inquiries."

Permalink

"We will await word on your local leader, and prepare for guests."

Permalink

"Very well. Do you need anything of us in the meantime?"

Permalink

"No, I can't think of anything."  

There are a number of issues in the city, with half of it suddenly cut off from the other half, but they aren't the sorts that could be helped from here.  

Permalink

"How should we contact you when our leader is ready?"

Permalink

"The - well, I'd say the portal isn't going anywhere, but I suppose that's not a guarantee any more.  The best way would be to tell our guards at the gate and have them send for me, unless your chakra magic can do something for it."  They might be able to make an orich-electrum pen set that can write on two papers at once, but not even he has anywhere near enough authority to get one and loan it out.  

Permalink

"Most other methods we'd use would probably take set up. Alerting the guards works for us."

Permalink

"Okay, good.  Will there be any non-obvious things we'd have to prepare?"

Permalink

"Their security people will probably want to talk to your security people, especially if there's any extraordinary threats in your world."

Permalink

"I can't think of any threats that would get through the gate."

Permalink

"Is there anything they might face while in your city?"

Permalink

"Not that I can think of.  We have an average level of pickpockets and muggers for a city, unfortunately, but they won't bother a guarded group.  There's a chance that there might be riots over the gate breaking, but our guards can handle that and we're already taking actions to keep this half of the city running."
