[It is time. Have a new face on the network, one that is quite handsome and framed by long, dark hair, dangly red earrings, and a single braid on the left side of his face.

And, well, he'd be even more handsome if he weren't scowling. But there's good reason for him being upset!]

All this talk about sex...okay, I assume that's what you're all talking about because you're either artistically vague or crudely vague. I thought we had a serious mission to complete or something. Maybe I misunderstood.

[He sniffs at that, clearly not believing such an outcome.]

Whatever. But another thing. Be careful about just entrusting your swords to people. They have feelings. too.

[Suddenly, from somewhere off-camera, there's a few grunting noises. Kanesada glances at it and his expression darkens again.]

Right. Important matters.

[He turns the device around to show...a rabbit? If such a thing could really represent the rest of its species, what with its three eyes and...mandibles. But it just glances at Kanesada, tilting its head to the side as if questioning what he's looking at. Kanesada continues from off-screen.]

Oh, yeah, it looks all innocent now, but this...demon rabbit has been following me for, like, three nights. And I've seen it suck at least one man dry, like it's a vampire! But there's obviously something wrong with it, 'cause why would it be normal in the daytime? Does it have its own curse?

...Can demon rabbits get cursed? Wouldn't they do the cursing?

I know I oughtta just kill it, but I almost feel sorry for the damn thing.

[The rabbit perks up at that last sentence and snuffles in offense. Kanesada sighs and turns the device back to face him.]

So, yeah. If you see it at night? Run like hell, unless you're a competent fighter. And even then, I'd probably still suggest running. On top of everything else, it probably has a thick hide under all that fur.
