壱 - Action
[ When Souji finds himself in Luceti, he's in an understandable panic. He's by himself, his things are gone, and the damned book talks.
But it doesn't take him long to grasp the situation--he's somehow ended up in this different world brought in by some organization filled with crazy scientists, everyone needs the wings to survive, all his things are in the clothes and weapon shop, everything is free, and he can't go home. Despite everything being laid out for him all nice and neat, it just makes him even more angry. This must be a mistake. He doesn't belong here.
He does eventually find his way to the town center, and without delay grabs anything he recognizes as his. At this point he's gotten a good look of what kind of people are in this place, and it's quite obvious that none of them can be trusted. He's not going to take any chances.
...But someone must have an answer, right? ]
[ So if you pass through the square today you'll encounter Souji, in full Shinsengumi uniform and fully armed, arms crossed and eyes narrowed, peering cautiously at anyone who passes by. He looks relaxed, but a trained eye'd be able to tell that he's ready to strike at any moment. And it actually might look like he's smiling, but upon closer inspection, there's something more sinister behind those eyes.
Yeah, he knows there's nothing he can do, but it doesn't stop him from being pissed.
So if you're one of the lucky ones who makes eye contact, prepare to be approached. ]
Hey, you.
Got a moment?

Er, well... I'm not sure if anyone is exactly in charge of it... I just know that there are a lot of people who are at least trying to think of some ways of leaving. Some people have been here for a few years though, so it's hard to come up with methods that haven't already been thought up.
no subject
A frown. ] So it's true that whether or not you can leave is random.
no subject
Yeah, basically. There's a chance that you could even leave tomorrow, really. I've been here for about four months, but I know some people who have been here for years, and others who left after only a month or two.
no subject
That's all. Thanks.
no subject
No problem. Sorry I couldn't really help with that though.
[..] I'm Atsuro Kihara, by the way. What's your name?
no subject
sorry he's a dick ]
no subject
Okita Souji... Isn't that the name of the first unit captain of the Shinsengumi?
[...Now that he thinks of it, that would explain Souji's attire.]
no subject
So you've heard of me. That's good to know. [ but how because what are you wearing boi ]
no subject
Well yeah. I mean, anyone who pays attention in history classes would know of the name. You're saying that's you though?
[He really only sounds mildly surprised. Judging by Luceti's nature, it's not completely astonishing that someone like that would be here, sooo...]
no subject
"History class," huh? So you are Japanese. [ AND I'M FAMOUS???? ] From the future?
no subject
If you're really the Okita Souji I've heard about, then yeah. Compared to your time, I guess I really am from the future! Your future, anyway.
[The tone in his voice makes his enthusiasm over this fact very, very, very obvious... this is so cool. Atsuro's from the future fhaskfhkas]
no subject
So, did the Shinsengumi really become that famous?
no subject
Atsuro nods though.] Pretty much. Loads of stories and dramas have been made about them too. There's a chance that some of them may be in the library, actually.
no subject
"Some other time" is tacked on there nonverbally, as his vision shifts back to scanning the crowd. ]
no subject
So! Is there anything else you needed, Souji? Or is that it?
no subject
no subject
it makes him feel useful]
