壱 - Action

[gohon]

[ 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?

[ He nods. ]

"History class," huh? So you are Japanese. [ AND I'M FAMOUS???? ] From the future?

[ctrlaltdemons]

[YES YOU'RE FAMOUS...]

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]

[gohon]

Heh, that is interesting. [ More relaxed, he tucks his arms into his sleeves and studies this Atsuro kid. ...It's really tempting to ask how the Shinsengumi ended up, but decides it's best he doesn't. Doesn't mean he can't ask other things, though! ]

So, did the Shinsengumi really become that famous?

[ctrlaltdemons]

[wow get over yourself Souji; he's just excited about being from someone's future okok

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.

[gohon]

Hmm. That's a surprise. [ Wonder if they're good or bad stories? Maybe bad, considering their reputation... ] I guess I'll have to see how we turned out. [ grin. Though part of him is really hesitant, with his sickness and the growing restlessness of the political situation...

"Some other time" is tacked on there nonverbally, as his vision shifts back to scanning the crowd. ]

[ctrlaltdemons]

Yeah, you could always check that out sometime. Though I guess it would be kind of weird to read a book about yourself. [Or cool. ...Probably more weird and awkward than cool though. Especially if they're not necessarily good things...]

So! Is there anything else you needed, Souji? Or is that it?

[gohon]

Nope, that's it! [ small wave of the hand ] Thanks for the interesting conversation, Atsuro-kun.

[ctrlaltdemons]

[Returning the wave! Along with a grin.] Sure thing, Souji. If you ever need anything else, just let me know. [he likes helping people out it makes him feel useful]
