参 - Voice/Action
[ voice ]
[ The feed turns on, but there's a slight moment of silence before Souji finally speaks. ]
Hajime Saitou, Shinsengumi third division captain. Heisuke Toudou, Shinsengumi eighth division captain.
...Looks like they've been sent home, huh?
[ action/voice ]
[ Later that afternoon you will find not one, but two Soujis making their presence known in the town square. Standing on benches near the fountain, they both have books open and seem to be reading from them, projecting their voices over the wide open area. There's an open journal by their feet, simultaneously broadcasting it over the network. Wonder what they're doing? Why not take a closer look? ]
[laughing] Okay, here is one of my favorites:
[DRAMATIC CLEARING OF THROAT and speaking loudly enough for the entire plaza to hear]
春の花五色までは覚えけり
Of the spring flowers
I have remembered up to
The fifth colour.
[.....pffffffffffhahahahahah]
Which is your favorite~?
[ GRINNING. It is SO hard not to break out into laughter. ]
Hm, that's a rather nice one, but I guess I prefer--
うくひすやはたきの音もつひやめる
Cuckoo and duster
Sounds from one and the other
Both stop suddenly
--It's pretty deep, don't you think? But I think if you think about it for too long you might get a headache.
[ Looks like it's a poetry reading, but too bad it's all awful.
Replies will also be coming from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ahappylie! The order will be You > Hakuouki!Souji > PMK!Souji. ]

But I'm sure there were things he needed to do back in his world. [I mean, Shinsengumi. Come on.]
[voice]
hmm. ]
[voice] except i don't have a brain, not really, crying
...Are you with the Shinsengumi too? It sounds like you knew them well. Personally, I mean.
[action]
...he just seemed...well, so much nicer, is all. She hears the water of the fountain, which was a dead give-away to their location - though Chizuru guessed that they had no intention of hiding or anything...]
Okita-san..! Er, Okita-sans! [She knew this would get confusing eventually. Here she is arriving in the town square, crouching over and catching her breath for a moment.] Are you...are those...[Breathe, girl. Breathe...
Sure, Chizuru couldn't exactly blame you two for wanting to stir up trouble--er, that is, have some fun--in the wake of Heisuke and Saitou's departure. To be honest, she'd been looking for some sort of distraction too. Maybe she was a little envious that it came easier for the two of them than it did for her.]
[action]
[ He clears his throat and gives a very small cough, raising the book up. ]
Even the insect
Flying by the open flame
May still have a dream
[ He looks back at her, grinning. ]
[action]
You...[Keep a stiff lip, girl.] You didn't write those, did you?
[What on earth did that haiku even mean? An insect...flame...what does dream have to do with it?]
[action]
The cherry blossom
Does not seem to be a part
Of an earthly world.
[action]
So what kind of world do you think they're from, then? [ To Souji, keeping up the banter. We've got the best audience now! ]

[Action] - shut up and let me be terrible. xD
Oh right. There'd been a leak somewhere and she'd offered to help take some of the excess water down to the river to get rid of it.
Then she came across one Souji she recognized and another that she didn't and boy were they being dorky. So Selphie in the spirit of good fun and because she can, will be sneaking up behind them with her bucket of water and throwing at the two of them.
So what happens, Gentlemen? Do you both get wet or does it miss?]
[Action]
Souji manages to dodge, but maybe gets slightly sprinkled in the process. After making sure the poetry book wasn't damaged, he'll give a very pointed look at her. And his hand on his sword. ]
[Action]
Hello, Selphie-san. Is there something you needed?
[Action]
Would you mind reading poetry that actually makes sense?
[Action]
A poem that makes sense... [ Flipping through until the back of the book... and he just slams it shut. ] Nope, sorry! Couldn't find one!

action; i just remembered this existed. also 1/2 probably
Anyway, he checks his journal after getting ready for (what's left of) the day and such. There's usually nothing interesting on it, so he's just idly skimming. But oh, seems like Souji put something on here, that could be important.....]
..................................
action; no I lied!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2/3
action; never mind i'm just a horrid liar idk i'll tell you when it's over CLOSE YOUR EYES!!!! 3/4
action; 4/4 okay bedtime bye have fun. jerks.
The point is, the bastards have his haiku and he's going to take them back!!! He has to get them off the streets and back into his drawer where they belong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He makes it to the square in what is probably record time. He's learned enough by now not to announce his presence over the journals, but you two saw this coming, right? You felt his wrath from oceans away, no doubt.
Fortunately for you, his wrath is pretty contained at the moment. It's a simmering volcano that hasn't quite blown its top yet. Yet. So when he speaks from behind the two Soujis it's deceivingly quiet.]
Having fun?
action;
It does not--
[ And then he hears The Voice.
oh
He turns around slowly. ]
Oh. It's Hijikata-san.
action;
Long conversation.
[Finishing that poem even if Hijikata is here.]
Hello, Hijikata-san~
