[ 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)

[ 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]
Ah! [Chizuru's hands shoot up to her mouth to cover her gasp. She suddenly runs up to their sides, trying to peer over their arms to get a better look.] Th-those are Hijikata-san's...?!
[action]
[He looks to Chizuru and smiles.]
Oh, are you a fan, too? Perhaps we should read some more?
[And back to Me-san.]
I think we should read more, don't you?
[action]
[ ahem ]
How interesting
This train of night kimono
And the morning snow.
[action]
She...she should probably try to get those poems back, shouldn't she?!]
Th...that's quite enough, don't you think!?
[First step's trying to ask for them back, as unlikely as it'd be.] Come on, we should return those where they belong. [Not quite a request, but good enough!]
[action]
[READING TIME.]
The palm of my hand
I use it as my inkstone
On the spring mountain~
[action]
[ He pauses and grins, letting his twin read the poem. ]
See? Wasn't that nice? Do you have any requests, Chizuru-chan?
[action]
Eh? [Request? Request...
...well, since 'something I can understand' might not be the most productive of requests, how about going with--]
Are there any...[Blush.]...maybe something of a love poem?
[action]
[J U D G I N G Y O U only not.]
I believe there are a few. Let us think for a moment.
