[ 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?

[ 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.

[So here's a Selphie and she conveniently happens to have a bucket in her hands. Whatever did she need a bucket for on that lovely fall day?

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?]

[ selphie you can't sneak up on two expert swordsmen!!!!

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. ]

[Yupyup, jumping to the side. It splashes the hem of his kimono and he looks at Selphie, curiously.]

Hello, Selphie-san. Is there something you needed?

[Drat. Foiled again! She'll walk around to face them from the front as she left her bucket behind her. She's looking at the two of them curiously before she points to the books in their hands.]

Would you mind reading poetry that actually makes sense?

[ Studying her for a moment, before flipping through the book. ]

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!

You really shouldn't request the impossible, Selphie-san.

[durhurhur. he looks over at his twin and smiles]

Shall we read a few more to give her a better taste of this particular poet's style?

[You know, Souji, she didn't know you were a closet troll. At any rate, she'll walk over to the two of them and seat herself nearby on the fountain's ledge.]

Make it a good one then.

[ He's still slightly put off, but he wouldn't turn down a request! Giving a snicker, he opens to a random page and ~~coughs a little~~ clears his throat. ]

My own age also
Along with the blooming flowers
Respect the old days.

[obviously, Selphie, you have not hung out with him enough.

He looks at her as she seats herself and listens to his twin give a reading. He considers and nods, applauding.]

Yes, that is one of his better ones.

[It's so short though but it sounds comical as she laughs a bit at it. Maybe it's just the way that it's being read but the two Sanji's have amused her. Although if they want to, they can shove her into the fountain like good little disobedient Shinsengumi.]

What's the style of that poem called anyway?
