[ 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

ahappylie! The order will be You > Hakuouki!Souji > PMK!Souji. ]

Nope! What is it?

[ Hm, it's a kid. How complicated should this be?

...She seems genuinely curious, so there's no need to make it too convoluted. ]

We're like the police, and we're pretty famous where we're from.

Which world is that, d'you know? So are you a captain, too?

Japan. ...Earth, I suppose. [ it's not everyday Souji talks to someone not from his own world or one closely related. Well, this'll be fun. ]

I am. First division captain, actually.

Oh, Japan! I know a few people from there! Masaomi says lots of people are from lots of different Japans, and I do know lots of people from Earth. With the animals that are split up! I'm from the air nomad nation, 'cept probably more properly Republic City. It's not your place!

So you're in charge of those other people you mentioned?

[ He's got the first part (yeah, learning firsthand that there are definitely multiple Japans, even down to the same people), but it's when she starts talking about air nations. He'll just roll with it for now. ] Of course. You're pretty knowledgeable, yeah? That's good, for a kid your age.

...Mm, you could say that's about half true. We're all about equal, but Hajime-kun puts up a pretty good fight.

I just talk to lots of people! [ ALL THE PEOPLE. ] An' our world doesn't seem to have any that have the same places.

Do you like being a policeman?
