[may 15; late morning/noonish]
[so like

If anyone happens to go on over into the item shop, they'll find a man -- who, to be quite honest, looks more like a boy, if anything -- curled up on the floor of one of the back corners, next to a large pile of stuffed animals and, uh... pillows. He may or may not have knocked all of these over in his sleep. He's quite a graceful sleeper over there, you see. Especially since he's curled up all over one of those pillows. A very large one of those pillows with an image of a certain Toshizo Hijikata on it. Is he aware of it? nope.

...Yeah. May wanna wake him up.]




[may 16; evening]
[The following day, once he's more or less settled and kind of knows of what's going on here, he can be found walking over to Seventh Heaven for food. Except once he gets to the restaurant? He finds the bar. But he decides to actually not get a real drink for once while there. Instead, he gets one of these... milkshake things. A chocolate milkshake. What the heck is a chocolate milkshake. He's staring this thing down with a raised eyebrow before trying it.]

Huh...

[Feel free to poke at the guy who's staring at a milkshake like it's a cup of rainbow brussel sprouts and platypi.]

Comments

[nikori]

[respect yo elders okay no]

Yeah! Nice to meet ya, Battler! I don't think the name sounds too strange. I think I've heard some weirder ones.

[divinacommedia]

Hah, what about Jessica, George, or Maria? Those are my cousins.

[nikori]

Hmmm... [Let's see...]

You know, out of those, I think the name 'George' sounds the most strange. [Nod nod. Yeah. Definitely.]

[divinacommedia]

Wahahaha! Poor George-aniki! He'd be hurt if he heard that.

[he takes another sip of his milkshake.] I haven't seen you around before, are you new or something?

[nikori]

Hahaha! Sorry, sorry. [But it's true. It does sound weird..! Ah well.

Seeing as how Heisuke's done with his own milkshake, he orders another. This time, strawberry!] Hm? Oh, yeah. I just got here yesterday morning. Is it that obvious?

[divinacommedia]

[oho! he's quick!]

Ihihi~! Kind of.... especially since you were staring at that milkshake like it was going to eat you right up. If you were here longer I think you would have gotten used to it.

[nikori]

Ah, yeah. I guess that would make it obvious, huh? [...He really can't deny that, as much as he'd like to!]

Man, there are loads of strange things here though, besides these milkshakes..

[divinacommedia]

Huh? What other strange things? [he's curious...talking to a samurai is cool!!]

[nikori]

Well, for one, there are the wings. [Which are still kind of hurting him. Gaaaah.] It's kinda hard to sleep with those...

Aside from that though, I guess the buildings too? And most of the clothes people wear. [Even weirder than the Western clothing he's accustomed to!]

[divinacommedia]

Oh yeah it is... I guess you get used to that after a while though.

[Battler nods.] Some of the clothes are really weird, I agree! I guess it's just from people coming here from different worlds...

[nikori]

Really? I hope so. I didn't get much sleep 'cause of it, so.. [And he likes his sleep..!]

But yeah, I guess. And there's also the fact that people come from different times, huh? [Which he now knows thanks to Battler?! So weird..]

[divinacommedia]

Different times, different worlds- it's weird talking to people that aren't even from Japan.

At least you and me are from the same place! Just... different eras.

[nikori]

Haha, yep! I guess it's at least comforting to know that some people are kind of from the same world as us, right? And someone I know from home is here too, actually, so... [hurrah at least there are some familiar things.. kind of..]

[divinacommedia]

[Battler's intrigued a little by that.]

Oh yeah? And who's that? Ah! Is it a girl~? Ihihi! It better be!

[nikori]

[...not sure if this guy is a bro or a creep]

W-what..? Hell no! Souji's not a girl at all! [and if he was then wow he's one ugly girl]

[divinacommedia]

[A CREEPY BRO.]

Hm- the guy's name is Souji huh? Too bad, this conversation would have gotten a lot more interesting if it were a girl.

[nikori]

[A REALLY CREEPY BRO..?!]

Yeah. He's one of the captains like me, but he's not a girl, so! [ew] I mean, I know a girl, but she's not here.

[divinacommedia]

You know a girl? Damn, I hope so- it would be really boring if you only hung around guys, right?

You need someone to look at~! Ihihi! Is she pretty?

[nikori]

Yeah! I mean, for a while it was just us guys, but then she came and stayed with us. [because of reasons--]

She's pretty cute though, yeah. If she ever happens to come here, I'll make sure to introduce you to her.

[divinacommedia]

St....stayed with you?! Oh man you even have a girl living with you?!

Ihihi! This is excellent, oh yes it is~! I'll want to meet her right away if she ever shows up here.

[nikori]

[He nods.] Yep, we do! There's a whole story and reason behind it though, so yeah. [He probably shouldn't explain it though, so...!]

I'll make sure to keep that in mind then, Battler! She's really nice, so you guys'll probably get along well, too.

[divinacommedia]

Would you tell me the story? I like to hear stories a lot~!

[nikori]

Well... I get why you're curious, but... I dunno if it's something I can really talk about, even here. [He's already gotten punched in the face for this stuff, he'll watch his mouth...! He doubts it would be appropriate to explain, especially in Hijikata's opinion...]

[divinacommedia]

[Battler glances around and then leans in towards Heisuke.]

Why? Someone listening in on our convo?

[nikori]

[..hnng what do..! Heisuke glances around himself.]

Nah, I don't think so. It's not really somethin' we're allowed to tell random people though. [sorry bro] Maybe I can let you in on it another time though.
