Is everyone getting settled in?

That was certainly a strange time for a New Feather wave! I hope you're all doing well, and that you know the Welcome Center is here to help you. Several people have mentioned it already, but if residents would keep an eye open for the stragglers? There are probably going to be a few of those...

[He pauses and then switches subjects]

Hijikata-san~ I have something I need to tell you.

And for the rest of my new roommates~ Perhaps we should move? We are getting a little cramped, after all. I've located a suitable house that has enough rooms for everyone. What do you think?

1840s Japan over other places in particular? I'm not too familiar with the time period.

[It takes him awhile to figure out if 1840 is right or not]

Ah, 1860s, I think. But no, it's less the time and more the place. Kyoto is the capital and has been for a very long time - there have been many wars and many people who came here seeking refuge only to find none and perish in unhappiness. Hajime-san tells me stories of the ghosts he sees sometimes. Usually they're never very happy.

Typically if a ghost manifests at all, it's not very happy.

[Then, because his description of Kyoto was a little too...firsthand] Still. There doesn't seem to much in the way of ghosts or demons here. That's something, I suppose.

That's true, I suppose. [He laughs a bit.]

Yes, there doesn't seem to be. I wouldn't know the difference, but I suppose Hajime-san would be a bit happier here.
