[Finally feeling better and able to go out, Okita was having quite a good time seeing everyone else's changes. It wasn't until he woke up this morning and tried to roll out of bed that he noticed something was wrong.

Very wrong.

But, perhaps people wouldn't notice.

Thus, Okita goes about his normal routine. As a woman. He's busy trying to cover that up, however, with a little padding around the waist and by keeping to his usual attire. Particularly attentive people, however, might notice he has a slight bust now and his voice is just a little higher than usual.

People can find him anywhere, from House 50 to the town getting supplies to the Welcome Center or even out on patrols.]

Adventures are fun. You just have to learn to enjoy them.

...And yes? What is it?

[consultmybooks]

Not my sort of adventures.

...there were four people from my world here. [Are, possibly.] I'm sure I've mentioned them to you. What were their names?

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

You need to have better adventures.

[He thinks for a moment, tapping his chin.] Well...Buffy-san, Xander-san, Willow-san.... You... There may be others, but I haven't met them.

[consultmybooks]

...right. [That was not the answer he was looking for, and now he's really concerned.] Ah, thank you for, um, r-reminding me, Okita-san.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

What is wrong, Giles-san?

[consultmybooks]

Everyone seems to think I should know those three.

I don't. It's very frustrating.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

...You don't know them? But you spoke of them so often to me.

[consultmybooks]

I don't remember that. I remember talking about Tara, Larry, Oz, and Kendra to you. But not those three.

Buffy has all these strange...thought bubbles floating over her head, and I saw myself in some of them. So now I'm wondering if I'm wrong.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

.......Perhaps the experiments are being stranger than we thought?

[consultmybooks]

I think they are.

Have you been affected at all, Okita-san? [If Okita didn't want this hidden so badly, this would be the perfect thing to tease Giles about later.]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Mm....I don't know. Do you think I have been?

[consultmybooks]

W-Well, it doesn't seem like it to me.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Then let's leave it at that, hm?

[consultmybooks]

Yes. Let's leave it at that.

...I wonder if the Malnosso can control the weather.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't be surprised. They can trap us here and do all sorts of things, so why not the weather, too?

[consultmybooks]

It's been years since I've seen snow that was actually...well, caused by the weather.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Is there no natural snow in America?

[consultmybooks]

Plenty, in certain areas. California is not one of them - the last snow we had was literal divine intervention.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Oh, I was unaware of that... Is California very hot?

[consultmybooks]

Very hot. All year. It's near the ocean, so that contributes to it.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

How strange. Many of our cities are near the ocean, but it still snows. California sounds like such an exotic country.

[consultmybooks]

[He laughs] A lot of people think of it that way, even in America. I don't, but then again I live there.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Oh, is it not a country? I'm not well versed in foreign countries.

[consultmybooks]

America is the country.

Then you have fifty different states...provinces...that can function a little more independently of one another. California is one of the states.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Ah, so it is a han?
