[Souji is at home and it's too quiet. He ends up talking to Saizou, his pig, for company a lot lately and this time, Saizou steps on the journal as he's talking, picking up bits and pieces of their one-sided conversation.]

--nder...why...--that some ......--ile others go, Saizou?

[The pig grunts and Souji laughs softly, sounding tired and worn.]

Mm...yes, I suppose we'll never know.....--haps....world returns.....--work still left to complete; and leaves ...... --no longer necessary.

[He's quiet for a moment and then lets out a heavy sigh, dismissing his own thoughts.]

No, that's silly. ....--ing me the jour--....

[The microphone picks up the muffled bumps and thumps as Saizou bites the journal and brings it over for Souji. He presses the on button again, unaware that it was already recording. When he addresses everyone, he's much chipper like he always, no trace of his earlier stress.]

I learned a new game so I have a question for everyone~

Would you rather eat nothing but your favorite food forever or never eat your favorite food again?

Also, it has been quite awhile, but anyone who knew my other self, Hijikata-san or Chizuru-chan; they've all returned to their homes.

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Yes, you are.

[Because he puts up with Souji's trolling.]

You needn't adapt to them, just try them.

Ah! I know! I'll come by later on tonight and bring you a tray of all sorts of things to try.

No way in hell.

[PSSH. Souji, look around at Smoker's castmates. His best friends in canon call him ugly and fat respectively. What trolling?]

[Also he just gives Okita a look, sort of continuing that, "No way in hell," and with a, "Really? We're going to do this? Really?"]

I'll see you at the hour of the rooster~

Oh! But there isn't anything you would get sick from eating, yes? Just things you don't like?

[Facepalms.]

Nothing I know of anyway. Not that I'm agreeing to this.

Don't bring any chocolate, onions, or citrus though. Hyoga is sneaky and not that bright. [Ikki's wolf-dog.]

You tried only eating pie and cake all the time?

No, that sounds like an awful idea.

There are a couple cats in our household, yes. Nothing like some of the fancier, ah... 'pets' I've seen around.

Will it grow very large?

Stop picking a 'favorite?'

[ Or you know, stop telling this... mystery force dictating one's diet. ]

A person in blue...?

That sounds unique.

...

[Wow, ouch. That. Is a lot more than he expected. Souji realizes that he actually hasn't known too much about Kohaku since the last time she was here, especially since she had forgotten him before. Apparently now she remembers, but...]

...You certainly had a busy few days. Since then it has been many years though, yes? You live as a human with someone?

Hm~ You enjoy cats then? We have a fish and a giant yellow bird and a chicken, too. But only the giant yellow bird is trained very well.

Saizou... [He looks down at the pig who snorts back up at him.] He should, yes, but not by much more than he is already. He's no longer a piglet, after all.

Well, I tried eating them for a day. I needed to know which I liked better since someone asked.

It was wonderful up until I became sick.

Of course you're not.

[But he totally has. Souji shifts and gets up from where he was sitting.]

And that's not a very nice way to talk about a friend. I'm sure he must be very bright to be so sneaky.

I don't recall what the name of the job was... But I suppose it doesn't matter.

You stopped me from doing it.

That was how we met though. Funny sort of way to meet, hm?

Almost two hundred years since then, yes. And I suppose I do live like a human, with a few differences from Shuichiro.

But I'm happy with it.

[He laughs at that.]

That is one way to circumvent it.

What is your favorite food, then?

A few differences...?

Must have been a hell of a week.

...Glad to meet you again, though.

I still have my magic, and can still fly. I don't eat anything, and just things like that. I even still have my wings, but they don't give off a glow anymore.

Hmm~ [He hums quietly, taking that in. So she's mostly the same, save for the lack of Heaven and the glow... And she seems more mature, older somehow. It makes sense, considering her age now.]

How have you liked living in the human world for so long?

It was rather fun. People were being very silly.

[He laughs lightly.] And yes, it is an honour to meet you again, Derek-san.

It's interesting. Watching so many things change, and learning more than I ever would in heaven. I don't even faint when I see a dead fish. [Yes, that's a very important thing!]

Although, it can be almost painful to care about a human so much.

[Yeah, that is an important thing, actually! Considering how he remembers her, that's a huge step.

He would comment on those things, but her last statement gives him pause.]

But the pain is worth it, isn't it?

Of course. Just seeing him makes me happy, even though he doesn't remember any of his past lives.

It's...interesting to see the same soul, but get to see a new Shuichiro each time.

[Oh yeah, she's grown up quite a bit!]

With that much sugar? Yes, I imagine so.

[...are all the Shinsengumi so weird.]

Which did you like better?

So besides hang out and ask philosophical questions, what do you do around here?
