[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.

[ahappylie]

...Trapped in hell?

[ahappylie]

Siblings have a way of being that way.

Who is your partner, if I may ask?

[Voice]

[faithfulflame]

Then sometime soon, and think nothing of it Souji-san.

[As if she could really expect a favor out of one of the Shinsengumi...who didn't treat her like a child. Hijikata-san...you ass]

[Voice]

[amberguardian]

That must be lonely.

[Voice]

[ahappylie]

There are always new staff coming and I'm quite used to working alone by now. It isn't difficult.

[Voice]

[ahappylie]

Yes, sometime soon then.

[What do you expect? It's Hijikata-san.]

[Voice]

[amberguardian]

But what is there to do at night?

[Voice]

[ahappylie]

You would be surprised. I always find something to keep myself occupied.

The night is becoming my day, after all. So what people do during the day, I simply do when the moon is out.

[Voice]

[amberguardian]

But there's not many people. And it's harder to see things at night.

[yourhatred]

Ah... one of the pirates. Trafalgar Law.

[It's not all that much of a secret.]

[ahappylie]

Ah~ The man with the funny hat! Yes, I think I know of him.

[Souji only has cursory interaction with the pirates, weirdly enough.]

Do you help him at his clinic, too?

[Voice]

[ahappylie]

Only if you aren't used to it.

I worked mainly at night at home as well. [War happens like that sometimes. As do assassinations.]

[Voice]

[amberguardian]

That's true. I stay inside at night, because that's when my magic is weak.

What was your job back home?

[Voice]

[ahappylie]

I patrolled the city to keep it safe and enforce the government's laws against those who wanted to tear it down.

[Which is a nicer way of describing how he was in a war.]

They mostly moved at night, so that was when we worked as well.

[Voice]

[amberguardian]

That's sounds dangerous.

[Voice]

[ahappylie]

...Only on occasion. [For people unfortunate enough to run across him.]

It really wasn't that dangerous though.

[Voice]

[amberguardian]

So, like here? [Since Luceti is only really dangerous sometimes.]

[changethepast]

-- Oh! [ L O L ] It's just a saying; I don't think it's... actually possible.

[ ... As far as she knows. From an outside perspective, given how oddly things like gravity and electricity seem to work in her world..... ]

[yourhatred]

Occasionally.

I'm not too highly trained in the medical arts, however, and there are a good many others who are that work with him instead.

I would hope you haven't had to spend much time at the clinic yourself. At least not as a patient.

[justicereigns]

It wasn't my justice.

My second in command once got extremely frustrated because she said she had no justice to choose from. I told her to get stronger so that she could find a better path. Yet here, there was no justice in it.

And there never could be.

[Voice]

[rather_be_surfing]

Yeah, I'd probably wait until it's at least dry.

[Actually, that's probably all he'll wait for. Now that he has semi-blessing to get up and move around...

Well, it's Derek. And he wants to be moving around.]

Anyone live out that way? Wouldn't want to freak them out if I go wandering across their field when they aren't expecting anyone.

[heavensmostwanted]

Long story.

[ahappylie]

Long story of the "It will take some time to explain all the events that led to it," or long story as in "I don't want to tell you"?

I won't be offended if it's the latter.

[Voice]

[ahappylie]

[...He smiles after a brief pause. No, his home was not like here. He wasn't at risk of dying every day or having to go out and kill, or train boys barely turned men to go out and die. But to her?]

Yes. Something like here.

May I ask you something, Kohaku-chan?

[ahappylie]

Oh, that's unfortunate. I wonder if there is a world where water if flammable. It would terrifying to visit.
