[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.

By the rules of that question, wouldn't your new favorite food you gain from giving up your favorite food also be banned from you too?

[Voice]

[amberguardian]

Hmm...Could I get a different question?

[Yep, she remembers you~]

[Voice]

[rather_be_surfing]

Pretty sure if all I could eat was my favorite food, I'd get sick of it sooner or later. Then that would pretty much invalidate the whole thing.

[justicereigns]

Nothing but my favorite, though I suspect my doctor would throw a fit.

What would you choose?

[yourhatred]

Is that a trained pig?

[He doesn't even bother with the time-filler questions.]

[voice]

[ahappylie]

That is a difficult question. Perhaps it wouldn't become your favorite - simply a food you liked that you were allowed to eat.

[Voice]

[ahappylie]

[Is that--

He'd all but thought he was alone here. When did she return? ...And why hadn't she come to stay again? Unless she forgot that part. He shouldn't mention it just in case.]

Kohaku-chan... Alright. Would you rather eat only honey or only milk?

[Voice]

[ahappylie]

[Wow, today is a day of realizing his friends came back. What. Awesome as it is, he feels a bit bad that he hadn't realized so many had returned]

I think that is the point of the game - to choose the lesser of two evils.

Hello, Derek-san.

[ahappylie]

And what is your favorite food, Smoker-san?

I~ think I might choose to never eat my favorite food again. Even if it made me sad.

[ahappylie]

Hm? Pig? Did Saizou appear in the picture?

Re: [voice]

[heavensmostwanted]

In that case, I'm going to have to go with losing my favorite food. I'd probably get sick of it, and people's favorite food might not be good on the body either.

[ahappylie]

This is a good idea. What is your favorite food?

[heavensmostwanted]

Chicken Katsu. Why?

[ahappylie]

...? What is chicken katsu?

[heavensmostwanted]

Think of it as a Japanese version of fried chicken.

[ahappylie]

...

[This. Does not tell him much.]

Why would one fry chicken?

[Voice]

[faithfulflame]

Oh? Shinsengumi-san and Chizuru-san left?

[She sounds a little sad, but not overly upset.]

That would make you...Okita Souji-san, yes?

[Voice]

[rather_be_surfing]

Hey.

[There's a hesitation here, then]

...sorry, man, I was one of the unlucky ones who came aback without a memory of this place. S'all right if I ask your name?

[justicereigns]

Pie. Or maybe rum cake.

Why is that?

[Voice]

[amberguardian]

[He can ask if he wants to. But she's just had a hard time finding him!]

Honey. What would be your answer to your question??

[Voice]

[ahappylie]

[He isn't sure if this is the same Kohaku either, it makes things difficult]

To the first or the second? I think for the second I would choose honey as well. It's much more delicious.

[yourhatred]

Picture? No.

[He doesn't have his Sharingan activated anyway.]

But your journal seemed to be experiencing some... technical difficulties, and I thought I heard its grunting.

[Voice]

[ahappylie]

[Oh. That would explain things. Souji would almost be upset about being forgotten, but living here so long has pretty much dulled him to it.]

...Okita Souji. It is nice to meet you again.

[Voice]

[amberguardian]

[He could always ask.]

To the one you asked. But that's right. Honey tastes a lot better.

[ahappylie]

[He laughs]

Yes, I think the doctor might be angry.

And I would choose the others because~ well, I need more energy than sugar can provide.
