WHO: Hijikata Toshizou. Possibly also you.
WHAT: Looking for something very important.
WHERE: All around the main camp.
WARNING(S): Shitty haiku, if he ever finds it.



[Today in your main camp, there is a samurai.

On a mission.

No matter where you've chosen to hang out today, you've probably seen him at some point. Rummaging around in whatever boxes or stacks of supplies are out, checking the ground, talking to people just out of your earshot...it seems like he's looking for something.

And judging by the way he occasionally mutters something grumpy and possibly profane under his breath, he doesn't seem to be finding it.

What do?]

[unobtrusively]

[ Souji turns at the voice, taking in the new arrival before glancing back to Hijikata.]

...I assume this one comes from the same place you did? [ The question is directed at Hijikata, although he at least offered a slight bow to the newcomer.]

[sadistsword]

[Souji bows as well and winks at the other man.]

Yes. I have known him for the longest time, unfortunately.

[hakodate]

[He nods in response to the question, and...

...well, potentially awkward as it is, probably easiest to just get it over with.]

Okita Souji...Okita Souji.

[Introducing people to themselves is weird as hell, man.]

[unobtrusively]

[ He turned to appraise the other again, taking in the marked physical differences before he spoke. ]

I will admit, I was not expecting to meet you quite so soon.

[ Especially since you look NOTHING like me. ]

[sadistsword]

I haven't expected to meet you at all.

[Souji could do the same, but the situation is still too hilarious to him to think over it too seriously. Granted, if this Souji was only somewhat the same as him, than he had to keep a watchful eye on him.]

[hakodate]

[Well, not that Souji - his Souji - is the type to show much surprise at anything, but it does make him wonder -]

Souji. You heard of this happening with anyone else?

[He hadn't, yet, but there were a lot of people around here. It wouldn't be hard to miss something. And while he wasn't really going to bother pondering the deeper implications of this place being distorted not just in terms of time, but also reality - that seemed like a quick enough ticket to making one's head explode...

...well, he had to wonder if there were more of them running around.]
