[Chizuru had fallen asleep to the sound of waves. She had gotten used to the unsteady rocking that the boat subjected them too for the past several days. It wasn't a long journey, from Osaka to Edo, but it was just long enough to get used to the bouyancy of the water before having to subject yourself to re-acquainting yourself with the durability of hardened soil.

When she'd stepped off the boat, she was light-headed, and her eyes were barely capable of staying open. From all the crying, seeing Yamazaki off to his watery grave, her eyes had nearly swollen shut, and she still had yet to sleep a wink since they said their final farewells. Perhaps she had fainted, and that is why she found herself curled up in a ball on a soft patch of grass. She woke with a start, gasping when she'd realized what (she thought) had happened.]

Oh, no! I'm so sorry! I must've just-- [Chizuru rolled onto her hands and knees frantically, spurting out awkward apologies to pretty much anyone within a listening distace, when she realized that...wait. Since when did the arbor have such lush greenery? Edo wasn't nearly as developed as, say, Osaka, but...the ports at the very least would have...

..but wait. Chizuru froze, holding her breath as she listened. There was no sound of the waves breaking against the rocky shores, or the flapping of canvas as the masts yearned for the wind to catch them. Instead, there was only the soft hum of insects and the occassional chirp of a bird, the gentle rusting of feathers.

Feathers...really close. Chizuru sat back and sighed.] ...did I wander off somewhere? [She looked up at the sky, wincing but also in awe at the brightness of the sun.] ...wasn't it Winter...? For it to be so hot...

[There was that rusting sound again. So close, was it the sound of silk robes brushing against itself?!] Who's there?! [Chizuru cried out in a more panicked voice than she would've liked...but it was then that she realized that...] Oh, no...

[She was alone. Alone and lost, yet again.]

FIRST 1/something

[nikori]

[So you know what Heisuke does during the day?

He sleeps like any other rasetsu does should do.

Which is why he's incapable of running into Chizuru coincidentally outside, or even flipping through his journal and suddenly finding her accidental video entry in there. He did, however, totally leave his journal laying around on his bed before falling asleep, and some moments after Chizuru's broadcast, he turns over, accidentally knocking the pseudo-book-thing open and onto the floor.

Whoops.]

2/4 or 5?

[nikori]

[It takes him a moment to hear it, but once he hears Chizuru's broadcast, he groggily replies, still preeeetty much asleep.]

Oi, oi! Chizuru... What're you... gettin' yourself into... [zzzzzzz sleep is a thing.]

3/actually this'll be quite a bit LMFAO

[nikori]

[oh

oh wait

chizuru...]

i'll say when i'm done okay

[nikori]

[chizuru...

chizuru...]

[nikori]

[. . .]

C-Ch... Chizuru?!

6/7!!!

[nikori]

[shit WHY IS HE STILL IN BED

SCREW YOU, SUN. CHIZURU'S HERE NOW APPARENTLY?!]

Chizuru! I'll be right over there, just hold on and wait there!

7/7! done ahahah

[nikori]

[LEAPING out of this damned bed

SPRINTING out his bedroom and out the apartment

ZOOMING through the village and to wherever the heck Chizuru is.]

CHIZURUUUUUUU!

[oh and he's yelling really loudly whilst doing this nbd yup]

[cannotcrossdress]

Eh?!?!? [Like a startled puppy, Chizuru falls on her back at the distant, (tiny?) muffled voice all too familiar. She winces, a strange pain shooting through her shoulder blades.

Pushing herself up, she looks around again and rolls her shoulders, craning her neck as she tries to work out the cramp that welled where the pain had settled.]

Heisuke-kun?! Where are you?

[And in the daylight?! But hadn't...]

[nikori]

[Yeah he shouldn't be in the sun right now but Chizuru is way more important, okay! So yeah, running, running, screaming, screaming, using more of his rasetsu powers than he should be but w/e w/e CHIZURUUUUUUUUU...!

He totally just went the wrong way and went right past Chizuru's general area, by the way. BUT IT'S COOL because he'll swing around and come back again, in the same manner ahahaha.

Better speak up again, Chizuru...! And probably a bit louder, too...]

[cannotcrossdress]

[Chizuru's head snapped to attention. His voice...it was getting closer! But he couldn't be..! How could he be out in the sunlight?!]

Heisuke-kun? [A little more panicked now.] HEISUKE-KUN! WHERE ARE YOU?!

[She lifts herself up to her feet, looking around. It was late Autumn last she remembered...what happened to make it so hot? So bright?] S'so hot... [She shades her eyes, looking around for the source of the familiar voice.]

voice;

[divinacommedia]

Oho~! It seems like yet another maiden has come to Luceti! Ihihi... man oh man.

voice;

[cannotcrossdress]

Who's there?! [She takes a defensive stance, but don't let that' kodachi fool you; she's pretty harmless.]

Show yourself!

voice;

[divinacommedia]

[...Whoa she's feisty even!]

Calm down calm down! I'm talking to you through that journal of yours.

voice;

[cannotcrossdress]

Journal?

[Chizuru's hands fall from the hilt of her kodachi, and she looks around a bit towards the direction of the sound.]

Oh! [There it is! It must've fallen aside somehow. Picking it up and dusting off the pages, she blinks at it a few times.] A talking journal?

[How peculiar.]

voice;

[divinacommedia]

Exactly, there you go! And it's not the journal that's talking you know, no no it's me~!

Are you okay, fair maiden? [he won't ever stop being such a weirdo.]

[Action]

[cannoneer]

[Well, he didn't expect to find this girl just lying on the ground after exploring some more. So he's standing over her, blocking the sun now.]

Relax. I'm here to help. The name's Cyborg.

[Action]

[cannotcrossdress]

[Chizuru let out a startled yelp - not only was this strange looking man huge but--!

What was he--was he even human?!

Digging her heels into the hearth, she kicked back and let out a terrified scream.]

[Action]

[cannoneer]

[If her foot managed to hit anything on him, it was going to hurt her more than it hurt him, given 80% of him was made of metal or covered in it. Still. He crouched down to try and look non threatening.]

Whoa, whoa! Relax. I'm not a bad guy. I'm not going to hurt you.

[Action]

[cannotcrossdress]

[Oooh don't worry pal, Chizuru's keeping her safe distance (operative word being 'safe'). She looks up at him with the typical horror you'd expect a sheltered Japanese girl from the mid-19th century who has yet to even seen as much as a locomotive.]

Wh-wh-what are you?!

[She's not usually this rude Cyborg. Please forgive her. ;A;]

[Action]

[cannoneer]

I'm human.

[There's a hint of exasperation in his voice. He'd been lucky with Sarasim, also from the past, not seeing anything wrong with him. But this kind of reaction was normal even in a technology filled world.]

I just happened to have some of my parts replaced.

[ action ]

[gohon]

[ The forests that surround the town are not outside of places Souji likes to patrol wander during the day. He's heard of the mountains; he's sure that he'll eventually make it out there one day. Luceti is just that boring to him.

He does do a bit of a double take when he hears some yelling. That sounds rather familiar, doesn't it? So he makes his way in that direction, and...

...Of course.

He'll wait til you're done yelling, Chizuru. ]

Talking to yourself again, Chizuru-chan?

[ action ]

[cannotcrossdress]

[She spins on her heel, her curious gaze warming to a bright, sunny smile.] Okita-san!

[She hurries up to him, clasping her hands together in hope.] Is Heisuke-kun with you? I heard him just a while ago...

[Maybe they'd come together. Maybe they knew something about this strange place.]

Are you well? You shouldn't be walking around on your own like this, you know!

[ action ]

[gohon]

[ Oh wow, was her screaming that loud that a sleeping Heisuke heard her? wow wow wow chizuru 10 points to you

But he frowns at that last statement. ] No, I'm fine. [ i know i just told you i was sick but gosh ] And Heisuke-kun? No. He should be sleeping now.

[ He gazes upwards for a moment to the sun. hmm. ]

[ action ]

[cannotcrossdress]

[She wasn't screaming! Heisuke just has some...some sixth sense to these sorts of things!]

Shouldn't both of you be sleeping?

[Since she quite obviously things you're kinda in the same boat, you know.]

Really, coming out all this way...thank you. [But.] I would have been able to find my way! [Eventually.]

[ action ]

[gohon]

[ His gaze snaps back down to her at the first question. Him? Sleeping?? Now??? Never. He opens his mouth to answer but she continued to talk.

Hm. No matter. He hates this timeline stuff. ]

You would have? [ Eyebrow raise, and a little grin. ]
