[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.]

[ action ]
[Or has it just been arrivals, as far as they're concerned?
[ action ]
[ Hm, and now that he thinks about it, when would be a good idea to bring up his other self and when he died? ]
[ action ]
[ action ]
Okita Souji died about, mm... two months ago. And Hijikata Toshizo vanished about a month ago.
Oh, and Toshizo showed up four months ago, but he has no sign of leaving yet.
[ action ]
...what? That...that makes no sense! Why are you talking about yourself like that?!
[ action ]
[ action ]
[ action ]
[ action ]
I...I don't understand! Is there another Okita-san somewhere?!
[ action ]
Yep. We live with him.
[ action ]
How does that not get confusing?!
[And how have you not killed each other? And how has Heisuke maintained his sanity? SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!]
[ action ]
It's not. For us, at least.
[ He can't speak for Heisuke though. AHAHHA ]
[ action ]
[Please say it ain't so. Say it ain't so! Are they both going to be trolling
Hijikataher?!][ action ]
[ Oh Chizuru. They're going to be trolling everybody
but especially hijikata. And if you thought one Souji was a handful... ][ action ]
...now we just need two Saitou-san's...
[ action ]
And two Heisuke-kun's, but I think one's enough of him.
[ action ]
That would imply that Heisuke-kun's been doing a fine job of keeping you out of trouble. But I somehow doubt that's the case. [Besides, if Heisuke was without Harada and Nagakura, chances are that Okita was enabling him into his usual shenanigans, right?
Poor Heisuke-kun, so gullible and ready.
Not that she's one to talk.][ action ]
What's that supposed to mean? [ he definitely doesn't need a babysitter!
Though them having completely opposite sleep schedules does definitely play into how much of a lack of shenanigans there are. ...Though there was that one time when they were a cat and a dog... ]
[ action ]
It means exactly what you think it means, Okita-san! [She seems to have lost sight of the fact that she's sticking out like a sore thumb in that tiny white dress, but maybe it's for the better. If Okita and the others were here...they'd find a way to manage, right?]
