( fellow moonblessed~! have a pair of dark hazel eyes looking at you through the screen, a pointy nose against it because he knows no better than having the right distance from the feed's view. he's just trying to find the perfect angle. )

I know I've met some people during the festival, which I must thank them for their kindness when I first arrived. ( an almost, visible attempt of a bow. coughing a little and clearing his throat in a cute manner. ) My name is Souji Okita, from Edo, Japan, Earth as I know. First Captain of the Shinsengumi and Assistant Captain to Commander Isami Kondō-sensei and Vice-Commander Toshizo Hijikata-san.

I've been told there's another Okita here. No, I don't have a brother or a twin. No, I don't owe you money, I never kicked your dog and I certainly never soiled your gardens. ( in before anyone could come up to him with yelling and insults, hoping this place isn't like kyoto. are these things what sadists do? he doesn't even know. and 'psycho killer' would fit in here. ). I haven't met him, so... Okita-mimic-kun, you better make a public apology for any kind of offense towards the people you might have irritated. Do not make a disgrace of my family name, please! ( because... shinsengumi's motto is 'truth' so truth goes with justice, mister. hah! however, given the poor view of his face, take his seriousness with a grain of salt. )

Leaving that aside, I'd like some help about technology and contemporality, as I come from a time where none of what Lunatia has exists, and gaijin knowledge is only available to the scholars and nobility.

Of course, as it seems like I'm staying for an unknown period of time, I offer you my services for a fair wage. I'll gladly help you with any Chroma you want in return for these favors! I'm indebted to your kindness once again!

[tigerpoet]

The Souji Okita? It's an honor to meet you!

[Atsushi is a nerd, so of course he recognizes the name and is practically sparkling over it. Sure, his area of focus might be more Chinese history, but he knows the Shinsengumi as well as any Japanese writer does.]

I also came from an earlier time - not as far back as yours - so I would be happy to help you get adjusted like I had to. No payment necessary.

because life and the universe are against us all?

[embracethewind]

( blushing a little. ) Seems like my reputation precedes me even here. ( also pouting with puppy eyes. ) But I am! Even if no one believes me!

Oh? Are you sure? Maybe I can repay you with anything else than Chroma, then.

smh oryou even knows okita

[tigerpoet]

If you insist on repayment, then stories of your time in the Shinsengumi would be more than enough.

[He can't turn down this opportunity.]

[machiavel]

Ahaha, I may be familiar with the “Okita-mimic” you’re yelling at. I’ll be sure to pass on the message if he doesn’t respond to you first.

[ seimei is also japanese and knows who souji okita is supposed to be, but he’s learned to take all these appearances of historical folks with a heavy pinch of salt. ]

[embracethewind]

You are? But I'm not yelling at him, only making things clear to spare any confusion.

( good! because he doesn't want anyone else to think he's the one to blame. )

[machiavel]

[ oh, seimei doesn’t do well with this kind of person… or more accurately, this kind of person probably doesn’t do well with seimei. polite as always, though, seimei smiles. ]

Ah, you’re right. I forget that the other Okita takes some measure of pride in doing all those nasty things. It’s more like you’re publicly praising him…

Wow, you're something a living artifact, aren't you? This place really finds all types.

[Joshua grinned at the camera, seemingly sitting some place high up if the view of the sky and tops of surrounding buildings was any indication.]

I'm from 'modern day' Tokyo - though I suppose that's really a relative term, isn't it? Your name has cropped up in more than a few history textbooks, you know. You look a bit different than I would have thought.

[embracethewind]

Am I? Did I sound too enthusiastic? ( it's more about good manners than anything. be careful of not falling, mister. )

I've been told my birth city's name was changed. ( his face is one of disbelief, about the concept of his name through history. his sensei was supposed to become the most known instead of him. )

Is that so? It's easy for people to attach infamy to a face they've never met.

[pullofatrigger]

The city itself has changed quite a bit since you were born, too. The ward I'm from didn't even exist during your time - it was only a few scattered villages. Now it looks more like this city, Lunatia.

And I never said anything about infamy. Most people of Japan adore you, from what I've gathered.

[casaposa]

That man doesn't have a noble bone in his body. I doubt he'll listen to your plea.

[Listen, he lives with the other Souji Okita and that bold request for a public apology makes him snort. He'll give this guy all his chroma if that makes darkest timeline Okita see the error of his ways.]

It's an odd coincidence to have two of you here. This world has a bizarre sense of humor.

[embracethewind]

That's what I thought. ( a heavy sigh. thanks for the heads-up hijikata. give him a little credit for trying at least. )

Odd, indeed. I still can't get a hold of it yet. I apologize in his behalf if he has done anything to offend you, sir.

[casaposa]

Don't apologize for other people. Sharing a name isn't a crime. The responsibility lies with him and him alone.

[Though he is pleasantly surprised this guy was willing to apologize on that demon's behalf. Maybe there's hope for the Okita lineage yet.]

I suggest you try to avoid him as much as possible, unless you want a permanent headache.

[SAYS THE MAN LIVING WITH HIM OUT OF SPITE. Do as he says, not as he does okay.]

video; sn: healerprincess

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Oh! Uh, I'm probably gonna have to apologize, as your um... 'mimic' works at my store. I'm keeping an eye on him though (during work hours) to make sure he doesn't cause too much trouble!

Nice to meet you though! I'm Konoe Konoka! [ Been a while since she introduced herself last name first. ] Nice to meet you!

If you'd like, I can answer any questions you might have about Lunatia itself. I'm from 'modern' Kyoto myself, but the technology here is still more different than what I have at home!

[embracethewind]

( a polite bow. ) I apologize for the inconvenience, Konoka-san. ( pffft souji! he's not your little brother. then a smile. ) A pleasure!

Oh? Modern Kyoto? ( come to think of it, she has that characteristic kyoto accent, not as prominent as back where he comes from. ) Thank you. I've found myself in struggle about what do natives need from us here.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Ah!

[ Now that she's talking to him, she can pick up some of that accent from him too. ]

Well, it's kind of a long story, but apparently when we, the people who get thawed from those crystals, touch each other willingly, we're doing something called 'moonlacing'. Just holding hands or a good hug will do!

Apparently, this 'moonlacing' restores energy to the planet, in a way that the natives cannot do. It's enabled them to bring life back to this planet, thanks to a Calamity that slammed down on it several hundreds of years ago.

[While Rangiku does have different technology where she comes from, she has been here for some time, and she does know the 'proper' distance, and even the right angle... Which is why it is more or less a full frontal, from her head down to the swell of her cleavage.]

Mm. It's not that hard to use~ Just be careful doing any hanky panky, as you might not be as private as you think.

[Not that she's seen it happen, but it's Rangiku, and she likes to play around.]

[embracethewind]

( w-wait — is that... her bosom!? a-ah. cheeks are tainting in red. )

H-Hanky panky!?

[titillation]

Hmm.

[Leave Rangiku to her own devices with no reports to complete, and she finds various ways to amuse herself. Flicking one finger up at a time, thumb last-]

Relations, getting laid, hooking up, getting lucky, hitting a home run?

[saigawa]

[Old, familiar feelings are flowing in him again. Not as strongly as before, but he's not completely moved on yet. The only thing keeping him from leaving this is the fact that he knows this Okita wasn't his.

... And he's nicer than the other guy using the Okita name, too.]

Well, I can help you with most of the technology.

[Social media is the worst best thing for Kashuu to discover.]

You don't really need to repay me.

[Normally, he'd be happy to accept payment. But this is Okita-kun, it's kind of weird for him!]

[embracethewind]

( ah. that username is quite fitting! it is still quite a shock finding out how one of your beloved swords looks like in human form, wondering if yamatonokami and okiku would look as cute as kiyomitsu.

cute and kind to his not!master )

I'd love for you to help me this time. You'll be my teacher now!

Maybe not with Chroma but how about something else?

[saigawa]

Ooh, teacher. That kind of sound nice to me.

[It's something he haven't thought of. Can he be a teacher? Maybe it'll work if it's just one on one. He knows how strange technology was at the beginning, too.

... Hearing Okita called him "teacher" sure feels a little weird? How weird? Hmm.]

Something else like what? I can take almost anything.

[He could make demands, but that's also strange to do for him? So Kashuu lets Souji Okita decides, and it'll probably be something he would accept.]

[firstsaderesponder]

[Oh. This is a peculiar message on the network. Looks like Sougo's troublemaker reputation precedes him. Nice. He's used to being thought of as a bloodthirsty killer instead of soiling gardens, though.

He replies with text for now, as it's much harder to pick up on his sarcasm that way.]

eh, really? someone's pretending to be you? who would do such a thing?

text; un: black.flounder

[embracethewind]

( the username is pretty suspicious, taking into account what hijikata-mimic told him about sougo's said reputation as a devil. let's see how much of himself is in this man.

oh! by the way... the replies won't come as immediately as he's trying to figure out how to text properly. )

someone who enjoys making people upset, not funny 😐😒

[immature]

[shinsengumi, huh? Osomatsu definitely knows that name, but... well, it's fine. he is not going to point out a history lesson, here. mostly because he's bad at history... and any school subject, really]

Hi there! I'd be happy to help you out sometime! I know it's a lot to take in all at once! But I'd like to think I'm getting better at understanding this technology, since I've been here for a while!

[embracethewind]

( souji isn't as proficient in history either so no worries for that! osomatsu at least knows who he is. what a friendly face! )

Have you? Is there any technology like in Lunatia where you come from?
