It isn't fair. Why do they always get taken? Why isn't there anything we can do to stop this? I hate this place. ...But I know I can't leave. There isn't anywhere for me to go back to. Living here is cruel and I can't even tell them.
I wish Shinpachi was back already.
[End]
So...who has a pet here? Preferably cute ones.
Can I see them?

Archaeologist? Huh, sounds interestin'. Never heard of someone who does stuff like that.
I used ta' go out with my friends, hit the bars, tease the younger recruits, stuff like that. Sometimes had it out wit' 'em in the dojo and reminded 'em why I'm a captain. Was pretty awesome really. Oh! And I liked going around to the stores, too.
Can't really do that 'round here, but- [He shrugs and rolls the drink around in his hand.] -guess that isn't so bad. Didn't have a lot of down time back home.
So tell me more about these ruins and languages and stuff.

[Ruins and languages and stuff indeed.]
The history of my world is told in runes called poneglyphs-- but most of them are hidden in secret places. A whole century of our history is missing completely from public knowledge.
[And in the discovery of that lies the answer--though she is becoming a little worried about what the question might be.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-04 12:14 pm (UTC)A whole...century? [Heisuke blinks in disbelief.] How's something that big get covered up like that? Kinda hard to just...go missing, isn't it?
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-04 10:48 pm (UTC)[It's a question but not a question. She takes another sip of the drink then idly lets her fingers play around the rim of the glass.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-05 07:02 am (UTC)[Least not where he's from, but since she's posed the question, Heisuke tries to think of a reason. Why would an entire century just disappear? And a history written in pictures? Oh! OH HE'S GOT IT!]
I GOT IT! Maybe someone made a huge blanket!!

Date: 2011-10-06 01:48 am (UTC)Apparently a not so good one since you ain't laughin'.
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-07 05:52 pm (UTC)I've been told I have a strange sense of humor.
[A moment and then:]
What are you captain of?
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-08 03:13 am (UTC)[And that he's stupid and should keep his mouth shut, but he never listens. Instead, he takes a drink and then stops dead when Robin asks about the captain then. He lowers the cup and rolls it in his hands.]
Guess I should say 'used' ta' be... Kinda did a stupid thing and can't go back anymore. People're takin' it pretty okay, but... Um.
[Abrupt topic change!]
Hey! So you can't go 'round doing the runes thing here, right? What kinda things do you do here?
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-08 05:23 am (UTC)Here? [Not a happy smile this time. Can you tell?]
No, I can't. What is there to do? Meet prisoners from different worlds, read histories that have no bearing on my own. It's a static place, don't you think?
[You can't move forward, you can't move back, only if the Malnosso deem it so]
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-08 07:44 am (UTC)Don't always have to go doin' something, do we? Just...being here is kinda nice.
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-08 08:07 am (UTC)I would rather be my own person.
[Then some rat in a cage.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-08 08:14 am (UTC)Who says you can't be here? It ain't like they take that away from ya'. Your freedom, maybe, but even that can't really be taken 'less you decide to give it.
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-08 08:29 am (UTC)[It's almost endearing]
I miss the sea. I thought I would never see it again. And then when I did, I thought I would never leave it and then I came here. What I had was already taken.
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-08 08:38 am (UTC)Oh! Oh!! There's a beach here! And an ocean! And I dunno how big it is, but it's gotta be big, right?
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-08 08:42 am (UTC)[Does no one read the journal thoroughly?]
And, in any case, even if you sailed it, you would have no where to go but right back where you started.
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-08 08:45 am (UTC)Guess so. Can't imagine goin' a lot of places. I didn't travel too much 'cept for work. I guess I can see how you'd get kinda stir-crazy bein' stuck here.
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-08 08:47 am (UTC)[That is one small consolation, she supposes. At least it's not completely boring]
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-08 08:50 am (UTC)[Wow, he just realized how boring that sounds.]
Where'd you suggest going?
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-08 08:51 am (UTC)Into the forest. As deep as you can go. As dark as it can get. And see what happens.
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-08 08:53 am (UTC)...............Isn't that where Moro-sama lives?
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-08 08:54 am (UTC)[That is a name she hasn't heard]
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-08 08:56 am (UTC)And she said she eats people.
Eats people.
[Action]
Date: 2011-10-08 09:00 am (UTC)[Now you really have her attention]
