2nd Joke [Voice]

[cuteobsessed]

[Heisuke's reading something and he can be heard mumbling in the background.]

...all a matter of listening properly...meditation....takes a lot of time....

...Time. A lot of time.

[He lets out a loud and somewhat frustrated sigh then turns to the journal.]

Okay, look, there's gotta be an easier way to contact these ghosty spirity things than goin' out into the great wilderness where a giant wolf might eat my face. Right?

Any ideas?

Ugh, where's Hajime when you need that creeper...

[entaiho]

Depends on which one you're trying to contact. But it's still going to take time.

[voice]

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

Like how much time? We talkin' hours or like... "Better pack up your stuff, you're moving into a dojo and ain't ever going home" time?

Oh and that...whatever. Healing one. Na-chan.

[voice]

[entaiho]

You might want to know her name before you try to call her.

As far as I know she can be reached anywhere, though... and it's not like it takes forever or anything.

[voice]

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

Huh? Na-chan's a totally cute name.

So...you done this before? I don't usually go 'round callin' up spirits. Not my spiel, yanno? Means I don't have a clue on how ta' do this.

[voice]

[entaiho]

...it isn't her name, though.

I have a little experience with the spirits here, yeah. You have the guide, don't you?

[voice]

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

It's a cute nickname though. Na-chan. I like it.

And yup, I got the guide. Read through it, but it was kinda vague, yanno?

[voice]

[entaiho]

The thing you have to worry about is whether or not she likes it.

The part about it taking time and effort isn't very vague, though.

[voice]

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

It's a cute name! Who wouldn't like such a cute na--

............... [He sees what you did there, stranger.]

Well, yeah, that's why I'm askin' if there's another way.

[voice]

[entaiho]

Yeah, I don't think there is one.

[voice]

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh this sucks.

[This is followed by a heavy thump as his head hits the desk.]

[voice]

[entaiho]

Sometimes you have to want to work to get stuff.

[voice]

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

Look, I know. I just--

...

How the hell do you set filters on this dumb thing...]

[Following is a series of failures and random noises as Heisuke tries to figure the journal out.]

Why isn't it working....]

OH WHATEVER.

Look, I just don't wanna be too late, okay? Working on a tight schedule here.

[voice]

[entaiho]

Huh? What kind of schedule? If someone needs to be healed there are plenty of people in the village who already can work with Nala.

[voice]

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

[He just falls silent and can be heard fidgeting with something or another for a long while.]

[voice]

[entaiho]

Seriously, if someone's hurt, there are better ways to deal with it than waiting until you can figure out the spirits.

[voice]

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

He isn't hurt! He--

They.

This person.

.... [HNNNNGH. This is getting too personal.]

Look, I just wanna figure it out, okay? And without getting eaten by Moro-sama.

[voice]

[entaiho]

Moro isn't that bad.

[She likes him. So hah.]

I haven't heard that you need to go anywhere special to talk to Nala. You could probably do it in your bedroom, if you really wanted to.

[voice]

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

She kinda hates people though, you notice?

[Which is sad because she's a giant wolf and that is so badass.]

...really? So I just like...call her name or something?

[voice]

[entaiho]

Sometimes. She's never threatened me, though.

Uh. Kind of. They don't really... talk, though. It's more about learning to listen for them.

[voice]

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

Maybe she likes your voice then. [HAHAHAH sob]

Uh.... So...

[What.]

...

What? If they don't talk, how're you supposed to know if they're there? Or what to listen for?

[voice]

[all7seas]

That wolf....that wolf nearly ate my leg. Fact.

[Voice]

[consultmybooks]

As far as I know, Moro has yet to eat anyone's face.

And some of the spirits can be contacted within the borders of the village itself.

[Sannan is feeling thoroughly exhausted -- who wouldn't after that sort of conversation? But he still stops by Heisuke's room as he passes by, curiosity piqued by the mention of "ghosty spirity things", and pads in, readjusting his glasses.]

Oh--Toudou-kun, what are you trying to do?

[voice]

[entaiho]

It depends on the spirit. That's part of why it takes so long, though, 'cause you have to figure it out.

[beholdmyscar.livejournal.com]

Meditation. Just...gimme a minute.

Picturing you.

Meditating.

[LAUGHTER IN HERE.]
