2nd Joke [Voice]

[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...

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

....[Sigh. This is going to take him forever, isn't it.]

Alright. Well, thanks for the tips, huh? What's your name?

[Yes. Yes, it will. Rokuta wishes you luck, man, 'cause it sounds like you'll need it.]

Oh... I'm Rokuta. Did you just arrive in the last group?

Rokuta, huh? Nice ta meet you. 'm Heisuke. Toudou Heisuke. And yup yup, new arrival, all spic and span and shiny new.

Huh, well. Welcome to Luceti, I guess. If there's something you need, let me know.

Well, as long as it's something I can actually help with.

Thanks. I'd say "I guess" but this is better than where I was.

Might be buggin' you again to figure out some stuff. Hope you don't mind!

Wouldn't've offered if I minded that much.

[Though, with a name like that...]

Are you from, er, Japan, maybe?

Heh, yeah yeah, thanks.

And uh...yeah? Why?

Just... well, there's people here from all over. Lots of strange places. Thought your name sounded like it was from there, so.

Oh. Why didn't ya say so?

You from there, too? I mean, Rokuta and all. Sounds like a name from home.

I was born there, yeah... I go back and visit sometimes, to see how things are now.

Oh, went overseas, huh? Not many people who do that in my time.

You could say that, I guess.

You... have been told about the differences in time and stuff, right?

....You could say that.

[As in, he found out the hard way.]

Oh. That good, huh?

[Yeah, that might be a little sympathy. Not too much, though. Wouldn't do to make the guy think he actually cared.]

So, uh, when're you from?

Yup. Like a punch in the head or sand in the eye.

Uh...hold on.

[Filter | 10%]

Uh...I don't know if that worked, but I hope it did. Anyway, Keio 3. Heard you guys had a different calendar overseas so... Um... 1867? You?

Yeah, but... here, let's try this.

[Rokuta isn't the best at the filters, given that he doesn't have much reason to use them, but he'll at least bump that up a little.]

[Filter | 50%]

Not something you want public?

Last time I was over there, it was, er. Heisei... 10? Or maybe 11. 1999, I think.

Damn. That's... Wow. Man, that's far in the future. I can't even imagine what Japan's like then.

[But hnngh.]

...And thanks. For the whatever this is called. Lotta friends aren't... caught up with me yet. Don't wanna spoil 'em for how the story ends.

Yeah, it's really changed. A lot. In some ways not for the better, either.

[As interesting as the modern world can be, it smells kind of bad. And it's too loud.]

So I'm guessing those're the people who taught you about the time stuff?

Heh, ain't that always the way of things.

[......Ouch. Nail, right on the head.]

...He's not supposed ta' be alive anymore, but he is. They don't remember... Just lots of stuff.

[Right, but depressing this kid probably isn't a great impression to make.]

BUT! Uh, don't really matter anyway.

Anyway, you talk like an old man for such a tiny kid. You're like what... 12? 13?

[...yeah, ouch indeed. That wasn't his intention, so Rokuta's glad for the change of subject even if he doesn't believe it really doesn't matter.

1867. Keio. What was going on then? It kind of tends to blur, but he seems to recall avoiding crossing over around then. A lot of fighting, probably.]

Huh, good guess. But I'm a bit older than I look.

[And not tiny, either.]

Well, least you're not as small as Puppy-kun. Poor kid looks like he's nine when he's really 15!

[HAHAHAHA! Although, he had been growing when last Heisuke saw him. ...it seems so long ago. Over a year. How much had the puppy changed in all that time?]

So what, you're like... 16? 18?

...you have a friend named after a dog?

A bit more than that. Doesn't matter, though, I don't age.

Haha! Nah, it's just his nickname 'cause he's like a pup--

.......

You... don't... what?
