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...

action
N-N-N-Nothing! Damn! Where'd you come from?!
action
I came in through the door. [--he says wryly. And then with a sigh:]
Toudou-kun, I know you well enough to know that every time you say you're doing "nothing", something's up...
action
Just tryin' to learn more about this place. Ain't really got a choice about it, so might as well, right?
action
So what's this about "ghosty spirity things"? I didn't know you were interested in emulating Saitou-kun.
action
[Heisuke laughs a bit and settles back on his hands, staring up at the ceiling.]
I dunno. Just got nothing else to do. Someone's gotta be the weirdo.
action
Uh...which one of these were you planning on contacting?
action
There's a lot. Figured I could try 'em all and see which one gives me Hajime's power to be super-creepster.
action
Sannan winces.]
Maybe you should try a less volatile one first, Toudou-kun.
action
[Uhhhhh, but let's pretend he isn't going for the healing one because that's a can of worms.]
Figure I'd go for one that can't burn me. Like the earth or water one or something.
action
--or this healing one. That seems useful.
[...and the least likely to end in serious injury.
He squints at the last line in the section on spirits.]
..."drafted for war"?
action
Oh. Yeah, guess that'd be good too.
[HNNNNNGH. Heisuke gets up and plucks the book out of Yamanami's hands.]
You don't gotta worry about that.
action
He sighs.]
Right...although, it wouldn't be anything new. [--except he would be next to useless and probably dead in a matter of days.]
action
......They wouldn't take you. It wouldn't be right.
action
jinxed it, HeisukeSannan starts (He normally wouldn't, but right now, he's more on edge than usual.), staring...but then his eyes drift to the side.]Toudou-kun.
You don't need to worry so much about me.
action
That's because Heisuke is a jinx.]Don't... don't need to worry? I got you and Hijikata-san yelling it out like that right in front of the house...! How am I not supposed to worry about you?!
action
I didn't say that you couldn't worry about me, just not so much. And this isn't about Hijikata-kun anyway.
If I have to fight, I'll...do it.
action
Isn't about-- How--
No! You don't have to fight! You don't have to do anything but...
[And his anger just...deflates. He lowers the book and it dangles loosely from his fingers.]
...Just live here. Just stay with us. That's all that matters. If they try to make you fight, I'll go for you.
action
What he wants to say is that he's not that weak.]
action
He grabs the book again and throws it down.]
I already did!
[He stops and just stares at the book where it's lying, closed.]
...it doesn't matter. I already did.
action
He really is a dead man walking, isn't he?
Both of them.]
...Wh--what?
action
...Nothing. Just forget I said anything.
[He leans down to grab his journal and starts for the door.]
action
[Even though he doesn't move, there's enough bite in his voice to show that he isn't willing to let things end this way.]
I can't forget something like that.
action
.......
What. You going to order me like Shinpatsuan did?
action
Do I need to?
action
...but even he isn't that cruel.]
Maybe. Isn't like it's something I want to talk about.
