And then a wild voice test appeared

[zumo]

[Hijikata is not, strictly speaking, a drinking man. Sure, he'll claim it's by choice out loud, but the truth is he has precious little tolerance for alcohol of any sort.

And yet, here he is nearly a week after arrival, driven at last into the loving, unjudgmental arms of Good Spirits. Wonders never cease in Luceti, it would seem.

Closer inspection would reveal, though, that his sake bottle is rather...full. And that at the moment, the man who ordered it is mostly just. Staring at it. It is, in fact, entirely possible that he only ordered it because it's one of the only things in this whole goddamn place that reminds him of home.

Presently, he'll gaze out the window, sake still untouched. What could he be thinking about? Care to ask him?]

raaaaagh!

[...The casualness is only a little weird, and makes it seem like this sudden new look is nothing surprising, or something. But! His response also more or less confirms that this man is indeed Hijikata. Well then.

After regaining his composure, Harada smiles.]

So you're here too, huh?

[He'll get around to asking about the seemingly spontaneous haircut and whatnot soon enough. Who knows? Hijikata may have suddenly decided to do it here in Luceti! For all Harada knows, he may have been here for a long time now. People have said that there's... something about time stopping back at home, so people there aren't aware of someone leaving. It could have just been that. Of course, the thought of how people can come from different times altogether doesn't cross his mind just yet.]

Unfortunately. [That scowl is back on his face. Damn the Malnosso! Damn everything.]

This place seems to like the Shinsengumi.

It pisses me off.

[Aaaand that earns the first drink of sake of the night.]

[hoka]

Seems that way. And for once, it's not a good thing, either.

[And look at who's drinking now..! Harada gives Hijikata a contemplative look as he does so. This is all pretty weird, and he's not sure whether or not he's glad to have Hijikata--someone from home--here too.

...Gonna go with no. He doubts he would even be totally happy if Shinpachi were here, really.

Yeah. He'll go ahead and take a drink of his own.]
