[18. fourth wall? what's that? / voice]

[dudewheresmypig]

Well, that was interesting yesterday! With so many people finding things to confess.... I wonder, though, what was true and what was false?

And since there's no way to really be sure, it's probably best to just ignore everything we heard.

I certainly don't have anything to say about my confession that I haven't said already

Such childishness masking a bloodthirsty nature.

[dudewheresmypig]

And I didn't even see you around yesterday!

Will you give me your name?

[wolf_disguised]

I was not here yesterday, and I will find my way out by today. Distortions in memory may be the result of drugs, but I have yet to do my investigation. Whatever the cause is, it will not hold for long.

Fujita Goro. Meiji imperial police. And you?

[dudewheresmypig]

I certainly wish you luck with that. Some of us seem a little... stuck, here. ♥

Okita Souji.

You would give your name so freely to me, Okita?

[dudewheresmypig]

Unfortunately, this place forced me into a day of painful honesty, and enough people know my name now that keeping it hidden has become a little silly.

Meiji... hm, you're around Kenshin-san's time then, aren't you?

[wolf_disguised]

I am not part of enough people.

You've encountered Battousai again? Ah, but I'm certain that you would.

It has been years.

[dudewheresmypig]

But what good would it do to give you a false name when five minutes of asking on the network would get you my real identity?

We've had a spat or two. He's quite an interesting man ♥

Do you know... you seem very familiar to me, but I don't think I recognize your face.

[wolf_disguised]

You've become less careful, Okita. However, only those who could afford to be careless can do so.

[A drag from his cigarette before he flicks it away.]

Battousai has never bested us in a duel. I doubt that he ever will.

[Amber eyes alight upon him.]

We were comrades under the same banner once.

[dudewheresmypig]

Perhaps just lazy ♥ The long explanations were annoying.

[frowning as he stares at Saitou]

You're not... Saitou-san?

[dudewheresmypig]

When did you cut your hair and start smoking?

And you've never been lazy.

[A smirk.]

It has been a while, Okita.

[You're alive. How is it possible?]

Ten years do much to a man.

[However, the smirk fades, and he regards Okita seriously.]

How is your tuberculosis?

[dudewheresmypig]

[waving a hand theatrically in front of his nose]

Well, your cigarettes stink. I don't think that was a good change....

They have medicine for it here - one of the doctors told me it can be cured. It does seem better!

Ten years, and you know Kenshin-san. May I ask if we - if the Shinsengumi met him before the assault on the Ikedaya?
