[judging from the structure in the back, Takasugi is near the ballpit, a bloody sword gripped in both hands. no kimono, but a black jacket and tight black pants]

[if this were a more comedic era, he'd be slipping on them, but as it stands...]
[just sort of looks at her. 8|]

You seem a little lost, Shinsuke-san~
Reply
[as he finds the Guide on the ground with its transmission, he keeps an eye on foreign aliens while not exactly looking into it]
Who are you? And don't use my first name.

Nobody important.
You don't like it, Shinsuke-san~? Well, I guess I can use Takasugi, then~

-- You're an Amanto, aren't you? Stop cowering behind a transmission device.

But it appears that certain people have.

Is this your ship? Put me back down in Edo!

It is no one's ship but the captains'. And even they are not worth such a messy effort.

[she's been observing the chaos over the network; trying to tackle legalese pertaining to the departure of her organization's benefactor. for the most part, she's refrained from providing commentary. something about this particular drive effect didn't sit well with her and she almost has herself believing that ignoring it meant not being struck down]

[it's riddled with annoyance and backed by a deep scowl]
Why do you all insist on using my first name? Only two people still living ever address me so.

I thought that was your last name. You said it second when you introduced yourself.
[She thought the Babelfish would have clarified such an instance. As far as she knew, it fixed naming orders with respect to the cultural preference of the bearer. To her knowledge, she had yet to commit such a faux pas. Had she really been addressing him incorrectly for the past five months?]

[it's foolish of him, without reference or planning (the Takasugi of the beginning of the war was different than the end, wasn't he?)]
[but he's heard that tone before, and he responds in kind; clipped but intently sincere (most importantly, familiar)]
[his voice hasn't changed since those days, not much since it's first (comedic) dip]
Shinsuke, location and status report.

[it's a rare slip, but it's warm; surrounded by foes and in unknown territory, these things were nothing new to him... but when he thought he was all alone -- ]
Reply
[the sharp, dutiful tone of his voice is a welcomed familiarity, and he slides right into purpose before feelings as he always has (nothing could make him confess Katsura sounds as tired as he feels)]
Who else is present? Gintoki? The Kiheitai?
Reply
[he only belatedly realises (once the shock wears off, and the anger, and the worry) that this will be an arduous conversation on his heart]
[let it never be said he does not finish what he starts, whether his intentions are good or poor]
The Kihetai are not present, although I have confidence they are taking care of themselves, as usual. [an almost imperceptible pause] Gintoki is conducting reconnaissance. Resident lifeforms have thus far proved docile and non-confrontational, but number far too many to chance it. Do not engage.
