Can't say I'm not glad to be back to something a little simpler. If the colors weren't so damned bright, the apartment might almost get to feeling like home. Almost.

Understood. I'll continue my surveillance of him, then. Keeping the weaker ones as far away from the hole as possible seems to be a good idea as he'll likely move out from there. It seems to be his base of operations somehow.

As a side note, I miss the party. It was fun.

[Locked to Souji]

A good thought. We shouldn't have to move them immediately, so there's a few days to coordinate.

...It had its redeeming moments.

Keeping them to the forest may help disperse them so they are harder to find. Or, if a group can manage it, take to the mountains. They seem difficult to scale.

You know, the party doesn't have to end just because we're home now♥

Possibilities. What about the cave? Damage sustained there doesn't seem to be permanent, so if we could keep them there, it might be safe.

Oh? Did they let you keep the dresses?

[Locked to Hijikata]

[candyswords]

That might be best, actually, if damage is only temporary there.

[haxxed the strikes] Oh~? Hoping for one in particular, are we?

We should make preparations to move them along with supplies for withstanding a possible siege. It would be best to time it as close to the curse lifting as possible, to keep the enemy from finding out.

None in particular. You seemed like you were getting pretty attached to those butterflies.

[ooc: Pfft, Hijikata, you liar.]

Sounds like a plan. I have large baskets in my room that would be fit for moving things over in bulk should we need them. I'll work on making more.

Oh? I was thinking you might be attached to that short number I had in the middle of the week.

Do that. Someone can start stocking up on food and medical supplies...The page, maybe Harada...we can get outside help on that part.

Didn't figure you'd want to keep that one. I can't say it was too bad, though.

I'll start work on them immediately. I have stock of a few medical supplies like bandages, but the rest will have to come from the forest. Sending Tetsu-kun and Tatsunosuke-san out for it might be a good idea. Let the brothers reconnect, hm?

I know you enjoyed it♥ I didn't mind it after I got used to it.

[Locked to Souji]

[mibu_alpha]

That's fine. The two of them need to be kept busy, anyway, or one will worry and the other will give him cause to.

...Hm. Is it still around?

[Locked to Hijikata]

[candyswords]

Shall I suggest to them that they go on a shopping errand, then?

And maybe~ I'll have to look around and see. I woke up back in my normal clothing, so I can't be sure.

[Locked to Hijikata]

[mibu_alpha]

Go ahead.

And...look around when you've got the time. I'd be interested to see if we brought anything back with us.

♥ Hoping for a repeat performance, are we?

Mastery comes only from constant review of and improvement on what you've done before. We could do just fine without the dress, but it was a point of interest I wouldn't mind revisiting...

...[giggles]

You have such a way with words. Well...the boys are going out and we haven't started preparations yet. Have a little time~?

[Locked to Souji | Voice]

[mibu_alpha]

I can make time. I'll go over there--the cat's sick, so I can't kick him out right now.
