O: ACTIVITY. LIVE COMMUNITY, LIIIIIIVE!

[notachick]

Hello? Everyone's been so quietly lately. Did everyone go home?

Comments

[smilingseta]

*smiles*

[notachick]

[smiling] I see. That's good to know, seeing how I don't stand at his side.

I'd much rather stand before him, as enemies are supposed to stand.

[smilingseta]

Oh? That's interesting. And how did the Battousai become your enemy?

[notachick]

Fairly easily. He's the Battousai. It's my job and duty to kill him.

[smilingseta]

Your job?

I guess there are lots of people who want to kill Himura Battousai-san. But it's not surprising, since he killed a lot of people when he was an assassin.

Do you know Shinomori-san, too?

[notachick]

Yes, my job. Rather morbid, isn't it? I don't like talking about it.

Shinomori-san? I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with that name.

But what is your name, hm? I don't believe we've met before, have we?

[smilingseta]

Morbid? Not really. If you are strong, you survive. If you are weak, you die. That's just how it is.

No, I don't think we've met. Seta Soujirou. And you, mister?

[notachick]

What a very straightforward philosophy.

Seta Soujirou-kun, is it? [pauses for a moment and then smiles] How funny - we share a name. My name is also Soujirou.

[smilingseta]

You're an interesting person, Soujirou-san. You should come talk to Shishio-san sometime.

But I forgot the cakes! Did you want one? *politely offers the box, with both hands*

[notachick]

You're quite interesting yourself, Seta-kun. Who is Shishio-san, by the way? You've mentioned him twice now.

Ah! Right the cakes! Yes, thank you very much. [bows and takes one]

[smilingseta]

He's the strongest man in Japan.

*takes a cake himself and takes a bite* Hmm. These are good.

He's gathering other strong people . . . so Japan will be strong, too.

[notachick]

Oh~ Then I should certainly meet him someday. I've never met the strongest of anything before.

[waits until Soujirou eats before eating his] They really are! It's so nostalgic~ I haven't had one in...weeks now, I suppose.

Are you one of the strong ones he's gathered then?

[smilingseta]

Where do you live? I can try to arrange for you to meet him, when I get back.

So suspicious, Soujirou-san! The cakes are fine. *eats another bite of his*

*laughs* I've been with Shishio-san for a long time. *his smile grows wider for a moment*

[notachick]

Right now? Far, far away, unfortunately.

I was merely being polite, not suspicious, silly. [takes his sweet time relishing the cake now]

It must be nice - being so close to someone for so long.

[smilingseta]

Far away from what?

*mildly curious* Is it?

Have you ever fought Himura-san, Soujirou-san?

[notachick]

Far away from home, I suppose you could say. I'm being held against my will outside of Japan.

[quiet for a bit as he finishes up his food] Mm, I would think it would be.

As for Himura-san? Yes, I have. Quite a few times, come to think of it, but something always gets in the way. Have you?
