Sorry pal but your wish can’t be granted, why not try walking backwards instead. She still wouldn’t budge, she saw no worth in this guy and wouldn’t relax until he left.

"Is it really so much to ask? I understand not trusting others, but..."  This was a little extreme? He did understand being cautious, however. Shishio always said trusting lightly would lead to betrayal, after all. With her temperament, Soujiro suspected trying to reason with her would be difficult. She didn't leave much room for compromise.

"It is difficult to leave such matters unsettled, isn’t it?"

Yes, Pucci himself was no exception. While there were people in the City that wished to stay… Pucci himself was unsure - it wasn’t necessarily mandatory for him to return after all. He could create the world here but at the moment he lacked an ability to do that… But perhaps he would prefer to return to his original world after all. Certainly fate would guide him on this decision…. For a moment Pucci’s sight lingered elsewhere thinking back to the reasons he would like to return. 

"Still, what a grand goal - many people are content with less… " he said his intend to offer a praise. Pucci had no interest in politics. The law of God is what he went by. He could however appreciate such even if he still held such intent rather small.

Pucci gave a nod.

"Not just physically, of course. To have a strong character is equally important", he said, "it may broaden the usage of your abilities."

…yes, he should use this boy. He didn’t knew if he would be any help in combat and the like but at least to peek for information if needed. It did at least seem that he might have some aptitude for it. 

[bladeofheaven-blog]

"Not Mr. Shishio. He isn't content to sit back and watch Japan fall into disrepair due to the incompetence of the new government. Even if he has to burn the country to the ground to build a new order, he'll turn Japan into a military force that's respected and unmatched."

His eyes had lit up again, and this time Soujiro spoke with conviction, reflecting the zeal of someone who believed fully in his master's plans.  Even if the priest hadn't exactly asked him to volunteer the details, he spoke proudly of Shishio's cause. Despite the months spent in this city, Soujiro's loyalty had not waned in the slightest. Escape would always be at the back of his mind, but as the man said, his match with Himura was a sign he still needed to develop his abilities. Shishio had only talked about strength in physical terms, so perhaps there was another part that he was lacking...

"I think you're right. While it's difficult to leave things unsettled, it wouldn't be a bad idea to train while I'm here so that I'm prepared to face Mr. Himura when the time comes. Although.. I'm not sure how one would go about developing character. It's not like physical strength in terms of training, is it?"

Too much talking. I don’t want to team up with you, hear me? Having another person with me is only going to increase the difficultly of survival. You’ll have to find double the amount of food, watch out for each other. It’s just a fucking hassle. The last person she needed was someone who could fight. She could handle the fighting herself when necessary, even with BB Guns. If anyone it was someone who can take care of injuries. 

[bladeofheaven-blog]

"That would depend on the person. If you think about it, teamwork can be advantageous as well. Believe me when I say I'm not planning on dying either." It had merely been a question, since the woman had mentioned 'help'. But if she wasn't interested, there wasn't much else to discuss. He would move on to finding food and shelter. The fact that she had not lowered her weapon spoke of her guardedness, which raised his defenses in turn. "If you say so, I'll take my leave, then. But I would at least like to walk out of the store without a gun pointed at my back."

This guy looked like a fucking dweeb, what threat could he pose and what help could he be able to give me. There was no point in having excess people unless they could actually be of serious help. Just because you’re not a ‘threat’ doesn’t mean you could be of any help. He tried to walk closer, she backed away at the same time. Stay back motherfucker before I wipe that smile off your face by taking an eye of yours

[bladeofheaven-blog]

"Nice to meet you, too."  He answers wryly, a smile still on his face. Her aggression doesn't evoke any sort of emotional response. Not resentment, anger, nor fear, instead, Soujiro only chuckles at the threat, but he does stop in his tracks. His hand moves to the sword at his side and he readies himself to draw if necessary. Was she looking for a display of strength instead? It was true he had never appeared very intimidating, and with his well-mannered demeanor, not many would have guessed he was an experienced killer.

"With the storm going on, I'd rather not waste time or energy fighting each other. Is this your way of seeking allies? Then what if I prove to be 'of help'?"

Holy fuck it’s freezing. The streets were empty now, nobody in sight only snow upon snow upon snow. Revy new something was up and tried to find some shelter for a bit. She turned to see a clothing department across the street from her location, she rushed over and went inside closing the door quickly behind her.

It’s just as cold inside as well, fuck. Heater must be busted. She went deeper into the store looking for heavier clothes when she ran across another person in the store, she pulled out her useless BB guns from her holders and naturally aimed them directly at the ominous person in the store. Who the hell is there? Revy called out keeping her distance while the person was in the shadows. 

[bladeofheaven-blog]

This was cold like he had never experienced, even in the heater-less winters of the coldest regions of Japan. The unannounced shut down, the sudden influx of monsters...was this another trial the scientists were throwing at them? If so, Soujiro had no intention of dying. Survival instincts kicked in and a ruthlessly practical mindset took over. Warmth, food, shelter, those were the things he needed to secure, at whatever the costs. Starting with finding warmer clothes at the nearest store. There, his traditional wear came off, replaced by appropriate winter gear.

However, Soujiro soon noticed that he wasn't alone. Judging from the tone of her voice and the weapon in her hands - which, at this distance, he mistook for being a real gun - it seemed she had deemed his presence a potential threat. He did have his sword with him, but he didn't reach for it. It would only give the stranger the wrong impression.

"Just someone trying to take shelter from the blizzard. With the number of monsters out there, I think you'd better save your bullets for them." 

He answered calmly as he stepped out of the shadows, smiling amiably at the stranger despite her attitude. It was the same smile that tended to throw his enemies off guard, making him appear less threatening. Although his eyes wouldn't leave her gun until he determined it wouldn't be a threat.

Shinpachi’s brow furrowed when the kid said his name. It didn’t occur to him right away that he’d just yelled it for the world to hear; that was only meant for the people inside, after all. Whatever, he didn’t dwell on that, instead taking the hand and pulling himself up. At least now he managed to remain mostly steady. Mostly.

He was about ready to walk off, but the boy’s comment made him pause. Someone in this crazy place had actually heard of him? Well now. Before he had finished speaking, Shinpachi was already grinning ear to ear. Nevermind the implication that he didn’t seem like the great historical figure he apparently was.

"I do a bit more than share a name with him, kid. You’re looking at the real deal here." Like hell was he going to be modest about it. It wasn’t every day he got bragging rights in a town like this.

[bladeofheaven-blog]

It was as Soujiro suspected, however, this Nagakura didn't quite look like how he pictured the famed member of the Shinsengumi to be. He was a lot more laid back than Saitou Hajime, for one, and almost...careless in the way he acted.

"I don't mean to be rude, but are you sure didn't have too much to drink?" While Soujiro didn't think a man like him would lie, at the same time, he couldn't rule out the possibility he had one too many drinks. Well, there was one way he could find out. This man looked pretty confident of himself, the type that wouldn't back down from a challenge. Soujiro's hand moved to the sword strapped at his waist.

 "If you're really Nagakura Shinpachi-san, then according to what I've heard, you must be a pretty strong swordsman, right? Strong enough to fend someone off even when you've been drinking?"

[soulsetablaze]

"Yes, that would have to be my top priority at this moment. Um. Would you happen to know anything about how to do that?"

[bladeofheaven-blog]

"I wish I did, but I'm in the same predicament. The scientists are the only ones with the power to return us home. Unless you have any idea how to persuade them, it looks like the Takeda clan will have to go without you for a while."

Our characters just woke up in a motel room together with tattered clothes, injuries, an illegal firearm, a briefcase full of money, and no memory of the night prior!

►►In SIX WORDS or less, what does your character say to mine?

[slowsteadyandcombatready-deacti]

 As soon as Soujiro popped the question about what huntsmen and huntresses were trained, Penny immediately went off into a ramble.

"Hunters are trained in numerous academies all throughout Remnant to uphold peace and protect people from the threat of monsters known as Grimm. Only the best people are chosen to go to academies like Beacon; it’s a very exclusive job."

Once again, she left another topic up in the air; this time it was about Grimm; the monsters hunters are taught to recognise on sight that have been around since the time humanity had begun.

When the male spoke about his home being called ‘Japan’, Penny simply looked at him blankly. She had the most empty-looking expression on her face but you could still tell that cogs were spinning in her mind; she was thinking- had she heard of that place before? As soon as she came to a conclusion after that long pause, the came to attention and spoke.

"I have not heard of that place before! Where is it? If you are not a huntsman are you a cop? What do you fight for?"

This predicament just got a whole lot more interesting for Penny; which meant her curiosity was piqued to the fullest extent.

[bladeofheaven-blog]

Remnant and Grimm, more places and terms that sounded completely unfamiliar to him. While Soujiro listened intently as she relayed the information to him without missing a beat, it left him wondering about her odd behavior.

"I've never heard of these creatures before, but from what it sounds, Miss Penny must be pretty strong to be selected as a huntress."

From her words, it made sense then why they needed to train hunters and huntresses to fight monsters. It was kill or be killed, and from his experience, the world was not kind to those who were weak. Penny must be more powerful than he would have expected from her at first glance. As she took a long pause to think, Soujiro refrained from commenting in the silence, smiling at her when she finally arrived at her answer. Shaking his head, he replied.

"No, I'm not a cop. Actually, Mr. Shishio's plans put us at odds with the police. We're fighting to establish a new government, so I guess you could call us revolutionaries."

Technically, that made them criminals, too. But no matter what Penny might think upon hearing this, it wasn't a fact Soujiro thought to conceal. He believed in his master's goals.

[soulsetablaze]

"Where are the mountains? Who is this ‘rima hofuri—’, Rima-dono? U-4? There’s so much that I don’t understand…”

"Wait. If I’m here…"

"Th-then I have abandoned Oyakata-sama and deserted the Takeda clan?! SHAMELESS! HOW COULD I HAVE EVER ALLOWED SUCH A THING?!”

"GUH—! KYAAARGH?! THIS CANNOT BE!! GYAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!"

[bladeofheaven-blog]

"For shame! Sounds like you'd better find a way to escape the city, quick!"

"It was a very poor explanation that I have given you but that is the best that I can do. It is not something that can be fully explained, but only known from the beginning. Do you have any other questions before I move the topic to something more important?"

[bladeofheaven-blog]

"If the way our worlds work is fundamentally different, I'm not sure I would understand your explanation if you did try to elaborate. So I'll leave it at that for now, even if I can think of more questions. What's the important topic you would like to discuss?"

[oninoun]

There’s a moment when she can almost swear that she’s about to wrap her arms around her new acquaintance and grasp him tightly.  Thankfully, her old-world propriety and general shyness are more than enough to stop her in her tracks.

"Kyoto?"  She repeats in a bewildered excitement.  First he turns out to be from her place and time, but to have such specifics line up is more than Chizuru had ever hoped for.  And here she’d thought that the only ones she would have much in common with would be the other members of the Shinsengumi, if they ever did come to this strange place.

"I was raised in Edo, but I spent some of my more recent years in Kyoto with the Shinsengumi."  She knows not on which side of the issue he stands, and realizes only once the words have left her mouth that such a revelation may have been dangerous for her to make.  If he’s an imperialist, he’d have every right to kill her here and now, for even claiming to be affiliated with a pro-shogunate group.  She’d only never thought of it in such a way, since she doesn’t much get involved in politics herself.

She decides to fill the silence with another query.  ”Do you … know of them?  The Shinsengumi, I mean.”

[bladeofheaven-blog]

"Yes, I do know of them. The wolves of Mibu who fought to defend Kyoto and the shogunate during the Bakumatsu. They were a formidable group in their time."

As he speaks, his hand travels to rest on the hilt of his own sword. He's too young to remember the chaos of the late Tokugawa, but he's heard the stories. The swordsmen of the Shinsengumi and the skill of its captains, whose strength were of the few worthy enough to be acknowledged by Shishio, although Soujiro is confident they would be no match against his master, a former Ishin Shishi. Ironically, Shishio has now sworn revenge against the government that's betrayed his service, and Soujiro held no personal feelings towards rivalries of the past, so her claim did not stir any ill will. What puzzles him, though, is why a woman like Chizuru had gotten involved with such a group.

"I wouldn't have guessed Yukimura-san is personally acquainted with the Shinsengumi. Was there a reason you joined them?"

[lambetter]

"An uprising is a fruitless effort only befitting the intelligence of lesser men. The only method by which to ascertain control of a lawless city is to bring it about as though through the hands of those very citizens who fashion themselves as being unruly— and unfit to be ruled. By this design the powerful will naturally rise to their rightful place atop the hoard, and the weak dwindle into the very dust at their feet."

[bladeofheaven-blog]

"An order where the strong rule over the weak, that I understand. It's not so different from back home. But no matter how far up you climb here, the scientists still stand at the top. Do you plan on challenging them, too?"
