[screwthegods]

[Although Homura had been feeling normal and very much himself when he left community housing building three at night, somewhere along the way came a decisive change. So instead of the masculine demi-god that normally wandered, there stood an innocent-appearing girl with a wide-eyed expression that, frankly, Homura would never have. But Rinrei had always differed from him, even on such a basic level.

Not that Homura's aware of just who he's turned into at first. It starts off simply enough--opening the journal to issue a comment of warning.]

It seems we're about to undergo another experiment.

[Yet five hundred years hadn't dulled his memory of her voice, or her face, when he finally finds a window to peer into. Suddenly, what might have been an amusing play with his gender is much less entertaining.]

...An unpleasant one.

You have to admit, it's interesting.

Re: video

Interesting is one word for it. [Maybe even a word Homura would have chosen himself, if he didn't see the face of his dead lover every time he looked in a window or heard her voice every time he spoke.]

So are you a victim as well?

Re: video

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Do I look like I am?

[Souji is trolling. Poor Homura.]

Re: video

[ipromisetodie.livejournal.com]

Considering that we seem to be changing into different people, it's difficult for me to tell.

[So mean, Okita.]

Re: video

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Is that what is happening? How interesting. Are we switching bodies?

[You expected him to be nice? That wouldn't be very HIJIKATA LIKE AT ALL /killed ]

Re: video

[ipromisetodie.livejournal.com]

Not to the extent that you should expect the other person to be you. [Unless Rinrei has shown up without Homura being aware, which--isn't entirely likely, given how he stalks monitors the network.]

[Oh, and Homura linefaces at you, Okita. :| Except not really.]

Re: video

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

That's unfortunate. [He would have liked to see Hijikata being short for once.] Or maybe it's fortunate, we'll have to see.

So, what is your name?

Re: video

[ipromisetodie.livejournal.com]

Homura. And you are?

Re: video

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[Homura? What. ....ffffff

And Okita decides to keep trolling so Hijikata has someone who knows him.]

Hijikata. You're the one I see wandering around town sometimes, right?

Re: video

[ipromisetodie.livejournal.com]

[You're a terrible person, Okita.]

It's likely, although I don't believe we've met. Normally I'm male, and I wear a set of chains on my wrists.

[If Hijikata has seen him, those are the easiest distinctions to make.]

Re: video

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[Yes and this is news, how?]

Yes, I've seen you, but we haven't met yet. Next time, let's remedy this problem.

I'm at House 50.

[ipromisetodie.livejournal.com]

[It isn't. Just worth restating.]

I suppose there's no time like the present, is there?

[Because telling Homura where you were was a prompt for him to go over there now, right? It doesn't even take long, since he still has his powers. Huzzah. Though, he does need a moment to gather his bearings before he knocks on the door.]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[WTF NO. THAT WAS...

...IT'S HARDER TO BE HIJIKATA IN PERSON. /sob

But Okita will still get up and answer the door, eyebrow raised at the weirdly appropriate timing of it all.]

....How did you get here so fast?

action

[ipromisetodie.livejournal.com]

[Pfft. Trolling has backfired. WHAT DO YOU DO NOW, OKITA?

Homura laughs softly at the look, the man's confusion evident.]

I can teleport myself some distance, although that ability has been limited here. Still, there's a certain amount of convenience to be had.

action

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Handy skill you have then. Hope it doesn't get you in trouble.

Re: action

[ipromisetodie.livejournal.com]

Not as of yet. I'm not completely defenseless, however.

[If he can teleport, then Homura can still likely produce flame as well. And of course, the ability to fight is one he learned.]

Is there any particular reason you wished to meet me?

Re: action

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Mm, good to know.

[So Homura can fight, too? Souji kind of expected that from the guy's physique.] And it's good to know who's in the village, isn't it?

Re: action

[ipromisetodie.livejournal.com]

Was it concerning you?

[Although not that sort of person himself in many cases, Homura has noticed a general "kindness" that seems to influence a number of the actions people take in Luceti.]

This is true, but I'm hardly the only one. Do you make a habit out of inviting everyone over?

Re: action

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

No. [UHHH how to act like Hijikata more? snap snap snap] It's just good to know who's capable here.

And that's usually Souji's job. [This is so weeeeeeeird.]
