the general - day zero.

[foxhounds]

THE GENERAL day zero Ivan has told you what you're meant to do in the coming days, and she's also told you that there's an hour before other souls will start washing up on the shores. She has to leave to prepare, but you're all together in the lobby of the mansion. Take it as a chance to meet each other and get to know the people you'll be working with.

Like? [ What is that suppose to imply? ]

I am. The Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi. Is there a problem?

[hopefragment]

Uh...

[Yeah. Yeah, there's lots of problems here, like how this guy should have died like two hundred years ago or something. Is this one of those situations like his classmate Gundam, who is so absorbed in a role that there's no point questioning it...]

No. It's nice to meet you, I guess.

[Just... plays along. If nothing else, it does make it a little more likely that Ivan was telling the truth about them being dead.]

[hijiwanwan]

Hm... Likewise, I suppose. [ Sort of. This kid is far too timid, Hijikata just wonders if he'll even be able to pull his weight. ]

Since you're not going to tell me much, I'll presume you rather show it in practice? Compared to the rest of the lot you surely stand out, but not in a good way. [ A sigh leaves Hijikata's lips. ]

However, I don't like working with people that lack determination. Stop looking so nervous, alright?

[ This... Is definitely going to take some work. ]

[Jeez! Way to make a great first impression, Hajime.]

Yeah, I'll show you. Don't worry, when it comes time, I won't be a hindrance.

[He... doesn't know how exactly, yet, but as long as he can remember his talent... that will help, right?]

And hey... I am a student of Hope's Peak, you know. Don't count me out so easily.

[No, being a student is definitely different from being a Shinsengumi captain or a mage-! And he knows it.]
