mid....week 12?

[iaijutsu]

[I have no exact date but after this goes down...]

Sir. If I may have a moment?

[demarcates]

[ it's before Shinpachi's throwing a fit at him so it's all good. ]

Go ahead.

[iaijutsu]

I have inadvertently revealed to Rei Kurosawa that I am a rasetsu. I have said nothing about you or anyone else, but I apologize for my indiscretion.

[At least he's sure Hijikata knows who Rei is, since Rei mentioned having permission from him to kick Saitou's ass if he overdid it again. Oops.]

[demarcates]

[ on one hand it's good to know they're spending time together because he knows she'll look out for him (and saitou needs friends, anyway) but on the other hand... ]

What do you mean 'inadvertently'?

[ how the fuck does one pull that off inquiring minds would like to know. ]

[iaijutsu]

It was because I collapsed on her, sir.

[Though at least he realizes before just sending that that he'd better elaborate so it doesn't sound like he collapsed on her while trying to take a bite.]

She says she has been afflicted by a curse, and that by touching me, she was able to tell. The mirrors in the carnival reflected me as a rasetsu, which confirmed her suspicions and prompted her to mention it; I had not realized she knew anything until then.

[demarcates]

[ oh shit. well then. ]

I see.

[iaijutsu]

She has assured me that she has no intention of spreading this information further, and I do believe her to be sincere. Regardless, I assume full responsibility for any repercussions this may have, and I apologize again for my carelessness.

[demarcates]

Very well, then.

[ he's actually way more concerned about the whole mirror thing. ]

You said the House of Mirrors at the carnival?

[ guess where he's not taking ootori, for starters. ]

[iaijutsu]

[Don't worry, Hijikata, Ootori-san will find out somehow.]

Yes, sir.

[demarcates]

[ gdit ]

I'll take a look.

[iaijutsu]

I received a hand mirror upon leaving that appears to have the same effect, if you wish to examine that as well. I was also given a store voucher, however, so while I recommend avoiding the mirrors while accompanied, it may be to our advantage if as many of us as possible walk through.

[Breaking it was tempting, but Saitou is the prudent one and doesn't have a roommate to worry about awkward moments with, so he's settled for squirreling it away under the mattress, out of sight.]

[demarcates]

All right.

I guess if they're going to give them away we'd be pretty stupid not to accept such generosity.

[ generous bunch of fucking assholes.

but... he doesn't get the idea of a maze of mirrors. in fact, he's not really sure that sounds exciting—not because of the reflection thing, though—because of how many times is he going to smack himself into one of the goddamn things (little does he know how many, but to his credit he's at least somewhat aware to be prepared for it).

times like these it's always good to prioritize the issues. well, that, and truth be told, he's not so sure it's as simple as only showing their rasetsu form alone as a literal reflection—not really, anyway (it'd be a lot easier to pass off simple color changes in a world like this) unless it was reflected with something else telling a more severe and honest story. ]

[iaijutsu]

Should I bring it to you now, or would later be more convenient?

[demarcates]

whenever you get around to it. my door's open for you.

[ congratulations, you've leveled up your hijiji social link, saitou.]

[iaijutsu]

Yes, sir.
