Um.. I'm sorry for announcing this inbetween everything else, but-- I wanted to make sure I wouldn't do it too late so that it'd be inconvenient for other people..

[ Yes, sorry for interrupting all your talk about PSYCHENet and Trumps and love confessions and god knows what else.. at least she's keeping it in theme, okay. ]

But as some of you already heard, Toshizou and I are going to get married during this Jaunt. [ And despite somewhat natural nervousness of but whAT IF IT'S INCONVENIENT FOR EVERYONE ELSE lingering in her tone, she does sound very happy. It's not hard to tell. Just some nervous happy jitters about it still, really. ] It'll be on the 11th, so.. if you want to come, you can..! But I understand that people are busy with more important things as well, so please don't feel obligated at all..

[ .. look, maybe it's not the best announcement, but it could've been worse. It could've been Toshizou "COME OR DON'T IDGAF SHIT DAMN PISS HELL" Hijikata saying it. Instead it's just lingered with Chizuru's constant need to put her own needs fifteen miles behind everyone else's. ]

I think PSYCHENet is going to officiate it, so it could also maybe be helpful for finding out more about this Jaunt. If people are wondering about that sort of thing instead, I mean.

In either case, thank you for listening..!

[ .. ah yes, and today in Facts That Are Not Depressing At All.. Chizuru's quiet for a moment when he says he died, like she isn't sure what to say. Especially since she doesn't recognize the name at all, Chizuru has been such a shut-in for most of her life, so she doesn't know history whatsoever..

After a moment she finds the courage to speak up though. She owes him at least that much after he was kind enough to reply. ]

I'm sorry to hear that.. I hope you can at least find happiness even after death by experiencing all these different worlds, though. It can sometimes be really interesting..

[ If it was any other situation, he would have laughed. But they were discussing matters of weddings before, and he should not let his own emotions mar her happiness.

His answer is said a little wryly. ] Indeed it is. It has been rather enlightening to experience so many different cultures. We can learn much from them.

[ Though they were not always positive examples. ]

How has the planning been going?

[tealeafs]

Ah, um..

[ At least she does catch this time that he's trying to divert the topic a little from what they were talking about, so Chizuru gathers all of her strength to be able to speak of it relatively normally. He probably doesn't want her to stay so downcast when he's trying to move away from the topic. ]

I think it's been going alright.. PSYCHENet arranged that we can use the shrine on the grounds here. Honestly, I didn't expect them to have something like that here, so I'm a little glad..

[ Look, this place might be anime Japan as hell, but Chizuru is from the 1860s and has no idea what modern anime Japan is like. ]

[ It would be a good thing if he wasn't otherwise so suspicious of its intentions. ]

Likewise. But it is good that the people here still remember their past and culture. [ Some never did. ] If anything, it's a little nostalgic, if I may say so myself.

[ you're old, takakage

But anyway. ]

Will you be inviting the natives as well as us Travelers?

[tealeafs]

[ he truly is old

it's a good thing that chizuru is way too polite to think that...

Instead she goes quiet for a moment after he asks that. ]

I didn't think of that yet.. do you think they'd like to attend? Um, to be entirely honest, I didn't think they would really care all that much-- they don't know us very well, after all..!

[thirdarrow]

That is true. [ Admittedly, this is his first Jaunt, so he still is not quite familiar with the full procedure. ] It would be easy to contact the Investigators through the network, but - what about the Infiltrators?

[ It would be a shame to force them to miss out, but... ]

[tealeafs]

We could announce the wedding in person, I suppose.. Toshizou is part of the faculty here, they should know him by now. [ Even if he's just doing it to blend in, but whatever. The blending in part seems to work fairly well. ]

Then they could attend even if they don't realise what's really going on.

[thirdarrow]

[ It all sounds reasonable to Takakage, so he just nods along. ]

It would be a good plan, yes. Just let me know if you need help.

[tealeafs]

I will..! I think we might end up letting PSYCHENet do it after all, but if something happens before then, or if there's some last-minute problem, I will make sure to ask you.

[ Especially since he's been kind enough to offer. ]

Thank you so much, Kobayakawa-san.

[thirdarrow]

It's the least I can do.

[ He's all for helping others at every possibility, after all. ]

Have a good day, Miss Chizuru.
