backdated to the end of the tournament/after the illuminated do their thing
Seems like now might be a good time to get ourselves on the same page.
[To put it lightly. They've had days to wander around, get acclimated, listen to the gossip...and now between everyone wrapping things up to return to their places after the tournament, and the infodump so thoughtfully provided by the local mage-types, the real work begins.]
People are packing up to head home. That leaves us with a lot of possible leads to follow. I know at least a couple of us were thinking of following Jaeger back to Flamegard; Verreuil was talking about following the guy in yellow.
Westgard's hiring knights, and from the way people were talking when the notice went up, it sounds like the offer is unusually generous. Might be a good way to get in the loop on that; it's sounding more and more to me like the throne is why we're here. Keeping an eye on the nobles is probably in our best interest.
And I doubt that's everything worth looking into, obviously - that's just the shit I've already heard about. Anyone got anything to add? We're gonna have to divide and conquer here, but it helps if we know what we're dividing to begin with.
[And after a moment, he adds -]
All of mine from back home, consider reporting in here an order, not a courtesy. [Because goddamn he's got too many of you to keep track of, throw him a bone here.]

[...well, that means he should probably get the confusing part out of the way too, huh.]
...there's another guy here with the same name. It's confusing, we know. I think he's infiltrating this time, so you might not run into him soon, but I'm the one with shorter hair and no metal arm.
no subject
Right well, no metal arm. I'll keep that in mind. Could be an important detail.
[Though hold on a minute. He's not the world's best student, but even so he's taken history classes.] So you're both named after that historical figure, right?
[Give him a second. He'll realize that what this guy said about being from 1869 and how that doesn't work out at all.] I guess it probably gets confusing though.
no subject
Gets worse when you count the three Okita Soujis, but there's not much we can do about that.
no subject
[Yeah he's starting to wonder about several things just now.] But... you all are different people, right? Just the same names? Not clones or something like that.
no subject
no subject
[And then because let's just put this out here.] I think I've read about one version or another of you in history books. Just, so you know.
no subject
[He's not - the most conversant in future anything, but the other Hijikata seems to be from one of the most advanced societies even among the rest of the travelers. Trying to picture someone from a future beyond that might make his head implode.]
no subject
[Kuzuryuu definitely isn't from post-space-age, so it's a pretty safe bet.]
I guess if they can drag people from different worlds, why not from different times? And why not sort of famous people. ...do you have any idea why they do pick the people they do to drag into this mess? Whoever they are. The Trumps or whatever.

I'm not saying it makes sense, but at least it makes... something.
[He doesn't know. Almost sense. Non-nonsense.]
