well, I guess that settles it... you know, there's a point where denial isn't worth it anymore （＾。＾；） for those who don't know much about Japanese history (like me), this is a Shinsengumi haori, because apparently I really am a century old samurai? except probably an alternate universe one or something. it's weird. either that or my old memories were from a really dedicated historical reenactor w serious delusions also, MY EYES ARE PURPLE NOW. so that's a thing ◔_◔ I guess I get to join the club of other people who have to pretend to be wearing contacts all the time oh! I guess I was also going to ask, how many here have memories that are like... normal, I guess? (‘◇’) well obviously memories of 1860s Japan is weird, but what I mean is that there's nothing supernatural about them. well almost... there's one that seems different. but the rest of them have no super powers, no monsters, nothing like that. it just looks like the past.

lol I never pretend with my eyes
so which of them were you?

[me_matey]

sweet eyes bruh. like a pretty jewel or somethin!

[vendettastool]

I'll join the club of normal memories, though they make me out like some kind of melodrama hero with a tragic backstory.

[spes_phthisica]

so what do you do if people you've known before ask why they changed?

okita souji, apparently.

[spes_phthisica]

awww may (●´艸｀)ヾ
I'm a bit embarrassed now, I wasn't trying to show off or anything
but it's a very sweet thing for you to say <3

[sakeplz]

I just say theyre my eyes now
wooooah thats scary
ru going to be okay?

[LOOK HE STUDIED JAPANESE HISTORY IN COLLEGE OKAY.]

[spes_phthisica]

oh good, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one...
and I mean, "I used to be a famous samurai who died tragically when he was young and possibly had a romance with someone who looked like an inverted dorito" is pretty melodramatic too
(〃￣ω￣〃ゞ
what kind of tragic backstory?

[God, Soujirou, you can't just ask someone why they're not black what their tragic backstory is.]

[spes_phthisica]

oh
I think that would confuse my mom a bit though...

well I mean I imagine I'll remember some unpleasant things
but my lungs were already kind of messed up so I'm not really worried

[No, he's not okay.]

[sakeplz]

oh I said it to my parents too


SOOJ THAT IS NOT OKAY

[vendettastool]

How about 'my father was killed during a secret mission by his own side and his best friend who he had protected with his own body raised me to take revenge on the people who ordered the hit'? Does that sound like a tragic enough backstory?

Inverted dorito? There are people who look like that?

[spes_phthisica]

ah

no I mean
I was already sick, okay? that's why I got so winded while fighting
but since I've already gotten used to it I'm going to be fine
so don't worry about me

[sakeplz]

NOT

OKAY

[spes_phthisica]

well, there's nothing I can do about it, is there?
at least tuberculosis actually has a cure

[He might be a little touchy about the whole thing.]

[sakeplz]

is there any way I can help?
Ill do it
promise

[spes_phthisica]

woooooow
yes that sounds incredibly dramatic and absolutely like you were some kind of action hero or something
and pretty sad too (‘A`)

more or less
reeeeally wide shoulders and a narrow waist
like the cover of a romance novel

[vendettastool]

Considering I have gained a fighting skill I never had before and some interesting scars, action hero melodrama character seems to be my story.

Wow, you lucky dog. I guess. I mean I don't swing that way but that sounds hot.

Were you a warlord in Japan or something?

[spes_phthisica]

there’s nothing anyone can do
getting upset won’t change anything, and I don’t want people to worry about me
so try to just forget about it and act normally, okay? that’s all I want

[sakeplz]

Ill worry because I love you
but I can still act normal because thats what you want
you just have to promise to tell me if there ever is anything I can do

[With that said.....................]

omg purple eyes are so pretty on you tho!

[spes_phthisica]

well, fighting skills are pretty useful to us, right?
and scars can be used to impress people (・ωｰ)～☆

I didn’t think that I swung any way at all, honestly, but maybe the other me was different. kind of felt different.

samurai. google says “first unit captain of the shinsengumi”, so I guess that’s it.

[spes_phthisica]

[He’s breathing out a sigh of relief. If he could take back the conversation so that Jirou won’t worry at all, he would, but this is the second best thing.]

thank you
I promise

[And he’s going to let it go at that because it’s easier to pretend nothing happened.]

ah really? (/ε＼*) you don’t think they look weird?
brown looked a lot more normal, right?

[sakeplz]

lol but purple is one of my favorite colors!

[okitactless]

[WELP. That answers that.

For once in his dang life, Yasusada manages to scrounge up some common decency and ask:]

can we talk in private

[spes_phthisica]

along with aaaallllllll the colors? (⌒.−)＝★
just being silly
but I guess I’m glad it at least looks nice even if it’s weird
probably clashes with my favorite hat, though

[He says that as if ALL his clothes don’t clash with everything, all the time.]

[spes_phthisica]

[Soujirou isn’t sure if this has to do with Kiyomitsu, or adds to the implications that both of them had a connection to him - that sword move, the undeniable connection between his two friends. Either way, it’s an easy question to answer.]

of course

[sakeplz]

lol no. my favs are red and purple.
also honey ur fashion sense is terrible to begin with
just saying
