[ i hate this grandpa and i also hate how tsurumauru indulges him by opening the door. he'll stay there until mikazuki is inside so he can close it for him too. ]

Secret? Tell me!

[ a surprise??? ]

[unsaid]

[this is why mikazuki literally never changes his ways - no one makes him. still, he does like to be treated well, and so he doesn't see a reason why he shouldn't play with tsurumaru for just a moment.

so he just smiles when the door is opened for him, but instead of getting in right away, he'll lean in close to tsurumaru and bow his head so he can speak into his ear - ]

... I think that both now and in the vision I saw just moments ago, I am a bit predisposed to trouble.

[so consider this your fair warning, my dear.

but then he'll move to get into the car! nice.]

[preowned]

[ he touches his ear, and it takes him a few extra seconds to close the door after him and walk over to the driver's side of the car. he is at least patient enough to wait until he's also in the car and in the process of starting it to speak. ]

Did you see something in the museum then?

[ tsurumaru hadn't seen a 'vision', he just suddenly knew about something he didn't before, so he's curious as to what that exactly means. ]

[unsaid]

Mm, I did, I did.

[easily, even as mikazuki makes himself comfortable in his seat, lacing his fingers and setting them in his lap even as one leg crosses over the other.]

They felt like old friends - those that you hope to keep out of harm's way, to protect their hearts when they themselves do not know how to take the steps.

But I wonder what it could all mean?

[preowned]

[ and they're off. tsuru is not 100% sure which direction the mall is in, but he still just chooses one to go in regardless without asking. it's fine. ]

You do seem the type to have many friends in extraordinary places. [ ... ] But I'm really not sure what this mystery is leading to.

[unsaid]

[



they're going to get lost on their way to the mall]

Ha ha ha, I am not sure either. Though those I saw did look a little familiar to me....

[did i decide that the sanjous are jiji's family in this au? i literally no longer fucking remember]

... and I felt as though there was something that I must do....

I wonder what that could be in this situation?

[preowned]

It's hard to guess without further context.

[ they are definitely going to get lost, or tsuru will drive by something else he thinks looks neat and will sidetrack them completely. but for now he makes no obvious sign that he has no idea where he is going. ]

But... we can assume that Japanese history is somehow involved, yes? For us both. It was when you were looking at the sword and the naginata?

[unsaid]

[mikazuki has no reason to think that tsurumaru is lost - and even if he did, he would just settle himself as a passenger anyway? it's fine.]

Mm - and your knowledge came from the exhibit relating to the Sengoku era, no? When reviewing Date Masamune's famed swords...?

Whereas I was reviewing Imanotsurugi and Iwatooshi, belonging to a different era.

[preowned]

How strange!

[ now if only they could figure out what it all meant. ]

I think that it would be one thing if we only saw visions or gained knowledge, but that on top of suddenly becoming younger is...


[ even weirder? he isn't sure how the two correlates with each other. ]

[unsaid]

Do you think physical exertion is in our future? Ha ha ha, we might need to be on our guard.

[to do work that they couldn't do in their old bodies?????]

I'll leave it to you.

[just kidding jiji doesn't want to work at all]

[preowned]

Eh? Are you trying to get out of doing something, Mikazuki?

[ he knows what the answer is but he has to ask

they pass by a billboard for some remake of a horse movie but it's chocobos now. tsuru just hms softly at it. ]

[unsaid]

Can I be blamed for stepping aside when you have always been far more graceful than I?

[jiji: if i praise him will i get out of doing work?

but as they drive pass the billboard,,]

... perhaps we should go riding sometime soon. There are some stables and paths near the edge of city.

[arE ALL HORSES GONE?????]

[preowned]

If only I were as graceful as you are with words.

[ tsuru is concerned for many reasons, one being that he has a fuckin farm, so he makes a mental note to ask to be sent some pictures of his home just to double check some things. ]

... mm, riding should be fine. It's been a while since I've been able to.

[unsaid]

Do you think my words sound nice? Then I'll consider myself very lucky.

[continues to try to get out of doing work]

Then let us put that next on our agenda of investigations.

[it just sounds like a date but that's cool]

[preowned]

[ everything they do to investigate is just dates yea ]

We'll need to track down that building as well... the one connected to the Respite application.

[ retrospec. please at least remember what it's called. ]

It's somewhere in the city, right?

[unsaid]

Likely so. Perhaps we can go searching for it - ah.

[he says, but if tsuru's getting them hella lost, there's no reason to presume why they wouldn't just. drive right past it.]

That one.

[preowned]

[ the way that tsuru just fucking SLAMS on the brakes, and luckily there is no one behind them or else they would have definitely just caused an accident. ]

Let's go look!

[ he is going to break some traffic laws to park it's fine ]

[unsaid]

[he'd respond

if he didn't just get choked out by his seatbelt hello

he's just going to be turning to the side and coughing for a second]

[preowned]

[ he is...... not apologetic whatsoever, it's horrible.

but once he's parked, he'll innocently look over at jiji while he unbuckles. ]

Is everything okay?

[ as if it wasn't his fault ]

[unsaid]

... maybe I should look into getting a chauffeur again...?

[he won't complain directly though, no....]

If we're already here then there's no trouble, I suppose.

[tsuru literally violated traffic to get them here]

[preowned]

Oh, that's too bad.

[ about the chauffeur

but it's fine. this is a busy part of the city so there's probably like, also stores around as well so it's fine. ]

A quick look won't hurt!

[unsaid]

I think you take too much pleasure in these 'joy rides', my crane.

[but it's fine there's so much to do here! also do you remember how they kept lockers by the retrospec building in order to get memorabilia - jiji's going to wander toward those now]

Have these always been here?

[no]

[preowned]

Maybe it was built for the building?

[ he tilts his head. admittedly, it's not like he actively lives here so it wouldn't be too hard for him to miss a new building springing up between now and his last visit.

but he'll walk over to peek through the windows... it looks like a normal lobby. ]

[unsaid]

[mikazuki is going to inspect the mailboxes and




try to open every single one]

Interesting, interesting... Perhaps this is what they call a corporate takeover?

[preowned]

It's impressive, especially since they managed to get that thing on our phone.

[ tsuru says this, when he has accidentally downloaded so many things. but the fact that the app can't be seen by other people is very uh

suspect ]

How do they do it, I wonder.
