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.

[unsaid]

... well, I suppose that now is as good a time as any for an old man such as myself to learn a new trick or two.

[i can't believe that jiji has to research technology and retrospec now? he's going to break it.

but there is an odd click suddenly when one of the lockers actually manages to nudge open instead of resisting his curiosity]

Oh....?

[preowned]

[ the sound of the click catches his attention, and he'll wander back to mikazuki to nestle at his side. ]

Is there anything inside?

[ how did jiji break it ]

[unsaid]

Let us find out.

[as he moves to nudge the door open so that he can reach inside? what he manages to pull out is -

an omamori. you know, the kind that the saniwa gives to swords in order to keep them from breaking the kind that lune ended up keeping on his person out of habit and yet he still broke from the force of a meteor strike after corruption not that mikazuki knows this!]

Hm... lucky?

[preowned]

[ SHUT THE FUCK UP

but interesting... that gets him nosy enough that tsuru will obnoxiously attempt to open all of the lockers as well. ]

I wonder if all of the lockers have one of those?

[unsaid]

[wow i was just giving context

mikazuki will just move to put the omamori in his coat pocket - he can't help but feel as though it belongs there - as he watches tsurumaru try to open the others

then he'll move to close the locker again - and hum softly when his attempt to reopen it is denied]

.... I suppose there's no way to find out but to try. Though it would appear as though once it's empty, it will seal itself again.

[preowned]

Is that so...

[ no luck, none of them open for him. he pouts for a second, before pointing over at the building. ]

It's locked. But there doesn't seem to be anyone inside, so I don't know if it's simply closed or what.

[ it's the middle of the day though, which is an odd time for a business to be closed. ]
