voicemail.
[Following the "record your voicemail at the beep" message--]
What? Who gave you the right to order me around? -- W-Wait, was that the beep?
I wasn't prepared--!! [a whispered hiss:] How do you get this thing to stop-?!
[Beep!
You know the drill! IC Inbox for voice/video/action threads for whatever occasion.]

UHM!!!!!!! YES??????? :knife:
SIGH... he just rubs the back of his neck. mostly because he wants to say how he's been trying to contact everyone but he hasn't been getting anything back? he honestly just want his comrades to talk to him. is he that hard to approach (YES YOU ARE, HIJIKATA)? it's... well, stressful?
but if he throws a fit in front of a 17 year old girl... he'd look like a fool.
and now he'll run a hand through his bangs. time to focus at the problem at hand. ]
Well, you said it wasn't something to tell over the phone, so sit down in the main room at least.
[ MEANWHILE... since Hijikata can't drink tea because that requires touching a hot tea cup he's going to light his kiseru pipe! he uses the stove for the fire to light it since he hasn't been lighting candles. thankfully, smoke is not something you can physically touch so he is FREE from anymore dumb memories (#cheater). he doesn't even hesitate to take in long drags and exhale a lot of smoke... sorry Lili. ]
hahahahahahhHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH naive
However, preoccupied as she is, she doesn't notice a wispy, unhappy goat appearing right in her wake. Its hooves touch the ground in curiosity, then in irritation. Given the new environment, it then moves in exploration and Lili doesn't even notice. Perhaps in another moment, but for right now the goat is irritated by the amount of smoke in the air. It's dark, it's annoying!
So in a very Lili-esque move, it will actually agitated headbutt into Hijikata's leg.
Oops.
At the same time, Lili blinks as she feels something shift.
(She's forgotten how to get to work.)]
ANYWAy how dare you,
but once seeing that memory, Hijikata pauses for a moment - the pipe a few centimeters away from his lips. actually, not just for a moment. he just stands there, almost a bit too still even for someone like Hijikata.
these images were almost too vivid, but what threw him off the most was that he doesn't even know what this is. where was this place? why was there so much water? this isn't his but... Lili's - right?
that was almost uncomfortable to watch. being a samurai, he always accept death, especially on the battlefield but... it was almost so vivid and unexpected it made his stomach churn just a bit.
weird. he shouldn't feel like that. ]
The hell was that...
[ is all he can mutter once he snaps out of it, meanwhile placing the pipe onto the counter. yeah, he's definitely going to walk straight over to Lili and grab whatever fabric of her outfit that he can grasp.
his eyebrows furrowed, his voice sounds threatening now because he's GOING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF ... Something..? ]
I want you to tell me what happened. Now.
[ THIS IS The Voice HE USES ON SOUJI, IT BETTER WORK. ]
points!! i bring the pain
Hijikata grabbing onto her fabric of her clothes probably is what keeps her upright in the first place as she stumbles, her gaze swimming as she's trying to regain an understanding of - the world, the ground, her sense of balance. There's just enough part of her to realize that she shouldn't hold Ume when she feels sick so she's going to deposit the puppy on the ground even as she tries to lift her head to see Hijikata.
What happened?
What is he talking about? There's a pause in her words, but she supposes that there is only one thing that she wanted to talk to him about. The catalyst of - everything.
So when she finds her voice again, she finds it in a gasp-]
I died.
[Is that what you wanted, Hijikata?]
