 A few weeks prior to December 26th, an invitation went out to all whom already reside in Cerealia. In delicate, curling script, it read: You are cordially invited by Natalia L.K. Lanvaldear to a Winter Ball to be held on the Eve of December 26th in the Gardens. Dress in your best attire and enjoy a magical evening of dance and fine cuisine. What do you mean we should fuss about worlds being destroyed? Get into the holiday spirit, you scrooge! And in regards to the new-comers: whether you have been wandering Cerealia over the course of the past few days and managed to receive one of the later waves of invitations or have simply suddenly appeared in the gardens with nothing but the (hopefully…. appropriate….) clothes on your back, welcome. The gardens have been transformed through the work of

Natalia managed to rope in someone – is that a Tellus native? – to do the honor of acknowledging your character as they make their debut to the ball. This guy is under strict orders to not miss a single soul. If your character doesn’t give him a name and title ahead of time, then he’ll just make something up.

Welcome to CEREALIA's latest intro post overflow! It's a bit early but just to make sure the transition for everyone over here was captcha-free. This one is player-run and all the basics have been laid out for you here. Absolutely feel free to come up with your own prompts and post new intros! For your convenience, I whole-heartedly welcome questions and inquiries being directed to my attention here and I'll answer them to the best of my ability! |

Souji's version of the Shinsengumi wouldn't even be surprised. Souji being obsessed with Hijikata to ridiculous extremes? Must be a day ending with a y. How nice to see that he's got a friend now.How could Souji possibly mind finding that someone else understands the way he feels about this? Some people are simply meant to be weapons, to be wielded by those with clearer vision and stronger will than they could ever manage themselves. There is no shame in that, no flaw - hadn't Hijikata shown him as much, that day so many years ago. As long as he stays true to what he is, he will always be needed. All he has to do is wait.]
No, you don't have to apologize. You're right! [He beams at the other man with the full strength of his conviction, which is quite possibly strong enough to level mountainst.] It's easy to feel lost so far away from home, and it makes you think all kind of terrible things, but... we are what we are, right? And until we are wielded again, we can still stay true to what they would have wanted from us.
[His expression softens somewhat in melancholy.] I suppose it's just that I miss him- that is to say, I miss all of them.
no subject
And neither would Saitou's Shinsengumi be extremely surprised. More than one person has called him Hijikata's shadow, and there was alos Saitou getting sent on a secret mission only three other people knew about...the commitment to Hijikata is strong with these twoThere is a satisfaction in being a sword, of always having a purpose to service. Come what may, whatever life dished out, whatever enemies there are, for the sake of something higher--no sacrifice is too great, short of dying.
It still feels surreal, that he can speak to someone who bears the same name as one of his fellow captains, and yet looks different, acts different...but is somehow relatable to. Odd how life works, doesn't it. ]
I cannot deny what I am, not. [ Tomorrow, he'll have to wake up and remember all over again he has...well, no orders. No duties. ] Although I may be in a better position because there are those I know and have already run into.... [ His voice trails off. Really, he hadn't intended to speak all that much about this topic, much less himself. Maybe there's a grasp for familiarity, to cling on to what reminds him of home.
He exhales slowly. ] You said you have met the others? If so, I would not mind hearing the differences between our worlds. [ And yes, that's a redirection of conversation, lest they dwell too long on the lack of certain members. ]
no subject
The difference being that Saitou wouldn't feel free to barge into Hijikata's room at any time, wouldn't take it upon himself to prod the man out of bed in the morning while calling him "darling", wouldn't steal his poetry, and most likely wouldn't drag Hijikata around a candy store by his hair.It really is very strange, because while he's always been good friends with Hajime at home, it's quite different to meet someone who is so much like himself in this aspect. He seems a lot more serious in general, a lot stricter in a lot of ways probably, but the way they seem to view their dedication is nonetheless amazingly similar. It's... nice. But it's also rather private, so he understands if Saitou feels like not dwelling too deeply or too long on it.
He laughs, wrinkling his nose a bit.]
Well, Nagakura-san is tall, that's pretty strange. [Priorities!] and he's also a lot louder than the man I know. But your Harada-san seems a bit quieter, so maybe that balances it out. And Toudou-san is... he acts younger than the Heisuke-san I know, and less flirtatious. [He tilts his head with another little laugh.] And you're shorter. Ah, and you don't have any kind of spiritual power, do you? You don't see spirits and ghosts, that sort of thing?
no subject
...no, no, he wouldn't. The most he has ever done was argue, briefly over a cup of tea and wow why didn't Hijikata see his point of you. As for haiku...that had been Souji's fault. But he likes the haiku!In truth, that's how it goes for Saitou. They joke about him being Hijikata's shadow, but they do respect him for his views. Saitou has always known his Souji gets it, a little, being that Souji would do anything for Kondou, but...dedication comes in different forms.
For now, he leaves those thoughts. ] How much taller is...my other self? [ Gods, this is a little strange. ] No, I do not count myself skilled in that sort of thing. [ Though it would be useful, wouldn't it. ]
no subject
Souji loves the haiku. He's very well aware that it is incredibly bad, but that's okay, because he loves it anyway. It's so sweet, and somehow even more endearing in how terrible it is.It'll be a strange experience, really, to find that they have both sort of lived their lives as Hijikata's shadow, albeit in very different ways. Right now, Souji simply has a deeply founded respect for the other man already.]
Uhmmmm... he's about this tall. [Souji opts for showing with his hands, and... yes, that is most definitely like a head taller. Sorry, Saitou.] And our Shinpachi is about this short. It's pretty weird. [He tilts his head slightly.] But the other thing is a bit stranger. We're all used to Hajime-san being able to see the kind of things that other people can't - even the future, though I don't think that is always a very nice gift to have. So perhaps it's just as well for you.
no subject
"even if only one plum blossom bloomed, plum blossoms are plum blossoms." All Saitou wanted to know was the meaning of that...he still doesn't understand why one question made Hijikata-san so uncomfortable. Fukuchou your haiku is fine...Saitou actually writes to picture this. And Shinpachi.
...somehow, it's not quite working.
But the part about being able to see things, and foretelling the future? If he had this...would things have changed? ] I may not have such an ability, but I know all gifts come with a price.
no subject
Don't ask Souji about it. His only known interpretation of Hijikata's poetry is something along the lines of, "It's all full of of love, oooh, I'm getting embarrassed", which is... pretty dreadful, honestly. He's trash.It might have been easier if Souji had also mentioned that Shinpachi isn't actually as muscled either. Otherwise he'd have to quite possibly be as broad as he's thick and sort of... square.
But oh, that is a very sobering thing to think about, and Souji sighs, nodding.] He says he refuses to give fortunes to people, because you can't change what is to come. All he can do is see what will happen. I don't think he wants anyone to have to pay that price apart from him. [And it's true that Souji might have pestered him about it when he was young and silly, and now he feels incredibly bad about it. What had Saitou seen, what had he known, even then? It's a terrible thought.]
no subject
they make such a terrible pair when it comes to haikuSadly, that's what did sort of come to mind. A tiny version of Shinpachi, complete with muscles.
Oh the images. ]
Nothing can be changed or prevented? [ Then...that went for certain events, if their timelines are similar. That's disheartening in some ways, to think about it. Knowing the fates of people and seeing it play out. ] However, I can understand that. [ Of refusing to share it with people. Gifts made people bear lonely burdens, as well. ]
