And suddenly, the City looks familiar! It's not quite the same, but it's pretty close to home! That's... nice on the one hand, but also doubles the nostalgia. One way or the other, it's pretty amazing. I think this is the first curse that changes the whole City that I witness.

Of course, this also means doing things the old-fashioned way. Not that I really mind, but some inventions are really useful if a little weird and scary at first, if you're not used to them. Except for the network device - of course, that must be had! Not logical at all, but then, the City's never been. I ought to be used to it by now.

Almost half a year that I've been here. Time sure flies! I've known Manji for a whole year now. ... and according to the Lunar Calendar, my birthday's coming up soon.

Anyway, the real occasion is, of course, tango no sekku. The City seems to have decided on the date according to the Solar Calendar. Among everything that came together, I almost forgot, but I used the day to get some nice celebrational decoration. I got some really cute dolls at the market! Couldn't afford armor, though. Ah well, can't have everything, right? It would be silly to waste the money for one day, anyway...

... getting really nostalgic. Hah. I've got to get a grip or something.

Well! Happy tango no sekku and summer season to everyone!

Speaking of Manji! He came to his senses about two days ago. Until then, he thought I was his little sister - but that included my time in the City. So everything I did here, his little sister did in his mind. So I'd say it was more of a memory change than a loss.

What about your friend?

I'm from the fourth year of Kansei, or 1792, as I was told.

[guardianjoker]

Ah--that is definitely from the past for me too, though that isn't too weird since my roommate is from an earlier time period too.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Really? Where - erm, when are you two from, respectively?

[guardianjoker]

Ah-- I just meant my roommate, we're not from the same world. But Misao-san said she was from 1878? So I meant that you're both from time periods earlier than me.

[ooc; idek when her canon is even set, the series isn't very specific on that DX ]

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Oh, you live with Misao-san? She actually told me what my year is in the Solar Calendar.

[guardianjoker]

Mm, yeah-- I've been staying with her since I got to this place.

Oh she did?

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Yeah. ... come to think of it, she was one of the first people who greeted me when I arrived.

[guardianjoker]

She was?

It was the same for me too.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

Hah, really? Maybe she likes greeting newcomers. She's certainly very friendly.

[guardianjoker]

Mm, yeah, one of them-- I did have someone from my world here too, but she was nice enough to offer that I stay with her here.

But yeah, I guess she does like greeting new people.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

That's very nice of her, indeed!

[guardianjoker]

Yeah-- ...well kind of, it's complicated. He's staying with me over at the apartment too, but only because he isn't feeling that good.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

I see.

[guardianjoker]

Yeah...complicated. Some of the time he's okay, but we kind of don't get along most of the time.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Oh my. Then it must cost you some nerve to let him stay with you.

[guardianjoker]

Well he's not being as annoying, so it's not that bad.

[revengeisalie.livejournal.com]

Ah, good.
