Does the word 'Shinsengumi' mean anything to anyone?
[OOC: 'Shinsengumi' = 'newly selected corps', more or less. Actual historical group so knowing doesn't fourth-wall him]

No, only the boy. And...there was someone else's name, but I missed it, I think. The person who wrote the code.

If the tree doesn't want you to remember something, it simply won't let you hear it, or see it. He has heard a few names in his memories, but can't offer any insight as to who may have written the laws. The mention of a boy brings a vague sense of familiarity though, and it takes him a moment to place it. Not from a memory; from his birth dream.]
I heard a boy once, although I didn't see him. He was... very loud. And upset. [Rain frowns.]

The boy in mine was upset, too. Angry.

Date: 2010-12-11 10:04 pm (UTC)From:It was Hijikata.

Date: 2010-12-12 07:49 am (UTC)From:[If Rain had needed any more confirmation, there it was. They both knew this Hijikata, and he was someone important enough to Daitou that the tree didn't want him remembering just yet. Rain turns to face the other man straight on.]
I believe we must have known each other.

no subject
Date: 2010-12-13 12:16 am (UTC)From:Next to nothing. I believe he was someone of authority. I... may have reported to him, but I can't be certain. [He pauses briefly.]
Can you tell me anything more about the boy?
no subject
Date: 2010-12-13 12:49 am (UTC)From:The boy's name was Tetsu. He was small - spiky red hair. He was upset with me for what I had done.
no subject
Date: 2010-12-13 03:40 am (UTC)From:I can't hear that name.
[So he's remembered someone important to Daitou - a name and perhaps a voice, at least - and Daitou's remembered someone important to him. And they're prevented from telling each other much. Well played, Edensphere. And why would a loud little boy be important enough that Rain can't hear his name?]
