I'm starting to think I should keep extra clothes around in different sizes, just in case. This is getting annoying.

Rain-san, are you free?

Date: 2011-02-22 02:23 am (UTC)From:It's the vice commander's body. [Might as well cut to the chase. Rain said nothing further just yet, letting Daitou take that in. After all, the vice commander was someone very important to him, unless their memories were seriously misleading them.]
no subject
Date: 2011-02-22 02:53 am (UTC)From:I see.
[His voice was soft, the earlier cheer gone.]

Date: 2011-02-22 03:33 am (UTC)From:[...All right, scratch his earlier thought. It was upsetting, at least if the man's body language was any indication. Rain exhaled slowly. What now? He wasn't exactly cut out for offering comfort or reassurance, and he knew it, but this silence that was beginning to stretch out as they stood there was an uncomfortable one.]
...Is the kimono acceptable?
no subject
Date: 2011-02-22 09:01 am (UTC)From:It is. Thank you.
[His expression falls a little, and he sighs.]
This place... can be very cruel.

Date: 2011-02-23 01:19 am (UTC)From:It happened roughly six months ago. Most people found themselves in other bodies for approximately a week.
[He paused, opening his eyes and once again looking at Daitou.]
Is there anything else you need?
no subject
Date: 2011-02-23 01:55 am (UTC)From:I see. And not really - I thought you might know who I looked like, you remember more of our home.
[A pause as he weighed the potential of this next indiscretion. He trusted Rain, but he doesn't know how far the man is willing to go. Finally he spoke again, voice a little harsher this time]
This, what the Tree does - it isn't right.
no subject
Date: 2011-02-23 03:30 am (UTC)From:It isn't. We're given little choice but to deal with it to the best of our abilities.
[That was a fact of life here, and it was frustrating, certainly - sometimes infuriating - but Rain usually hid his displeasure well. Raging about it could draw unwanted attention, after all.]

Date: 2011-02-23 09:20 pm (UTC)From:...I wouldn't speak of it so openly.
[That was a potentially dangerous topic, and while he found himself willing to discuss it with Daitou to some extent, it needed to be in a safer location. The Wilderness or the Scavenger's Yard; certainly not in the branches of the Tree. He motioned to the door with a slight tilt of his head, hoping the other man would catch on.]

no subject
Date: 2011-02-24 02:05 am (UTC)From:[They reached the elevator, and he asked before selecting which button to push.] Do you know what state the Wilderness is currently in?
no subject
Date: 2011-02-24 05:45 am (UTC)From:No - it's been changing so fast, and I haven't had time to talk to any of the adventurers or anything...
no subject
Date: 2011-02-25 01:51 am (UTC)From:[The elevator doors closed behind them, and Rain pushed the button for the fifth floor. As the doors opened into the Yard a minute later, he stepped out and took a quick look around. He'd only been to this floor once or twice in all his time in Edensphere, as he typically didn't have any particular reason to come here. There were a few people milling about, and Rain began to navigate his way through the debris in search of a more secluded area for them to talk.]

Date: 2011-02-26 01:00 am (UTC)From:As I understand it, this is the safest place to discuss things. [He sat down on what may have been part of a refrigerator and waited quietly for the other man to speak. Whether Daitou had something specific he wanted to discuss, or he just wanted to vent, Rain was willing to hear him out.]
no subject
Date: 2011-02-26 05:23 am (UTC)From:[There was a brief pause as Daitou contemplated the best way to approach the situation]
I've been spending a lot of time with Tian-dono lately... [He glanced over at the shinobi to see what his reaction was - what had Rain figured out on his own?]
no subject
Date: 2011-02-26 06:45 am (UTC)From:[He gave a slight nod, his expression remaining entirely neutral.]

Date: 2011-02-27 12:47 am (UTC)From:...That's easier said than done. How do you intend to do it?
no subject
Date: 2011-02-27 07:24 am (UTC)From:I don't think we've gotten that far yet. We need more information still - and more allies.
no subject
Date: 2011-02-27 10:34 am (UTC)From:I don't know Tian-dono [ - the honorific was added more for Daitou's sake than anything else - ], but you and I are already allies.
[What little they had recalled - that one radio memory, especially - had made that much apparent.]
no subject
Date: 2011-02-27 11:20 pm (UTC)From:no subject
Date: 2011-02-28 02:32 am (UTC)From:[Daitou was his ally, and the man whose body Daitou was stuck in at the moment was his master. Rain was finally sure of that much, and as far as he was concerned, having forgotten it didn't invalidate it. He was willing to help an ally... but still, he was wary. Both Daitou and Tian had been known to recklessly push the limits of what it was safe to say over the journals, after all. Rain met the other man's gaze evenly.]
My goal is to return home, alive, to my service under the vice commander. To that end, I'm willing to aid you. [Alive being the key word. Rain recalled all too clearly the lecture his sister had given him in that one memory, when she'd caught him about to kill himself.]
