So, what's the state of Japan these days?

That would depend entirely on what date you mean by "these days."

Re: [anonymous and disguised]

2006's what I mean. Don't know how you'd think any time else.

This place can play with one's head. Speak to someone off the board to find out why. The nurses don't like us discussing our "delusions" with too much detail on here.

[oneman-onekill.livejournal.com]

[several pen marks from where it's been tapped] Oh, okay. I got you.

And I'm guessing your final answer's "I don't know".

[anonymous and disguised]

[notachick.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately. My delusions are from almost 150 years before that.

You're new here, hm?

[oneman-onekill.livejournal.com]

Oh, Bakumatsu, huh?

Aye, I woke up about an hour or so ago.

Oh, you know of it? Such a nasty time, don't you think?

Welcome to the Institute then.

[oneman-onekill.livejournal.com]

Yeah, history class. It sounded nasty, but, depending on how you look at it, you could say something good came out of it.

Thanks, Delusions-san.

So you're from Japan of 2006, hm? I wonder what sorts of things you learned about that time when you were in class. I'm from a bit after it.

Oh, of course. It's only polite to welcome all the new people, right? I hope you'll be able to find someone to explain this place before night comes. The nightmares here are terrible your first night.

[oneman-onekill.livejournal.com]

Mm...I only remember the general stuff about it, like how Japan transitioned out of a shogunate as a result and all the politicking leading up to it. I don't really pay attention in class.

I'll keep that in mind.

[anonymous and disguised]

[notachick.livejournal.com]

All the politicking? Like with Sakamoto Ryoma and his kin?

Yes, do be careful. Nightmares are awful.

[oneman-onekill.livejournal.com]

Aye, and all the anti-Western movements too.

[anonymous and disguised]

[notachick.livejournal.com]

Oh, right, them. How many were there again?

Re: [anonymous and disguised]

[oneman-onekill.livejournal.com]

Sonnō jōi's the only one I really remember...

[anonymous and disguised]

[notachick.livejournal.com]

Yes, they're responsible for the new government, aren't they?

Re: [anonymous and disguised]

[oneman-onekill.livejournal.com]

Who now?

[anonymous and disguised]

[notachick.livejournal.com]

The men of the revolution - the Sonno Joi and their lot.

[winged_moon]

Wait, really? You're from then?

[anonymous and disguised]

[notachick.livejournal.com]

Around then, yes.

[winged_moon]

Wow, that's amazing!

Is it...strange to have people tell you that they learned about your time period in history class?

[anonymous and disguised]

[notachick.livejournal.com]

Only a little. Actually, I like hearing what people in the future have learned and comparing it to what I've learned from those who lived through it. It's rather exciting to see if there's any differences.

Sort of cranky.

Re: Unsigned

[oneman-onekill.livejournal.com]

Any reason why?

[composers-proxy.livejournal.com]

Depends on where you go. Shibuya's as noisy as ever.

[stalksperverts.livejournal.com]

Nothing's changed, so far as I'm aware. Should it have?
