I know this may seem like such a trite and of little worthy regard given all that has happened over the last several weeks, but truly, I am a fool who has allowed their thoughts to be consumed with but one thing when I should be focused on my service here. Forgive this, and my fool's heart, but I feel as if I can no longer simply let this fester in my mind.




What does it mean if the very idea of love brings naught but profound pain? The sort that makes your chest ache tremendously, and your mind to burn as if buried in embers. When the very idea of it inspires tears, and no happiness can be found?

I can find none who know this pain. Am I damaged in some way? Is my mind and heart corrupted by a sort of blight we know not of?

[ The video starts with the relaxing and refreshing (oh how refreshing it is) view of the evening Hawaiian beach. A moment after Caster comes into the picture- clad in gaudy Hawaiian shirt, hair let loose like usual. There might be a glimpse of few beer cans around, well- vacations right? ]

Yo! Nothing like vacations to finally bring an issue up, eh? See- it seems that there’s been plenty of “mistaken identity” cases recently. Once, twice it might happen, but any more times and some people might find it annoying.

[ That’s where Caster drags into picture Berserker. And since he is also clad in a Hawaiian shirt (as opposed to usual spiky armor), with his mullet let loose, the resemblance between the two is now incredibly more uncanny. Of course few “spot the difference” make it easier to tell them apart. Berserker’s red face tattoos for one. Caster’s hair appears to be a shade lighter. Not to mention Berserker seems to be kind of bulkier build. Still, they could be twins. ]

See, my fellow here, Berserker, he finds it very annoying. [ Emphasis on "very" ]

Just to remember: He’s not exactly me. I’m not exactly him! It’s really rude to mix people up. [ Caster is too amused to sound like he’s truly chastising anyone. ]

Rude and foolish. [ Berserker crosses his arms over his chest. Even in his ridiculous shirt, he’s still surly as ever. ] Now you’ve seen us together, you can stop confusing us.

[ His lip curls back to show sharp teeth, a strange smile. ]

We’re not twins...I’m feeling generous today. Ask us anything, just say which one you’re asking.

[ Nothing like volunteering someone for questioning! ]

[The recording starts with extreme close up of a piece of wood. Iskandar's voice comes from a slight distance a bit muffled.]

Did it start? Should I put it like this? No? Why should I turn it around? Switch to front camera? What's a front camera? Oh, right! Oh right, I'll turn it around.

[The camera image shakes for a moment but when it finally stops it shows Iskandar sitting on a low ladder the type you usually find in libraries. There is a glimpse of Satya covering her face with both hands. The gesture is not unknown to any technically savvy person who ever tried to explain technology to an earnest relative with said relative having no idea how it works but insisting they know what they're doing - He's Lord of Asia! King of Conquerors! He knows what he's doing! - and failing miserably at it. But he's learning! Give him an hour! If he only had the patience to actually use that hour to learn before trying to use it. Hint: he doesn't.]

Greetings! For those few who don't know me yet I am Iskandar. It has come to my attention that the modern times have great selection of literature.

[You people have no idea how infinitesimally blessed you are! You should be forever grateful to the gods! That's roughly what his expressions says right now.]

Yet it is unfortunate that some of it is, mildly speaking, left wanting. That is why I am addressing all that would heed my call. What books would you recommend? For I greatly desire to read something worthy of my time.

Furthermore, if someone felt in mood of discussing great works of literature with me or even better a group I'm more than happy to organise the, how they call it? Ah, a book club! Should anyone be interested they may contact me here or leave a message at my temple.

[That's where recording ends.]

From: Vesta
Date: December 24

[Being an old-timey Japanese person, Ayumu's unfamiliar with Christmas Eve or Christmas traditions. What she is acquainted with is New Year's and it's coming up very soon. Since her return from the dead, Ayumu's been too busy recovering from her ordeal and its fallout this month to really announce herself.

Between returning to the Shinsengumi and getting affairs in order at her own temple, Ayumu simply hasn't had the time or energy to dedicate to making all the social calls she'd like. There's something she's been thinking about doing, however, and Ayumu's running out of time to do it.

So here is a video of a very solemn and subdued looking Ayumu Yamazaki in a plum-blossom patterned kimono with her hair done up in a sleek bun. The eyepatch over her left eye is absent today, revealing the facial scarring marring her brow and the drooping lid in stark clarity. Her posture is straighter than it's been in quite some time. She appears to be seated at a kitchen table, her hands clasped neatly in front of her.

After a moment, Ayumu begins to speak quietly and evenly in the Kyoto accent she hasn't used since her first time here as a goddess.]


Hello. My name is Ayumu Yamazaki. I'm also known as Vesta and have gone by Lady Yumi on this shore in the past. I'm aware that many of you do not know me. Many of those that do are not aware that prior to my life here as a shinki, I was once a goddess. It's because of those who were once here but have long since passed on or vanished that I am speaking now.

[Ayumu bows her head briefly in a moment of silence before lifting it once more.]

On New Year's Eve, I'll be holding a candlelit vigil at my temple to honor and bid a proper farewell to those who've left us, whether it be through choice, death, or unknown forces. A new year awaits us all, one that may prove to be full of better prospects but I believe that in order to greet it fully with open arms, we must first let go of what binds us in the past. If anyone would like to do the same, you are all welcome to join me at my temple.

[Ayumu includes directions to her temple in the western district. When she's done, she bows deeply to the camera then straightens up. Just before the video cuts out, there's the sound of a very demanding meow coming from off-screen.]

You know, sometimes I wish I could remember more about my life before coming here.

[A brief pause, and then he urgently waves his hands at the camera in a dismissive fashion.]

Aaaa, don't worry, it's not like I'm going to try to think too hard about it or anything! I know it's wrong.

[Also dangerous, he knows that too. But the "wrong" takes priority for him in particular.]

But it's just... [He pauses as a small and grumpy-looking pig scrabbles into his lap, scratching its ears distractedly.]

I have a lot of wonderful memories of these place, and I love being a shinki. But sometimes it feels like there is so much I don't know and need to make up for, you know? It's a bit daunting.

[He smiles widely.] So, that said... what are some of your best memories? Let's share them! Of both this place and home, depending on what you remember. It doesn't have to be very complicated, just something that makes you feel nice!

(The video starts with Sakura looking at the screen and then immediately looking away. Her face begins to turn a shade of pink and she whispers something to herself before taking a breath and looking back up, as determined as she can bring herself to look. She's absolutely nervous and everything about her demeanor shouts it but she tries to push through it,)

Pardon me, b-but I was wondering if someone would help me...

But first... ( She gives a small and quick bow, ) My name is Sakura, Princess of Hoshido and a g-goddess of life here in heaven but please, just Sakura will be fine. It's nice to meet you!

( How was that? Too formal? She doesn't know how to introduce herself any other way, though, ugh. At least that's over and done with. )

You see, I'm really shy so I was hoping to overcome this by t-talking to as many people as I could! Back home, I practiced by talking to the m-most intimidating person I could think of but... I think I'm a little out of practice now!

(At some point, she remembers to breathe. Finished with what she has to say, she wonders how she should end this. It feels so sudden and almost rude to just cut off the video but the more time she takes, the more awkward this becomes. Nervously, she bows her head quickly,)

Th-thank you for your time!

( And the feed cuts so she can shriek and stress and feel regret about her decision off camera. )

From: Archer
Date: October 4th late afternoon

[For those familiar with him, Archer's expression is completely blank. There's no frown, or typical sarcastic smirk. When he speaks, his voice is calm and rather detached with underlying coldness.]

Caster is gone.

His temple and the names he bestowed are still here, so he's going to be back. Be aware that he's not going to remember any of you, or anything that happened during his stay here. If my research is wrong feel free to correct me, but that's based on the knowledge I gathered so far.

[Here he pauses slightly and his eyes flicker off-screen.]

I'm still trying to piece together what happened, if anyone comes forward to shed some light on the events that transpired, you will have my gratitude.

[Archer narrows his eyes, for the first time his expression changes slightly.]

If you want to punch him for being an idiot you have to get in line.

Sorry for the early message.

Has anyone seen Mister Caster? Archer and myself haven't seen him since he ran off yesterday.

Who: Chikusa Kakimoto
When: October 2


-----

[For a good long while, Chikusa honestly doesn't realize that something wrong is necessarily happening. He's already been having difficulty with his memories and emotions starting yesterday, when he recalled Ken's..... everything. Adding in whatever nonsense is coming through the tears, and he's even more of a mess.]

[But when he does snap out of it, and sees the tears which have become scattered across the Far Shore... He immediately gets out his phone.]


I recognize what these distortions are. [And in case anyone has somehow missed them, don't worry- Chikusa is diverting the phone for a second to show one off. He is keeping his distance.] Someone named Add is responsible. He's the only one with the skillset to mess with time and space.

[He's actually guessing on this part, but he's pretty sure he's also completely right. Chikusa is kind of pissed, and it might actually be coming through his low quiet voice, for once.]

If you haven't met him.... He's 180 centimeters tall, light build, near white hair, pink eyes, a tattoo on the left side of his face.

He's attacked me before... and almost killed someone. He's clearly out of control.... and needs to be gotten rid of permanently.

[If there's anything else Chikusa could add to this little PSA, he doesn't get a chance. There's a revolting sound, and he swears under his breath in Italian. The camera jerks sharply, catching just the briefest blur of a corrupted Noise Ayakashi... and then the video goes out.]

Emotions are the worst. Can we make them stop?



[Last night was horrible. The Heaven's are horrible. Chikusa doesn't regret trying to kill Add, because he was always going to do that, but he probably shouldn't have gone after Fushimi.]

[It seems like that's all that's going to happen, but then, an hour later....]

So this is just a hypothetical question (really, I swear on my shinki status) but what if a shinki gets named by someone they don't want to be named by, or if they change their mind later and the god doesn't want to let them go, do we have to go talk to some higher up god or can we just murder the god in question and get rid of the name we want to be rid of that way?

Do you think swords are boring? Someone told me that. I don't think its true. ( He sounds a little annoyed too but not too much. It's more like a kid whining than anything else. ) You know, there are a lot of different kinds of swords and that's really interesting!

For example, I use a wakizashi. It's short so it can't reach very far but that means I can move a lot easier in small places. I have to work harder to get close to my opponent but if I can do it and their weapon is too big, they won't be able to hit me very well. I think it's fun to see how close I can get.

I've also seen a sword that was a thousand years old! I think it was magic too but I don't know. Isn't that cool? There are a lot of different types of swords and even more styles so it's fun to learn about them.

( There's a bit of silence. He's thinking about what he just said. It's really cool, right? And not boring at all? )

Hey! Does anyone want to practice with me? It'll be fun. I'm pretty sharp, heh heh heh~

( And quietly, at the very end, there's a mutter, )

It'll be more fun than practicing math... ... Aaaah! I didn't mean to say that...!
