[This... was not where he expected to be. That's apparent by the look on his face, which is both confused and cautious. He reaches for something at his side, only to find it missing and a strange book tucked into his hakama-himo where it should have been.

This appears to anger him slightly. He looks suspiciously at his surroundings and whispers to no one in particular.]

...Has he managed to fool us once again?

[Finding no answer or immediate danger in his surroundings, he flips open the book, looking for clues.]

What is this?

Comments

okis! :3

[lifeandpride]

I... yes, I think so.

[As okay as one can be on your first day. He pauses, still unsure of how verbal communication with the book worked.]

Is something I can help you with?

[payback]

[She takes a moment to page through the rest of the responses to his entry.

... Abel's there, huh? Abel would definitely know him. So he must have got oriented to at least some degree. But it definitely does not seem like he remembers being here before. Ouch moment. But it couldn't be expected to be failsafe anyway, could it? That everyone should start remembering...]

... I don't think so, but maybe I can help you. Did everything get explained to you?

[lifeandpride]

[A small sigh.]

Most of it, I think. I'm looking for my room now.

[payback]

Oh. [At a bit of a loss.] Ah, well... yeah, if you don't arrive in your room, that's always a search I think.

My name's Rin. If you have any questions, about the castle or anything, I've been here a while so I can probably help you out.

[lifeandpride]

Thank you Rin, I do appreciate it.

[a pause]

...Oh, I'm sorry! I'm Ukitake Juushirou. I'm pleased to meet your voice!

[payback]

Aha, don't worry...

[It never gets less awkward to say "I know who you are" to people, so she doesn't. She just rolls with it.]

Nice to meet you too. I'll probably see you around - oh, did anyone teach you how to filter?

[lifeandpride]

Ah, yes. At least when it's written. I'm not sure if that can be done while speaking...

[payback]

You can make it work. If you say like, "filtered to so-and-so" or something. The journal's pretty flexible...

[lifeandpride]

Well that doesn't sound hard at all. Would you mind if I tried it out?

[payback]

No. Feel free.

Filtered to Rin; dictated;

[lifeandpride]

Er... hello again! Well, I suppose I won't be able to see if someone else besides you can hear me...

Ukitake;

[payback]

The filters have never failed as far as I know? Only I can hear you now. Hello again.

Rin;

[lifeandpride]

I guess I'll assume it works until I hear otherwise. Thank you for showing me, it could be useful.

Ukitake;

[payback]

No problem... anyway, good luck settling in.
