[rare video post]

[It's not everyday that the community manages to get some video from Kenshin's world, so you're treated to the wanderer strolling through Meiji-era Tokyo, overall looking fairly happy...

...And that's when he sees something planted in the ground.]

Oro?

[He walks closer and finds a branch of white plum blossoms tied to a blade, and suddenly his expression looks depressed.]

Is something wrong?

[x_battousai]

[That's not normal, and he looks up.]

Oro?

[lil_tanuki]

Hi! Is that gift you received important?

[Waving from where she's broadcasting from.]

[x_battousai]

Oro?!

[Give him a minute.]

[lil_tanuki]

Hi! [Just smile and wave at the funny looking man.]

[x_battousai]

[Well, it's a little girl's voice, and as soon as he figures out just where this is coming from, he smiles and waves back.]

Hello. Is this from the community?

[lil_tanuki]

Uh huh! You're being shown visually on the community. I'm Hayate.

[x_battousai]

Like photographs? Except moving.

I am Kenshin. It is nice to meet you.

[lil_tanuki]

That's right. It's the best description.

Likewise! So did you get something okay?

[x_battousai]

Oh, it is a memento of someone who had died.

[lil_tanuki]

Oh I'm sorry to hear that. Was it a good or bad memory?

[x_battousai]

It was sad, but not completely so. Much as the memory hurts, there is something good in it.

[lil_tanuki]

That's good then. At least you have good memories with the sad ones.

[x_battousai]

It is rare when that happens, so I try to remember that.

[lil_tanuki]

That's good.

Are you from Japan? You look Japanese but old-timey.

[x_battousai]

That I am. I am from the year 1878, the 11th year of the Meiji Era.

[lil_tanuki]

Wow that was a long time ago. It's 2005 where I'm from.

[x_battousai]

It seems many people are from eras far beyond mine.

[lil_tanuki]

Well you're certainly the first one that I've met that is from a different era that's far away.

[x_battousai]

Is everyone from the community from as far in the future as you?

[lil_tanuki]

Not everyone, and there's some people who are further ahead than I am!

[x_battousai]

That is very interesting. Have you been able to see their times?

[lil_tanuki]

A few of them. Most of them about five or six years later than I've been to.

[x_battousai]

How is that some people are able to visit these different eras?

[lil_tanuki]

Well some people's worldhops can go between both worlds, but times as well. I've known of a couple that send you wherever you need to go.
