_{[ he doesn't know who else to contact about the strange message he received, but out of all the faces he met in ViVid, Kenshin's seemed the most trustworthy. He needed to confide with somebody. Katsura was a bit of a co-dependent when it came to having a conversation. This might be why he sometimes had conversations with inanimate objects or gave them other unique voices.
And so, he's here to consult right after this incident. ]}

K-Kenshin-dono! _{Ah, it's Katsura, if you forgot.}
Did you receive a message too?

[...If Kenshin forgot. He's not that old!]

Ah, mail, was it? This one did receive a message, yes.

W..What did the message entail?
_{[ He seems to be a bit flustered still; nothing out of the ordinary considering Kenshin was with him during the whole Pakkuman situation. ]}

A ridiculous request from a friend. Though he is not here, so this one is unsure of the validity of the message in the first place.

[Though considering Kenshin's best friend is Sano, the message contents weren't...too hard to believe and yet it still felt a bit off somehow.]

Are they real, you think?
_{[ Zura's voice is solemn at this point. ]}

This one isn't sure. This technology is beyond him.

[But he pauses, because it's clear that Katsura is troubled by whatever he saw, so he needs to take this seriously.]

If this one may, was the message Katsura-dono received strange in any way? Did it feel...off, somehow?

_{[ LIP WIBBLE.... ]}

E-ELIZABETH BELIEVES THAT I DO NOT LOVE HIM ANYMORE!
I'm not sure. Did they spread rumors? Are they pretending to be Elizabeth? It's cruelty! Elizabeth and I have been straying down a rough path lately. Did they know that?!

Oro...

[His eyes widen a little bit at the sudden yelling. That is quite intense.]

Elizabeth is not here, is...ah...he? This one is of a mind that if those who sent us messages are not actually here, then the messages are not real. Though where they came from and why they are so wrong is still a mystery at this time.

[This is mostly conjecture and while Kenshin's gut is pretty trustworthy, finding oneself in this place with all this technology that can do seemingly anything is pretty overwhelming.

However-!]

But if they were here, why wouldn't they contact us in the same way that Katsura-dono contacted this one just now? The format is all wrong for them.

Meddling with personal relationships— it's just like Summer Sonata*!
Are they trying to make a soap opera out of this?
_{[ BECAUSE HE'S FEELING IT RIGHT ABOUT NOW. ]}

Katsura-dono...

[Are you even listening to him...]

Why didn't they bring him with us?! Ah, if they're so particular they chose some of these people poorly— Elizabeth was perfect samurai potential! I now know he would do anything to protect Earth so certainly he would do his best to revive it!

_{[ oh lord.. ]}

[...Goodness.]

While this one is sure Katsura-dono is right, we cannot pretend to know what these people are thinking when they choose who to bring and who to leave behind. But Katsura-dono has every right to be upset, though this one also hopes he will gather the strength to keep moving forward afterward.

_{[ disgusting sniffling noises, snot flying everywhere, etcccc. ]}

K-Kenshin-dono...

_{[ LIP WIBBLE... ]}

I.. I will gather my strength. There is a time to grieve, though.
_{[ this gets him thinking about everyone else. Where were they at? People keep showing up every two weeks and it's confusing. ]}

Though, I would have liked to play our final round of UNO before any of this happened.
_{[ aw, he hangs his head.. ]}

[Kenshin has seen worse, buddy, you're in the clear.]

Of course. Every person copes differently.

[Although, now his curiosity is piqued.]

Ah, but if this one may ask, and if Katsura-dono is comfortable with answering, what is UNO?

_{[ The question could be loaded answer, really. ]}

UNO is...
_{[ keep it simple: ]}

—A sign of friendship.

[Kenshin bows his head a little bit.]

That sounds nice.

_{[ A moment of silence, and then: ]}

I should show you it sometime.

[...Oh. Does this mean Katsura considers him a friend? Which is kind of strange because he still can't quite disconnect this Katsura from the one Kenshin knew all those years ago in Kyoto, and he never would have considered them friends. Just comrades in the struggle.

But this is different. And it's touching, even if a part of Kenshin is screaming at him to not get attached to more people - as it always does, deep down - so as not to put them in danger due to his very presence.

All the same, he smiles, and though it's a small one, it's genuine.]

...This one would like that.

_{[ ?????
god, how does he go about this anyway. He doesn't invite people over to "hang out" with him. More like— he breaks into their houses and forces his presence onto them for one petty reason or another; usually to take refuge from the police.

Anyway, there is some awkward staring, then he looks off to the side, almost like he's shy. ]}

Anytime you would be willing to learn, I'll gladly show.

Had an x-ray done today. Guess what they found? It was you, safely tucked away in my heart! They said my heart is fine with a friend like you in it. Send this to all the people you love and care for, if you get 5 back no one will break your heart. Xx

[ A message pops up in your inbox from an anonymous source. How strange! If you don't delete it immediately, you'll be greeted with an audio message that's quiet, at first. In fact, it's quiet enough that just in time for you to turn it up, it starts to speak. It sounds suspiciously like Xerxes Break if you know him, but at the same time, there's a totally stupid voice being used, since it's not like Break would send this message along. Emily, though? Of course. She's such a gossip. ]

Send this to all the people you love and care for, because if you don't, then something preeeetty bad might happen to them! Heart failure is pretty serious~! Kehehehehehe!!!

(( ooc note ; break is sending this to literally everyone in the game, so I'm sorry... Feel free to figure out he caused it, since it's not like he's trying that hard to hide it. ))
