(Homeless, looking) On playing a lead to an otome-game....

[cannotcrossdress]

Really, Mundane-san, there's no reason for you to feel guilty! There are plenty of perfectly nice people around who are willing to play along! Just smile and go with it!

It's not like I'm the only female cast member, and it's not like I'm even the most interesting! [Chizuru smiles a bit and rubs the tip of her nose with the back of her finger, chuckling nervously.] After all, there's Sen-chan, isn't there?

...though honestly, it'd be kinda nice to see her around, too...

A-and by the way...! [Blushes a bit, mildly perturbed.] Is that journal name supposed to be funny?! I tried my best, you know! Geez...

Well, [Sighs, and folds her arms into her sleeves.] I guess we should get started! We won't get anything done if we've got no where to go! Where to?

OMG how is there not a Hakuouki tag yet?!

[Totally amused at that username.]

Chizuru-chan, that username is strangely fitting. Then again, you managed to fool Heisuke and Shinpachi-san.

[cannotcrossdress]

Okita-san, not you too! [She tries to give Okita as scolding a look as possible. Grr!]

[sadistsword]

I thought it was pretty obvious that Chizuru-chan was a girl.

Though your brother does look like you and he's a boy.

[cannotcrossdress]

[Chizuru pulls her lips tight and presses them together in an attempt to supress the embarrassment rising from her chest. She casts her eyes away and forcefully sighs through her nose.]

I'm not sure what you're trying to get at, Okita-san.

[servant_dog]

My mun thought it would be funny if I get to talk to you. Something about protagonist-bonding, I don't know why I need to do that.

[A sigh.]

My username isn't much better than yours, though.

[cannotcrossdress]

[Chizuru notices, and furrows her brow in sympathy.] I'm so sorry. But at least dogs are loyal? [Nervous smile. Convinced?]

[servant_dog]

That's not really it. I'm no dog! Serizawa-san just calls me like that.

Why are you crossdressing?

[sadistsword]

It's mostly your behavior that made you stood out as girly, I suppose.

[awesomest]

It's okay, Chizuru! You totally had me fooled, so don't let anyone make you feel bad about that!

...

...

Not that you aren't bad as a girl, I mean! ...wait, no-- I mean, you're really nice as a girl too!

. . .

[cannotcrossdress]

Heisuke-kun. [Chizuru's face warms with a smile, and she brings up a hand to stifle her giggle.]

I understand what you're saying, thank you. Where are you headed?

[awesomest]

[ He beams in relief as she laughs, glad she didn't take his words the wrong way. But that's just Chizuru for you. It's so easy to relax around her. He throws his hands behind his head, giving a noncommittal shrug of his shoulders. ]

Hard to say, really. My mun over here can't decide on anything, and she's way too preoccupied with Hijikata-san to pay too much attention to me. That always seems to be happening when it comes to girls and Hijikata-san. Pffft, but don't tell him I said that.

[ He shoots Chizuru a conspiring grin, holding up a finger to his lips. ]

Any idea where you're going?

[smile_thatkills]

Nice to see you coming out of hiding, CHizuru.

[ex_engender708]

The answer to your question is obvious.

[Ditch the games and come to him, Chizuru.]

[cannotcrossdress]

[Blush, maybe a little indignantly.] S-stood out?!

[cannotcrossdress]

[Chizuru's mouth pulls down into a determined frown.] H-haha..! I'm trying to pass off as a girl so no one can tell how dangerous I am..! [She curls her right arm and places her other hand on her bicep, bunching up her sleeve with as crass a smile as she can muster.

Is he buying it?]

[cannotcrossdress]

[Chizuru's cheeks color a bit. Hijikata-san was popular with the ladies, too? She had thought that was Shinpachi-san..?]

Your mun is a fan of Hijikata-san, then...?

[She shook her head a bit, clearing her head with such thoughts. She shouldn't dwell on such things, it's unseemly.]

I...I really have no idea! [Bashful smile.] I was hoping I could get a better idea of where the rest of you are, and just follow suit. [Her voice went quiet.] Unless you think it would be a problem..?

[cannotcrossdress]

I-I wasn't hiding, Okita-san! [Chizuru blushes at the accusation. She wasn't afraid!]

[cannotcrossdress]

You!

[She's seen you before..! You can't be trusted...]

Coming from you, it's obviously the wrong one.

[awesomest]

What? No way! It'd be any guy's honor to have you join him! I wish I could be that lucky.

[ He laughs cheerfully at that, winking at her. ]

You make sure wherever you end up, that everyone treats you nice okay?

If they don't, they're gonna to have another thing coming! [ He rolls up an imaginary sleeve before jabbing a thumb in the direction of his chest. ] You let 'em all know, hear me? That if they ever make you cry, they'll have the great Toudou Heisuke to answer to!

[smile_thatkills]

It's alright to admit it. Knowing you, you're probably going somewhere unsafe?

[bigbrothering]

Hey, now, you shouldn't be putting yourself down like that.

[sup Chizuru, have some headpats.]

[thedemonhimself]

...Well, I suppose your behavior does give it away fairly easily...

[ex_engender708]

Really. I would suggest reconsidering, woman, when most of your options involve dangerous settlements. [Hmph.] If they can be called that.

[cannotcrossdress]

Heisuke-kun, you exaggerate....[Chizuru nervously smiles, trying not to appear too awkward.]

I can't make people treat me nice, you know. I just have to be as nice as possible, and hope they return the favor. Isn't that how it always goes?

[cannotcrossdress]

Gyeh--[Chizuru grimaces.] Wh-why would you say that?!
