So, this is a "computer." I think I've mastered its basic functions, but its purpose is for the most part beyond me. I'm sure it'll prove to be a very useful, if not unusual resource. Nevermind that there are more pressing matters at hand.

All I've gathered about this city thus far has been through word of mouth, thanks to its other inhabitants, so I see no need to recount it. All the same, I can't help but feel like there is something more to this "Babylon." That information is being withheld like this is... unsettling, to say the least.

Well, information does not just make itself known. I'll revisit this at a later date; in the meantime, I should make myself useful.

H-hey, I don't need a collection of mind blown people now.

Ah, my apologies!

So you're not from the age of technology either, I take it?

[reversebladed.livejournal.com]

You are correct! I am from Japan, during the Meiji Restoration.

Meiji Restoration?

That's... quite some time ago.

I seem to be in the minority here. Most people I have talked to come from much later.

Man, I wish I'd have met you sooner. I bet you could have helped me with my history homework.

By the way, what's your name exactly?

[reversebladed.livejournal.com]

I doubt I would be much help for anything beyond Meiji politics, but that much, at least, I know well!

My name is Himura Kenshin. It is a pleasure to meet you.

You'd be surprised at the weird questions that teachers ask.

Himura... I can't say that I've heard of you but it's really nice to meet you too. I'm Tomochika Kenji.
