54th Journey [Voice Post]

[reginagloriae]

Just how many natural redheads Japanese people are in the City? Funny would be if half of them turned out to be like me. I was regarded as a freak and mistaken by swank who dyes to go out at night because my hair was just a little red. C'mon! My English teacher was such a pain. If she knew it was so easy to have a multicolored hair while living in

If people only wouldn't be so judgemental half the time, I think the world might be a much nicer place.

... I am hoping that your friend is all right, Nakajima-san.

[Voice]

[reginagloriae]

I agree hundred percent with you. I don't care what they think about my hair. I refuse to dye it or to cut it short because they expect me to. It stinks for them, I like my hair being red.

So. Huh. I'm coming home for a quick shower. I want to show you where I work, I'm going to arrive early. We can have dinner there. It's a nice piano bar club called The Lux.

Did you burn anything? I hope the technology and you didn't become enemies in my absence.

[Voice]

[revengeisalie]

Don't you get in trouble for it? I... really don't know how people in my place and time would have reacted to red hair. I know a woman who is blonde, and she's really a strong person, but she wears a wig in public.

Oh... well, thank you! I'd like to see it.

I think I've managed so far. Did I tell you I've acquired a job?

[Voice]

[reginagloriae]

I haven't returned to my home yet, Rin-san. I don't know what's going to happen when I do, but I've decided what I want. My hair looks less... eye catching in Tokyo.

Just avoid the oven or anything with gas. No! Tell me. Where?

[Voice]

[revengeisalie]

... I see. Tōkyō? That's not a place I've heard of.

Alright. I'll need the oven if I want to cook something, though, won't I? This house doesn't have a fireplace.

At the estate of... Earl Ciel Phantomhive. That was his name.

[Voice]

[reginagloriae]

Right. Edo? That was its old name.

I'm going to teach you soon. But is dangerous to open the gas if you don't know.

Woah... That's a mouthful.

[Voice]

[revengeisalie]

Now I see! Makimachi-san mentioned that it wasn't called Edo anymore in her time. ... May I ask what year you're from?

... oookay, I won't touch it on my own.

I know. I don't even know if my pronunciation is right. It sounds so foreign - well, it is.

[Voice]

[reginagloriae]

It was 2000 when I... was abducted was there last time.

It's English. Must be American or British. Bet is the latter because Americans don't have nobility. But "Ciel" sounds... French?

[Voice]

[revengeisalie]

Two-thousand? ... I guess you must use a different calendar. ... abducted?

I have no idea about anything of that. Where I'm from, things like leaving the country or Christianity are forbidden by death penalty.

[Voice]

[reginagloriae]

Must be. We're using the Western one nowadays. Solar years and all. Loooooooong story.

...That far back?

[Voice]

[revengeisalie]

Oh, wow! There must've been a lot going on in the meantime...

The fourth year of Kansei.

(OOC: ... a.k.a. 1792.)

[Voice]

[reginagloriae]

Kansei... was after Tenmei and before Kyouwa, so that means it began in 1789 and ended in 1801.

...

Woah you're from 1792.

[Voice]

[revengeisalie]

Uhh, well. I wouldn't know. I'll just take your word on it.

What calendar do people usually go by, here?

[Voice]

[reginagloriae]

Solar year. Christian calendar, "after Christ."

[Voice]

[revengeisalie]

Oh! So I guess the knowledge might come in handy.

Christianity must be really important if their calendar is even used here.

[Voice]

[reginagloriae]

...One of the world's biggest religions, but I'm not really sure why it was chosen that way. Maybe to make thing easier home because the world is more connected with communication and economy.

I have no clue what the City's "2008" stands for.
