[I hope you all made sure to apply your makeup properly today because if not, there is a samurai running around and redoing makeup. Perhaps you were just minding your own business but

[Masamune isn't wearing makeup (bah, who needs those). However, he hasn't exactly readied himself for a cosmetic evaluation, either, so his hair has been untouched for the day. And kind of unruly, as it can sometimes get towards the ends, but presentable overall. From his perspective.

-- who is that strange masked figure. He can't help but stare, his one eye narrowing slightly.]

Hm . . . ?

[aphorise]

[Masamune doesn't miss a beat. He responds as soon as the guy finishes. He doesn't answer the question, yet.]

If you think it's stupid, then take it off.

[suckmylipstick]

[He looks away, at his supplies on the bench. His answer is also immediate.]

No. I can't do that.

[aphorise]

Then don't. But don't expect me to even consider your demands while you keep that on.

[He turns, ready to leave if he must.]

The only one judging himself here is you.

[suckmylipstick]

[IT IS OFFICIAL. HE HATES ALL MASAMUNES.]

How dare you... Lecturing me as if you know everything! You would't understand it!

[aphorise]

[WHOSE FAULT IS THAT. WHOSE.

The guy's right. He wouldn't understand because they're two different individuals. But here he poses a question in retaliation:]

Am I wrong?

[suckmylipstick]

[MASAMUNE'S.]

I'm not the only one affected by my actions. For that reason, this mask...

[aphorise]

[Which one -- NO. HAJIME'S.]

So it's like that, huh?

[Having to hide his face for such a reason. It bothers Masamune.]

You're not getting anywhere with that attitude.

[suckmylipstick]

[BOTH MASAMUNES.]

No matter what, I can't reveal my face. That won't change.

[aphorise]

[WHAT A LIE.]

[ . . . Tch.]

There's nothing to reveal. That mask is your face.

[suckmylipstick]

[THE ONLY LIES HERE ARE YOURS.]

I'd tell you my name but that would be meaningless now, wouldn't it?

[aphorise]

[THAT'S JUST YOU BEING SENSITIVE AND STUBBORN.]

Don't treat the significance of names so lightly.

[Said in a considerably lighter tone than his previous words, since this is him referring to his usual school of thought rather than irritation.]

You. What's your name?

[suckmylipstick]

[I CAN'T HELP THAT I HAVE THE HEART OF A MAIDEN ON THE INSIDE.]

It's Ginnezu.

[That guy said this mask was his face, right? He also believed that as long as this was his face, that was his name.]

[aphorise]

[THEN ACT LIKE A MAIDEN AND BEHAVE.]

Ginnezu, huh?

[Little does he know that that's . . . not the guy's actual name, but he'll take it. Given how secretive this one has been, it wouldn't be surprising if it is just an alias. However, a name's a name.

Ginnezu. Dressed the way he is with the obligation to conceal himself for the sake of others -- how self-sacrificial.]

Hah. That suits you.

[suckmylipstick]

[ON THE INSIDE, DUDE.]

What do you mean? [Defensive!!]

[aphorise]

[THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.]

I'm leaving that for you to figure out.

[He won't just tell. Nothing in the world is that easy.]
