Log:
[ Another normal day around here, or as normal it can get in Johto. At the very least is that it's calm and the way that Raidou likes it. With his hectic lifestyle back home, it's always nice to actually have some time in which he can just sit down and stay in his room. Having a day when he's not cleaning up after people/Pokemon, dealing with crazy weather, running around to fetch things, it's just relaxing to take a day off. ]

[ He just sits at the edge of his bed with his Teddiursa on his lap. Gotta clean these sticky paws before it decides to hug either Raidou or Shinn. As lovable and adorable it might be, Raidou rather not wash his cape or uniform for the second time today. So, he just quietly cleans his Pokemon. He doesn't seem like he's going to be talking anytime soon. ]

[ Try not to do anything stupid, Shinn. ]

Say, how long has it been since we actually talked to each other?

[...probably never.]

[lonesummoner.livejournal.com]

[ Thinks for a second before giving a shrug. That shrug can be counted as a 'never' as well. ]

Why?

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Its kinda weird traveling without not really knowing each other, I guess.

[lonesummoner.livejournal.com]

[ there's a pause here for a few seconds. ]

What do you want to know? [ Not like anything he says here will affect him back home if no one remembers. ]

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

...what your world is like would be a good place to start.

[lonesummoner.livejournal.com]

Japan, year Taisho 20. [ Which in the real world, the Taisho period has lasted 15 years, but in Raidou's place, it has lasted five more years. That means he's from 1931. ] The Capital is big and busy. Safe from most demons since they're in the Dark Realm.

[ Now here's a look towards Shinn, curious as to his world. ]

...PLANT, year Cosmic Era 74. [To Raidou, this might not mean much, but it had been 74 years ever since the new age of space exploration began after massive bloodshed due to the Reconstruction War as well as a major disease outbreak.] The military installation I'm working at currently is in a resting period after the Second Bloody Valentine War.

[Which he participated in.]

[lonesummoner.livejournal.com]

[ Raidou has no idea when Cosmic Era 74 is or what PLANT even is. He has seen many years into the future, even up to the 21st century, but never has he seen or heard about the Cosmic Era. Probably a good thing too. Nothing good about the war part though. ]

Athrun is from the same time period?

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he is.

[Might as well start the next round with him telling more about himself.]

I was one of the soldiers that participated in the war.

[ In Japan, the ages of being a solder is 17 to 40. Shinn looks rather young, younger than him. ]

How old were you then?

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

...16.

[lonesummoner.livejournal.com]

Isn't that young?

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Not really, Coordinators mature faster than the Naturals, so 16 is usually the regular age for enlistment.

That, and I entered a military academy, so I think that might've helped as well.
