Asking for more time first of all sounds good - before we do anything at all. We need to gather more information before we sign your souls over to anyone.
[Hijikata really misses his spy subordinate Yamazaki. If he were here he'd simply order him to stay behind at the castle and investigate while he and Sagi return to Camelot, but it looks like they'll have to do the legwork on their own.]
If other off-worlders showed up here before us chances are they really already wished for that, because what else would any of us want more? But if we're the first ones the responsibility is on us.
[The castle owners choose that moment to return to see if their guests were able to make a decision, and Hijikata wastes no time needling them with questions.]
Are we the only winners who've been given this opportunity?
Oh, no! We wanted to give as many people as possible a chance to visit our castle and--
And join your cult, got it. Did anyone else already wish for the time freeze situation to get resolved?
No, actually!
[That gives Hijikata pause.]
Are you kidding me? Then what did the others wish for?
Most people considered food!
[And were promptly talked out of it by their companions, but mentioning that would be bad for business. Hijikata groans and turns to Sagi.]
I guess this really is going to have to rest on us.
[He flatly addresses the castle owners again.]
We'll need more time for consideration.
That's alright, but our special offer is only valid today, so please keep that in mind!
Oh, for God's sake. Sagi, do you want to go home or stay here to discuss this further?
no subject
