Where are you and what the fuck is going on over there.
[ ok he has one. ]

[ WHAT. ]
...you get the hell out of there as soon as you can. Your survival [ read that, saitou. your not their. if hijikata knew how to make italtics or knew what the fuck italics were for, he'd be abusing that button right now. and bold. and underline. ...maybe. ] is top priority. That's an order.
[ because he's seen very little clutter of dead bodies around here, but if saitou and whoever else he is with is sealed off in a place where people are killing themselves, he can only assume they did it because there was something worse awaiting them if they remained living. ]

Yes, sir.
[That begs the question of how to get the hell out of there. But Saitou's never been one to bog down his orders by saying he's not sure if he can follow them - he just does the best he damned well can, and accepts whatever consequences his failures earn, even if he could make a case for them not being his fault.
(Because in his eyes, of course, it's his duty to be good enough no matter what.)]

[ he's more than confident that if there's a way out, saitou will find it. and if there isn't? whatever, hijikata will come get him as soon as he figures out how to get out of his own confinement zone and break the goddamn door with his bare hands if he has to. ]

Hey there, I'm doing just a basic inquiry. Have you been feeling weird today?
Hey there, I'm doing just a basic inquiry. Have you been feeling weird today?
Just out of your usual really. Feeling like you could drop dead any minute, or shoot lasers out of your eyes, anything that's just plain out of your normal!
["I haven't felt a creepy thirst for blood" isn't really good conversation for new acquaintances, but if this might be important...ugh.]
A bit unusual, perhaps, but not inexplicable.
[He's just doing a good job controlling himself today. That's his story and he'd like to continue sticking to it.]

A bit unusual- mmmm- all right then! Thank you.
[Aww, all these people experiencing new things, kinda makes a guy feel left out!]

Until next time then! I hope you're feeling better soon, stay strong! [Disconnect.]

Saitou, were you able to identify if that was actually a rasetsu?
The symptoms were unmistakable, and the medicine was effective in relieving them. I do not know what other conclusion to draw. It has been my assumption that none of us have arrived here in possession of ochimizu, however, so the only explanation I can imagine is that this is the doing of COMPASS.
[A pause.]
Although I was not aware at the time, as I had not met his friend before...I believe you should know, sir, that the one affected is Ivan Karelin.

Karelin? Are you fucking—
[ Oh my god, he is going to crush COMPASS with his bare hands before this is over, so help him. Hijikata cuts himself short though, not willing to shift off course of the issue at hand just to throw a fit at a group that he can't currently see or touch. ]
Figures. What about you?
[ Because he wants to know before he spills the rest, since he knows that Saitou will do it regardless of his actual wellbeing. ]

[ ...That's good enough. It has to be, what other choice do they have? ]
Then, I need you to step forward in this as I step back. Chizuru and Heisuke, don't let anything happen to them.
[ He'll take care of Kondou, still, even if that means dragging him ever single place he goes because he knows he's going to have an episode over finding out about Ivan and that's Hijikata's fault so he'll deal with that. ]

Yes, sir.
[He would do that anyway, Hijikata.
A pause.]
...are you all right, sir? [That in a bit of a smaller voice than usual. He knows asking that, among men like them, can be construed as an insult. He knows, and he'll take whatever's coming his way if Hijikata takes it as such, but - given the circumstances, knowing what's going on takes priority over avoiding giving offense.]

[ Yes, he knows. He's telling him so he gets that Hijikata doesn't have his back in that burden right now. ]
...Karelin had to get his current nightmare from somewhere, right? And where ever I am in burning up my time through the ochimizu, it's far enough along that I'll only be a problem for you without being a rasetsu. [ If this was any other situation—he'd say fuck it and do it regardless, but this isn't something he can screw around with. This isn't standing toe to toe with Kazama Chikage to slap that smug look off his face. It's not just about him and he is aware he can still assist in a different way.
He's not offended, but the spite he's feeling towards this place right now is terribly obvious. He hates this, he hates the idea that he has to sit back and he can't support Saitou with a blade. He hates that what he's feeling is currently eating away at a kid that doesn't even know how to have a fucking lick of self-esteem and still is aimless in the world and no matter how he looks at it, it's his own fault that's happening. ]
I'll find out what needs to be done to resolve this—you pierce straight on through and make sure it happens. You're the only surefire blade able to cut this time. [ At this point, Hijikata has no idea if Heisuke is all right, either. ]

Something like that never crossed my mind for a second.
