[ just makes 😟 faces. none of these are very good choices. as he's in the process of contemplating his life and how he ended up here, Tonbo doesn't exactly notice Junpei's struggles until it's far too late ]
Mm hopefully none of these-
[ aaaaand that sure is a barrier he sees when he looks up. his own memory is a wild one, abet with less music and much more chaos of singlehandedly taking out the opposing army until the only one left standing is him. the battle of anegawa remains one of the dangerous yet highly satisfying things he's ever done since gaining this form. ]
[The nice thing is Junpei understands Japanese even if I don't, so all of this is mostly just bewildering for him!? THIS IS TONBO ITS HARD FOR HIM TO REMEMBER THAT HE'S LITERALLY A WEAPON. But while he's busy watching the spear slay everyone in his path, Tonbo gets this charming memory featuring someone kind of familiar. And also some death. So that's fun!]
[ THAT SURE IS A MEMORY???? JUNPEI, ARE YOU OKAY?????? Tonbo immediately starts upon returning to himself, eyes flicking immediately to Junpei's neck. ]
Most humans can't. I only know a few people who can myself and they're all people that learned at the same time I did. But it's not exactly about keeping history the same. It's about staying alive and stopping other things.
[ he didn't realize?? tonbo pay more attention!! ]
Mm... it is less of a for the sake of time itself but still important to you as a group? I can't perhaps say if that is for the better or not but.....[ the swords have all had the urge to do very similar regarding their og masters with varying success after all. he can't fault them for actually going out and trying ]
Yeah. Carlos and I met a few days before that memory you saw. [...to answer that is more complicated though.] It's more for us as a group and the sake of the whole world. We needed to survive so that we could track down some fanatic that's going to start a war that'll kill eight billion people. Or so I figure.
We didn't really have a choice. [But he doesn't mind much.] We stopped one history from eliminating six billion people. Now we have this history to save.
It's why I think I kind of understand your missions a little better the more I hear about them. Just...differently.
From what I have gathered, it has been quite a while since the Time Government was formed. I would not doubt if the two were related in some way because of people having learned how to go back in time.
[ he's gonna have to ask specifically about dates but so far the theory is sound ]
Mm....... Well, it is currently the year 2205. I would assume they've been operating for quite some time given the way our Master talks of them. [ aka i'm crying because they're honestly still just a nebulous presence canonly ] And as we tend to perform mostly in the late 20XX's...
[ math lady gif's because that's actually a big chunk of time for things to have happen?? HM. ]
...alright, well, you officially win for "a world that finally confuses me" so that's something. [There's a light, sort of joking grin.] I was never sure who was sending you guys back besides the saniwa and stuff but when you put it that way it makes sense.
but yes, I suppose even we sometimes forget there are people beyond our master's orders. they tend to not interfere with the citadel directly and generally leave it to saniwa. [ because honestly, they're just the shady organization in the background ]
It's possible.....? Our enemies are distorted versions of weapons, twisted into their master's making. They are perhaps not demons such as these but.... [ he shrugs??? ]
But maybe a similar idea. A distortion of some kind twisted to their master's making. We still don't know who's responsible. There has to be a mastermind somewhere.
Mm.... That's certainly a possibility. It's hard to say if these demons are in fact the one Polly initially summoned or if they are only just the ones sowing discord for their master.
[ but the ship is also Like This so maybe there's more......? How complicated..... ]

How is it that you were able to come back?
[ he didn't think humans did that.........? ]
no subject
...it's complicated. We ended up in a different history than that one, so it still happened but to a different version of myself. I guess.
no subject
I didn't think that it was possible for humans to do such... I know we are tasked with keeping history as is but to travel to an alternate.....?
no subject
...maybe it is the same in that sense then.

A worthy goal then. To save so many from such a person.

It certainly does feel rather familiar. I wonder, if your situation is what ended up becoming the reason for our creation.
[ does...... junpei know they're technically from the future....... ]

What do you mean by that?
