[Sounding rather tired, but otherwise okay.]

Is everyone all right? I'm sorry I haven't been in contact. My ...uh, talking box was damaged and I couldn't make it work again, so I had to find a new one. I'm all right. Though I think I'm a bit lost in this weird new forest...

[There's a lot of loud noise, like someone beating frantically on a locker door, and then, a somewhat muffled voice.]

...can someone let me out now, please? I know you probably thought it was funny to see if I would fit in here, but I'm going to miss my next class!

[Okita's back is to the camera, which shows a typical traditional Japanese room, with an empty courtyard beyond the open screen.]

It's not home if no one's here...

Ummm.... Just so everyone knows... the copy machine is broken again. I didn't do anything to it, I swear! I just pushed the button and it made an awful noise and started smoking! So we probably need to refill the fire extinguisher too...

[Okita can be seen wandering back and forth outside a very weathered shack in the cactus patch... it may have been the dojo before the curse hit. He's wringing his hands in a worried manner, and wearing a very modest looking calico dress with his hair up in a neat bun]

I came here to teach! They said it would be a great opportunity for me, that I would be doing the children a service. I hardly have any students, and it's dangerous! I should have listened to father and stayed home.

[At this, he sits on the rickety looking front step, looking dejected.]

[The 'queen' is sitting at a very ornate looking table, chin in hands looking very... well... bored. He blows his bangs out of his eyes and sighs.]

Court life is really very dull, isn't it? I can't go out and have any fun anymore.

[realizes he's being recorded, and makes an undignified squeak before quickly shutting it off quickly.]

...what's going on? Everyone's being weird again!

I think I'm bored. Hijikata-san, you should come play with me, or I might have to challenge someone to a sparing match.

Ah... is it safe to leave the teepee? There were all those weird animals last week and I didn't want to get chased again...

I'm never going in the woods without my sword again.

[lots of rustling sounds, and something growling in the background, carries on throughout the post]

Ah... I don't really... I mean... I'm sorry if I--

[more noise, as if he's running]

I really didn't mean to disturb you, mister Bear! I was just investigating that tree! Please stop chasing me!

[more crashing around before the recording cuts out]
