[At first it's just an eyebrow with some muttering about stupid contraptions.] How does this thing work?

[He pulls it closer, but there's an eye now. You wanted to see an eye, right?] And just how are you supposed to tell if it is working?

[He sighs before holding it a little farther away.] Well, I do not know if it is working. This thing is unusual at best. I suppose I might as well make an introduction. Hello. [He goes to tip the hat that is not there before making an annoyed expression and moving on.] My name is John Henry, but you may call me Doc. If anyone is better with these things, I believe I may be in need of some instruction.

Unless I am talking to myself. [This is said softer and meant to be mostly to himself.] Perhaps I ought to stop this before I make even more of a fool of myself.

（ he has the good graces not to preface this by saying, if you are who you say you are. ）

most people don't expect to be famous after they die.

what makes you so sure there's historical texts to read about?

[ihavecharacter]

No, I suppose they do not. It is true that Wyatt and I could have faded into obscurity despite the OK Corral. I happened upon someone who kept me from dying, so my aging is on pause as you were.

I have heard Waverly go on countless rambling talks about myself and Wyatt. I have seen the information myself. Not that I have spent much time reading it, but that is what it is, I suppose.

[zangetsu]

（ 'aging on pause'. where has he heard that before...

was this guy actually picked up by a shinigami?? is there even an american branch of soul society?

wild. ）

okay.

thanks.

（ for... ）

for answering i mean.

so i guess a place like this must be a pretty big change.

（ he's not saying he buys it. but. he's more convinced than he was, and he'll listen at the very least. ）

[ihavecharacter]

Of course. It is certainly a change from Purgatory. But most places would be.

[zangetsu]

（ an afterlife by any other name... ）

and you remember it? being there, i mean.

[ihavecharacter]

Of course I do. I remember everything. [A beat.] It is just a place named Purgatory and not a part of Hell. Should that be your thinking. Though, it may seem that way to the Revenants.

[zangetsu]

christian purgatory, right?

[ihavecharacter]

Yes. But it is just a city in America. Truly.

[zangetsu]

is that a set-up for a bad joke?

[ihavecharacter]

I have no reason to make a joke. I have lived there for some time. Inside the Ghost River Triangle.

[zangetsu]

（ ghost river triangle.

well.

okay then. ）

is that related to the bermuda triangle?

（ look, at this point, even ichigo doesn't know if he intends that to be a joke of its own or not. ）

[ihavecharacter]

I do not know what it is you are referring to.

[zangetsu]

spot in the ocean where shit goes missing.

lot of people think it's some weird supernatural thing.

（ look,,, he's a millennial, he's absolutely watched a conspiracy theorist documentary or two. ）
