Ryu sighed, plopping down at the table with the others and tapping Ju-ken on the shoulder. "You gotta see this. Oi, Cha!" he stated, getting the other man's attention from across the table. When the guitarist looked up from his conversation with Gackt, Ryu continued. "What Shogunate suspected that Western traders were forerunners to a military conquest by European powers?"

Without hesitation, the other replied, "The Tokugawa Shogunate."

"When was the Convention of Kanagawa held?"

"March 31, 1854."

"And when was the 'Treaty of Peace with Japan' written by Japan and the Allied Nations of World War Two?"

"September 1951."

"And when, according to said treaty, would Japan regain full sovereignty?"

"April 28, 1952."

"....what did you eat for breakfast this morning?"

There was a momentous pause as Cha's eyes went wide. Burying his face in his hands the other man cried, "I don't know! Shut up Ryu!"
