[The Citadel is huge, so it's a good thing they have all the time in the world to dick around.
--Well, no, they don't. But the point is, it's a free day. There will be absolutely no work done at all. Unless you want to or something. If you do, you're pretty weird.
The dojo is always open for sparring and practice. If there's any sparring errand you've slacked on, now's the chance to make up! The horse stables are also full of activity, whether the horses are being tended to or rode around-- be careful not to let them trample the fields, though, which is full of rice sprouts and budding cabbage. The lake in front of the saniwa(s)' room has tiny frogs jumping about, and you could catch them in the palm of your hand.
The kitchen is full of food, if you're volunteering to make lunch or have decided that meal time cannot possibly come any later and you simply must prepare something before you die from starvation. While there has been a considerable effort made to make the Citadel look as homely as possible to the swords which come from Japan's past, there's speckles of technology here and there.
The TV room is a good example, with a huge screen sitting on top of a few console systems. Don't break them, you'll only be getting this luxury once. Take turns and play nice. The swords may also find themselves tending the fields with water sprinklers and hoses instead of watering cans, for instance, or heating up some leftover pie in the fridge instead of making another one from scratch since there's technology to preserve food well over a week. The armory and smithy are definitely a little bit more modern than they'd be back in the past, though much is still made by hand-- nothing beats the fine work of a master. Perhaps you'll have a few new friends today, or you want to try creating a cute little soldier spirits todie for you accompany you in battle. Make sure they enter the orb completely, or else it'll turn brown and crack.
Or perhaps you're one of the unlucky swords still stuck in the repair room, sword body still being re-smelted and fixed. Hope the saniwa is good at making you all shiny. If you want to skip all that waiting, perhaps you can try to use a helper token... but they're all in the saniwa's room! Guess you've got to use that Camouflage stat...
But if you truly cannot bear with staying in the Citadel, the time device the saniwa(s) have isn't locked away. You can go on sorties or expeditions to fill your time with something productive.
Just a warning: don't change the past. You won't succeed.
...You could always try, though.]

Jiroutachi | OU | OTA
[It's a beautiful and sunny day outside. The cherry trees are in full bloom, branches drifting in the gentle breeze and occasionally, a soft looking, pink petal drifts down. The water of the lake seems to be in movement, frogs hopping and swimming, some fish darting back and forth. There is a certain tranquility to the place, something peaceful and rare and comforting.
It's obviously the right place for Jiroutachi to indulge in some more sake.
If you happen to stumble upon him, you'll find him sitting on a blanket near the lake, obviously a little tipsy already and holding a small sake cup in his hands as he watches the petals drift down.
Yes, he is not chugging it straight from his bottle today. What a surprise.
And Jiroutachi seems to be in a very giving mood. Maybe he'll share some of his sake. Maybe you want to make sure he doesn't get too drunk. Or perhaps you're hoping for the opposite and want to watch the shenanigans unfold once Jiroutachi gets too deep into his cups.]
tv room
[If you happen to walk into the tv room in hopes of playing a game on the new consoles Saniwa seems to have organized for today, you'll find that you've run out of luck. Jiroutachi is hogging the remote despite his attention clearly being elsewhere. His eyes are fixed on the magazine open in front of him, engrossed by what appears to be a vast collection of eyeshadows.
The TV is running in the background, something about fashion seems to be on but you can't really be sure. Because it looks like that one lady is wearing a square and the one behind her a wedge of cheese?
Fashion really is a mysterious form of art...
Fight him for the remote? Ask politely? Wonder out loud if Jiroutachi is now going to wade into battle dressed like a triangle?]
repair room
[Well well well. Looks like someone got a little messed up during the last sortie. In this case, little means a lot.
Despite Jiroutachi sitting there, looking patient and comfortable, there are little hints as to what happened. His hair is a little messed up, decoration slightly crooked and that outfit he's wearing isn't the one he's left in. In fact, the beautiful clothes he left in are resting in a neatly folded pile to the side and if one was to look closer, they'd see the small, measured stitches mending some rips.
The occasional, impatient sigh coming from Jiroutachi might also be a huge giveaway. It always takes so long to repair him... But at least he'll look his best again.
Step a little closer and you'll see that Jiroutachi is cradling his sake jug protectively. There is a single, long crack running from the neck to the bottom.
Which means he's sober to boot. What a day.]
Repair room
It also looks like he hasn't had anything to drink either. Hotarumaru will have to fix that, right? He darts into the kitchen and starts to prepare something really special! He made a mess out of the place and his clothes, but that's something he'll have to worry about later.
A while later, he finally returns. First he peeks in to make sure Jirou is still there, and yep! Of course. ]
Jirou... [ He slowly approaches the other oodachi and carefully sits down in front of him. Then he holds out a cup filled with a sweet smelling, light green liquid. There's ice in it to keep it cool! ] Muscat wine!
[ It's actually just juice. Hotarumaru doesn't know how to make wine.... ]
no subject
Oh.
The day really hasn't been going well for Jiroutachi but this bright little spark of a blade takes some of the weight off his shoulders. With a grin, Jiroutachi accepts the cup and tips it a little towards Hotarumaru to show his gratitude.]
Did you prepare this all by yourself, Hotarumaru?
[And he's so, so glad it's alcohol, even if it's been handed to him by someone who looks like a minor because this will mute the dull throbbing in the back of his head-
Jiroutachi takes a sip.
It's not alcohol.
... ...]
It's really good!
no subject
[ Hotarumaru is very pleased to have Jiroutachi's approval. He put in a lot of effort in order to cheer his comrade up. Having something refreshing to drink will hopefully help kill the time. ]
I can make more for you next time.
[ And hopefully, it won't be in the repair room again. They go well with snacks, but they really shouldn't be eating in here. ]
So get better soon, Jirou!
[ Hotaru also presents a brush, hoping to help fix the other's hair while he's busy enjoying his drink. ]
no subject
[If only it contained alcohol sob.
But really, it's the thought that counts and Hotarumaru could have easily walked by and ignored Jiroutachi's situation in order to play a game or find someone else to hang out with. Instead, he's come here to keep Jiroutachi company and that warms his heart.]
And if I'm in your capable hands, I'm sure I'll be better soon.
[Happily, Jiroutachi reaches out and pats Hotarumaru's head as he places the cup down so he can remove the accessories from his hair.]
Do you want to help me with my hair?
no subject
Yes please!
[ He really wants to! Once given permission, he quickly scoots closer to Jiroutachi. His fingers gently run through those long, silky locks first. As expected, it would be very nice and smooth like this. He only needed to brush it out just a tiny bit. ]
Your hair will look all pretty and stylish again, just like the way it was before.
[ Be brushes his hair carefully and gently until it's all neat and tidy again. ]
Brush, brush, brush ♪!
no subject
It's his enthusiasm and his cheer which makes Jiroutachi's fingers finally unclench from around the sake jug, carefully setting it aside in order to drink more juice.]
Any recommendation on how I should wear it today?
[Usually, Jiroutachi is very picky about who gets to touch his hair since he is a rather vain person. However, Hotarumaru is being very good at not tugging at snags and he's only trying to cheer Jiroutachi up. Even a blind person would be able to see that.
A laugh escapes Jiroutachi's lips as he glances over his shoulder though it dims into a puzzled expression once he gets a good look at Hotarumaru's clothes.]
Did you get your clothes dirty?
no subject
Mmm, that's hard to say. You always look nice regardless.
[ It must be tough having to keep up with so much hair like this. But for anybody that's able to take care of it and maintain it so well, it must be an achievement. That's why Hotarumaru continues to treat Jirou's hair with utmost care.
He might not get another chance like this if he did something wrong... ]
Ah... I did have a little trouble in the kitchen, but I made sure to wash my hands before and after.
[ He wouldn't try to touch if his hands were all sticky and gross. ]
I'll change my clothes after I take care of you.
no subject
Other people wished they were as good at it as he is.
...And Hotarumaru is too kind if he ignored his own dirty clothes in order to cheer Jiroutachi up. Isn't this where people catch colds from? ...Not that they can catch colds. Right?]
That won't do, Hotarumaru. Here.
[And from the depths of his spare outfit, Jiroutachi pulls out a handkerchief, turning around and leaning down so he can rub at the sticky smuge on Hotarumaru's face.]
You've got to look your best, too!
lake!
Oh wait, she spotted one, though he seems to be indulging himself. Maybe she shouldn't interrupt him, so she observes the scenery just a short distance away.]
no subject
There's enough for two!
no subject
Are you sure? I am fine if it is all for yourself.
no subject
More than certain. It's a beautiful day and some sake is going to make it even brighter, don't you agree?
no subject
I suppose so! I haven't actually experienced this before outside of with family. An outing amongst the cherry blossoms.
no subject
Plus, drinking buddies make everything better!]
There's always a first time for everything. If you want more people around to come and join, you'll probably only have to whistle.
no subject
Thank you. [And she takes a sip! All of this is now his fault because he wants more drinking frands.]
You are right. Although I think the rest are busy? So it might just be the two of us.
no subject
...Which, really, isn't the reason why Jiroutachi is sitting here, drinking by himself.
...really!!]
I'm sure just the two of us can liven up the citadel, too!
no subject
But that's okay, he has some free time, which is nice to experience too.]
Perhaps! I am not the most exciting person around. [She's usually roped along by other spirited individuals anyway.] But I will follow your guidance.
no subject
And I will make sure you're in good hands.
[He takes his leading seriously after all.]
no subject
Oh! Then I am grateful to be in your capable hands. I only regret that I never predicted this to happen, otherwise I could've brought some snacks.
[And there she goes, fretting. Even though he's so relaxed!]
no subject
[Jirou's tone is filled with gentle scolding, he sees what you're doing there, Vietnam. And he doesn't like it. She should be drinking and be merry and not worry about whether or not they have snacks.]
If this is truly bothering you, we can go and see what the kitchen has to offer.
no subject
While I am only slightly bothered, and it is a good idea...[she holds herself nobly!] It would ruin the atmosphere should we leave. It is, how they say, we should savour the moment?
no subject
That's the spirit indeed! [Jiroutachi seems only too happy to raise his cup into Vietnam's direction, smiling widely before bringing it to his lips and sipping at it.
The taste is so rich and full and the warmth rushes through his limbs, making him feel a little lighter. As if he could dance on air.
It's strong alcohol to boot. How is he not hacking up a lung??]
no subject
I am glad to be of service. [And she raises her glass just like he does, before she sips again. Well, it's strong, and she's pretty sure that one or two more cups and she might actually start to feel something. Because she's A. Small, B. Female, all of which is the opposite of strong drinker.]
It has such nice flavour. [It still gives that nice warm feeling, perfect to watch the cherry blossoms as they show of their ethereal beauty.]
no subject
Her comment about the sake makes his eyes light up and he nods along with her words. Someone finally knows how to appreciate good sake!
Especially with this kind of atmosphere and surroundings. The sakura blossoms are so nice to look at and if it weren't too cold for it still, Jiroutachi might be tempted to dip his toes into the lake.]
Doesn't it? The weather really fits the sake. [Shouldn't it be the other way around...]
