[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 to die 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.]

calling for divine protection

[ but let us think about the hands that are actually making these deformed riceblobs: Mikazuki's own aristocratic hands.

His form is completely off; palms idly flip-flopping the rice in attempts to make a legible shape. Yet all that he has successfully done is make a mess. Sorry.
]

—Hn? Dry? [ What does that even mean.

Casting a glance to the other sword, Mikazuki simply brushes off the statement with a chuckle.
]

Could that be the reason it will not hold?

we'll need it. probably.

[ Mikazuki... please... ]

...

[ It means exactly what it means!

Somehow he doesn't think it's just the consistency that's the problem here. Well, since he's here, he might as well offer his assistance. Rolling up his sleeves, he prepares himself for... riceball making. Dun dun dunnn.
]

Stop flopping it around like it's a dead fish.

[ Just stop. ]
uchinoke: (( .003 ))

most likely.

[ Oh what a sweet sword, coming all this way to help this old one out. Truly, you were a god sent.

Mikazuki, by now, had clearly figured out he was no good at this, and that riceball making was never written in the stars for him. Perhaps with a little practice though...

But first, he can't help but laugh. Much harder than last time as his attention shifts to the... whatever it was in his hands.
]

Ah ha ha! At the moment, do you not think it looks like a fish? Surely more so than a ball.

[ Attempt at making a joke: probably not that good. ]

[ Save that judgement for later, after you've been trapped in the kitchen with him longer than a minute. ]

...what kind of fish looks like that?!

[ ...okay, maybe he can see it a little, but-- still, that would be one hideous fish. Maybe if he changes the subject, they could get away from the shapes... ]

Are you putting anything in them?

[ ...no wait, that's dangerous. If he can't even prepare the rise, who knows what kind of weird things he'd put in it... OH WELL, TOO LATE TO TAKE IT BACK. ]

A goldfish, perhaps? [ He laughs. Please make him stop. ] Though I will admit my knowledge of sea life is less to be desired.

[ He'll draw the riceblob a little closer to you, almost as if to say "well, what do you think?"

But oh good, a subject change! Mikazuki simply follows right along. Maybe due to his age.
]

In them? Haaaa, I have yet to get that far. The rice has given quite a burden, as I have not been able to move forward from here.

[ Hate to say it but at your age, shouldn't you at least know what a goldfish looks like?? Siiiigh.

Izumi digs about and manages to find a small container of plums - they'll work.

Alright, just- like this... [ ...time to teach this old man something. He's... admittedly not that great with instructions so instead he just reaches around and puts his hands over Mikazuki's, showing him how he should be packing the rice. ]
