[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.]

[Aw, man. Have the frogs got to...? He nods back, but he's looking a spot exasperated at the situation, here-]

Tch. They can deal with it. [A brief pause.] But - thanks.

[With that, he lowers himself to the ground, long blade carefully arranged behind his form. Ah, this is fine...]

They too should allow visitors from time to time. [ Another soft chuckle, this time watching him as he finally settles himself down on the ground. ] Though really, I cannot see why they would be so afraid... you are quite charming.

[ Especially if you agree to sit here and have tea with this old man. You get a lot of points for that.

And speaking of the tea, Mikazuki will now begin to pour him a cup before sliding it over.

Ch-charmin'? Me?

[Futsu-no-Mitama goes a spot red in the face for a moment. Him, an old thing from before curved blades were in fashion, getting called that by someone like Mikazuki? He wasn't expecting that...

Still, he shakes it off quickly, smiling and giving a brief laugh, and reaches to accept the cup.]


Ya picked a good spot for this.

Ah ha ha! Yes, of course you! While I do find the frogs charming themselves, I certainly do not have to give them the compliments you should receive.

[ He continues to laugh even while fully handing over the tea cup. His smile unmatched. ]

I am glad you agree. More often than not this very area is taken by the other swords. I am most grateful to experience this location myself.

Wh' - thanks...

[...The compliment has him going roughly so red that you could forge a tantou from the heat before he manages to recover, staring down into his tea so as to not be looking anywhere else for a moment.]

Yeah. Me, too. Just bein' able to watch all'a this without worryin' about a fight... the frogs 'n the birds 'n everything else...

[ Oh goodness, you were just too adorable- that'll receive another laugh coming from this old sword. ]

It is wise that we do not take these moments for granted. This new war we wage has been most unexpected.

[ Yet even as he says this, his smile still remains. He is more than willing to serve this saniwa, and hopes that through this peace will return once again. It's also nice to know he is not alone- ]

But please, feel free to have as much as you would like.

Thanks. [Gratefully, he takes a long sip before he speaks up-]
Woulda never thought I would be fightin' for real...

[There's a gentle sigh to that. Still: it's what he's here for, so it's hardly a criticism of the situation. What's the point of being a weapon and not being used?]
