[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.]

...Well, why not, right. This is an A+ life decision.]
Gahahaha! Carry me, then!
[--And Iwatooshi throws his cloth onto Hotarumaru's face before 'jumping' into his arms to give the illusion that Hotarumaru is actually hauling him up, when in reality, he's barely balancing himself on his tiptoes.
Can't break the kid's spirit. (Or his bones, if he actually does try to haul him up... though theoretically, Hotarumaru might seriously be able to lift Iwatooshi up, but...)]
no subject
Lifting somebody as big as Iwatooshi will definitely boost Hotarumaru's confidence levels. Just as long as he doesn't notice that he isn't actually lifting the naginata up. Thankfully, the cloth is doing a great job at obstructing his vision. With his arms occupied, he's unable to pull it away from his face.
That tiny "lift" was more than enough to satisfy Hotarumaru though. A few seconds up is about the right time to prove his point. He'll set Iwatooshi back onto the ground. At that moment, he pulls the fabric away from his face to reveal that proud face. ]
Success!
[ insert victory gesture here!!
It's fine if he doesn't know any better. ]
no subject
grind tantousshow tantous how to fight. Iwatooshi 'touches down' on the ground with a 'hmph', as if he was set down quickly.Hopefully, he doesn't decide to go around trying to lift Kousetsu after this, or... someone else who may take him seriously and actually crush him to bits.]
Not bad, not bad! I see you've been training hard!
[And Iwatooshi shows off his own biceps, which... are probably the size of Hotarumaru's head, but whatever. That only makes Hotarumaru's ability to lift him all the more impressive, right!?]
On your free day too, eh?
no subject
If a broken oodachi is lying on the floor, please tell the Saniwa to bring his remains and bury them at Mt. Aso. Or in a field where fireflies swarm.
Whichever one is easier. ]
I want to catch up to you as soon as possible!
[ Flexing some more so they can compare bice-- hahahaha. Those scrawny arms of his pale in comparison to Iwatooshi, but he won't be upset!! He picked this big guy up!!
It just means he needs to train more. ]
no subject
Just go and lift Souza or something, he's probably 2kg or something. Absolutely nothing but skin and bones, that one.]
That's a big goal! [Because he's literally bigger than everyone else here, get it.] How about you see how close you are right now, eh?
[Is that an offer to spar?!
Looking at their stats... Hotarumaru probably fares better, if Iwatooshi doesn't run circles around him instead.]
no subject
Oh!
[ He's not going to turn down an offer like this. Brimming with excitement, he has sword ready and everything! ]
Let's do this!
[ Please don't run. His short legs can't carry him far enough. Also, he might trip on his sheath. This is why he rides on horses and that's not allowed indoors. ]
no subject
Hahahaha! I hope this will amuse me, practice or not!
[If it's any consolation, Iwatooshi will only go 'easy' on Hotarumaru in strange, convoluted ways.] Three, two, one!
[Everyone else gets the fuck out of the way as Iwatooshi counts down menacingly.
Will they wreck the dojo?! Only time will tell.]
no subject
somebody melt him down and and then turn him into a naginata, too.]I will try not to disappoint!
[ He says it in his usual sing song voice. But the moment Iwatooshi finishes counting down, Hotarumaru's easy-going attitude changes to a much more serious expression. Knowing just how slow he can be, he charges in immediately after the "one" leaves Iwatooshi's lips.
Easy or not, it looks like Hotarumaru is going to try to get in the first swing. ]
Here I come!
no subject
And no, Iwatooshi must remain the one and only.When Iwatooshi spots him moving, he immediately swerves his right leg to the left-- and proves that while the oodachi is long, the naginata is even longer, and he holds it out with one hand, handle slamming against the floor to take Hotarumaru's blow.
Suddenly stricken by the desire to pull off an amazing-looking but ultimately kinda useless skill, when Hotarumaru's strength manages to force his naginata off the ground, he jams the end of the handle against the floor to give himself some leverage as he tries to--
--leap right over Hotarumaru. Yep. His naginata will rotate in midair to finally point blade-first to the ground, or to Hotarumaru.]
