[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.]

poor soul

[ shishio is always worth bullying, in tsurumaru's opinion. his reactions can always be counted on to be so fun, and he's always so very loud about it that it makes surprising him just that much more interesting. the moment he hears the shishio war cry (tm) erupt throughout the citadel, he made himself mischievously scarce, opting to quietly shadow the purple nue and his colourful owner from afar, keeping track of his practice with barely muffled giggles (gokotai had made himself very, very scarce after catching sight of him and his mischief-- he hardly knows why, clearly). what kind-hearted soul, carrying a bag of frogs. he'd almost feel bad for the pitfalls if it weren't for the fact that it's honestly quite funny.

so by the time he pops up over the edge of the pitfall to wave at shishio, he'd gotten most of the laughter out of his system, opting for a mere grin and a few stifled giggles.

Can't say! Who knows, maybe I'll do it again when you least expect it, so I can't be giving away all my secrets right now. [ and then a thumbs-up as he watches shishio's actions with interest. is he trying to pile dirt up so he can get out of the pitfall? ] Your hair looks ravishing, by the way. Your braids look really neat in blue.

[ such a pretty princess, shishio!! ]

[If you were going to bully him, at least spare his nue-- but no, it's too late, its fur has become a complete neon purple. If it recognizes Tsurumaru, it doesn't show, but it does jump away from Shishiō and casually run away the moment Tsurumaru shows up.]

It's not a braid! [(What is it, actually. I have no idea. His fucking hair. Ah, unless Tsurumaru braided it while Shishiō was asleep as well... truly a pretty princess.) Some of the frogs retreat into his bag, but in the end, he simply cannot hold back the desire to throw something, and thus opts for a big fistful of dirt with an alarmingly fat frog added in. He hopes it nails you in the eye and you fall into your own trap, Tsurumaru.

Or better yet, fall into the lake. You always looked more like a koi than a crane when you were splattered in blood, anyway.]
