[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.]

What is most alarming is how Yasusada immediately becomes so polite, but once again, god knows how many times they've gone through that. Shishiō's mouth just opens with an 'ahhhh', like he's waiting for another insect to fly in and for Yasusada to just stab him through the teeth instead. Finally he closes his mouth, affirming that his jaw isn't broken.]
What made you think that was a good idea!?
[The real question on everyone's lips right now.]
It'll take more than that to actually hurt me, though. [--And of course, he has to add that. Just to. Make it clear. You know. He's just pissed off, not at all spooked.]
no subject
yasusada, for his part, is genuinely not sure how to answer that question. part of the reason is because he doesn't know why he thinks shanking bugs with the anger of a thousand suns is a good idea, and the other part of the reason is that he honestly has never thought about his reasoning before at all. as far as he can remember, he's been doing this. it's his Thing. of course, he's not particularly good with words, and therefore just looks more chagrined. ]
I don't know. To be honest, when I heard your scream, my body moved on its own.
[ yeah that's... literally it. he does look on to shishio with admiration, however, putting his hands together. ] And I did make sure to avoid you, though I couldn't stop the plate from shattering. You dodged all the pieces. That's amazing.
[ KOUHAI ADMIRATION, shishio-san ur cool ]
no subject
Shishiō has several different ways to answer that. For example, 'you wield a dangerous weapon at all times, what the hell do you mean your body moved on your own, you need impulse control'. Or maybe he could choose to say 'don't avoid the question, you're secretly trying to kill me, aren't you?!' like the line of a mob boss in a wuxia drama right before the climatic main fight. But if Yasusada is the hero, then the strange blur of moral grey that would make is too complex for a wuxia drama.
So instead, Shishiō chooses the most practical answer:]
What do you mean, I screamed?! That was... my nue! [Look, he even referenced it in his internal monologue 2 comments ago. What did you expect. He does look at Yasusada's cute little face now and slacken his shoulders a bit, though.] But I guess I am pretty amazing, aren't I--
--wait, you're trying to distract me from the main point, aren't you?!
[Ah, if only things were that simple, Shishiō.]
no subject
Not at all, Shishio-san. I'd still like to offer my apologizes for startling your Nue. [ that's a small nod of his head, look how dutiful and safe and polite he is. you'd think the person who just shanked your bug was a completely different person...
except no, it was still this punk, and the smile on his face only gets more beatific. ] Though it's also amazing that your Nue's scream can sound like two people at once. Nues are really interesting creatures, huh.
