[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.]

[ He certainly won't put it back on his head anytime soon. Maybe he can ask someone to help him with his laundry later. But Hotarumaru is smiling happily, clutching onto his precious hat. ]

It's okay, I have it back now. Thank you.

[ And it was definitely a good thing that Futsu came along. Hotaru's alternative method would have been to poke the horse with the butt of his sword until it dropped his hat. ]

[Yeah, this was probably an improvement. He just grins back, though his voice is a spot concerned as he talks on-]

Just be more careful next time, yeah?

[ Hotarumaru is fine now! But he won't be going near the horses for a while. He nods and makes a tiny salute. ]

I promise!

[ Next time, he'll do field work instead!! ]

[Would you look at that. Cute kid, seriously... the smile softens.]

Look... while I'm out here, can I give ya a hand with anythin' else?

[ Well, since he's offering...

Hotarumaru holds the hat out towards him again. ]


Can you help me with the laundry?

[ He could go and wash this thing in the river somewhere, but the washing machine makes life easier!!

The faster it goes back on his head, the better! ]

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2015-03-30 11:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Laundry... okay, he's really not used to something like that, but there's a first time for anything! Not going to sit on his scabbard all day if someone needs help, and all.]

Heh, sure. I ain't sure where it is, though.

It's this way.

[ He hopes you don't mind, Futsu. Hotarumaru will slowly reach over to take his hand as the oodachi leads the way.

For the technologically inept, the washing machine seems pretty intimidating with all of its buttons and dials. When in doubt, push every single button?

... Yeah, Hotarumaru isn't used to these new found conveniences either. Hopefully that hat doesn't get torn up in the washing machine. ]


I guess I just toss my hat in here!

[Futsu's got no problem with being led, the kid knows where the stuff is and all, though his pace is slightly awkward as he tries not to outspeed Hotarumaru with his longer stride...

His face is a study in confusion as he gets there, though, peering at the millions of buttons and things that go beep when he pushes them out of curiosity.]


It's a... it's a box. How's a box supposed to get things clean?

[And boxes should not make noises like that. There some water spirits or something living inside?]

I saw our master use it a few times. I just need to open up this glass door and throw my hat inside!

[ He's going to do that right now! Except Hotarumaru is trying to open it on the wrong end. No matter how much he pulls, the door won't budge. ]

Huh? This is strange...

[ It opened up so easily when the Saniwa did it!! ]

[Well, if he says that's what the boss does...]

Eh? Gimme a go. It's probably just stuck on somethin'.

[And give it a pull he does! ... Making exactly the same mistake Hotarumaru is, mind.]

...okay, that ain't budging.
