[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.]
nitenryu: (none stronger than me!)

there's so many swords, this means it's time for MUSASHI MIYAMOTO

[ONE OF THE BEST SWORDSMEN IN HISTORY??? sengoku BASARA version, but here's the thing.

This dumb teenager has WANDERED INTO THE CITADEL, carrying his eku and bokken on his shoulders and sniffing the air like it's totally fresh. Because it's not, it smells like a blacksmith and that's kinda gross. But he's just overeacting, as usual.

But why is he even here? There's a perfectly good reason. This swordmaster has heard that all the swords of Japan (bless his soul) are concentrated in this one area. And they're like this strong humanlike spirits now?

WOW? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS? The sword master is the sword. That's??? MINDBLOWING???

So here we have him, pointing his sword RIGHT IN YOUR FACE AND GOING--]


Hey, you! You look strong! [You might not look strong, and you might not even be a goddamn sword.] I'm Musashi Miyamoto, strongest in the land! Let me teach you a few things!

[He just wants to duel, truth be told. But no he's a pretty good sensei, let him do the thing.]
nuemercy: (casual- and we're starting at the end)

[personal profile] nuemercy 2015-03-29 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[You know, Shishiō was supposed to actually work today. Walk onto the fields, kick dirt and water plants, that sort of gross thing. He's finally submitted to his fate and grabbed the hoe when Musashi suddenly comes his way.

AND SUDDENLY EVERYTHING IS THROWN OUT THE WINDOW AND THERES A SWORD IN HIS FACE WTF]


Ehhh? The strongest? How can you say that when I'm here!

[Shishiō already picks up the cue for a duel. Just... give him a moment to go get himself. His weapon? It gets weird when you're a tsukumogami.]

Raising your sword against Shishiō-sama? You're asking for it now!

[But he has a smile on his face, so he's probably viewing this turn of events as salvation. SORRY SANIWA, SOMEONE CHALLENGED HIM AND MIGHT BE DANGEROUS, HE SIMPLY HAD TO ENGAGE HIM AND IGNORE THE FIELDS. THE PLANTS WILL BE FINE.]
nitenryu: (prepare to be defeated!)

[personal profile] nitenryu 2015-03-30 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Hurry up and thank Musashi-sama for getting you off work, Shishio. WHERE'S THE GRATITUDE.]

You don't get to call yourself the strongest till you beat me!

[He's waving his bokken, beckoning Shishio over as he readies his oar! HURRY AND PICK YOURSELF UP (haha get it).]

Yoooosh, let's do it! [AAAAND then there's a dust cloud as Musashi lunges in to battle Shishio (did he even wait? Nope). Congratulations, you unlocked the bonus random round with Musashi Miyamoto, totally the sexiest in the land I MEAN strongest in the land.]
nuemercy: (yell- i don't know where you're going)

[personal profile] nuemercy 2015-03-30 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
[LATER, OKAY, LATER!!! Shishiō's about to say something when Musashi suddenly DISAPPEARS INTO A DUST CLOUD, WHAT IS THIS NINJISTSU, and Shishiō immediately rolls away to try getting his weapon.

He sticks two fingers in his mouth and whistles, a short sound, but it's enough to catch his nue's attention. It comes running for him, sword in mouth-- ah, yes.]


Alright, now where are you?!

[He's not at all in battle attire but w/e. He holds his sword out, looking around to spot where Musashi lunged to-- don't be behind him, don't be behind him--]
nitenryu: (NO WAI)

[personal profile] nitenryu 2015-03-31 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[WHAT THE HELL THAT'S LIKE CHEATING??? DUDE??? PLEASE???

Which means this is totally better, he's going to attack two opponents both at once! WHATEVER.

By the way.

Musashi plays dirty so yes. He's totally behind him. He's swinging downwards to immobilise Shishio from behind!]
nuemercy: (sideeye- and I said)

[personal profile] nuemercy 2015-04-01 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Of course--

Thankfully, his keen animal senses sharp wit manages to make him turn on his heels just in time. The fight won't be over that quickly, but it's definitely a close call, and he swings his tachi (himself?) upwards to counter the blow.

Unfortunately, Shishiō was made to be light, so he needs to get away ASAP and initiate a blow of his own-- he backs off, blade scraping against Musashi's clubs/sticks/things, and he yells--]


Bite his ankles!

[THEY BOTH PLAY DIRTY HERE... once his nue jumps to bite Musashi's ankles, Shishiō will move in to try parrying away one of Musashi's weapons.]
unwielded: (Inquire)

it's time to d-d-duel!

[personal profile] unwielded 2015-03-30 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's hard to point a sword right in Tarou's face since he's like seven feet tall but he will oblige you with a fight, if you so desire it. ]

My, my, this is surprising. Raising a blade to Taroutachi, the sword made for the gods? [ He admires your spirit but his seven foot long blade isn't just for show you know? ]

Let us see how strong the strongest in the land really is. [ You've got some nerve walking into an encampment full of swords, bro. ]
nitenryu: (SUGOI)

PICKS UP MY CHILDREN'S CARD--i mean sword, yeah i totally meant that.

[personal profile] nitenryu 2015-03-30 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah actually, Musashi had to really point it up high. This is pretty cool though, because he's like a human version of Honda. Just annoyingly good looking. Fuck you!!! (Good thing he doesn't care enough about that.)]

Whoah! Sword of the gods, eh? If I best the sword of the gods, then I'll be strongest in the heavens too!

Okay, don't cry after this! [WHY are you taunting the sword you dumbass. He leaves no time to rush in and swing his double "blades" (what blades) down on Tarou.

Also if all the other swords want to fight, he would be stupid enough to take them all on AT THE SAME TIME. If Jirou bothered to get off his drunk ass too.]
unwielded: (Fight)

uh huh suuure

[personal profile] unwielded 2015-03-30 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Cry? Never. Taroutachi does not cry. Or that's what he wants people to think.

He's ready to parry those two swords however. He'll swing his seven foot long blade upward to strike at Musashi with a relatively fast counter. But of course oodachi's weren't meant for speed but power and width of attack. He'll easily throw the other back with a hefty continuation of his swing though. ]


Is this all? [ He doesn't sound too impressed but he won't belittle his opponent just yet! ]
nitenryu: (heh heh heh bring it!)

shhhh you saw nothing /jedi fingers

[personal profile] nitenryu 2015-03-31 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's okay, men can cry too, Taroutachi. Even swords...men. Get it. Don't cry over this bad pun either, Tarou.......]

Whoa--! [Musashi kicks back a bit, settling down into a ready stance as he checks out that giant blade, pretty much as huge as this HUGE GUY. No seriously, how does he fit under door frames?]

So that heavy blade ain't just for show, eh? You're pretty strong!

[But is he quick? Is what Musashi decided to leave out as he darts in around the back.]
