[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.]

kitchen, assuming au
She's just here to pick something up, and honestly, they're not all that different.
...Yes, even here, there are copious amounts of food just spread out in front of her to eat.]
Seriously? This looks like enough to feed an army!
[Or just Tenryuu, because restocking is important, and despite being a Light Cruiser, she has a big stomach.]
amazing
Well, it does feed an army. [ The sword spirit army, that is. From children to adults to elders, there's a wide range of tastes, so he'd matched that with variety. No use making food that people didn't like, that'd be so uncool. ]
Go on, get what you'd like. It's okay.
no subject
[She goes for the scrambled eggs first, quickly putting it with the toasted bread and eating it just like that, in one big gulp. The salad is defeated next, with fruits being guzzled in mere seconds.]
Mmm! Not bad! Thanks-- what's your name?
[Don't talk while you're eating, Tenryuu.]
no subject
But hey, she's cute. That wins her points. ]
Shokudaikiri Mitsutada, sword of Masamune Date. Yours?
no subject
Her eyepatch and her demeanor might be cool, but there he is-- the real thing--!!!]
The sword of the One-Eyed Dragon?!
[...She takes a moment to swallow the rest of the apple that's been stuck in her mouth.]
no subject
At your service. [ A wisp of playfulness creeps into his voice as he gets up from his chair to stand a respectful distance from her, leaning so very slightly against the table. ]
... please don't choke. [ He won't want to accidentally offend you. ]
no subject
I'm Tenryuu! ['Heavenly dragon'. Based off the river, but still. Perhaps that might clear things up a bit.] Nameship of the Tenryuu-class of Light Cruisers, member of the 2nd Destroyer Squadron!
[She might be trying too hard to sound impressive.]
I fight on the sea, while you guys fight on land.
no subject
Nice to meet you, Tenryuu. Can I call you Tenryuu-chan?
[ Look, she's cute, okay? From her, he gets the feeling that somehow he's supposed to have some sort of affiliation. ]
1/2
2/2
[They probably do, but honestly, that makes her feel like a little sister more than anything. She's terrifying, okay-- and could technically blow this place into bits, though the comparison is a bit unfair, since she's. A warship. Compared to a sword.
But she's one of the most useless Light Cruisers, while Mitsutada is a marginally less useful tachi.]no subject
Tenryuu-sama, I see. [ His voice is playful, though it hasn't gone off into total accidental flirting mode yet. ]
When you're done with the apple, mind giving me your plates? [ There's quite a few... ] I'll clean them for you.
[ Because he has the feeling that she might break more than just one. ]
no subject
[No, only Tenryuu is this much of a tryhard. Tatsuta's a lot more cooler, just by the fact that she's terrifying. Tenryuu blinks and looks down at her plates before stacking them and handing it all over.]
Isn't it supposed to be your break today? Why're you cooking?
[Then again, Mamiya never really had a break-- in fact, she was all the more busy when they could choose to visit her shop anytime rather than only at designated meal periods. She kinda doubts that Date Masamune's sword would have Mamiya's job, though.]
no subject
[ As he speaks, he removes his gloves and hangs them on a hook beside the sink, retrieving an apron from the hook beside it. Rolling up his sleeves, he gets to work. ]
Does anyone cook for your base? [ That was what it was called, right? ]
no subject
And Tenryuu still thinks copying is kinda cool, so. Welp.]
Yep, Mamiya. But we all help out when we can. My sister Tatsuta isn't bad either-- you almost match up to her standard! [That's a compliment. Maybe??? Yeah.] She's even made a few recipes of her own.
no subject
Ah, thank you. [ He pauses in washing to give her a smile. ] I'm glad you like it. [ For him, that's enough.
When she mentions her sisters, he becomes a bit more curious. He knew that ships had sisters, and swords did have brothers - but for most of the time he was always alone. The Toushirous were always a close-knit bunch, so he assumes that's how ships were as well. ]
Maybe we can trade recipes sometime. [ When they both weren't busy, but honestly that would be a stretch. ]
no subject
...Y-yeah. [How the hell is she supposed to respond to that?! Oh my god, just wash the fucking dishes. This is in no way her area of expertise, okay.]
Hah, maybe we can. I'm assuming you guys don't get as much seafood as we do, right?
no subject
Mm, it depends on the season. We tend the fields, so there's a stable source of staples, but anything extra like meat and fish, we have to import it. [ He really isn't sure how all this modern 2205 economics work, so. ] If it's the time where fish are plenty, we get it. If not, it's just poultry and the like.
[ Which means he has to change the menu, but hey. ]
THE MOOD WHIPLASH IS REAL
HOLY SHIT
Again, it depends. Kasen's the one who's better at it, but he complains whenever the tantous bug him to make it for them. I can do a few, mostly because they end up bugging me next.
[ This is said with a chuckle. He can't refuse that, can he. ]
no subject
[She waves her hands for a moment, recalling the first time she met with the 2nd Destroyer Division.] The ones in my division tried to stalk me all across the naval base once! From a restaurant to out in the city. I'd prefer to be bugged instead.
[Tbh, they were doing it because they thought she was a demon lady, but...]
no subject
He raises one neatly trimmed eyebrow when she speaks, but doesn't interrupt. ]
They aren't so bad. As long as you're reasonable with them, they'll like you.
[ More like adore since he's the only one who willingly makes them sweets, but details. ]
no subject
[...
You know, since she's restocked and all, there's one thing she's been meaning to try.]
Oi-- check this out. [She pulls a soulless katana from her hip.] Think I could spar anyone here if I only use this baby?
no subject
That... ah, I'd think you might want to ask beforehand. [ Since. Yknow. Soulless blades are... not a good sign around here. ] Some of the more old-fashioned ones might mind.
