[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.]

MARIO PARTY THREAD, LET'S GO

[personal profile] nuemercy 2015-03-28 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
--Oooh! That's my favorite game!

[It probably isn't and Shishiō's mistaken, but whatever. He sits right down next to Sayo, nue hopping off his shoulders to curl around his legs.] Let's play multiplayer! There's another remote here, right?

[And perhaps someone else walks in at those moment to join in... or maybe they can just play with each other.]

How many players does it say we can have?
saigomade: (つーかまーえたっ!)

SLIDES IN TOO

[personal profile] saigomade 2015-03-28 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Have Imanotsurugi hear the conversation and trot by, plopping himself on Sayo's other side. ]

Can you fit three? I wanna join, too!

[ More fun than bouncing around on the beds, surprisingly. He kept getting kicked out by the older swords. ]
reprizesal: (I don't understand that...)

HELLO THIS WON'T END BADLY AT ALL

[personal profile] reprizesal 2015-03-29 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Sayo blinks and look at both swords sitting next to each other. Huh, they want to play? He nods and gets up to grab the other remote from the white stands. Charging station, is it?]

I think we can have...four players.

[Perfect number for the friendship ruining game. Sayo returns with two remotes to give to both Shishiou and Imanotsurugi. He holds them out to them.]

Here.

Oya? You all seem rather excited.

[He puts down his gohei by the side and examines the strange light box, and the strange tools that the other three were holding. Is this some sort of sacred mirror for some new-age ritual?]

I am curious to what these are for.
nuemercy: (smirk- they love it more when it's broke)

Sayo > Ishikirimaru > Shishio > Imanotsurugi?

[personal profile] nuemercy 2015-03-29 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh!!! Ishikirimaru speaks like an old man and says boring things a lot, but he's still cool in Shishiō's books. So he grabs a controller and hands it to Ishikirimaru.]

They're for playing a game! For bonding! Teamwork!

[Ah, someone has a terribly skewed idea of Mario Party if he thinks it'll bond them and make them work as a team. Perhaps in team mode...? Nah, even then...]
sacredstoneslicer: (腫れ物でもできたかな?)

fine with me!

[personal profile] sacredstoneslicer 2015-03-29 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
[What a confusing, and colorful-looking tool. There are raised and knobby bits everywhere, could they hold some kind of meaning like the zigzagging of shide paper meant to resembled lightning? How about the colours?]

A game, huh. This is quite the interesting ritual equipment. How do you use this?

[A? B? Z? What powers do these symbols possess?]
saigomade: (みてのとおり、ぼくはてんぐなんですよ。)

shou, i was supposed to be next

[personal profile] saigomade 2015-03-29 11:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Imanotsurugi receives the remote from Sayo and immediately begins fiddling with it, pressing buttons at random. ] Ooh, this looks so cool! I wonder what it does?

[ When Ishikirimaru comes in, he looks up to give the odachi a friendly wave. ]

It's a sort of shiny toy, I think. You're supposed to, uh - [ quick where's the manual ] - press buttons to play... the game?

[ ??? ]
reprizesal: (The flowers of Udonge...)

at least i'm still up

[personal profile] reprizesal 2015-03-29 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sayo nods and press a button. Hm, seems like his remote is the "leader"? AKA Player 1.]

You press the buttons and they do things in the game.

[At least based on what he observed and fiddle with. Hm, looks like there's the multiplayer mode's options.]

Are you going to play, Ishikirimaru-san?

[Sayo's curious. Is it more fun with more people?]
nuemercy: (smile- i don't know where I'm going)

DO WE CHANGE THE ORDER w/e ishikirimaru can go next

[personal profile] nuemercy 2015-03-29 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shishiō mashes some buttons, until he's registered as Player 2.] Only Player 2? It'd be better if I was in control over the main screen...

[But the next best thing is to bark orders at Sayo and hope he follows through on them!!]

Click the multiplayer! Party Mode! And choose the haunted house! The haunted house is always the best!

[Ah, he's passionate about this, okay...]
sacredstoneslicer: (祓いたまえ……清めたまえ……)

[personal profile] sacredstoneslicer 2015-03-29 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I see... Quite an odd device.

[Bleep. Player 3. What strange things young people make to pass the time.

Haunted house? A place full of malicious spirits is terribly impure.]


Purify and cleanse.

[Looks like anyone can't take the Shinto priest out of him, even when he's off-duty.]
saigomade: (やすんじゃだめですかぁ…?)

[personal profile] saigomade 2015-03-29 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Most of it kind of flies over Imanotsurugi's head - except the haunted house bit.

He tries to press the 'back' button, sighing as 'Player 4' pops up on the screen. ]


Why the haunted house? [ It's scary! Or something... ]
reprizesal: (I don't understand that...)

[personal profile] reprizesal 2015-03-30 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Sayo follows Shishiou's orders quite obediently, because hey, he didn't see any reason NOT to.

Multiplayer -> Party Mode -> Haunted House.

Set...

He pause and looks over at Imanotsurugi.
]

...Do you want to pick something else? [Haunted houses aren't that scary! In this vengeful sword's mind.]
nuemercy: (smirk- they love it more when it's broke)

[personal profile] nuemercy 2015-03-30 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
Awww, is the little sword scared of a haunted house?

[Shishiō seems to ignore Ishikirimaru's rather worrying devotion to his duty, instead focusing on Imanotsurugi.] Don't worry, Shishiō-sama will protect you from the spirits in the game! --By the way, don't choose the turtle with a hammer! That's mine!

[Of course Shishiō goes for the Hammer Bro, it's the unlockable character, so therefore it's 100% more important and precious.]
sacredstoneslicer: (おや?)

[personal profile] sacredstoneslicer 2015-03-30 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, am I supposed to pick one of these people?

[He hovers over Yoshi or Luigi. Dragons, even though he was a dinosaur...thing were a symbol of strength?

He feels the generation gap, or rather the generation chasm.]
saigomade: (Default)

[personal profile] saigomade 2015-03-30 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Imanotsurugi's pointer immediately goes over Toad. ]

I'm picking this one! Shishio-san, you better keep your promise!

[ Little does he know... ]
reprizesal: (The flowers of Udonge...)

[personal profile] reprizesal 2015-03-31 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sayo is looking at either Daisy or Boo. But he eventually selects Daisy as his character.]

I'm choosing her.

[Now to wait for Ishikimaru's choice.]
nuemercy: (sarcastic- for one more troubled soul?)

[personal profile] nuemercy 2015-03-31 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[The funny thing is, Shishiō and Imanotsurugi might actually be older/as old as Ishikirimaru... or something? Fuck, idk how old these assholes are, I just know CCO's around 1k+ years old by this point.]

Psst, choose the pink one! [He means Birdo, btw.] It's an old war goddess!

[No, that's bullshit?! Don't listen to him--]

See? The nose is shaped like a cannon!
sacredstoneslicer: (参拝客が来ないというのは)

[personal profile] sacredstoneslicer 2015-04-14 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[The man with the green hat seems closer to home. With a digital ping, he makes his choice.]

There is a first time for everything, I suppose.
