[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.]

No. It can't be helped. This place is not fit for one such as I.

[ He sounds a bit...down. But he's okay he'll just go and get situated in the corner of the room that's not filled with things. His own true body being brought with him takes up just as much room as himself. But Taroutachi will watch impassively as the other goes about to putting things away. He'd offer to help but it might just lead to more work in the end. ]

My, my this is quite the feast you've prepared though.

[ It's honestly a shame that the larger odachis can't fit through many of the halls. It did make sense, though - when the Saniwas first started summoning, they called up the smaller swords first. Taroutachi's size was completely unexpected - while there were some accommodations made, it evidently isn't enough.

There are a few stray bottles and boxes still lying around, so he sets them in their right places as well. He replies while working - it's a good thing that he's tall enough to reach the higher shelves. ]


Well, I figured I'd make breakfast for everyone. [ Taroutachi can't see it, but he's smiling to himself. ] No one is up yet, and if they had to make their own they won't have a lot of time to themselves.

[ Cooking is a much more complicated affair than it looks, honestly. ]
