open post, cuts ribbon to musebox proudly

[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.]
candlecutterpikachu: not in the fridge, we've all heard that joke (i'm pretty sure that giraffe doesn't fit)

shokudaikiri mitsutada | OTA, may be a bit slow

[personal profile] candlecutterpikachu 2015-03-28 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
kitchen;
Free days still mean work days for this particular tachi. Time off from battle is still not time to be wasted, merely spent on other productive things that needed to be done around the Citadel. Mitsutada is up early, making himself some coffee before settling down at one of the tables to warm his hands with the mug. It's been a while, and the other attendant spirits still haven't turned up, so he decides to do their job instead. There are a few new recipes that he had been thinking of trying, after all.

After about half an hour there's quite the spread on the tables - salad, fruits, scrambled eggs and cheese, accompanied by toasted bread and porridge. There's also tea, coffee, and some milk for the tantou kids. Not something you'd expect from Masamune's sword, eh? Said sword is currently sitting at the very end of the long table, sipping his coffee slowly.

"Help yourself, I can always make more."

storeroom;
Swords don't usually clean, but there are exceptions to any circumstance. Such as when one of Gokotai's tiger cubs pooped in one of the storerooms - someone has to clean it up. Rather unfortunately for everyone involved, said storeroom is one of the dustier ones.

"Tchoo!"

Was that a sneeze? Well, it certainly is, accompanied by the sound of several boxes tumbling to the ground. Oh dear.

TV room;
It's three in the afternoon, and the jiji swords have finally vacated the tv room after marathoning half a season of historical taiga dramas. The room seems to be empty for now, no voices, but it seems someone left the TV on. It's playing an episode from Hell's Kitchen, for some reason, and Gordon Ramsay seems to be yelling quite a lot.

Mitsutada is inside, and seems to be taking notes. Do you:
> Shake your head and leave
> Try to steal the remote and change the channel
> Join him
> Try to steal the notebook
> ?????

goneflagration: (action- fight)

Namazuo Toushirou; OU | OTA

[personal profile] goneflagration 2015-03-28 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
A; muffled metal gear ost

[You don't actually know what he's doing, but the point is, Namazuo is currently:

1. Outside the saniwa's room.
2. Dressed in all black instead of his usual casual outfit.
3. Has sunglasses on.

And his mission, since he's chosen to accept it, is to try sneaking into the saniwa's room and steal a helper token before running the hell out of there. (Hey, I wrote that suggestion in the post for a reason.) Why he's doing this isn't clear yet, but what is clear is how he turns around really quickly when you turn the corner and walk right into him.]


Eh?

[He doesn't manage to get a good look at whoever you are before he grabs you.]

Quick, hide!

[And then he pulls you into the saniwa's room with him, quickly pushing the door shut as he enters. Namazuo falls backwards and ducks under the desk immediately.

Maybe it's time for you to ask what the hell is going on.]


B; why is the armory fodder so cute

Hm, mhm-- wow, there's a lot of pretty golden ones today, aren't there?

[Using his time off a bit more wisely now, Namazuo's taking some of the resources in the armory to try forging a few of his own. It's not a bad effort but jesus fucking christ why are there so many spearmen and not shield soldiers, only like 3 swords can use spearmen, why this. In fact, what he says is true-- there's a lot of golden orbs today.

Maybe he's getting better. (Nah, the feng shui is just better today. Or the campaign is still ongoing.)]


Oh, I can't equip this one... [He turns to whoever else is there.] Hey, do you want to try using it instead?

C; the fucking tourabu battle ost sucks except for the boss ones

Hey, are you free?

[Namazuo's talking to you, and he's dressed in the uniform he wears for battle.] I'm going to take Matsukaze out on a resource run for exercise. Want to come along?
hoasen: (did I leave the cat in the oven...)

i can't believe; tv room

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-28 10:01 am (UTC)(link)
[It's one of those days where Vietnam visited Japan during an especially busy time. Which meant while he's off doing something, and with none of his usual helpers around, he's asked Vietnam to drop something off at the Citadel before she goes to do some sightseeing.

No big deal, she can do the thing.

So here she is with a giant box (what are there? Apparently they're "extra helper tokens", or so it was written on the box), and she's trying to find the Saniwa to give them to. After dropping off the box, she backtracks and spots the tv room.

And Hell's Kitchen on the screen.]


What a bold choice!
nuemercy: (casual- and we're starting at the end)

tv room... i apologize

[personal profile] nuemercy 2015-03-28 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
--Whoa!

[Shishiō barely has time to react as he opens the door to the TV room and hears Gordon Ramsay. What is that passionate yelling? What could it possibly be about??? This show must be intense as fuck.]

Now that's a battle cry!

[Only now does he notice Mitsutada.] Are you writing something?
heavenchimes: (donation boxes)

a?!

[personal profile] heavenchimes 2015-03-28 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Okuni, enemy of all swords because she probably has sent all their masters to the next world, was here at by request. Is she here to talk to the Saniwa? Maybe make a prediction or something? WHO KNOWS...

All we know is that suddenly she's been grabbed by this tiny tanto after bumping into him and is now hiding in the Saniwa's room?!]


Oh, how forward.
goneflagration: (resting face- what up)

more like 'ah...'

[personal profile] goneflagration 2015-03-28 10:08 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not a tantou?! He's a wakizashi!!! They're like, a bit longer than tantous, okay... that's why they finally got a separate name...]

Nn? [Once he realizes that this isn't anyone he recognizes, he isn't exactly sure what to say, but-- play it cool. Like nothing's the problem. This was totally part of the plan.]

--This can't be the first time someone's tried to catch your attention, right?

[NO, TOO SMOOTH, MOVING ON]

What are you here for?
candlecutterpikachu: (i want to do things with style!)

[personal profile] candlecutterpikachu 2015-03-28 10:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ Gordon Ramsay certainly is enthusiastic. A contestant on screen fumbles over some sauce while trying to follow his demonstration, and is met with a roar both intimidating and somehow encouraging. ]

Yes! Just look at him, all his passion put into the fine art of culinary pursuits! [ If this was a reality show, there would be sparkles coming out of the background now. ] He does things with fine style!

[ Oh, wait. ]

Don't you think he's cool? I'm trying to learn from him.

[ Except all he's written are cooking tips. ]
nuemercy: (happy- let's be alone together)

no, he's so cute, slay me

[personal profile] nuemercy 2015-03-28 10:16 am (UTC)(link)
[So enthusiastic...! Shishiō seems to be nodding along to each one of Mitsutada's words. (He's not really listening, only picking up on the other's excited tone. He probably doesn't realize this is a cooking channel yet.)]

This is the first time I've seen such strength on someone's words...! Quickly, do you have any spare paper? I'm gonna take notes too!

[But on something else entirely, oops.]
candlecutterpikachu: (i want to do things with style!)

I'm so gomen

[personal profile] candlecutterpikachu 2015-03-28 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mitsutada waits until the camera pans out before tearing his eye away from the screen - he didn't want to miss a single detail. His expression is all fired up, and the notebook open on his lap is filled with words. ]

Very bold indeed! Ramsay-san is an excellent role model. Look at how he conducts himself on the job - exuberant, daring, and with style!

[ Grown-up shonen protag right here. ]
heavenchimes: (vision)

yes good say ahhhh

[personal profile] heavenchimes 2015-03-28 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow what's the difference, like she cares--NO I'M KIDDING he'll be a cute tanto in her eyes forever. Wakizashi's need to look like Nikkari. Even though he used to be an odachi but details.

Wow that was too smooth?! Not bad at all, she needs to come here more often.]


It certainly hasn't, but it's the first time someone like you has. [WINK.]

I'm here to find the Saniwa, but look at this, you've dragged me in here. Once you finish hidin' and spyin', why won't you give me a tour?
hoasen: (hmm?)

R U REALLY omg this shounen protag is so cute

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-28 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
Excuse me... [A quiet warning before she enters. She wanders in, finding a spot to sit down. Somehow, with his energy and enthusiasm, she's not surprised that someong like Gordon Ramsay caught his attention.]

And very raw in his emotions. That's the kind of honesty you are seeking when it comes to cooking?

[She knows he's studying, everyone does, there's a notebook in his lap.]
candlecutterpikachu: (thanks amy) (my shoelaces are cool!)

so dumb

[personal profile] candlecutterpikachu 2015-03-28 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ The screen pans out to show two teams of chefs cooking furiously. Gordon Ramsay and his assistants are striding along the two long benches, giving commentary and scolding a left and right. ]

Sure, here. [ He tears a piece from his notebook and retrieves a pen from his jacket pocket before passing both to Shishio. ] Learn from the masters, that's what we should do.
nuemercy: (yell- i don't know where you're going)

being dumb is adorable, though

[personal profile] nuemercy 2015-03-28 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks!

[Shishiō looks down the very moment the camera angle pans out to show the actual food, now only able to hear Gordon Ramsay's yelling. He writes down notes furiously--]

...Make sure to use exaggerated hand gestures! Put your whole being into it! Pepper your speech with food analogies-- haha, I'm already doing it!

[Pause.]

Wait, what?
goneflagration: http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=48815991 (smile- muacks)

ahhHHHH

[personal profile] goneflagration 2015-03-28 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow, too cruel. He's bigger than his brothers, okay?! And yeah, he's unfairly smooth. When he isn't just... dicking around and collecting horse shit or something. Or in battle.]

Talking like this in the saniwa's room-- I guess we're both daring here, aren't we?

[He takes this opportunity to snatch a helper token from one of the Saniwa's drawers. Welp.]

I'd be happy to! I'm Namazuo Toushirou. [Now you know which name to report when the Saniwa asks for who the hell stole one helper token out of his stash of hundreds.] Nice to meet you, miss...?
heavenchimes: (ready)

FEEDS

[personal profile] heavenchimes 2015-03-28 10:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Fine, he's bigger than his brothers. But is he bigger than her? IS HE? And good thing she doesn't know he's gross yet.]

Ooh, it really is, I wonder how much trouble we can get into. [Nevermind she was invited. Shhh.

Now, what was that he just took? How naughty!]


It's nice to meet you, Namazuo Toushirou. [Makes note to either tell on him or keep him at her services too. (Wait)

She makes a lovely, graceful low bow, almost like she's dancing.]
I am Izumo no Okuni.
splendour: (on the path ahead)

gracia (au) | ota

[personal profile] splendour 2015-03-28 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
a: A IS FOR AMNESIACS
[ based off this premise!

what do you do when the supposed daughter of one mitsuhide akechi from another world somehow ends up in the citadel without any memory of who she is and where she'd been before coming here? ...the answer is, of course, to keep her, because she isn't the first nor the last of amnesiacs here in the citadel and she's helpful against enemies with her special magical fighting skills!!

but you might be regretting this decision when she ends up in front of you, sparkling. ]


What's your name? What can you do? Tell me!

b: FRIENDSHIP IS PAIN
[ or maybe she's exploring and, at her insistence that you're friends, you've decided to go along with her...

(did she say something about lands of hellish agony, maybe)

looking all around her, Gracia finally turns to her companion. ]


Hmm. Which way should we go?
candlecutterpikachu: (thanks amy) (my shoelaces are cool!)

he is cute and nerdy and dumb

[personal profile] candlecutterpikachu 2015-03-28 11:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hm, that's a good question - enough to catch his attention and not have him glue himself to the screen again. ]

I would not say raw in emotion, purely. Look at his pieces, his works of art. Each and every one of them are arranged in exactly the way they should be, precision given from. The passion that lets him do it, that is what I want to learn.

[ Ramsay-senpai please teach him...! ]
candlecutterpikachu: not in the fridge, we've all heard that joke (i'm pretty sure that giraffe doesn't fit)

[personal profile] candlecutterpikachu 2015-03-28 11:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mitsutada also scribbles something down, though he's noting what Gordon Ramsay actually says. Don't add vinegar to teriyaki, etc, etc... ]

What?

[ Is something wrong? ]
hoasen: (cloudless)

the cutest...

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-28 11:11 am (UTC)(link)
[OH...WHAT A FAN. She's never realised he's such a cooking fan either. She does nod though, because she did catch some episodes before.]

A true professional! The way you describe him is very inspiring. Have you made anything from his cookbooks?

[She wonders if he ordered any from the mystic internet.]
reprizesal: (The flowers of Udonge...)

[personal profile] reprizesal 2015-03-28 11:16 am (UTC)(link)
TV ROOM
[It seems like someone left the TV on, along with one of the consoles turned on and a game playing on the screen. The screen shows the main menu, waiting for the player(s) to pick a mode to play with.

Sayo is in the room, holding up a controller and pressing the buttons. While the technology was explained to him before, he never really get around to use these gaming consoles. He looks up at the screen, wondering which one to go for. 1 player mode? Multiplayer? But that means getting another sword to play with him...
]

Smithy
[The smithy always rouse some curiosity from him. Whenever he walked in this corridor, Sayo would stopped and look inside the smithy to see the blacksmith hard at work in forging their newest comrade. Or another copy of a current sword, as awkward as it would be sometimes.

So anyone walking past would see a small tanto standing there and looking inside.
]

Repair Room
[He's a tanto, why is he damaged...!?

Actually, not that odd really. Sayo have taken some damage from the latest sortie and was promptly sent to the repair room upon their return. Fortunately, as a tanto, it shouldn't take him that long to get tended to compared to other sword types (stares at tachis...). So he's sitting here obediently and allow himself to get repaired and cleaned, which anyone can see if they look or walk in.

If they do, Sayo would look over at them with a blink, Oh, hi.

DUMB HOUSEWIFE

[personal profile] candlecutterpikachu 2015-03-28 11:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ A true professional indeed. He'd managed to get famous even from cooking... to Mitsutada, that's very impressive. ]

No, I haven't. [ It's a shame, but. ] Those things are hard to come by. I mostly just take his tips and apply it to what I usually make.

[ To turn them cooler, of course! Plus, aesthetic isn't something that can be copied. It must be practiced and honed. ]
hoasen: (renewal)

be her housewife--wait

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-28 11:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Mitsutada, to be impressed by that, you are truly...

...a nerd. It's endearing though?!]


Really? I can get you some. All of them, I think. [Give her a moment to take out her phone, she has a Japanese plan for ease of use whenever she comes over. Time to use her data.] Are you self teaching using his techniques? I noticed you taking notes.

Please excuse me for this... [She's tapping her screen, so it looks a little rude.] And there, it is done. I ordered for you a selection of his books.
candlecutterpikachu: (did i leave the laundry out)

more like butler

[personal profile] candlecutterpikachu 2015-03-28 11:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's true, he is a nerd. His appearance may be immaculately maintained, but the coolness of that impression is always shattered the moment he opens his mouth. Thus his efforts to constantly improve himself - while it didn't always hit the mark, at least it was a work in progress. ]

You... what?

[ He looks up from the screen, surprise written evidently on his expression. It takes him about three seconds to collect himself; upon which: ]

Vietnam-san, you really didn't have to!
hoasen: the drink was originally green now it's coffee cos why not! (sips furiously)

yes be her butler 5eva

[personal profile] hoasen 2015-03-28 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hey, she thinks he's cool! Then again her definition of cool isn't what the school grounds would consider cool. She's categorised: there's idol cool, and then there's humble cool. He fits the latter even though he looks like the former.

She pockets her phone, looking rather coolly about this. In other words, it's no big deal.]


I did. [A nod when he finally looks up.] I didn't have to either, but I wanted to. If you are so passionate about it, [A small gesture towards his notes.] then I am sure my investment will be worth the effort. It will arrive tomorrow.
realmenknitplushies: (43.)

So I was told sword AUs were cool? Kanji Tatsumi/"Futsu-no-Mitama", OTA.

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2015-03-28 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a myth from the earliest days of Japan: that of the thunder-god, Take-Mikazuchi, sending a sword to the first emperor of the young nation to aid him in his conquests... since then, the divine blade has lain in the god's shrine, kept safe.

That's the story, anyway.

Because Futsu-no-Mitama himself isn't about to confirm or deny what's what - he's not even owning up to who he is to anyone who doesn't recognise his blade self, and who'd have thought a big, rough guy like him was something like that? In fact, he's mostly trying to wrap his head around the modern world. ...And around what the modern world calls "polite".

Smithy:

The technology is definitely different than it'd been in his era, thousands of years ago, but the principle's the same, and he's always been interested in the creative process... so here, he's investigating, examining the equipment with a delighted smile on his face. So if that goes there, and those shiny things do that...

Kitchen:

Looking for a taste of home, here, but he's not having much success. At least there's some things that look familiar, and rice isn't going to change much in any era, but these "cakes" and "pies" and all the rest?
...well, maybe that thing with the fruit might be worth a try. Hmm.
