Event Eight.
 | |
The heart's dearest solace will smile on me there. No more from the cottage again will I roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. | |
Welcome to Awash's eighth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. | |
he Town is quiet this week. No sudden quests on the forum post, no roars of werewolves in the distance... just peaceful, peaceful quiet. Of course, it's
no subject
Okuni takes the opportunity as soon as it presents itself, kicking out with her legs to LAUNCH HERSELF THROUGH THE AIR hands out stretched to tackle Mutsu
hopefully the door to the room Mutsu wanted to Avoid is sturdy enough to endure two people crashing into it, because if not, then well -- HERE THEY ARE]
There!!
[Okuni is TRIUMPHANT!! too triumphant to properly gauge her surroundings, but still TRIUMPHANT]
no subject
(Of course the door isn't strong enough. It wasn't even strong enough for one of them. Even if the citadel is nice, it's still government housing at the end of the day, huh?
The room they bust into is considerably different in design. Even if the exact details are fuzzy, it's obviously western. Congrats, Okuni, you chased Mutsu all the way to the saniwa's room.)
Ow, ow... (Trying to get himself up but... he has someone on him, ugh.) Get off already! You're heavy.
(Did he call her fat.)
1/2
Okuni bops him on the head with her FIST for that!!! a hit mutsu can surely take]
The loser doesn't have any right to complain!
no subject
What is this place? What are those?
[GEARS??? The giant globe in the corner snags her attention, and off she goes to inspect it.]
What's this?
no subject
What loser--!?
(She jumps off of him and he's picking himself up, fixing his clothes and hair on the floor while she walks around and checks out the new room. Rubbing his head,)
Master's room. (Ugh. He's finally picking himself up off the ground and coming over to check out the globe. Just a normal globe!) It's the world.
(Giving it a slow spin, he points to a certain spot on it,)
That's Japan. Pretty small compared to everything else, huh?
no subject
Okuni's eyes are riveted on the globe, especially when Mutsu starts spinning it and points to Japan???]
Eh, no way!! It's too small! [She's seen maps of all kinds before, but this??] Where's Oumi? Lake Biwa?
[But even as she says that, her gaze wanders over to the other countries.]
...I had no idea that the world was so big! Where's... um -- [what the fck was that western country called again] Por...tugal? Portugal!
no subject
(He's proud and maybe a little smug about showing off what he knows. It's his way of getting back after being tackled and taken down. he has to bring himself up some how! But Oumi? Is that where she's from?
But let's see... He gives it another turn and points over to a little country out in Europe,)
Right here! (And pointing a little up north,) And this here's Holland! (Moving around,) Then ya got France and Britain and then over here ya got this big one, Russia...
(He's getting excited. He! Loves! The world!)
no subject
She's definitely aware of other countries, her own curiosity about practically everything can't stop her from thinking about them, but never has it been really put into perspective.
Okuni's opinion of Mutsu rises higher the more he says??? He clearly knows a lot?? She's IMPRESSED... what's Holland?? France???]
There are so many! [so many.... COUNTRIES???] I've never even heard of most of them...!
[She can at least recognize China and Korea and the aforementioned Portugal and such, but!!!]
How did you learn about the world? Did you travel to all those places?
no subject
Almost two hundred!
(Almost. He can't remember the exactly how many countries there are but that sounds about right.)
My last master taught me. (He grins, giving the globe one dramatic spin just to show off the whole world.) He wanted to open up Japan to other countries. Take the best ideas from other places and use 'em to make Japan even better.
(He points to one country to the east of Japan, a giant one called America,)
Like this one right here. It's supposed to be a place where everyone is equal. Where ya aren't defined by the class your born into and even a poor man can become a rich one. A farmer can become a general and a merchant can become a leader!
(It's not a perfect country-- no country is-- but he likes the idea all the same.)
I've never left Japan but I will some day! The world that Ryouma never got to see... I'll see it all!
(Casually name drops his old master while getting excited about dreams.)
no subject
Her eyes naturally follow along to where he's pointing, looking at the strangely shaped place that is so vastly different from the Japan she knows, apparently.
"where ya aren't defined by the class your born into"
A sentiment she rarely ever hears from anyone, even from Baren and her, but one she's recently heard herself from someone here...
"Help people realize there's a big world out there outside of Japan. Help people feel like they can do somethin' regardless of whatever class they were born into."]
...Hmm, if it's that person, then that definitely sounds like a dream of his.
[Opening Japan up, using it to make it better.]
By Ryouma -- you mean Sakamoto-san, yes?
[she's just going to FLAT OUT ASK HIM]
no subject
That's right. (Even if it's more complicated than that. The Ryouma in Chroma isn't the Ryouma he belonged too. But still, he's proud that she knows exactly who he's talking about. The most important person in his world, the one who shaped his spirit into what it is today,) Ya met him?
The guy ya met... is a little different from the one I know. (More than a little but what does he really know right now?) There're a lot of worlds out there some of 'em are the same and some are a little different.
no subject
but
alright
hold up
HOLD UP]
. . .
[HOLD!!! UP!!!!]
So, he's not the person you mentioned, but he also is. But he's not because he's from a different... world? [.......] Like how this world is a different one from ours?
[SWEATS RAPIDLY, TRIES TO GET IT]
no subject
It's weird.
( He doesn't even really know how to explain it. )
Ya know there are a lot of us from "Japan," right? But if ya start talking to everyone... things don't match up. Events happen in the past that never happened and there are things that weren't there before. ( Wars that never happened, worlds that are convinced demons and spirits aren't real. ) You and me are both from Japan but I bet if we really started talking, something wouldn't sound right at all and that's cause we're talking about different Japans.
( Did he explain that right? Hmm. He's still figuring it out, )
But some things are the same 'cause it's still Japan. The country's still closed off, the emperor loses power and the shogun rises... The same names show up but sometimes they aren't the same guy...
I dunno. ( He's still spinning this globe, almost anxiously now. It bothers him! It makes things really complicated!!! ) It's a lot to figure out!
no subject
Mm, it sounds like a made-up story, but... [BUT it's not as if she's ever actually asked anyone about their home yet. Perhaps there were differences there that could only come from another world.] You've already told me a lot of impossible-sounding things.
[And Mutsu doesn't seem like the type who'd play the long con?? for what purpose anyway??]
The Sakamoto-san here can't be all that different if you like him so much.
[She can just tell Mutsu likes him by that BIG OLE SMILE HE HAD ON HIS FACE]
no subject
The globe stops and he let's it go for now. He's not so unaware that he can't realize that might be annoying. He must like the Ryouma in this world, though? Even it's true, it startles him to have someone else point it out. He does like him. Even if they aren't the same, he admires him and he's resolved to stay by his side as long as he's here.
After the surprise wears off, what's left is a solemn sort of humility, something that is both certain and not. )
It's like distant family. ( Yeah, ) Even if he's from far away, he's still family, ya know?
( The same that will eventually give him away but it seems like his heart is still loyal to his first and only family. )
no subject
Of course, [What would she do if she met an alternate version of Baren?] I'd say the same if I met a different version of my brother.
[She can't actually imagine an alternate Baren at all... When you're so co-dependent on family that the fact they could be different escapes your imagination entirely.]
no subject
But not one to stay down for long, he laughs when Okuni mentions a brother, )
Ya got a brother? If there's another version of him, there's gotta be another you to go with him. ( GA HA HA ) Talk about a scary thought!
( One Okuni is enough. )
no subject
She'll still be offended at this though, thanks Mutsu!!!]
Hmph, how rude! [ONE OKUNI IS TRULY ENOUGH THOUGH....] The same goes for you, you know! I bet there's a version of you out there who isn't easily embarrassed and can express his feelings honestly no matter who asks!
no subject
( Because it's just an ordinary sword that came with that Ryouma and not a touken danshi like he is. But also because Mutsu has come along way in all of these centuries. From a new and impressionable spirit to the manifestation of people's ideas of Ryouma!
And he gives that globe one last good spin to emphasize the fact he definitely told some sort of joke, even if it's an inside one. )
See? I'm already an honest guy so ya don't need anymore of me.
no subject
then reaches over to tug on his hair ponytail in revenge, THERE!!!]
One of you is certainly enough!
[#Mature]
im mad that i have an icon for this
(What the actual heck? He just lets himself get tugged because?? Why?)
Careful, careful! (Let go of him? Be gentle?!) I'm a treasure, ya know!
it's perfect i love it
Is that so? [HMMM] But, I think even a treasured tsukumogami needs to be properly punished every now and then, don't you?
[SHOW HER PROOF THAT UR A TREASURE MUTSU]
no subject
(There's no logic here and he's backing away and going around the Saniwa's desk.......)
Where're ya getting these crazy ideas?!
no subject
Okuni circles around Saniwa's desk at exactly the same time, so now they're just circling vultures.]
This is for your own good! Now, stay still...!
no subject
What good?!
(He's trying to change his direction a few times from the left-right to see if he can get away from Okuni this way...)
