[ hello swiends (sword friends)! sometime after the three npcs have been introduced, a tsurumaru will suddenly appear in front of you and... well, more or less kidnaps you.

this will happen enough times until there is now a small group on the sportsball court. lili is here too, because neither tsurumaru nor ookurikara would have thought there was anything wrong with this. ]

We should all probably talk before people start killing each other, right?

[ no one has any hope this won't turn into murder it's fine ]

[unfriendliest]

At least the three of us were in the same place. That'll save us some time.

[ he sighs, and looks at tonbo. ]

Did you break, too?

[ please tell him that uno sword survived. ]

[coastal]

[she is

just here

still staring them all down, it's fucking dumb, she's not explaining why she's present even tho she isn't a sword]

And I don't care if you want to hide your teams for now - [and only for now] - but are the powers you were given offensive? I find it hard to believe we're meant to be peaceful if people are bestowed with the ability to harm others.

[daifukus]

[ he's just wincing at both Tsuru and Kara? it's fine. he's absolutely Fine. ]

I was.... unable to return, yes. [ there's a wholeass long story there, clearly ]

[ to Lili:] but mine is not.

[okitactless]

It's not offensive, exactly...

[He's thinking about it seriously, for once in his life.]

...but it could be used like that.

[preowned]

... not directly, I think.

[ he shrugs. ]

Nothing like what I had last time.

[unfriendliest]

You already know mine is.

[okitactless]

Why does everyone assume we'll kill each other?

[says

yasusada

of all swords]

[unfriendliest]

Because that's what happened last time.

[ KEEP UP, YAMS, IT'S A MURDERGAME. ]

[preowned]

... well, I guess there's a chance nothing will happen, but we shouldn't be surprised if someone ends up dead.

w0, monday

[daifukus]

[ so i suppose the sportsball field is just now the sword hangout spot cause here they are again. while the others do... whatever they're doing (sparring? fighting?? getting stuck to each other in awkward spots??? hm, weird!)

tonbo will be here, sighing forlornly. you would think he'd be fine without nikkari after spending 73 years and two months together in each others company and yet here he is, pouting into his hand because his bae isn't here. what a loser. please push him into the dirt. ]

[coastal]

[hilariously i actually wanted a pc with you for today so this is convenient - but presumably kara and lili made daifuku at some point today! so she's going to walk over with a plate of it but

instead of handing it over]

Trade you daifuku for an explanation of your maidenly sighing.

[daifukus]

[ god bless doing two things in one. anyways, daifuku...........!! he looks so excited to see his favorite treat.

but, ah. talk about getting caught being gross in public. tonbo laughs just a little sheepishly, looking down at his hands ]

I suppose I miss my beloved.

[coastal]

[SHE GASPS

EXCITEDLY

sits down next to him and puts the daifuku plate between them]

Beloved?! You have a lover?!

[FINALLY SOMEONE SHE CAN FUCKING TALK TO ABOUT THIS THAT ISN'T TSURUMARU]

w0 wednesday

[okitactless]

[I'm fuckin tired but I'll forget if I don't do this now so

KNOCK KNOCK SWORD MEETING on the sportsball court I guess this is what we're doing now. He clears his throat!!]

Tonbokiri-san and I were talking, and we realized our memories of the Citadel are different. [Looking at Ookurikara and Tsurumaru specifically here!!!] Will you tell us what the last thing you remember was?

[coastal]

[lili is pointedly going to be spending this meeting saying literally nothing and eating snacks and glancing once and just once at tsuru and then resuming her eating snacks

bye]

[unfriendliest]

Mikazuki was from a different citadel, too. We [ glances at tsuru ] just left for the Enkyou mission before coming to the village.

[ except that tsuru is a LIAR ]

[daifukus]

[ hold the goddamn time travel device ]

.........A different citadel?

[unfriendliest]

[ nodding. ]

We had the chance to visit each other's worlds, at the end. The layout was a little different, and - I don't think their saniwa had summoned as many swords yet.

[preowned]

[ ha..............................

tsuru just listens to kara? he has no reason to interrupt when kara is talking??? POINTEDLY DOES NOT LOOK AT LILI DURING THIS TSURU REFUSES TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION WITH AN AUDIENCE ]

Mm...

w2 thursday

[okitactless]

[SWORD MEETING without Wei Wuxian this time, god. You all suck. Let Yasu have friends.

No okay SPEAKING OF YASUSADA, when he arrives (how do they call these meetings this is so stupid), his clothes look. Hm. Well, it's obvious he at least tried to wash them?? But he most likely just tried to do it in the lake, because it's pretty obvious that they'd bloodstained now. Fun. He's also got his sword arm bandaged, which is visible because whatever injured him got his sleeve, too. Now that I think about it the sleeve should be missing but whatever.

Most importantly, he's holding something in his hands, and only once everyone arrives does he set it down.

It's a small model-size version of a sword.

Well then.]

[unfriendliest]

[ entirely ignoring yams' whole appearance because yams is just like that so this tracks, kara just eyes the model sword. ]

...Nikkari Aoe?

[ explain. ]

[okitactless]

[Yasusada shakes his head a little.]

I can't say where I found it. Dick-san and Sanji-kun don't want anyone getting hurt. [Since by now they all know the consequences about oversharing.] But it was--part of an illusion. Lili-kun was right.

[She did warn him, after all, that they would do things like that.

He also has a little Souji doll on his bed now but no one needs to know that.]

...I just thought the rest of you should have it.

[If it were Horikawa, or Kanesada, or Nagasone, then he'd probably tell them, but he'd keep it himself. He refuses to think about what he'd do if it had been Kashuu.]

[daifukus]

[ WOW GUESS WHO GOES ALL COLD AND QUIET AT THE SIGHT OF HIS (poked sized) BELOVED. Best start explaining Yams before he goes to wring npc necks ]

What happened?

[okitactless]

[Does Yasusada even know they're together, I genuinely don't know. HE DOESN'T PAY ATTENTION TO ANY OF Y'ALL'S WISTFUL SIGHING he's too busy drawing Kashuu in sword form on cookies

But he can, at least, recognize the look on Tonbokiri's face--he doesn't want to say too much, but he'll do what he can.]

We-- we thought we'd found their bodies. His, and Okita-kun, and Zelos-san--ah, he was from the castle, and... someone else? I didn't recognize them. [He shakes his head a little.] We had to fight for real to get out--oh, not them--[which is probably obvious because Yasusada would be in MUCH WORSE shape if he'd had to fight Okita]--but something ended the fight, and when we woke up I had these. So it wasn't real.

[But still.]
