[look it's one layer and it's hard to fuck up a robe but yea taking it off is gonna be tsuru's problem

he looks faintly amused]


Certainly not the same as your cycles... but long enough. Time was hard to gauge, especially for one such as myself.

We filled most of the time talking. He possesses quite the inquisitive mind.
unsaid: (☾ so let's talk until then)

Ha ha ha... That is true, that is true.

[he smiles faintly]

When I think of family.... I do think of him. It is an odd concept for a sword, perhaps... but we are not only swords any more.

Ha ha ha… it is true that there a swords who form strong attachment to their masters, which further informs their personality. Objects are the vessels of emotions, after all.

But I am an old man… and I have passed down many hands indeed. Even if I do possess fondness for those hands who used to hold me… it is my current master who I hold most loyalty to.

[a beat, followed by a soft laugh, warm and slightly rueful]

He is the reason I am here, after all.

[he smiles faintly at that]

Aruji is the one and the same. He gave us these bodies and hearts, sends us upon our missions to protect history, and is the one who has been taken from our Citadel.

And to me, he is...

[ . . . he wonders how to articulate this. what this sage could mean, to an ancient sword?]

... A reason to exist.
unsaid: (☾ that doesn't have an end)

... well, I am over a thousand years old.

[enough people have told mikazuki that living forever sounds like hell.

he can't always disagree.]

[so funny

but mikazuki smiles faintly at that]


Do not misunderstand... there is enough in my life that I consider an honor to behold. I am pleased that even in these years, I get to meet people like you and others here. I hold all of you dear. I have promised my crane my future, and to be with him for as many days as we are given - it sounds like more than enough reason to live.

[ . . . ]

But it remains that without my master, I would not have this opportunity. Neither would any other sword you've met, or may ever meet.
unsaid: (☾ i lose sight of it)

[yea gay!

but mikazuki will be happy to take on the other line of conversation, thoughtful]


... indeed. He is a sage who can grant objects these forms - and send us on missions through time.

The Nightman must have some hold, to be able to keep him captive.

[mikazuki will take it! and also for the record he's also completely changed out of his outfit into a different one

he looks tired and. a little pale,]


Yoo Joonghyuk has already stabbed me upon recovering his memories.

[which he actually doesn't sound mad about or anything so]
unsaid: (☾ the wind;)

[personal profile] unsaid 2022-07-24 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. Or rather, my crane and Shinobu Kocho did.

[fairly easily]

I do not know if I particularly believe in karma... but I am understanding of my consequences.
unsaid: (☾ our life believing in ourselves)

[personal profile] unsaid 2022-07-24 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Ha ha ha....

[he laughs and. pauses after to catch his breath stop that]

Have you not heard? The shadow is me, and it is not me.... At the very least, some parts happened due to my own person.

But you do not need to worry. I do not particularly feel regret for what transpired today... and perhaps that is my true fault.

[ . . . he smiles faintly at that before drinking some of his own tea]

In the end, we must simply endeavor to get everyone back.

[he nods at that]

So we did.

[there is a 'head' start pun here to be made but jiji isn't going to make it i just think it's funny]

The final week looms upon us.
