[malewife]

Comments

PRE-W0: SUNDAY.

[malewife]

[ We can be in front of Joonghyuk's room... He's just closing the door with Niah, his black wolf daemon (now medium dog sized), at his ankles.

Turning... To see Jiji. ]

... Are you lost?

[ YOU DON'T LIVE HERE. ]

[unsaid]

[he really does not live here. mikazuki nods in acknowledgement to joonghyuk before nodding to niah in greeting as well.]

Good day, good day.

I am having a stroll. Were your accommodations to your liking, Yoo Joonghyuk?

[malewife]

[ Niah just looks up at him, but based on the flicker of his ear he heard grandpa. Joonghyuk frowns. ]

... Unacceptable. If they were going to use plastic models for the electronics, then don't include them in the first place.

[unsaid]

Oh my... That is rather taunting indeed.

[he tilts his head]

Was it a... video game console?

[does. does grandpa not know any other electronics]

W0 : SUNDAY

[malewife]

[ Where is jiji... Niah will sniff him again as a greeting and Joonghyuk is always close to his daemon. ]

... You had an eventful weekend.

[unsaid]

[courtyard a bitch is always in the courtyard

he will allow the sniff from niah and smile at yjh as he approaches]

Hadn’t we all?

[malewife]

Some more than others.

[ Niah is done sniffing. ]

The execution also didn't sit well with many.

week 1, thursday

[unsaid]

[sometime pre-curfew just so we can follow up from our last thread and depart backtagging

yjh.... doko? grandpapi is Looking]

[malewife]

[ After his CYOA and a long shower...

Well. He shouldn't go too far, so he's in the courtyard, staring off into the distance. Niah is here, whining a bit while resting his muzzle on Joonghyuk's lap. ]

[unsaid]

[i'm

losing my ass

mikazuki will go find him i guess,]

... a flower for your thoughts?

[low price]

W2 : THURSDAY

[malewife]

[ you done with your moving, dana.

wherever Mikazuki is, Joonghyuk is finding him. Niah also is here to sniff old man out. ]

[unsaid]

[no i'm so fucking tired, hei

anyway mikazuki will be in the courtyard under the wisteria trees. he's seated underneath them, dressed in a different kimono. the sleeves cover him down to his hands, and the fabric drapes over his legs. his gaze is angled upward toward the blossoms and even when yjh approaches, he doesn't actually seem to acknowledge or turn toward the sound.

what's up]

[malewife]

[ WHY DOES HE LOVE THIS COURTYArd get HOBBIES

Niah approaches and sniffs him at a safe distance. Joonghyuk stops some feet away, squinting, cause he had expected a greeting. ]

Mikazuki Munechika.

W3 : MONDAY

[malewife]

[ Wherever jiji is, Joonghyuk happens to be there, too, however he is quick to try to leave unlike his daemon who comes to greet.

It's unfortunately, but stardust traps Joonghyuk before he can escape... So a memory plays. ]

[unsaid]

... Yoo Joonghyuk.

[he'll begin to speak, to say something - because there is something so uncannily familiar about this situation.

but stardust falls upon him too.

Question: "How many times do you think we've admired these flowers together?"

Answer: ”I’ve visited this era countless times, I’ve met with you countless times, and we have admired these flowers countless times.

Of course, you don’t remember any of this.”

You know it instantly: in the flow of history, there are those with a tragic role to bear.

Some may be the same as Yasuhira and Yoritomo - to fulfill their place in history, they must kill their dearest friend. Minamoto Yoshitsune. Their brother, whether it be by blood or by bond. They must destroy their own heart, for the sake of humanity.

In many courses, the will of the Time Government is imposed by you Touken Danshi - you blades made manifest into Sword Warriors. You will cut down the enemy, and impose your own will upon history. This is the proper course, you are told. This is the way things must be.

Humanity never gets to choose.

Until you tell them.

Sometimes they do not listen. Some will call you a madman, a fool. You do not mind this either. But you have your duty - to ensure that history follows its course. No matter the cost.

But your way of doing things is different from the rest of your comrades. To walk hand in hand with humanity, rather than to treat them as puppets.

Each time, you will make these friends again… and again. You will stand by them even as they commit these atrocities again… and again.

For if you do not… who will? ]

[malewife]

[ He frowns as he watches the memory plays... He doesn't like having to see duty trump everything—that is for his own reasons. A silence follows. ]

This effect is one of the worst.

week 5, monday

[unsaid]

[we're in the ballroom because it'd probably be mikazuki's preferred new room. he admires the decor before turning to yjh when he arrives, offering a smile]

Yoo Joonghyuk.

How are you faring, after this weekend?

[and now that mom is like. alive?]

[malewife]

[ we have moved on from the courtyard, haven't we... Joonghyuk is just here, exploring and taking in the sights.

Niah is sniffing around, but the wolf seems sad. ]

Some I've tolerated are still dead.

[ Eh. ]

[unsaid]

[ . . . . well.

he nods at that.]

If only we had more of those revival items to spare - but that would hardly be entertaining to our captor, would it?

... tell me, are you familiar with flower language?

week 6, monday

[unsaid]

[they're in the village because i say so!! mikazuki is wearing long black robes over his usual clothes, and there is a moon (see icon) on the side of the hood

but he will adjust it so that his face is still easy to see - he didn't do this for other people but he thinks yjh might stab him if he's just a weird unknown hooded figure so so]

Care to explore my prior domain with me, Yoo Joonghyuk?

[malewife]

[ Mikazuki is actually so smart for being stuck in the revolving door because Joonghyuk would definitely stab him if he just came up as a hooded figure. ]

Why are you dressed like that?

[ It isn't a no. Mikazuki can give him a tour. ]

[unsaid]

[he doesn't understand revolving doors but he's pretty good at understanding people,

anyway he just smiles]

Feeling a bit nostalgic.

week 6, post-trial

[unsaid]

[well.

after that, mikazuki will at least have the decency to text yoo joonghyuk.]

Dear Yoo Joonghyuk,

I shall wait for you in the garden in the village.

Yours,
Mikazuki Munechika

[and he will wait there easily enough]

[malewife]

[ He appears and he stabs Jiji in the abdomen, avoiding vital organs, but threatens to cut through them. You can choose however deep it is!! ]

You have five seconds to answer.

[ He Remembers and I’m sorry you have to ic face the consequences of my own ooc whims.

Niah comes in, growling more because he can sense the hostility in the air. ]

[unsaid]

[um i love consequences? if yjh wanted to doxx jiji in front of god and everyone tomorrow i would understand and think it's hilarious?

but mikazuki doesn't seem too surprised and he will accept the stabbing with a slightly pained grunt - though his hand will rest on his own blade. he doesn't yet draw but he has no intention of dying]

Shadow.

I did not want to kill you or hurt Kim Dokja.
