samuraisoul: (Quiet grace)

There is no enemy currently at Honnouji

Odd visions, mysterious apps, the replacement of horses and countless small little oddities... since leaving Japan and coming to Recolle it feels as though as I have stepped into an especially vivid and realistic feeling dream. Next thing I know I really will be a samurai rather than just seeing myself as one; sword at my side and dressed in armour for a naval battle that ended hundreds of years ago.

I wouldn't mind taking part in the tea ceremonies, though. Or the poetry contests.


[And because he can't stop himself from bringing this up on the network whenever possible, even when it's completely at odds with the tone of the rest of the Jūbei's post:]

Oh, and thank you to all recent adopters of pets from the Animal Shelter! We've had a lot of rehomings recently and I for one am overjoyed to see it happen. Please let me know how you and your new friend are doing, and if you need any help with training, I will be pleased to advise you if I can. ♥

Daisuke is settling in well. He won't stop trying to come up onto the couch and bed after me, though, so I've set up lots of makeshift steps for him so he doesn't hurt himself trying to jump.

The adjustment here is...interesting. But if looking through old art books is any indication, even if you did get swept all the way back to before the Edo period, you'd still be riding a bird into battle, instead of a horse.

It's disconcerting.

At first I might have brushed off some of these concerns. Told a good friend of mine it was just his vivid imagination. I haven't experienced anything like it, myself.

Most vivid dream I had recently...

No, it was something I remember. Just an old partner of mine. Nothing from the far past or a life I might never have lived.

The idea seems to suit you, though. You'd be far more at home as a samurai, something in the pre-Edo period, than I would.

You never did describe your armour.

But you did promise me a hot drink. You're welcome to practice your tea ceremony on me. We can even rebel and use hot chocolate instead. A new trend!

That is enough for me to envision.

Excellent!

I've done music for taiga before. The sets were something to behold. Your looks suit the role of a noble, virtuous samurai. Do you have any kendo experience?

So you are a talented kendōka, then. I bet you can guess my sport of choice.

We'll dress you up and see, shall we?

That dream actually sounds pleasant.

Helping animals is no doubt better for your health, too.

Speaking of dreams, I had a rather vivid one the other day. It involved a wizened old crone.

It involved something out of a kung fu movie. She blew up a rock with a single strike.

Then again, she did seem to be some kind of horrible demon lord, so there you have it.

Oh yeah? I didn't know you were a fan. Or did you mean from this program?

That's odd. But it's not as though dreams ever make sense, right?

You think you're possessed or something?

Hmph! Tell that to some of the deniers around here.
