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. ♥

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.

You're right... but the thought of it is very strange. I cannot imagine riding through an old town on the back of one of these 'chocobo' creatures. If I dream of doing so then I'll be even more concerned, though I suppose dreaming of the past on horseback would be no less peculiar at this point.

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.
no subject
I'm not sure about me making a suitable samurai, though. I don't think I have the nature for it... I couldn't hurt anyone. Something about the aesthtic is pleasant, though!
no subject
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!
no subject
You know, I forgot I even mentioned that. I'm happy to host you at any time, however, even for such a strange rebellion.
no subject
Excellent!

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

[He doesn't know why, but one thing does immediately come to mind without explanations.]
Sumo?
[There's a long pause before the next reply comes through.]
Dress me up... ah, I don't know, it seems like an odd thing to do...
[Someone's blushing.]

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

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