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.

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 dream actually sounds pleasant.
