There is no enemy currently at Honnouji

[samuraisoul]

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. ♥

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!

[samuraisoul]

Well, I couldn't see all of it... I was seeing through my own eyes, after all. The little in my vision consisted of hakama and traditionally styled armour, in white, purple and blue with gold trim. There was a kamon on the back of my gloves but I can't quite picture it clearly.

You know, I forgot I even mentioned that. I'm happy to host you at any time, however, even for such a strange rebellion.

[rebelsoul]

That is enough for me to envision.

Excellent!

[samuraisoul]

You must have a very vivid imagination, Hibiki-san, though I suppose I already knew that about you.

[rebelsoul]

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?

[samuraisoul]

Noble and virtous? I don't know about that... I don't think I'd make a good samurai in any way. But yes, I've done kendo before. I wasn't awful at it, I admit.

[rebelsoul]

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?

[samuraisoul]

Talented is a stretch, Hibiki-san, but let me take a guess at your favourite.

[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.]
