I'm a model, you know what I mean...

This is the second time I have gotten clothing from Retrospec. The first time, it looked relatively similar to my Kendo practice outfit, although with a few extra elements, but this time... [Yes, he did intentionally cut off his own face from the picture.] This is clearly period clothing, and I don't mean a modern replica. It's the original thing. Has anyone gotten anything like it?

Jamie Doh Well, it looks really beautiful!

Jamie Doh May I ask sort of a personal question?

[toobigtohandle]

Kenta Ooshima You can ask. I'll see if I can answer.

[floret]

Jamie Doh Are you very short?

[toobigtohandle]

Kenta ooshima ... No? I'm 6'5.

[floret]

Jamie Doh You are??

Jamie Doh Honestly, I was thinking that an odachi might look that big if someone like me were to stand next to it . . . but if you're that tall, then how big is that sword??

[toobigtohandle]

Kenta Ooshima It's pretty big.
Even I was surprised when I received it. The whole sword is slightly over 220 cms long.

[floret]

Jamie Doh Can you actually use it?

[toobigtohandle]

Kenta Ooshima I can, yes

Kenta Ooshima At least,
I can now. I do kendo, so I was familiar with using a sword before getting it,
but it was much too big for me to use when I got it.

Kenta Ooshima Then I remembered how to use it and it didn't seem too heavy anymore.

Jamie Doh Wow, that's really amazing! Were you some kind of holy warrior in your past life?

[toobigtohandle]

Kenta Ooshima I... suppose you could say it like that, yes.

Kenta Ooshima I did spend a long time in a temple.

[floret]

Jamie Doh If I "could" say it like that, I guess that means that's not how you would say it?

[toobigtohandle]

Kenta Ooshima It's not, but I'm not comfortable saying it on a public network post.

[floret]

Jamie Doh Oh! Ummmm. Ok!

Jamie Doh Would you prefer I didn't ask about your past life at all?

[toobigtohandle]

Kenta Ooshima I don't mind talking about it, just not on the network.

[floret]

Jamie Doh How should we talk about it instead?

[toobigtohandle]

KentaOoshima ... Face to face? That's how most people communicate normally.

[floret]

Jamie Doh . . . That's true.

Jamie Doh I felt like it might be weird to suggest meeting IRL after only speaking once, but I guess the etiquette is a bit different with something like Retrospec.

[toobigtohandle]

Kenta Ooshima We're all in this together,
right? If you have questions that I can answer and the answers could help you out...

[floret]

Jamie Doh Yes. I really appreciate it!

Jamie Doh So, um . . . I'm usually around the RU campus, but I can go to wherever. I'm working until 8 tonight , but I could meet you afterward,
or maybe during my break? Or just sometime tomorrow. Or after that.

[toobigtohandle]

Kenta Ooshima I also study on campus, but I don't know if my schedule matches with yours.Might be easier next week,
if you don't mind waiting for just a little bit.


[OOC: had to take an unforeseen tag break, but if you want to do a log, I'm game!]

[floret]

Jamie Doh Next week is fine! I'm done with classes by noon on Tuesday and Thursday.

[ A log is good, or just doing a timeskip and switching to action here! I'm down either way. ]

OOC

[toobigtohandle]

[here for the actual meeting.

also, fun fact, I actually played Unohana for about 8 years and never had a same division castmate so it's fun to see a Hanatarou about!]
