Sakura Fujiwara shared a photo.
03/10 near Recollé

Retrospec gave me a sword...
I was complaining for a while about how if I was a mysterious dashing samurai in a past life, I had to have a weapon of some sort and this is... mine????? maybe?!?! I think???
I just found it amongst my things at home and it feels right in my hand which is the important thing. I'd never seen it before but it's really pretty. Past me had good taste in swords. (⊙ω⊙✿)

(( ooc: for those of you who are either japanese history enthusiasts or recognise this sword, this is her original sword kiyomitsu. yes, that one. she doesn't know that though. ))

That's a good-looking sword. We should train sometime!

It's almost too pretty to use...

If something like that monster invasion happens again, you'll want to have trained, pretty or not.

I guess... I never imagined you were a sword type though

I would have thought you were a staff type, like of those cool mages from an MMO

Are you going to be a cute samurai girl for halloween then, nee-chan?

I could be, but it seems excessive to have a real sword.

BUT REALLY.]

?????
they gave you that?
like recently?
like it was definitely from retrospec??

[There are so many questions buzzing around in his head right now, but they all basically return to "?????"]

yes!

i opened my closet and this was what was in there, so it must be mine

i mean my girlfriend apparently got her sword in the same way, out of nowhere but with a sense that yes. this is mine

[He immediately requires a longass nap.

But, barring that:]

are you free right now?
like do you think you can come over or i can come over or something
because i think we have to talk and it'll be easier to say it in person
probably

[NOT REALLY?? There is no easy way to tackle this?!]

sure?? are you okay??

you can come have a look if you want, i'm at home

i don't have to be at work until tonight

[ and she'll text kashuu her address, which is in an apartment building at the edge of tisse ]

It's pretty!

Does this mean you were a master swordswoman?

i'm fine! i'm fine, sorry
it's not as bad as it sounds or anything
but i'll be over in like 15 minutes ok?

[He doesn't live too far away, fortunately, so 15 minutes is about all the time it'll take before she hears a knock on her apartment door!]

you know as a sword dude i gotta say
an absolutely fucking ridiculous amount of us used swords in our other lives
like
where is the club with monthly newsletters

Coming!

[ Sakura opens the door and she smiles. She's hiding her surprise and her worry best she can. Today she's dressed in a fairly traditional kimono - perhaps fitting with today's traditional Japanese theme. ]

Hi hi, come in.

[ She steps aside to let him in. ]

I'm sure I was... there's no way a noob would have a sword like this

a club wouldn't be a bad idea

like we could meet and have cake and help each other with learning how to use and take care of our swords!!

im especially a fan of the cake part
is it ok if my sword isnt japanese though
its like
welsh

[ Spare your otouto-in-law's pure eyes (they aren't). ]

Haha, that's true. They're heavier than props and you could break something.

Say, Saku. Can I ask for a favor? You sew and cosplay, right?

Hmm do you know how to use it, by any chance?

I know someone who received a weapon but couldn't actually use it.

Hey... Sorry about this.

[In he'll step! He's also trying to seem more nonchalant about all of this than he actually feels... For his own sake as much as Sakura's, honestly. Though, first and foremost, ever A Fashionista™:]

That's a cute look.

[He'd much rather just be here to talk about bringing kimono into style in the city... But there are other things to address. Like the sword he's wearing at his waist - identical to what Sakura posted a picture of on the network.]

They do tend to feel natural, as if an extension of the very self. A part of your soul, entrenched deeply.

Yeah... I do. Is this the part where you ask me

"hey Saku-nee, can you make me a totally cute halloween costume?"

It felt... correct to wear it.

[ she said after a moment, closing the door behind her. ]

Speaking of thing that are correct - the sword, right? What was wrong with it?

[ At the moment the sword is resting in her anime ikemen shrine in her closet, having moved the actual altar away and the katana and the stand are in it, in pride of place. She loves the sword instinctively - she's not sure why, but her instincts have never led her astray. ]

I do...

[ Sakura sends this video of herself slicing through some bamboo. The sword that she's using seems to be a pretty plain samurai katana, nothing special about it unlike the one she's posted. ]

yeah that's cool with me

i mean there are swords from everywhere

maybe even someone has an english sword like excalibur
