→ ❝ A. Slaps PSD on cat. His now!

[ A cat. It's just the animal itself which catches Yamato's attention and makes him glance over at it every so often. A flick of it's tail and sapphire stares, just a small lick of it's paw and the uchigatana contemplates his every move. From how he acts, Yamato's realtionship with cats is more love and hate — most of the time they find him company but he has had a bit of bad history. Besides, no one is around, right? Why is it snooping around.. as if it lives here? Which anyone but Yamato can be pretty sure that it does, this is probably Sayo's cat but you know... you know.. what can go wrong? ]

You stop right there!

[ Speaking to the cat, he unsheathes his vessel and points at the feline as if it's another monster that he has to fight. When he takes a step forward, the feline believes in making a dash for it and of course, Yamato will follow in order to cleanse this apartment of these.. stray bad omen cats! Keeping his eyes on the animal, he starts to follow right after it in hopes of being able to either catch it — his sandals hitting against the ground as he continues to swipe his vessel at the poor cat. What has the cat done wrong but mind it's own business!!

Running around within the apartment as he bumps into various things such as tables and breaking vases, he slashes his vessel forward in order to attack the feline but he misses! ]

Stop running!

[ It doesn't take long until he has the feline in a corner, an open window behind and Yamato smiles since he's so proud of himself for getting this far. With just one movement of his vessel will be the end of it, right? Wrong. With another step, the cat decides to make an escape through the window but Yamato isn't foolish enough to allow it to escape, running forward towards the window and getting half his body through plus his sword, the window pane follows right after and drops down on the uchigatana's back and he flinches because that does hurt. ]

Ow ow ow.. why..

[ On a ledge he notices that the cat is sitting there rather nicely, no need to complain and Yamato hanging halfway out a window with a big drop between him and the ground. Perhaps you're in the room behind him.. please pull him out? He needs assistance? Maybe you're walking past the apartment below him and just happen to look up.... please.. help him. ]

This was a mistake..

→ ❝ B. (Sad Music Included)

[ For this being his first day here, he's been through a lot in the past few hours so he's decided to do something to pass the time. Finding the couch, he decides to sit down so that he wouldn't get into anymore trouble but with his weight crashing down — he accidentally sits on the remote and with a CLICK the TV before him flashes on. What comes on the weird box before him is some commercial but to Yamato, it's just some sad man trapped in a unknown world to be mocked by all people who watch him.

The man is sad.. lonely.. depressed? All in all. He is hurt. Who hurt him?

As he continues to watch the commercial, he feels bad for this human but he shouldn't meddle in personal affairs. He isn't sure why this household is keeping humans hostage and having them make food.. but there has to be a reason. In the middle of the commercial, Yamato moves and flicks to another channel — GODZILLA..... as that plays, a giant monster shoots out lightning from it's mouth and Yamato is alert! Is that man about to die? Yamato has to save him?

What if this man dies?!

Quickly getting up from the couch, he rushes over to the nearest vase so that he can use it to save the man inside of the TV.. This is helpful? He'll save him? From this lightning monster? It's no different from a historical revisionist, right? Swinging the vase into the TV and an explosion sounds right after the screen breaks and smoke comes from the device — Yamato gets down on his knees to look inside of the TV for the person he was supposed to be saving? Where is he?

Getting down on his knees, he peeks inside of the broken TV, fanning away a bit of smoke as he hears footsteps behind him. Oh, maybe they'd know where the sad older gentleman is. ]

I can't find the person I saved.. do you know where they are?

→ ❝ C. Wildcard.

[ where did you find yamato! this is his first day @ the swordhaus, im so tired, i embarrassed myself. ugh im laughing ]

B.......

[hoasen]

[It's not a Yams and Viet thread until a tv breaks anyway.

She only just caught him when was peering into the television set, so she never knew he vase'd it for the purpose of saving a man.

Why is he crouching over a broken television set though? Who broke it?

Then she heard his question and it became clearer. Well, it's not at all understandable, but now she knows whose fault it is.]

Did you...break the television set to save someone?

B........reak TV

[yasusada]

[ HONESTLY!

Looking at the female close to him, he stares at her not being able to put her face but for some reason — maybe she's a familiar inhabitant of this housing. She wouldn't be in here otherwise? Not making that such a big deal, he extends his hands into the TV in order to grab one of the cards that seem to be sparking but he quickly removes his hand upon contact, it burns and his fingers didn't like it so much. ]

Ow... Perhaps he's under this stuff, but everything burns. [ He nods as he points to the inside of the TV, he then explains that there was a sad man who was almost struck by lightning so the sparking is probably what's left of the monster's powers. ]

I have to get him out.. [ Placing his hands against the bottom of the TV, his hands rest roughly against broken and chipped glass. It punctures his hands just a bit but not as deep to be trouble but things are hot. ]

He's somewhere..

omg legit...

[hoasen]

[LOOK AT THIS TRADITION WE HAVE NOW.

Clearly she's gotten too comfortable in this house that she's forgotten to introduce herself. Although the truth is, she didn't know if everyone is a sword or not. Jack often comes visit too, and he's no sword.

That and she's more worried about him right now, now that he's getting reckless about saving someone.]

W-wait...don't keep touching the television set, you'll hurt yourself. [She settles down beside him, trying to pull his hands away.] You'll burn yourself and you're bleeding.

Why are you trying to get him out? [A CYbuddy got stuck??]

buries ur inbox i guess... A!

[adornmental]

Whaaat are you doing?

[The voice comes from a window nearby. HI, FRIEND... Kashuu (who probably gave Yamato directions to the apartment and then insisted on accompanying him because he can't take his eyes off this punk for a second, apparently) is leaning out through one of them, though he's not stuck and dangling precariously like a certain punk.]

—And what's that cat doing out here? Geez, that's dangerous! [He holds his arms out toward it and makes some coaxing noises, at which point the CyBuddy starts making its way over toward the ledge under Kashuu's window, probably internally laughing at Yamato's defeat. Time to scoop this cat up...!] Poor little guy. Your paws are all wet now!

[WHAT ABOUT YAMATO, THOUGH.]

ugh aki wtf

[yasusada]

Huh?

[ Looking next to him, WELL HELLO NEIGHBOR! Why's Kashuu's head sticking out the window too, is he stuck? Yamato guesses not since he doesn't seem to be as uncomfortable as the one who wears about eight pairs of clothing at once. Anyway, watching as Kashuu motions the cat over so easily, he just has a feeling this speicifc one doesn't like him like the other hoards of cats he had found earlier today? To be honest, down below are those same twenty cats from before, must have followed them back a long time ago. ]

Hey! Hey, don't take my kill! That's mine! You know that's bad play, Kiyomitsu!

[ Yamato was after that feline but as he talks, he sees that the other uchigatana isn't listening to him. What the fuck DOES IT MATTER IF IT'S PAWS ARE WET!!! Using his sword to close the distance between Kashuu and Yamato, he tries to swipe at the cat in the old "reach and hope you get it" fashion! ]

dont wtf me

[adornmental]

[UGH WHY DO ALL THESE CATS LIKE YAMATO. Don't they know they're in danger!! Like this poor cat right here. Naturally, he holds it even closer to himself when Yamato leans over to try stabbing it at a distance...]

Don't kill it! This is Sayo's cat, you idiot!

[It hisses in Yamato's general direction from his arms...]

And don't lean over, either. You're gonna fall if you keep reaching!

[HUFFS AND PUFFS... He still wants to help clean off the cat's paws, but he has a duty to help his moron mirror, too. So he'll be disappearing from his window, and a few seconds later, Yamato will hear his voice coming from behind instead.]

How did you even manage to do this?

A (more like A New Cat For Me and not yamato??)

[gravesite]

[ well, thankfully for yamato, tsurumaru understands the whole "destroy the entire apartment" aesthetic. he's inside the apartment, slowly watching it descend into the chaos that he loves so much; he's actually kind of tailing yamato throughout this whole situation, not to catch him, but to see how many things that the uchigatana can destroy in one hour.

the answer to that is, well, a lot.

though, yamato's little escapade doesn't end all too excitingly — with yamato getting half of himself stuck in the window, at a precarious height above the ground, and it's then that tsurumaru speaks up, placing his hands firmly on yamato's backside, instead of his ankles. ]

Yamato. [ and although yamato can't see his expression, the unusual seriousness in tsurumaru's voice is apparent. ]

Do you feel like dying today?

[ which can also be read as: yamato, do you feel like embracing the big drop to the ground? ]

ugh what the heck this is MY CA!!!t i will defeat it touches ground ugh

[yasusada]

[ Staring at the cat that rests on the ledge, he frowns seeing that it's out of his reach and deciding to walk down and place it's attention elsewhere. He'd snap his fingers but one is placed against the flat of the building and his other holds onto his vessel to make sure that he doesn't drop it. Luckily, he isn't scared of heights as he stares down at how the fall might go if anything was to happen and something does happen.

There are hands that settle upon his back, no intention to help pull him back but a little motivational, non-moving push. The question that's posed to him, you can say he doesn't find it shocking at all. Tsurumaru does have a tendency of having a morbid — yet — playful type of humor about certain situations. Though, today doesn't seem like that typical can of laughter, it's serious and that's a new weight on the uchigatana's shoulders. ]

Dying? [ He blinks as he thinks about the pros and cons of "dying", it's funny with that cat around something like this happened. He shakes his head as he tries to keep himself from slipping anymore out the window than he already is. ]

To be honest.. today has been.. a weird day for me.. [ He pauses, thinking and then his face drawing a blank expression. ] If I died.. I feel like.. the satisfactory I've looked for such a long time would not be realized.. do you understand? [ He saw his master a couple of times during those strange games within ViViD as they call it? If he died, he wouldn't be as close right? Then again, perhaps he shouldn't trust what he had seen at all. Majority of that were lies, right? He's unsure. ]

Have you ever felt like that?

UGH LISTEN if you're still alive after that fall we'll go catch the cat

[gravesite]

[ actually... that seriousness was all part of his big prank, and he hadn't planned on being serious at all, but he'll still take the answer that yamato gives him.

it's true — they're two of the most morbid (and as a result, the most troublesome) swords of this house, not caring what they destroy, whether it be the bedrooms, the living room, the kitchen, even, and their particular building has the most going on at any given time, and it's because yamato and tsurumaru just love to destroy everything.

and maybe that means something, maybe it's symbolic. he'd look into yamato's eyes if he could see them, but he nods his head, making a small mhm sound. he keeps up his serious act, though; but at this point, it's not even really an act; when it comes to death, they tend to magically rediscover how to be serious. ]

I understand completely, Yamato. Then, in that case... I'll grant you the satisfaction that you want realized.

[ tsurumaru takes a moment to breathe, before exerting force and pushing yamato forward.

AND THERE YAMATO GOES, HEADFIRST OUT THE WINDOW...............

as for tsurumaru? he loves to die, but not like this. he'll be dashing out of the bedroom and through the building's main door, because once yamato recovers, don't they have a cat to catch? ]

A oh my god

[reprizesal]

[Oh my god, who caused this mess? Sayo blinked, before he followed the trail of destruction. Whoever did this, he'll make sure they'll clean up before Haru comes home. All while looking for his cat.]

Kashuu, where are you--

[Sayo opened the door and just stared when the first thing he saw was Yamato's rear. Um.]

Yamatonokami...san? [He assumes it's him, since there's that Shinsengumi blues he's wearing.] What are you doing?

UGH LISTEN YOUR CAT TESTED ME

[yasusada]

[ You know, trying to aim your sword at a cat that keeps moving away is kind of hard! Trying his best, the feline only continues to dodge which makes Yamato give up. Leaning forward and taking a deep breath to show how tired he is. Holding onto his vessel, he can't turn around to see Sayo but he does know that voice. ]

Sayo Samonji? Ah, how may I help you today? If it's chasing after someone, I'm a bit busy! I found an intruder in the housing.

WHAT DID KATSHUU DO??

[reprizesal]

[The adorable cat is sitting just a little outside of Yamato's range, watching him carefully. Is it angry? Amused? Can Yamato read cats that well>]

An intruder?

[Sayo sounds a little alarmed and he quickly walks over towards the window Yamato's stuck in.]

Who is the intruder?

B!

[horsepoop]

[Namazuo has also had a very long day. Seeing his brother in danger always takes a toll on him, and fake or not, this time was no different. It's a comfort to have so many familiar faces around, and under normal circumstances, he'd be flitting around to check on everyone. But he's tired, and he misses his family, and he just wants to curl up and watch something nice as he falls asleep.

So naturally, Yamato has to go blow up the TV.

It sounds like an attack from his bedroom, so Namazuo has his sword halfway drawn as he bursts into the living room. But there are no enemies to be found... just the dumbest gumi to ever dumb.]

Yamato-kun?! Are you alright?!

[yasusada]

[ Why does Namazuo choose betray? Anyway, making a TV explode doesn't seem to be a rare feat in this household anyway. Yamato stares at the wakizashi with confusion set on his features, he's too late to bring his sword to the party? Yamato has handled it, he just has to find where the man hides beneath all his rubble of the TV.

Sticking his hands into the broken device as he starts to move away various shards of glass and sets them to the side. He does keep his gaze onto the other as he tries to figure out what to say back, he's fine? He is! He isn't hurt at all but he gives a nod to him. ]

Of course, but we should have that for the man inside of this? He needs my help?

[horsepoop]

Ah! Be careful!

[Quickly, Namazuo crosses the room, kneeling down and catching Yamato's hands.] I'll get a broom, alright? You might cut yourself. [Perhaps a silly worry when they're, y'know, swords... but still.]

What man?

C because I'm wild baby yeah

[spes_phthisica]

[After returning from the ViViD game, Souji was honestly so tired that he more or less just buried himself under the piles of clothing which Kashuu has dumped on the other bed in his room, and gone to sleep. When he finally wakes up, he feels a bit embarrassed about the whole thing, but... well, the game amounted to the most he's moved around in months, so perhaps it's not so strange.

He sits up, looking around with a small smile pulling on his lips as his eyes fall on the familiar piles of beauty magazines and neatly arranged bottles of nail polish. Kashuu's room. And his room - and possibly, now that he thinks about it, they might just be three people all together in this room.

Well, they'll probably need this bed cleared, right? So whenever Yamato finally decides to inspect the room which has been designated as his, he'll find Souji already in there, carefully folding and sorting Kashuu's clothes. He smiles at the sword as he appears, bright and pleased.]

There you are, huh~. I'm just making more space in here - I hope you didn't mind me napping on this bed?

[OOC: If you want us to get a bit further with the other thread before you decide how Yams will react here, that's fine ^^]

STOP BEING A WILD CHILD

[yasusada]

[ There's a lot going on for today, Yamato has went through many things and he's trying to get himself together. He knows that for some reason, he has a home here and as much as he protested — Kashuu just wouldn't let it slide. There's an idea that comes to the uchigatana if he shows interest of here and just disappear later in the night, he'll be able to live somewhere right? The park sounds like an interesting place to him, he'll find something to sleep in but for now. He'll deal with his time here for just a moment.

Pushing a door forward, he decides that it's best to at least attempt that he saw the room that his mirror would want him sleeping in. Though, what's hiding away inside does shock him. His heart beats and his eyes widen as he can't believe that he's here as well? He doesn't recall hearing about this, maybe he wasn't paying attention or maybe he couldn't believe it? Either way, he stares at the face before him and is thankful — truly thankful that nothing has happened to him.

He's fine. The things that happened in ViViD didn't effect him as much, he takes one more step froward until he retreats. Foot stepping outside of the room and forgetting that he shouldn't act so comfortable. Permission this and permission that. Was he.. expecting him? Either way, he pauses before he speaks. ]

Huh? [ That's not his bed, right? Or is it? Either way. ] I don't know what to say, I'm sure you were here before me.. [ He blinks once, then twice. ] Is something else being placed in this room? .. I'm sorry if I interrupted something, I didn't mean to be in your way.

[ IN THE END, YAMATO IS OKITA'S LIL SONION. THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY HE CAN ACT. ]

NEVER IT'S IN MY BLOOD

[spes_phthisica]

Huh?

[Souji's eyes widen in surprise at the reaction, and then he's shaking his head and laughing, following Yamato as he's backing away and reaching out, taking one of his hands between his and giving it an inviting tug.]

Of course you're not interrupting, silly. And I'm pretty sure that's meant to be your bed, yes. That's why I asked.

[He beams at the sword, and while he's still thin, pale and sickly-looking, the rest really has done him some good, lifting his spirits as well as his health and allowing him to look as cheerful and exuberant as ever just for a moment. He gestures at the bed, seems to indicate that they can both sit down, while giving Yamato's hand a small squeeze. He's excited, now, to meet his other sword, to get to know him as he's gotten to know Kashuu, and hopefully to ease him out of being quite this awestruck around him.]

There are spare futons that I can sleep on if I want a bed to myself, but honestly most of the time I'll probably be sharing. [A sheepish little laugh.] That is, you don't have to share if you don't want to, of course - I just know that Kashuu Kiyomitsu doesn't mind. [By which he means that Kashuu is a clingy little octopus, and that suits him just fine.]

B...

[newtimes]

( Yamato how could you do this to him... The television was literally the one thing getting him through this month. Literally. The one. Thing.

So when he comes back home to find the set smoking and a certain spirit fanning the flames, he just








stares. )

get ready to run

[yasusada]

[ When his eyes come into contact with Mutsunokami — there's a pause in his soul — in everything that Yamato lives for. His hands that are messing with the broken glass inside of the TV and fanning away some smoke stop as he takes in the male's appearance.

That's him.
He's sure of it. ]

Mutsunokami.. Yoshiyuki? You're here too?

[ Grabbing a broken glass from the TV, he holds it tightly as he has a change of plans. ]

It's nice to see that you're here as well. We should celebrate meeting once again. [ He pauses. ] I'll give you five seconds to run.

1/a few

[newtimes]

( "Mutsunokami...Yoshiyuki? You're here too?"

Dang. )

[newtimes]

( "It's nice to see that you're here as well."

Ugh. )

B

[helmsplitter]

[Dotanuki was just wandering into the apartment after stealing another ice cream bar (DON'T WORRY, HE'LL REPLACE IT, GOSH), when he heard the commotion in the living room. First there was the smash and then the pop and then??

He slips in to see Yasusada standing by the TV and smoke everywhere. Dotanuki is standing there with an ice cream bar in his hand, looking at the destroyed hulk of what used to be how he watched war movies.]

...What the hell did you do?

how dare you

[yasusada]

I saved someone.

[ He stares at the other as if he's a little confused as to why he's concerned about what Yamato as done. Though, there's something he has to make clear first as he stands up and away from the TV. ]

How long did you keep them in there to suffer! You should know that humans aren't meant to be locked away like that! That sad old man, he had a family to feed and a monster killed him! How long did you all keep him inside!?

[ Oh no, he's gotten the wrong idea. ]
