<sub>[ The only reason that Zura is visiting the sword-house today is the fact that he can continue to spread anti-CERES propaganda, taking the liberty of pasting this campaign knock-off over various parts of this particular apartment. Zura probably discussed how evil CERES is with a few of them and quickly lost interest when he realized Mikazuki lived here. Of course he is going to find him and say hello!

Katsura never does once catch the drift that these are all sword spirits despite the conversations they may be having, the swords all around the apartment, etc, etc. It goes right over his wig head.

He figures he should at least pay his new friend a visit, but when he steps in the water in the hallway and gets his socks wet ( the absolute worse fate ), he frantically bursts through the door ( if there was a lock on it, there isn't anymore: this was urgent. ) ]</sub>

MIKAZUKI-DONOOOOO!
_{[ are you surprised he starts off like this........ ]}

Two squares, Mikazuki-dono! TWO SQUARES!!
_{[ you know, two squares is the healthy amount to wipe your ass and not have the toilet overflow.
He quickly realizes that isn't the cause of the problem, but for some reason feels no need to apologize or his mistake. ]}

i can always count on zura

[meniscus]

[ The sudden shout of his name and following breaking down of the bathroom door causes jiji to jump in surprise at first, but he's thankfully less surprised (more confused) when he hears Katsura's... ... ...advice. ] Eh? T-Two squares -- Katsu -- [ He didn't even finish saying his name which for some unexplained reason, he likes to say.

Despite the sword apartment slowly flooding, Mikazuki takes the time to politely greet Katsura, bowing and saying how happy he is to see him outside of the games for once! He's smiling and laughing (apologizing for his wet socks) and he even tells Katsura to "please explain what Two Squares means later!" since well, the water is still pouring out into the hall. ] That's right! [ Mikazuki grabs Katsura by his shoulders with urgency. ]

Katsura-kun! ... ... ...Do you know how to get hot water for the shower? It keeps coming out cold? [ That's his biggest concern somehow. ]

aaay

<sub>[ Grandpa is certainly a chatty person. Not like Katsura minds. He doesn't seem too panicked at the miniature flood at hand now that he sees it's not the toilet that is causing the issue. ( ???? )

Everything Mikazuki says; Zura just tips his head with a small 'yes' in agreement.
Then, his shoulders are gripped. He doesn't mind this either, even if he is typically pretty fussy with who is allowed in his space. Great job, jiji! You've already broken through his bubble.

Katsura lowers his head and cups his chin. ]</sub>

... You say it's only giving you cold water? _{[ this is a hard one..... ]}
Have you considered boiling the water first?

[meniscus]

[ Ah yes.

He's glad that Katsura doesn't mind how touchy Mikazuki can get since it's something he does a lot, maybe it's a habit? Who can say! What Mikazuki CAN say is...that he's sorely confused. He heard that the hot water is supposed to come naturally but maybe it's not? Oh these modern times...well, Katsura seems more knowledgeable than jiji so he'll try anything once. ] Boiling it? Then I would fill the tub with buckets of boiled water? Ah, actually that's a little familiar.

[ But how should he go about it now? Mikazuki pardons himself and hops up on the bathroom counter to avoid getting his pants any more wet than they already are. He invites Katsura to do the same, of course. They shouldn't be ruining their clothes in his opinion. Not only that but as a sword, he has his concerns about being in the water for too long. ] Human bodies prune but a sword can easily rust. [ He's talking to himself but feel free to interpret that however you like, Katsura. ]

Ah. [ Hand to chin, Mikazuki looks at the overflowing bathtub and the still running water for a long second. It's quiet except for the standard bathroom noises (whatever those are) before Mikazuki finally seems to get his mind on the right track. ] Should we turn the water off?

[bakudanma]

_{[ serious as a heart attack: ]}

Then don't bring your sword into the bath tub, Mikazuki-dono.
I have made the same mistake when visiting the onsen in Kyoto. I know you are wary of exposing your asscheeks to strangers as am I, but carrying your sword into the water can damage it.

...oh. We should.
_{[ Katsura will reach over and do that for you, grandpa. ]}

[meniscus]

[ Mikazuki is > < this close to just telling Katsura that it's impossible for him Not to bring his sword into water since he is one but...perhaps another time. He's more interested in Katsura's story, smiling and nodding when appropriate before turning towards the overflowing tub. Mikazuki allows Katsura room to turn off the water (finally) and sighs a little in relief after it's all over.

-- Though he thinks that, the bathroom and a large portion of the hallway is still flooded. ]

So then...you said to boil the water, yes? [ He's careful about bunching up his lower garments so they don't get wet but since his socks are already lost, he'll just hop and walk through the wet floor but it's a little slippery so Jiji will be considerate as always and offer his hand to Katsura. ] Only if you wish to, Katsura-kun though I do not doubt you're capable of taking care not to fall.
