[ When he first awakens in his bed in the sword apartment he doesn’t even register that he’s out of the jungle or the beach. The pain that fills every fiber of his being is the only thing that actually matters right now. His back feels like it’s on fire still, albeit the pain isn’t as severe, after a session of healing he got on the beach itself. He just remembers those flames of heat coming towards them and the sound of that large explosion behind them.
Still the pain was enough to have him sit up and grimace in pain as he looks around for Sayo first and foremost. ]

Sayo?! [ his voice is concerned and worried as he looks around for his younger brother. Has he been returned here as well?! ]



[ Once he’s not on his death bed Kousetsu is just basically chilling in the living room when he has the energy to move around and actually do thing. He’s more or less just sitting in there playing a copycat game akin to animal crossing. It’s one of the more desirable games he’s found. At least there’s no violence…and it was peaceful. So he’s just going to do gardening inside when he can’t actually leave the house yet. Totally the same thing. ]



[ Upon being almost 100% healed and back in good shape (after a few days at least) you might happen across the sword spirit in his wanderings. He is very keenly looking into the window of the various cybuddy shops lining the streets. Most of them are damaged or in the process of being rebuilt but Kousetsu is missing his bird a good deal, so he’s just doing some window shopping for now to find a replacement for Shiro, ah.

The same goes for the food stop wherein he will be buying various dessert foods, way too much for a normal person to eat, and possible other foods as well. The ingredients he’s carrying around look like something for a Japanese hotpot. He is no stranger to the amounts of food the other swords eat so…it’s a lot of food. A hotpot was easy to make and it might be a good way to get everyone into a better mood after all that's happened. Feel free to bother him or even lend a hand?! He’s still not 100% better so he’ll be taking periodic breaks while walking back to the apartments. Perhaps he’ll even invite you to dinner if you ask nicely! ]

[reprizesal]

[Sayo was still asleep in bed until Kousetsu's voice wake him up. He tiredly opened his eyes, before the fact that it's his brother's voice finally sinks in. He quickly sits up and looks around, finally seeing Kousetsu.]

Niisama?! [He pushes himself out from bed, reaching for his brother.] Niisama, are you okay?!

[heiwana]

[ So they truly were back home, thank god. He wasn't sure how much longer he would last out there in the jungle without assistance. Kousetsu wasn't one to want to be a bother or slow others down either. But he knew from Sayo's voice that was home and the bed beneath him was just more proof. ]

Haru-san. Once he sees to me I will be alright. [ There's an underlying tone of pain in his voice as he speaks. It hurts to move but he will try to get out of bed to calm Sayo down at least. He's put him through enough as it was. ]

[reprizesal]

[Sayo reaches out to Kousetsu, gripping his clothes once they're close enough. He quickly looks him over to see his injuries, and if he have any new ones.]

I'll call Master. Just... don't push yourself too hard. Sit down and rest.

[heiwana]

[ He might have a few new ones...thanks to the Kraken they fought on the beach. But otherwise he looks relatively the same. Still banged up and burned but that wound even seems to be healed better then before. ]

...I am sorry. To make you go through this after Souza has left...

[ He's definitely not feeling like a good big brother right now. Poor Sayo didn't deserve any of this. ]

[reprizesal]

[After Souza has left. That just reminds him of the promise he made, to help look after and protect the people in this household. How can he deal with that, when Kousetsu got hurt protecting him?]

No... It's not your fault. It's... [Who's the culprit? Or what?] ... It's whoever caused that explosion.

[If it's a person... He'd want them to pay for it.]

[yaayaa]

[When Naki wanders into the living room and sees Kousetsu playing games....well. He's surprised! In a good way!

Rather than say anything though (haha) he'll just sit down next to him and...watch him play Animal Village.

Naki probably has a save file on that game too, actually.]

[heiwana]

[ Kousetsu is busy tending to his cute uniform pixelated garden when Naki happens to come inside. He will turn his attention to the other with a brief nod. ]

Nakigitsune-san would you...like to play as well?

[ Peaceful soothing game music will just be playing as he continues to direct his little person about the garden. ]

[yaayaa]

[Ah. There's a moment's silence before he nods back. (Not that the silence is all that unexpected, considering who this is.)]

Can I?

[He'd be okay with just watching tiny villager Kousetsu water tiny plants to soothing background music, but. It's hard to beat actually playing yourself.]

[heiwana]

[ Kousetsu nods silently as he passes over the controller. He trusts Naki no to ruin his garden so have it. ]

Have you...played this game before?

[yaayaa]

[Naki nods as he takes the controller, experimentally making Kousetsu's character spin around a few times--slowly, so as not to hurt the flowers. His favorite part of this game is being able to chat with everybody without actually having to think about replies though, so--

As he moves the little person out of the garden...]

Are you...feeling better?

[horsepoop]

[At some point, Namazuo takes his dumb butt to Haru to get repaired as well. With his wounds healed, he's free to bother check up on everyone else, which is what he's doing when comes across Kousetsu!]

Oh, Kousetsu-kun! It's good to see you. [Namazuo smiles, wandering over to find him... playing a game?] What are you playing?

[heiwana]

[ It is a game, yes! But it's not an actiony or bloody fighting game like many of the other swords tend to play. ]

Namazuo-san...it is a game called Animal Village. You play as villager and take care of your own garden. [ He says that as he lets his little villager pull weeds and plant things on the game's screen. ]

It is...very soothing and easy to play.

[horsepoop]

It sounds nice! Very relaxing.

[Namazuo doesn't mind the fighting games, but they don't particularly hold his interest, either. Why play a game of something they do all the time anyway? It offers a sense of familiarity to some, he supposes, but he'd rather spend his time watching colorful candies explode on his screen.

But more importantly--] How are you doing? Did master repair you?

[heiwana]

Yes and after what has happened... [ well need he say much more? Even sword spirits needed some R&R. But at that question he nods solemnly. His eyes tick towards his true form resting against the couch. ]

...yes. Haru-san was able to finish the repairs. But has requested that I...rest some more still. [ Hence why he's not back at work and doing chores and everything else right now. ]

[horsepoop]

[Very true. Namazuo's vessel is safely in his bedroom; Haru had requested the same of him, and probably the others as well. The jungle was not kind to them.]

Would you like some tea? I was going to make some anyway.

[Tea and a snack: the ultimate remedy for everything.]

[hoasen]

[She's taking a break from work! After all of that, she didn't want to go back into it so quickly, since there's a lot of things she needs to finalise first. After finishing her errands, she saw Kousetsu loking around at the windows of CYbuddies. In particular, a store she often did some grooming work for.]

Hello, Kousetsu! Are you looking for a new one?

[heiwana]

[ Taking breaks is not something either of them is used to. Kousetsu is hard working and taking breaks is unacceptable?! But Haru insisted so he has no choice but to do so. ]

...yes I am. Shiro was...destroyed in the explosion. So I wish to...find another like him if possible.

[ His poor cybuddy, he knew thee well. ] Are you looking for something as well, Vietnam-san?

[hoasen]

[Exactly, this is so strange, but at the same time healthy!]

Ah, that is a shame. [Even though it isn't a real life, it certainly feels like it some the CYbuddies have such good programming.]

I happened to be walking past, but I can help you find a suitable CYbuddy friend? I sometimes do some work here.

[heiwana]

[ Kousetsu was certianly a little bummed by it. He really had started to form a close bond with the cybuddy. Even if at first he thought them weird, he was growing accustomed to their robotic strangeness.

But here he'll bow a little at the offer for help. So serious Kousetsu. ]

I would...greatly appreciate that, Vietnam-san. If you are not busy, I do not wish to keep you from your own duties.

[deontology]

[Sousei doesn't tend to poke his head into the sword apartment much; it's too rowdy for his tastes, and he doesn't like intruding on other peoples' space. But he has a mission this time, and that's to find everyone he should be taking care of; so it is that he pokes his head in and upon seeing Kousetsu there with his not!3ds, he steps in properly.]

Kousetsu.

[A lingering, inspecting look.]

...Are you all right?

[heiwana]

[ The familiar voice of Sousei makes Kousetsu look up readily when called. Ah, yes, he hasn't really seen or contacted Sousei or Tenka much throughout that whole jungle fiasco. He will get up then, bowing slightly at the other as he comes inside. ]

Sousei-san...yes. I am fine. I am...sorry for not having contacted you or Tenka-san upon arriving here.

[ There was a lot going on, true, but it wasn't an excuse to not notify the others of what happened. ] It was...not fair of me to do so. Are you and Tenka-san alright? I...can return to the apartment if there is anything you need.

[ Of course they can manage on their own, sure, but Kousetsu sounds and feels guilty for neglecting and not staying there are much in the past few months. ]

[deontology]

[Admittedly, yes, it was an oversight, but Sousei suspects a lot happened, so he's willing to give Kousetsu a pass on that one. Even if he would have liked to know that he arrived safely.]

... Do not concern yourself with that. Naturally, you may remain here as long as you need.

Tenka and I are fine. [A slow, considering glance, and--] But you are not.

[heiwana]

[ Kousetsu wasn't one to do such things but the circumstances had been severe. Either way he'll try to make sure it won't happen again.

He looks down at small game console in his hands before looking back up at Sousei. ]

I am fine now, Sousei-san. Haru-san has repaired me sufficiently enough that I will be fully healed in a few more days.

[notsmall]

[Oh, Kousetsu is having quiet time, playing Harvest Crossing? It's very nice to see him calm and... content? No, tranquil. Something like that.

Iwatooshi doesn't really have those words in the vocabulary of his personality, though. Allow him to lean over Kousetsu to squint at the game in his hands.]

Ah, what's that?

[The naginata has learned about mobile games (possibly ones of the idol variety), but he hasn't tried these! Please enlighten him!]

[heiwana]

[ His zen levels have been restored, it's true. He wasn't expecting the naginata to take an interest in his game however. He'll look up at the other spirit with a curious albeit calm look. ]

It is a...video game, Iwatooshi-san. You play as a villager that takes care of crops and flower beds...

[ That's basically what they did back home... ] There is also fishing and catching bugs to put into your collection.
