Week 2

Friday's harrowing events are clear in the minds of manyfirst and foremost, the death of Rika Furude, and of course the reveal and subsequent "sentencing" of Asch the Bloody. It also serves well as a reminder to everyone that the gloves are off, there won't be an easy way out for anyone and it is unlikely that there will be an option to 'wait it out' in the hopes of not participating in this 'game'. Or, as The Sage and The Teishu put it:

The Challenge.

Despite how you felt about the trial, it's likely that some rest would be welcome after all that transpired. Fortunately, some of your fellow warriors have taken it upon themselves to provide a reprieve of sorts, if you'd rather not be alone.

As if the events of the trial are supposed to be nothing but routine, dawns comes once more Sunday morning, punctuated with the sound of the rooster crowing obnoxiously. Any light sleepers hoping for their rest to not be disturbed may find themselves disappointed. Though, if anyone should wish, they may feel free to try to fall back asleep.

But, maybe that time can be better spent wandering. It seems that some places may have mysteriously unveiled themselves. It might do well to check them out. Or not. How anyone chooses to spend their time is ultimately up to them.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ See, that definitely hurts. Nishitani probably shouldn't be too surprised to find the Teishu is much faster than him, but his hubris comes with a price and that price is gonna be some nasty bruises tomorrow.

However, this being Nishitani... well, getting bruised is definitely what he's into. I'm sorry. He laughs even as he grips his chest in pain.
]

Hah... Glad I could surprise ya, pal.

[ Oh, sure, his breath is coming short and he seems almost entirely out of breath, but have you ever seen a man look so damn happy about that fact? ]

That it? Ya act like bein' injured ain't part of the fun.

[ He...actually doesn't seem too surprised at Nishitani's reaction. There's a kind of amusement on his face, even. ]

It can be, I'm aware. But it wouldn't be prudent if it affects your ability as a warrior, would it?

[ You'll only encourage him like that, Teishu-kun. ]

Eh, I've had worse.

[ He waves a hand, dismissing the Teishu's sound logic. ]

Couplea bruises ain't no big deal. Ya seen me an' Majima go at it, yeah? We don't just stop at first blood.

[ But he can't help it! ]

That's different: you two are Warriors and I'm not.

[ And that's why he likes you, Teishu. ]

Aw, don't tell me ya got a rule that ya can't hurt us warriors unless yer dolin' out punishments! Or is it cause yer all strong? 'Fraid ya might accidentally do me in?

The former, even sparring is pushing the boundary of the rules slightly.

[ And you know how much he's a rules lawyer, he just happens to like fighting a lot OK. ]

[ A man after his own heart... ]

Nah, ain't no rules bendin' here, Teishu-kun! I said I owed ya fer bringin' me back, this is just us evenin' the score. Nothin' wrong with two guys beatin' on each other every now an' then!

[ Nishitani twirls his knife in his hand, tossing it in the air and catching it again. He really would be down for round 2. ]

Maybe I'll owe ya fer somethin' else later. If we fought over it, wouldn't be 'gainst the rules, right? Can't be no rules sayin' I can't owe ya a favor.

[ A small smile. ]

Likely not, but I can't commit to anything in advance. We will see, however. [ In other words: he really would like to just let loose but that's a bit difficult (Senhime), and he does have a boss that would frown upon really beating up his warriors. ]

I'd sure like that, pal.

[ Getting thoroughly beat up, he means. But then Nishitani is Like That. ]
