Hey guys, Rokurou here! That last story was pretty crazy, huh? But another job well done...I think?

[He's pretty sure the story changed from the original, but you know what, this version is so much cooler.]

Anyway, two things.

One, we should throw a party to celebrate! I mean we did succeed, right? So why not have a party for it? I can help supply the meat, Eizen can help with the drinks. [Yes, he did just volunteer Eizen for this without asking. Yep.] Everyone can be invited, especially if anyone new has arrived. You, too, Disciple :P

Second, has anyone else planted that stone we got as part of our reward? I got alcohol flowing out of mine and it's awesome. Too bad it's only one type, so still going to have to bother you, Eizen.

Oh, Cyrus! I was thinking we need to somehow go back to that candy place and see if we can take a piece to try and plant it here. Maybe it'll work?

Anyway, back on that party, since it's getting warmer, we could have a barbecue or something, maybe down by the river. Get a few steaks and ribs going, grilled fish. Kotori your pot can make just about anything, right?

Let's just pick a day to kick back and relax, how does that sound?

[Party! Party! Party!

ooc: just a side note that this entry is going out before Hyde decides to smack the wall. OH and threadjacking is A-OK this is completely public so have fun.]

Comments

[rokubro]

Was it his blood or someone else's?

[ricebird]

I don't know... Like I said, he didn't tell me much even when I COULD get something out of him. There was a bruise on his right hand, and blood on that sleeve, but the wound didn't look THAT recent.

[rokubro]

Then it was...well Musashi answered for us, heh.

Definitely not me, though. I don't remember much about our fight, just that it happened and I'm pretty sure I just puked all over him... After that it was kind of a blur.

Oh, and finding a murdered sword.

[ricebird]

A... murdered sword? How can a sword be murdered?

[Isn't it usually the other way around?]

[rokubro]

It was just lying on the floor, broken. Just thinking about it is a little depressing.

[ricebird]

Oh, I see.

I guess that WOULD be a bit disheartening. Like seeing a meal that took a long time to prepare spilled all over the floor.

[Yes, Kotori's analogy is food-related. And hopefully not insulting.]

[rokubro]

Sort of, yeah. It had many years left, so many battles it could have seen, the enemies yet to be slayed.

[Only someone like Rokurou would get sentimental over a broken sword.]

[ricebird]

[... Rokurou, that's creepy.]

Uh, well... maybe not the slaying. (You know how I feel about people getting cut... And killing isn't something to look forward to...) But I do understand the feeling, somewhat... Maybe...

[rokubro]

Oh, right. Sorry.

[Daemon swordsman, only expected for things to get a little gruesome.]

But Musashi said she's going to get it fixed, so at least it's not completely lost. Would have been a damn shame, otherwise. It was a really good looking blade.

[ricebird]

[She'll take his word for it...]

Anyway... back to your other questions, my bamboo's still growing, and a party sounds great. What did you have in mind that'd use a pot?

[rokubro]

Nothing too complicated. Maybe some soups or stews to cook some of the meat and vegetables in.

[ricebird]

Oh, so like sukiyaki or fondue broth? I can do that! There are a few different kinds, so I can send you a list and you can pick which one you'd like!

[rokubro]

That would be excellent, thanks, Kotori! Knew I could count on you.

1/2

[ricebird]

[Oh. Dang, that's... pretty big. For a few moments Kotori just stares at the words, thinking back to her talk with Shizuo the last time a party was in the works. How they relied on each other... and now people are relying on her too, just like he said. Huh. Maybe she has grown a bit.]

2/2

[ricebird]

[Rokurou can't see it, but there's a warm smile on her face as she writes her reply.]

Thank you, Rangetsu-san. I'll do my best.

[rokubro]

Hey, it's just Rokurou. No need for the formalities.

But if you need any help with anything, just let me know.

Actually didn't you say you had issues with cutting things?

[ricebird]

[Rokurou-san, then, got it.

But oh wait, question.

...] That's right. The pot can make pork miso soup on its own, so if I use the broth in that I should be fine. I might need to ask for help if I need to make another recipe from scratch, though.

[rokubro]

I'm good with knives, so if you need me to prep everything for you, can do that no problem.

[ricebird]

Thank you. I'll make a list and send it over in a little bit. Have a good rest of the day!

[rokubro]

Same to you.
