01 ⚔
Characters: Miyamoto Musashi [Issun-boshi]
Campaign: Break
Format: [ brackets ] but I'll match.
Open
Summary: Musashi throws herself into some intense training, and testing out a new ability.
[ a - forest ]
[ Miyamoto Musashi does not care about honor or whether she wins or loses at something. Living to see the next day is far more important.
... But that didn't mean she was without any pride whatsoever. Not to mention, given the size of the group currently in Index, she knew she wouldn't be able to avoid a "certain someone" forever. Nor could she run from the person every time she encountered them. She'd get killed eventually living like that, and there were no portals to conveniently whisk her off to other timelines and worlds. She needs to better prepare herself.
So if you go out in the woods today, well, you may be in for a surprise. Musashi can be found doing some rather intense sword training routines, switching between using one and two swords as she goes through the motions. Despite the fact she's swinging at the air, she's got a very serious expression on her face as she does so. If she catches on that there's someone watching her, she'll slow her training and speak up, looking far less serious and more relaxed. ]
Hey there! Like what you see?
[ b - in index ]
[ Hello there, whoever you are! There's a cheerful-looking woman approaching on the street, holding out her hand once she's close by. ]
Are you busy? Wanna see something cool? C'mon, grab my hand! It'll only take a few seconds!
[ wildcard ]
[ This is a general catch-all for the remainder of the break! Musashi is trying her hardest to train up, but can also be spotted wandering through Index, at bars, or at noodle shops/stands. Later in the break period, she can be seen with three swords instead of her usual two. ]

Forest
[He watches for a moment, and smiles once he's caught doing so.]
Yeah, I do. You're pretty good.
no subject
[ She turns to look over at Roxas ... and frowns immediately. ]
... Huh. You've seen better days. Did you have a run-in with someone recently?
no subject
Yeah, I did. Got in a fight, and got thrown into the barrier. I landed pretty hard.
no subject
[ That doesn't sound good. Is this a resident, or a blot ...? ]
Say, who or what exactly did this to you? If some monster's nearby, it'd be dangerous to leave it be.
no subject
[Though, it sure felt like it. Disciple's Essence sure seemed like a monster at the time. Still, he's Shizuo's friend, and Roxas had enjoyed talking to him before.]
Don't worry about it. It's nothing too bad, really.
1/2
A broken arm seems pretty bad to me. Same with knowing there's someone strong enough to throw you into the barrier with enough force to cause that. Those aren't things to just shrug off.
no subject
... But I'm not gonna force you to fess up. As long as you aren't trying to cover something bad up, anyway. I trust that's not the case here.
no subject
No, it's not. Besides, we're all on the same side, aren't we?
[He doesn't think omitting Hyde's presence is covering up something bad, but at the same time, he doesn't feel if that's something he should say. It's Disciple's Essence, after all.]
no subject
Yeah, we are. Sorry, guess I'm a little on-edge ... [ ... ] ... Well, anyway, what're you out here for, anyway?
no subject
no subject
[ She steps over, looking at the cast a bit more closely. ]
Too bad you can't make some kind of water cast or something. Though I guess that wouldn't be very protective ...
[ index ]
Why do I feel like this is going to be something weird?
[He asks. BUT HE TAKES THE HAND ANYWAY.]
no subject
Hahaha, well ...!
[ After using her other hand to give the mallet tied to her side a quick smack ... everything is suddenly extremely large? Or well, no - they're just both 3cm or so now. She lets go of his hand, looking surprised. ]
Oh, it really worked!
no subject
UM???????]
What the hell!?
[IS HE REALLY TINY RIGHT NOW WHAT THE FUCK is his voice also like a chipmunk or does it sound normal to him—]
no subject
Isn't it crazy? I can shrink people down with me now!
[ Speaking of, they're in the middle of the street, and people are walking by every so often. Musashi, being used to this whole thing by now, doesn't seem concerned at all. ]
no subject
You could have given a better warning—whoa!
[And he narrowly avoids being stepped on!]
Shouldn't we be somewhere, I don't know, safer?
no subject
[ She takes a quick look around, spotting a crack in the wall of a nearby shop. One that might as well be a cave for how small they are now. She points over to it, but it is a little ways away. ]
Right over there. We're gonna need to make a run for it, but it won't be a problem. It's easier to move around like this than you'd think!
no subject
[Half joking, half serious. But he's ready to run after she answers, not really wanting to linger around too long.]
no subject
[ Maybe she should've been a bit more careful about all this. But thanks to Hyde of all people, she quickly lands on an idea. ]
Hey, I'm gonna grab you and run. It'd be kinda like having your own speed boost if you don't resist.
no subject
[Didn't you just say this isn't the best way to test it?? But after narrowly avoiding another footstomp and feeling the strong burst of wind from the movement—yeah okay.]
All right, fine. Might as well see how this works.
[Are they going to hold hands or is she grabbing his arm or what.]
no subject
Regardless, aside from one narrow miss from oncoming foot traffic, they make it across alive and not as pavement decorations! She slows down once they reach the crack to catch her breath, letting him go right around the same time. ]
Haaaah, that ... that was closer than I wanted it to be ...
[ Maybe she should've tested this out somewhere else. Or at night, when it's quieter. Welp. ]
no subject
And when they reach the crack he's left stumbling forward before he slams into the "wall." Ow.]
...You think???
[HE DID NOT LIKE THAT NEAR MISS, EITHER.]
no subject
It could be worse. Hyde could be trying to stomp on us instead! A close call here and there is nothing. [ Well no, it's still bad, but she's not going to dwell on it. ] Anyway, nearly getting trampled aside, what do you think? Isn't it crazy being this tiny?
no subject
Well, once he's recovered, he'll take a moment to look around. Like really look around now that he doesn't have to worry about his life suddenly being crushed.]
...Yeah, this is definitely crazy. But it's actually kind of cool. Everything is just so...huge.
no subject
[ Erk. Talking too much. She abruptly cuts herself off and switches gears. ]
A-and it's great for saving money! You can use tiny things instead of normal sized expensive things!
no subject
...You haven't been peeking on me since you moved in have you—
no subject
Time to put on a dumb expression and an exaggerated tone. ]
Ohh~? Are you calling me creepy, or are you hoping I really did do that, Rokurou~?
no subject
Hey, I'm not going to care that much. [And. That is actually true.] Would find it a bit amusing since I wouldn't have pegged you as the type.
no subject
Well well, despite you not caring, I'm sorry to say I haven't thought to do it! Not like you're not good looking or anything, but I'd rather get a closer look at your weapons than your body.
[ At least she's ... honest ...??? ]
no subject
Now that's an answer I'd expect. And since it's against my weapons—I won't feel too offended.
[Plus she already said he was good looking, so. He'll take it.]
Anyway...where do we go from here?
