Characters: Miyamoto Musashi [Issun-boshi] and anyone else!
Campaign: Break
Format: [ these ]
Open
Summary: Intro log for Musashi! Settling in during the break, power testing, and stabbing a snowman in the face.


[ a - settling in ]

[ Hoo boy, was it ever chilly outside. For exactly that reason, Musashi decides one of her first stops in this new world she volunteered to go to is the tavern. A nice drink will warm her up! ... Or really, she just realized what she agreed to and noticed she's missing three of her four swords now, so ... yeah, she probably should start this off with a drink.

Now with a tall bottle of booze and a cup to pour it into, Musashi idly flips through the journal to get a better understanding of what's going on, taking breaks to drink here and there. As well as look around the tavern for anyone else who stands out. After all, talking is easier than just reading about all this stuff, right? Besides, there were just some things this journal wasn't gonna answer for her.

If she manages to lock eyes with someone, she'll be giving them a friendly grin before grabbing her drink and moving over to them. If she doesn't spot anyone while she's in the tavern, she'll be doing the same "looking around for others who stand out" thing after she leaves, while wandering around to get familiar with the city layout

Hey there! Do you have a few minutes to spare for me?


[ b - snowmen ]


No, it's just not the same ...

[ Musashi's quietly grumbling to herself, having just stabbed her katana right through the head of a snowman. ... What? It threw a snowball at her first! It had it coming!

Either way, she pulls her sword out of the poor snowman's head - weird, did it always have a frowny-face expression on it? - and looks it over with an edge of disappointment in her expression before sheathing it again
. ]


As for you, stop it with the snowballs, okay? Don't think I'm not serious. I'll have you melted down to nothing if I catch you again.

[ She might be sternly scolding this snowman, but she's quick to follow that with an embarrassed grin. Boy is she going to feel silly if it turns out to be neighborhood kids or something. ]


[ c - power test ]


[ Aside from the single katana, Musashi also came in equipped with a small wooden mallet. Sitting out in the woods despite the cold weather, she idly flips it around in her hand, looking it over with interest. This was because of her Essence, right? Should she read up on the lore behind it, or maybe just mess around and see what happens? Well, messing around would be the easiest way to understand, and that's exactly what she decides to try out first.

Someone who might be watching from afar may notice that, after she taps herself on the arm with it, she'll seem to suddenly vanish in a blink. ... Or did she? That tiny, colorful 3cm thing on the stump Musashi was originally sitting on couldn't possibly be her, could it?

Yes it is, and she's laughing. This is hilarious, amazing, and kind of terrifying. She can pull off so many dine-and-dashes with this ability if things ever got that bad! Holy geez, she needs to read up on what else this thing can do

Then I think I know about it. Or, at least heard of something similar. I think it's called something different where I'm from, but it might just be the same as what you're used to.
twilightskey: (Faraway thoughts)

[He looks a little curiously at her, but eventually nods.]

Yeah, I guess I can let you know if I find anything. [It would be good for him as well.]
twilightskey: (I mean...)

Oh... thanks.

[He rubs the back of his head, a little sheepishly. If she's buttering him up or not, she's got him flustered.]

I'm Roxas.
twilightskey: (It has to be you)

[He nods to her.]

Nice to meet you, too. Good luck with your udon search.
