Characters: Hajime Saitou (thrusts) & you!

Location: Around Death City

Rating: PG-13

Time: Jan. 27th

Description: Saitou needs to find a good Japanese sword.





[for saitou, not having his own sword meant that he was naked. sure he could easily punch someone out in the face, gatotsu was a technique that was more versatile than people gave him credit for.

despite the fact that the people who once thought that were now dead.

so there he was, exploring town trying to find a good blacksmith that could craft a good japanese sword for him. though japan had been moving towards opening its borders to the outside world, saitou was perfectly content with their old traditions.]

[forbearanced]

Ah. If I might ask, what year is it in your Japan?

[thrusts]

We're in the 13th year of the Meiji Era. I think I heard some foreigners call it 1880.

[forbearanced]

[Thinking a moment, then nodding.]

So you are from a future point in time. I see.

[thrusts]

[Saitou raises an eyebrow before he reaches into his pocket to grab another cigarette to light up.]

Forgive me if I don't call you senpai. But- what era are you from?

[forbearanced]

I believe it is what you would later call as the Warring States Period.

[thrusts]

[oh, he ... must probably think that his work was for naught.] Ironic, we're only 10 years past our own bloody revolution.

[forbearanced]

[Blinks.]

Revolution, you say? Against what?

[thrusts]

I'm assuming for what you fought for. [Funny how that is. Don't worry bro, Saitou fought for the shogunate.]

[forbearanced]

Ah... you will have to forgive me if I do not find that completely reassuring.

[thrusts]

It happens. [wow this just got really awkward.]

[forbearanced]

Indeed. As it is, it is out of my hands, and in yours.

[Awkward, what is that. SAMURAI DON'T DO AWKWARD.]

[thrusts]

Samurai might be a dying breed, but we won't let our ancestors sacrifices be in vain.

[forbearanced]

[A nod, satisfied by this answer.]

I must return to my duties, and you to yours. Perhaps we can talk again in the future.

[thrusts]

If you want to. It's rare to meet an actual samurai here.

[forbearanced]

I would. [A brief smile.] Guard yourself well. Until next time.

[thrusts]

[A simple nod, he isn't one for actually being friendly.]
