second blade / video / march 2

[For once, Masamune appears on the feed and he doesn't look like his usual self. Perched on his shoulder is a yellow parrot, familiar to those who knew a certain pirate weaponsmith. It lets out a squawk of "Put Ya Guns On!", flaps its wings but Masamune calms it down quickly enough and looks straight at the screen with a straight face.]

Katakura Kojuro is gone.

[Okay, so there were others like Mitsunari and Motochika but Kojuro gone was an entire ballpark all together. The pain that comes with uttering that statement is clear for anybody who is familiar with either the pair of them to see. Kojuro was everything to him. Everything. Try as he might, he couldn't really hide the shock in his voice.]

So this is kinda important, okay?

[Important to him at the very least, which is why he's treating this with the most seriousness he's ever mustered in his life.]

I lost my seventh blade. So I need a Weapon. A sword.

[He gestures to his "dragon tail" sheathes on his side. The parrot on his shoulder nuzzles his face almost affectionately, as if sensing the grief of it's new master.]

These are practise ones. So useless in a proper fight.

[It's imperative that he can protect himself, now that his retainer is gone. Which is why after a long pause, he shrugs and continues speaking.]

I'm good at this Meister thing. So hit me up.

[ private to auron ]
We're going to go drinking.

*When he'd gotten up in the morning, Auron already knew something was off. Only when he looked around did he see Koujurou was gone. This time for good. Except for one thing. There was his partner's sake set sitting neatly and addressed for him.

Auron was surprised to find himself grieving. Not that he didn't do that before, but this time it was for someone else and not the usual two that crowded his thoughts. It looked like Date beat him to the announcement though. That suited Auron just fine.*

Yeah. We'll do that.

Hm.

[One part of him wondered how Auron was taking it, because it was clear that Kojuro had a large amount of respect for the meister that wielded him. And by proxy, so did Masamune. The man was trustworthy and almost reminded him of Kojuro, in a strange way.]

Any preferences?

*They were both Guardians. Maybe that was it.*

Not really, just I should wait until the evening when I have my work done. Don't want to be drunk on the job.

Heh, you kinda remind me of him in that aspect. Focused.

[And he liked that. He even allowed himself a grin.]

I guess we are a little alike. I was going to tell him more about me but...I never got the chance. So maybe you can tell me more about him.

Yeah. And then I can tell him about you in turn, when I see him again.

[Whenever that may be.]

Is he safe wherever he came from? He's not in any immediate danger, is he? *Of course he knows Koujurou comes from a land of war but hopefully he didn't fall back into the middle of a battle or anything.*

Nah. Nothing like that. If he goes back, he'll be in Oshuu. Safe. You got nothing to worry about.

[At least he hoped. Even if Kojuro did return into chaos, he had no doubt that his retainer would be able to sort the situation out without much fuss. As he did back when Ieyasu tried to invade Oshuu.]

*Auron sighs* Good.

Meet me later in the evening and we'll go where you want.

((OOC: Do you want to make a log or assume both of them drink a whole bunch?))

Gotcha.

(( I think just assuming they drunk a whole bunch is good! ))

Oh...I'm sorry to hear that he's gone.

Yeah. Didn't expect it, you know?

Suddenly poof. Gone.

BREW is strange like that.

[Because of all people to send home, Kojuro seemed like a bizarre choice. The man was a dedicated warrior.]

You knew him then?

He was a friend. We tested resonance once, and he taught me how to cook a little.

What's your name? You can't have been bad if Kojuro taught you how to cook.

My name is Hanabi Hyuuga, sir.

Hanabi Hyuuga, eh? I'll remember that. Don't call me sir though, makes me feel old.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know what to call you and I wanted to be polite.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Do you need anything?

[Oh hey, it's Stripperella. He does give her a bit of a wave though Masamune is still very much pretty bummed.]

I dunno. Too angry to do anything yet I gotta do something otherwise Kojuro would get mad. He'd get mad even if he isn't here.

Well, there are ways to relax. What would you prefer?

You got any suggestions? I'm up to anything as long as it ain't this.

You can always drop by the club. [AHAAH yeaaah she is inviting him to the strip club]

... Heh. I'll take you up on that.

[HE CAN GO TO STRIP CLUBS AND KOJURO CAN'T SCOLD HIM HELL YAAAAH]

Good. )I will buy you a drink.

...he's gone? [It was a little hard to believe. But she doubted he would joke about something like this. She swallowed thickly.]

Will you be all right?

Yeah, I gotta be. Otherwise Kojuro would get mad at me for not taking care of myself.

[He'll keep a brave face on, though really, he is hurting. A lot.]

[She's not sure how to help. She really wasn't. This was still new territory for her, still...]

Where are you?

... My apartment, Casualty Communal. I'm fine.

I'm coming over. [This is non-negotiable.]

Is it imperative for your partner to be a sword?

Gotta go with what you're familiar with. I'm familiar with swords. I'm not opposed to new things.

It would be good if the partner you'll be compatible with has a sword form. However, I'm worried that you might be limiting yourself by focusing only on swords.

[He catches this later on in the afternoon. Aside from now having lost his Meister recently, and Roy, now there's this sad news. Mr. Kojuro was a good man, and he had told Toph that she would make a great Zone Leader, when others were skeptical: that made the man quite worthy of respect in his eyes. With that, he gives Date a nod of his head, and replies:]

I am sorry for your loss, Mr. Date. I can only hope that wherever Mr. Kojuro is in his world, he is faring well.

If you need any sort of help, I would be amenable to assist... as a fellow dragon.

[Yet... despite being a sword himself, he simply can't bring himself to offer himself as a possible candidate for Date's weapon. Not at this very moment, at least.]

He'll take care of himself, don't worry.

[He waved a hand as if to say not to worry about it.]

You lost your partner too, didn't you? Heh, that's kinda funny. In a sad way.

[He gives him a nod in agreement.]

He is a very capable man indeed.

[and a beat. He... is still grieving, but he knows that he means well.]

Yes, I have as well. Who would have thought that both dragons would be losing someone so dear? It was just sudden, is all.

[Now pray forgive him, he's just going to curl himself up in as small a draconic ball as he can get to be.]

...

[He sighs and runs a hand through his hair. Masamune's not sure what else he can say because he knows grief when he sees it. So he's just gonna close the feed and send a text message with his address in Casualty Communal. Just in case his fellow dragon needed it.]
