Why are there so many damn fires. [Granted, Shinji's only actually caught sight of one fire in progress.

But when you have fire-related trauma, one is 'so many.']

And how the fuck are any of them sticking when it just rained all fucking month, I guess. (Don't say 'magic.')
konpeito_aji: (That's how it is)

[Nobunaga hesitates briefly... and pats Shinji on the head.]

[He's FINALLY starting to get how he is freaked out by others touching him without warning, but it still seems appropriate, so he does it unapologetically!]


Grieve away then. We all fuck things up. It's impossible to escape this -- or any world without it. Being born, dying, all these things affect others, not always for the best. Don't try to avoid it. Just do things to make the world...s overall less fucked.

[More drinking!]

[Nobunaga just laughs.]

If you could see my time, you wouldn't have to say that.

It's very obvious for one such as me to see how far humanity has come in the last five hundred years. Not just technologically, but socially. Culturally.

[He waves a hand. It's a weird example, but he really wants to give Shinji a chance to get it.] Take "Fuck."

It's not that rape or accosting women is acceptable or standard, but no longer is just the act taboo, the very word itself to symbolize it is as well! [Another laugh and headshake.]

A samurai could kill any peasant. [Snaps his fingers.] Just like that, and not even his Lord could do anything about it.

As much as you blamed yourself... Did others outwardly? Desperate fools with no control over nature, they sought superstitions as some means of comfort for lack of control over destiny. People in my time often lashed out at each other for the most absurd of things. Perhaps someone caused it by wearing red and offending some spirit. Or they might have said it was her own fault for having ancestors who were criminals.

Humanity has come far from such foolishness holding them back.
konpeito_aji: (Smug son of a bitch)

Oh, my bad. [A small laugh. Derp.]

Why's that?
konpeito_aji: (50 years of life has a man)

[WELP.]

[Nobunaga squints at Shinji. So very Masamune.]

[He reaches into his pockets and pulls out konpeito. And noms one, but also offers one to Shinji as well.]


What'd you do?

Apparently that's how I fucked up in other timelines. Mitsuhide bargained his mother, Aunt, the woman who raised him, but I did something to disrespect the negotiations nevertheless, so they killed her.

[A headshake.] Mitsuhide is complicated. He's the hardest for me to deal with, but for him to betray me, I know I'd have to betray him first. Egregiously.

It's troublesome to think the fire at Honno-Ji was his doing in most other timelines. More than that I don't survive it.
konpeito_aji: (playing the fool is my job not yours)

[The only way Shinji can get more Masamune to Nobunaga right now is to add an eyepatch and pet tiger cub.]

Would that have really helped anything?
konpeito_aji: (Is that so?)

[personal profile] konpeito_aji 2021-05-09 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Tigers are a lot like dogs!]

Oh? Interrupted like other worlds, or interrupted like... I actually have no idea what would be normal for your time.
konpeito_aji: (Don't even try it)

[personal profile] konpeito_aji 2021-05-09 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
That's some crazy timing.

What happened then?
konpeito_aji: (Seeing into your future)

[personal profile] konpeito_aji 2021-05-09 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yup, that needs more drinking.]

What the shit?

[Sengoku-era warlord just said that. The slang he is picking up here is terrible, and everyone should feel bad about teaching him bad words. At least he won't say them in front of Mitsunari, because Mitsunari is a baby (not literally).]

Guns seem a lot more dangerous when the gunpowder is inside the bullets. Not just for war. [Irritating. But seriously, he's trying to imagine someone charging in with even a bow and arrow and just...]

[Yeah, even Nobunaga's not that fucked up and impulsive! And yet ninja don't use guns in the future, or do they? Probably not since he was told only the army had them. Usually. Not to mention it seemed bullet wounds got a lot stronger too, not just that someone with less years of training could use them, but no training or discipline was required at all, just like Zuko said. Wouldn't that cause more damage to the user? Possibly, but maybe it was a lot more like giving a monkey a torch. Of course there would be wildfires and death and mayhem.]


Why did he want to kill Ken?
konpeito_aji: (rare solemnity)

[personal profile] konpeito_aji 2021-05-09 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Annoyed groan.]

Some things never change I guess. Did someone else kill him, or the police?
konpeito_aji: (*sigh*)

[personal profile] konpeito_aji 2021-05-10 12:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds complicated. [Brow furrows, trying to get a grip on it. It's hard because it's more individualized. 7-25 players at most, not an entire army. Is that weird? He's better with armies.]

[Tell him about the death cult though, that he can relate to...]
konpeito_aji: (I'm listening - for now)

[personal profile] konpeito_aji 2021-05-11 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Extra hour a day... [Lol.] Japan hasn't even joined Europe on using hours yet, by my time.

Wait, were they trying to do?

[Don't let Mitsuhide around, he might stop Nobunaga from drinking too much, but he might also spike Shinji's drink in replacement for lack of Masamune!] Ahhhhh explain how Ken's Mom tied in for me?

Part of the sect? Organization? What do you call it?
