…

There’s a vineyard on this island. On the other side, away from town. What the hell. Clubs, bars, hotels, a pretty fucking decent food market, and a vineyard.

Can we never leave?


Unrelated, but – turkey, ham, or both?

Oh, and I need a head count. Mashiro-san, you guys are staying through Thursday at least, right?? ...And you, Ace?

The dojo here isn't bad, either.

Turkey.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

There's a dojo? Is that where you've been?

I decided on both.

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Yeah, found it earlier today. The sensei is this crazy swordswoman; s'pretty interesting here.

For this Thanksgiving thing, right?

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Swordswoman, huh. Bet that caught your interest.

Yeah. George-san says we should just do turkey, but...I like ham. So both. Anything in particular YOU want?

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Mm-hm. Knew there had to be more of 'em out there...

Seems like everybody wants both. You know as long as there's booze, I'll be good.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

She pretty?

...Yeah, way to be predictable, marimo.

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

...I guess? Very distinguished, and some beautifully spare swordwork. Think her blade's a Meitou.

Whatever, simple needs, cook.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

...I ask about her looks and you tell me about her sword. Typical.

Yeah, no kidding. You gotta come with us tonight, by the way.

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Huh? What the hell do her looks matter? She's aged well, I suppose, but as a sensei it's more important that her swordplay is impressive.

No, I don't. I've been out practically every night we've been here.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

They don't matter, I was just curious! And -- what do you mean, aged well?

Because we're at an island that's actually got places WORTH going to. Anyway, people want you to come for some reason I can't really fathom. So just come.

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Always the women and the looks with you. And Takei-sensei must be near sixty, but she's in great shape; still whupping everyone here without breaking a sweat.

They'll get over it. There's this training challenge, the Thousand Year Journey of Pain, that I wanna try. I figure I could do it in a week, at most.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

......Near sixty. Right, not interested anymore.

And just what the hell is that?

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

So shallow, cook.

Think it's a kind of obstacle course around the whole circuit of the island. Climbing the mountain, fording rivers, crossing the desert, etc etc.

[flatlikeawall.livejournal.com]

You went to challenge random people?

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Hah? No, I found it kind of accidentally. Nobody here's really on my level, but the style is interesting n'the sensei's very experienced.

[flatlikeawall.livejournal.com]

We could have a competition.

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Who, you and me?

[flatlikeawall.livejournal.com]

Who else?

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

What kinda competition?

[flatlikeawall.livejournal.com]

Who can take on the most members. It's too late now.

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

Hah, I haven't done that kind of thing since I was a kid. Not that I'd do it now, but why's it too late?

[flatlikeawall.livejournal.com]

You already left the dojo.

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

No I didn't. I'm still here.

[flatlikeawall.livejournal.com]

I don't know how to get there.

[strayswordsman.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, I don't remember that, either. These people wouldn't really be a challenge, anyway.
