Ishida Mitsunari | Saika Magoichi | 017

[insultea]

[And then he is not where he is supposed to be.

Mitsunari totters for a moment, off-kilter, blinking around him in a befuddled way. Last he remembered he had just received that dratted letter from Ieyasu's men--

But no, now he...

He was in a camp...?

...This was going to be very bad, wasn't it?]

[insultea]

[whoops fourth wall what fourth wall--

I mean.

He nods, bringing a hand to his chin as he ponders this.]

It would seem so. I will have to find a way to return home, soon--my place is with the Toyotomi.

[redbelltolls]

Of course. We shall just have to see what we can do about that.

[insultea]

[...a slow nod.]

I would appreciate your assistance, Saika-dono.

[There's a fair amount of respect for this woman there.]

[redbelltolls]

[ Magoichi gives a soft snort of amusement and waves her hand. ]

Do not be so polite. I just object to anyone dropping random men in the middle of my camp.

[insultea]

[....Pffff.]

I would not scorn your assistance and hospitality in such a way.

[He's a little more politically savvy than that.]

[redbelltolls]

[ This man... Magoichi shakes her head. ]

Such a gentleman. It is quite cute.

[ Anyway! She gets to her feet again, debating how to start this. ]

Men, canvas the camp from top to bottom! I want to know if there is anything a hair out of place!

[insultea]

[...there is an extremely attractive lady.

and she calls him cute

s-sob.]

...ah....

[He'll just...remain there, wondering why it feels like his pride has been bruised, as she gives out orders.

...B(]

[redbelltolls]

[ After she is done giving orders, she looks back at Mitsunari, not noticing his tender pride. ]

Will you lead me to the place you arrived? Let us have a looksee about the area ourselves.

[insultea]

[Alas, his poor bruised pride.

But he merely nods, standing easily.]

Of course. It is this way.

[And he'll just start walking, clearly unbothered by being in a strange place now that he is making progress.]

[redbelltolls]

[ Magoichi follows along, keeping a sharp look-out for anything suspicious. She was serious when she said she disliked the idea of random men infiltrating her camp, however they did it. ]

[insultea]

[And then he stops in the middle of the camp, tilting his head and peering around.

A brief nod.]

It was here.

[redbelltolls]

[ Magoichi scouts the area, eyes sharp as she searches for anything out of place. Her frown grows, however, as nothing makes itself apparent. ]

[insultea]

[He is also looking around...and merely shakes his head a moment later with a quiet huff.]

It makes no sense...

[redbelltolls]

None at all. It is possible whoever did this made a mistake, causing you to appear here instead of somewhere else.

[insultea]

[...h-huff.]

I am not sure I like the idea of someone sending me wherever they please on a whim.

[redbelltolls]

I think only a fool would enjoy it.

[insultea]

Mm. I would like to believe myself to not be a fool as well, so I am glad we are in agreement there.

[redbelltolls]

Do you know of anyone with this sort of power, in your... world, for a lack of a better term?

[insultea]

...Perhaps. It is difficult to say, with all of Yukimura's meddling--

[ahem ahem his stupid crazy braves and their stupid crazy craziness.]

[redbelltolls]

What sort of meddling are we speaking of?

[insultea]

He and his Braves.

[It is an almost dainty huff. Oh Yukimura.]

He believes they shall win him the war--or at the very least, shall allow him to remain happily isolated.

[redbelltolls]

...quite a lot of faith he has in them.

[insultea]

...indeed.

[He doesn't entirely approve.]

Though they have served him in good stead, it seems a heavy burden to bear for merely ten retainers, though I admit they are quite skilled.

[redbelltolls]

Only ten? That is a foolish few, however skilled they might be.

[ She doesn't either, because, well, it sounds dumb. ]

[insultea]

[grumble]

Foolish is the word that best describes him, to put it simply.

[he's mean to his friends.]
