[Mitsunari is minding his own business like usually.

Just.

Simmering in anger about Yukimura's bold need to join so that he can kill Ieyasu and such.

So he stormed off, leaving Yoshitsugu to deal with it.

For all people do is use him for their own ends. All people do is use him to get to Ieyasu. Ieyasu Ieyasu Ieyasu--

He is sick of it. And so he slams a clenched fist into a tree, pausing and narrowing his eyes at the ground.]

[This is just going to be an all-purpose post for my darling Gabe at this point because Mitsunari already dominates my musebox.]

[So troublesome.

So very, very troublesome.

He hadn't agreed with a contract with the mercenary so that she could get herself ill.

But he also knows that it's not her fault either, so it just makes him grumpy to know that logically--even as he knocks on her apartment door and shakes off his umbrella from the hideous rain outside.]


Magoichi!

[He was a broken man. Now, now that he had lost everything, he had nothing left to live for. Nothing, nothing, nothing, that much he knew as tears slid down his cheeks, messily smearing inelegantly.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Noth--

And then he was somewhere else entirely.

Mitsunari blinked despite himself. Blinked. Stared. And looked around himself blankly.

He had never seen the inside of a train before.

And he quite firmly, flopped on a seat, still a mess of emotions and broken shards, didn't know what was going on.]

[There was a number of things Mitsunari didn't understand and didn't feel the need to understand. There was Gyobu's fascination with the stars, for one, and the pirate's bizarre fascination with friendship that did not quite fit into his perception of loyalty. There was the way people flocked to Ieyasu--did they not see his lies for themselves?--and...

There were things that he didn't understand and decided it might be worth figuring out.

It took him some time to come to that conclusion in regards to Magoichi, his ally.

She was steadfast most of the time; it made it very easy to just accept her presence and move on.

And then she reacted oddly. And that was strange enough for him to feel the need, perhaps for once, to investigate.

Just this once.]


Magoichi.
unbending: (☽ EFF THIS)

[He'd never hesitate.

Not when it came to fighting for the Toyotomi. Not when it came to something as sacred as that. Mitsunari is fast and skilled--but he is not perfect. Surely it was only a matter of time before...he messed up.

And that was all it took. A moment's misstep, a moment's unbalance, but that was more than enough in the thick of a battle like this.

He was struck over the head, tumbling to the ground like a puppet with cut strings, sword skittering away on the dead and beaten ground. But thankfully--this was not where his story ended. Part luck and part protection on the part of the Toyotomi meant that he did not die on that battlefield. But injured he was, and he did not wake up even as the battle drew to a close and he was carried off the battlefield, under the care of the Toyotomi that he served so faithfully.

So with that care, it was really only a matter of time that he would wake up again, head bandaged and taken care of.

But when he opens his eyes, he doesn't move, merely blinking at the ceiling for a long moment--his actions are strangely muted for him, but perhaps he is simply still...not quite conscious?

Perhaps. Or perhaps it is something else entirely.]

[He's pacing. He's pacing because his nerves are taut and he is stressed and part of him can't believe this is even happening--

Why is this happening.

Why did he agree to this, anyway?

Pacing. Pacing back and forth, hands tucked in his pockets and not doing anything particularly productive, but hey. So long as he's keeping himself busy, he's okay.

...Or so goes the thought-process but he's still pretty scattered already. Things haven't even gotten started yet.]
unbending: (☽ I'm just not hungry okay)

[HOW DID THIS HAPPEN.

HE DOES NOT KNOW.

he got saddled with this peasant to begin with and then there was a box and he reached in to see what was in it and--

And now their fingers are stuck together. With some sort of colorful trap.

.........PULLING.]


What is this?!
unbending: (☽ it's a special relationship)
[personal profile] unbending
[It's strange.

The last thing he remembers is faltering for a moment. That split second was all it took, of course; Ieyasu did not falter and Ieyasu did not miss.

And Mitsunari wonders what happened in all of this. This wasn't how it was supposed to end. Would this sort of ending...would it disappoint Hideyoshi-sama...? He'd fought so very, very hard, only for the end to come to this--

And then he doesn't wonder anything at all.

Not until he opens his eyes and ponders how very strange this is. He remembers dying very starkly, and yet here he is. It's quiet, he notes, about the same time that he notes that his sword is very much absent.

It should not be absent. It should not be quiet. And he should not be alive.

But as he absently clenches a fist and looks up, he wonders if he really is alive at this point. The sky is blue; the ground beneath his feet is grassy and untouched. And--

And turns sharply as he realizes that there's someone else there.]
