onwhitewings[Mitsuhide is playing his shamisen as he makes the voice post; it's a simple, gentle tune, and his own voice is just as gentle to match.]
So we were saved by the hands of a man on a stringed instrument... I cannot call that odd. I have been saved several times by a man playing his instrument, though in a very different manner, of course. [He laughs quietly.] It is good that we know some kind of peace again.
[The pace of his playing quickens a little.]
We have been gifted with the the sky again too. The sight of the ocean surface. The feeling of the wind on our faces. This new island is odd, and there are many unsettling things about it, but right now I cannot know less than joy at it becoming available to us. It is amazing, that such simple things can lighten my heart so. I find myself wishing that-
[Mitsuhide fumbles his playing then; he pauses mid-sentence to sigh, and starts over.]
I thought I had that one mastered...

Thank you; you are too kind. It is a little frustrating to mess this one up after the amount of times I have practised it. I had moved on to the next song Lord Motochika prepared for me... it seems I may need to take a few steps back in his lesson plans.

I suppose with this I am eager to get good as soon as possible. It is... important to me.

Date: 2011-10-28 07:38 am (UTC)Well, I'll keep cheering for you! I'm sure you'll get it down as long as it's important to you.

Date: 2011-11-01 10:01 am (UTC)No need to be modest with this.

Date: 2011-11-01 10:13 am (UTC)You are most welcome.

The scent of the real ocean, too. I swear, I acted just like a kid up there 'n ran around for hours. My legs are sore now, but man was it worth it.

It's wonderful, isn't it? I think I will be spending a lot of time up there in the future, regardless of that mist.

Date: 2011-10-25 02:27 am (UTC)I wasn't aware that you play an instrument Mitsuhide-san.

I do not share my playing very often... I have a long way to go still.

I follow a lesson plan he created for me. It's taking a lot of time, but... thank you. I hope so too.

Date: 2011-10-25 09:19 am (UTC)Something of one, perhaps? My Lord Motochika fights using a shamisen; he uses it as a blunt weapon, but also manipulates sound and water with it. We have fought together many times in the past, and he has saved and assisted me many times.

My name is Akechi Mitsuhide. It is an honour.

Ah, interesting? Well, as you wish, then, Joshua. I would most certainly not treat you in any other way; we must all stick together here and help one another, after all.

Date: 2011-10-31 04:06 pm (UTC)It is often a problem, when the curses afflict us... or when certain things invade the city. That is what most recently happened.

Date: 2011-11-01 07:07 pm (UTC)Vatheon occasionally puts us under a curse, though curse is not always the most perfect name. The ways they affect us are wide and varied, and completely unpredictable. Sometimes they are horrific, sometimes mild, sometimes positive... and sometimes just strange.

Date: 2011-11-02 03:28 pm (UTC)We have been invaded by 'zombie mermaids,' had all rumours come true no matter how ridiculous, had our thoughts shared with everyone around us through a 'thought bubble,' been turned into the opposite gender, experienced rains of rubber ducks, been followed by dark shadows, been followed by the ghosts of those we have lost, swapped bodies with other residents, had our powers changed, been invaded by vicious ghosts... and more. I can go on, if you wish.
