Aug. 26th, 2011 05:47 pm[Mitsuhide sounds incredibly thoughtful today. There is good reason for that, which is revealed almost immediately.]
I have now been in Vatheon for a year... or, rather, somewhat more than a year. The exact day of that anniversary passed by without me even realising it. I confess I was somewhat occupied with other matters, at the time. Better late than never?
[There is not much humour in the brief chuckle he makes. Those 'other matters' are something that will likely never stop occupying him, to some degree.]
Much has happened since I arrived. The things I have done, seen, learnt... so much of it is beyond what I would have considered possible back home. Even much of the technology I now use with ease was a wonder back then. The first time I attempted to use the things in my kitchen I sustained minor burns.
[Mitsuhide laughs again, this time with actual humour.]
At the very least I did not destroy any parts of the kitchen in the process, unlike a certain member of my household.
[Hint: the name of the person who did so begins with a 'G' and ends with a 'racia.']
The curses were responsible for the strangest of my experiences, of course. I have lived in my Lord Motochika's body for a week, seen my own thoughts and the thoughts of others put on display, become a young woman with odd magical powers, temporarily deveoped a fondness for the colour yellow, had my skin gain the taste of peaches, revisited my childhood, been drunk for days on end and had my sense enhanced.
Some of those curses, including the one where I was visited by visions of Lady Noh, Ranmaru and... and Lord Nobunaga... [His voice grows shaky when he says that name; it would be a long time before he could even think of his former Lord without remembering the pain of Honnouji and the feelings of guilt that accompanied it.] They were also some of the worst of my experiences in this place. I am sure many of you can say the same.
[He takes a moment to steady himself before continuing.]
But no matter what, I am glad to be here. Perhaps few can say the same, I am not sure, but Vatheon gave me the chance to do some good again. To have a purpose. To meet the child another version of myself had, the bright and curious daughter who has far more faith in me than I could ever deserve. It has allowed me to be at Lord Motochika's side again, and realise the extent of my feelings for him.
If the chance to return to our worlds through our own choice ever comes... I will not take it.
[There is a long pause. This is, for Mitsuhide, a bit of an unusual post and he is a little unsure how he should finish it.]
I suppose that's it. I felt like sharing a little of what I have experienced here with you all, I guess. There are quite a few newcomers here, are there not? My name is Akechi Mitsuhide; feel free to ask me anything further about the curses or the city. I should share my knowledge, however limited it might be, wherever it helps.
