⁽ ᵃᵖ ⁾ VOICE OF THE CRANE.

Yo. I'm Tsurumaru Kuninaga. Are you surprised that somebody like me came here so suddenly?

[hitokoe]

   TSURUMARU KUNINAGA ( 鶴丸国永 ) / TOUKEN RANBU

writing a sword in 2022? more likely than you think!!

very old crane sword (like almost 1000 years old). his swordsmith, gojo kuninaga, was the apprentice of the one and only sanjou munechika.

has the ocean depths’ worth of gap moe. he can be cool he can be pretty he can also be your deranged little meow meow.

had a lot of owners in his life, and was even been stolen - twice! he’s flattered, but please don’t go digging out graves for swords.

chaos instigator. conflict escalator. your prime suspect in stealing all the cookies from the cookie jar. his favorite hobby is finding new ways to surprise people.

he does have his own emotional baggage but who wants to talk about that!!! trauma? oh you mean the reason im hilarious

giving him a cellphone was a bad idea

has the color scheme of discord light mode

click here for a surprise ;)

♣ eat me ♣ 

A plethora of colorfully decorated cookies meticulously iced with the request eat me rest in a blue glass bowl. Will you test one? 

            Ohohoho what is this? The crane is quick to scuttle over to the jar placed in the middle of nowhere. He’s so glad someone else has been leaving April Fool’s traps around…!

            Tsurumaru doesn’t even take cautionary bite - he practically gobbles the entire piece up. What would it taste like, he wonders.

[hitokoe]

jcystyx·:

     …Looks to the left.

     …Looks to the right.

     Maybe this one actually does have a potion in it? Idia kneels down, inspecting the weirdly ornate chest that sticks out like a sore thumb in a random Archimedes side street, and attempts to open the lid.

          Oh Idia, but what if it was a mimic? That would have been an unfortunate encounter indeed...Ah, but be rest assured, nothing too dangerous would be in these suspicious chests!

          However, the moment the lid is opened - woosh! Comes out a blast of confetti (but not glitter, he’s not that mean) and is that a victory fanfare somewhere??? From inside the container pops out....

          A giant shark plushie.

          C...Congratulations?

[hitokoe]

          Happy April Fool's!!! And what better way to celebrate than with a healthy dose of surprises??

          Today you might come across an RPG looking treasure chest in a random street in the city. What's in it? Only one way to find out!

        ❝     are  you  certain  it  is  safe  to  eat  ?     ❞        embalmer  cannot  help  but  wonder  out  loud  as  he  looks  at  whatever  that  is  on  their  plate.  he  has  seen  people  eat  …  weirder  things  before,  but  he  is  certain  that  shouldn’t  go  on  top  of  a  pizza.  

@hitokoe   ♥'d  the starter call.

         Would you trust such a wide toothed grin? Bright and brilliant, the very impeccable portrait of purity. But well, that’s what everyone assumes about Tsurumaru Kuninaga until they get to know him better. “ I’m pretty sure! ” He gently nudges the plate forward for emphasis. “ I’ve eaten it a bunch of times before. It’s a surprising treat at parties. ”

         There’s a reason why he has been banned from the citadel’s kitchens, after all.

    whoa, he’s cute! not to mention it looks like he’s been in a few battles…. those were the sort of thoughts swirling inside of her head. she had paused the stranger to ask for directions to the nearest udon place to satiate a craving she’s had since the Earth had been bleached, but she was quickly derailed. half paying attention, half letting her mind run wild, her gaze narrows. if he had seen combat….she’d have to get a feel for his fighting style first. it was probably elegant, based on appearances alone. would it have been like that monk? or perhaps–

     oh, wait, he was saying something to her, wasn’t he? pull it together, Musashi! “ Eh? My name? Sure! “ one hand is placed against her chest, her expression trying to mimic something for her introduction, though…at best, she just looks like she’s scheming to steal something.

    “ Shinmen Musashi-no-Kami Fujiwara no Harunobubu! Ah, but just call me Musashi, Musashi Miyamoto!”

@hitokoe· – starter call

          His skill in spirituality is nothing to the likes of most ceremonial swords, and religion has never been a huge part of his identity - but he used to be a shrine sword for a time. And with that came the ability to sense other spirits. The supernatural appeared to be a common sight in this city, so much that it has stopped being of note. And yet, something else took his attention regarding the woman before him. Her eyes and build - even the way she holds herself - is clearly that of the warrior. Of course, being a sword himself, he would have noticed the weapon upon her person. Mundanely wooden - much like the one given to him.

          Curiosity got the better of Tsurumaru, so when she happened to approach him for inquiries he was only glad to answer. “ Almost as good as the ones made in Kagawa, ” he even supplied, golden eyes glinting in the sunlight. This crane only wanted her name in return, curious if she was a tsukumogami just like him, or something different altogether.

          But for her to be a certain famous historical figure…even this wasn’t anything he expected. For a moment his complexion paled, before he quickly buried down his feelings with a smile.  “ Whoa, this is a surprise! I never expected to meet the legendary Musashi Miyamoto around here. ” At the very least, that surprise was genuine.

          Tsurumaru’s lucky that she’s very different from the Musashi of his own timeline. A far off cry from that bloodstained figure he saw back in Shimabara. That way, he wouldn’t feel his stomach turn.

          “ Tsurumaru Kuninaga. Our blades have never crossed, but it is an honor to meet you! ” He draws his crossed arms from his furisode, and reaches out with half-gloved hands. This too, has a purpose - two seasoned fighters such as them would know of the other’s experience just by observing their hands.

Why is he winking? Oh well! Why does that matter? Cosmo grabs a bottle of wasabi they found lying on the counter. They squeeze it into a spoon and eat it. Only for them to spit it out again a few seconds later.

“EW! BLECH! WHY IS THIS SO SPICY?!”

At the very least, his laughter isn’t out of malice. He is clearly very amused, though.

“ Are you surprised? It’s a different kind of spice compared to chili! ” It’s a classic surprise, putting wasabi in unexpected places. “ If you drink or eat something, it should go away quickly. ”

FROM   -   HEADCANON MEMES

@bindingheart and @sanpatron said: [ 🦋 ] does your muse have any unconventional interests? what are they?

You could say that Tsurumaru's general interests are so unconventional that his 'unconventional' interests happen to be the most conventional! As a lover of surprises and unexpected things, he loves trying out anything and everything around him. Especially when it comes to hobbies where he can move around, like sports or getting chased around because he 'borrowed' someone's prayer wand and he wouldn't give it back. The list of things he has done for amusement would be a long one, and even if some of them doesn't last there is always a chance that he would pick it up again later.

So an example of a conventional unconventional interest would be knitting - it's not something he would do often, but it would come up as an idea to surprise the others! Furthermore, because it's Tsurumaru, he'd probably do something like knitting up a troll pattern on a scarf before giving it to someone else as a gift.

❀                  TOUKEN RANBU SENTENCE STARTERS             ❀

since I haven’t seen any tkrb sentence starters, here are some sayings of some of the characters of touken ranbu. I tried to include as many characters as possible into this, but there are so many! and still I went a little overboard.  there are more under the cut; feel free to change the pronouns to your liking.

❛  so, what will you do now? ❜ ❛  I wonder what exactly is expected of me. ❜ ❛  I’m off. to some place far away. ❜ ❛  I don’t like the look you’re giving me. ❜ ❛  thought you could kill me with that? ❜ ❛  now, come. I’m right here, bring it on. ❜ ❛  using a new weapon is also a form of training. ❜ ❛  abandon your worldly desires and turn your heart to stone. ❜ ❛  being agitated will do you no favors. ❜ ❛  if the mind is calmed and quieted, even fire may feel cold. ❜ ❛  muscle..I must build more muscle! ❜ ❛  what matters is not wether you win or lose, but what you have gained from the battle. ❜ ❛  I wonder if a sword’s name is something that contains the emotions of its owners. ❜ ❛  well, I sure messed up in that battle just now. ❜ ❛  oh, I didn’t notice we had a new friend. ❜ ❛  well then, it’s time to exterminate some demons. ❜ ❛  even if the enemies are demons, I will easily cut them all. ❜ ❛  if not properly maintained, a sword will quickly become unusable. ❜ ❛  evil spirits are near by. ❜ ❛  once again, we will be separated. ❜ ❛  my strikes are as storms! ❜ ❛  you drink some too, I’ll pour it for you. ❜ ❛   if I get drunk I won’t be hurt anymore. ❜ ❛  the darkness I carry, everyone sees beauty in it.. I don’t understand why. ❜ ❛  do you have an opponent you wish to take revenge upon? ❜ ❛  preparing for battles makes me feel at ease. ❜ ❛  I was able to do more than I thought I could. ❜ ❛  I will fight alone, and I will die alone. ❜ ❛  I don’t intend on getting friendly. ❜ ❛  actions speak louder than words. ❜ ❛  don’t get careless. we don’t know where the enemy is hiding. ❜ ❛  scouting isn’t really my thing. ❜ ❛  ora ora oraa! ❜ ❛  make it look like a feint… and then attack! ❜ ❛  wanna go one-on-one? ❜ ❛  was I loved until the end? ❜ ❛  I don’t like jobs that make me dirty. ❜ ❛  I wonder who the person who loves me the most is. ❜ ❛  am I that odd? ❜ ❛  I’ll show you my true strength. ❜ ❛  did you think you could win the duel? ❜ ❛  oh, I’ll kill you! little kitty! ❜ ❛  to battle foreign foes is my destiny. ❜ ❛  you must not judge others on appearance alone. ❜ ❛  the older the crow, the wiser. ❜ ❛  the fate of killing and being killed ends here. ❜ ❛  our sworn enemy is just within. be prepared. ❜ ❛  do you, too, wish to rule the world? ❜ ❛  I am just like a caged bird… not meant to be used, but to simply exist. ❜ ❛  there is nothing I can do but come back to you. ❜ ❛  I hope he’ll return sooner or later. if he dies on the way then that’s the end for him.  ❜ ❛  fashion is not one of my strong points. I always need to ask other people for help.  ❜ ❛  I do not particularly mind losing. ❜ ❛  a one-on-one duel. how antiquated. ❜ ❛  all things are meant to perish one day. ❜ ❛  if we have some tea and cakes, surely we will have a good time together. ❜ ❛  do you want me to… princess carry you? ❜ ❛  my fur’s all messed up. ❜ ❛  I will become stronger. ❜ ❛  money makes the world go round. ❜ ❛  be purified. be cleansed. ❜ ❛  let’s strive to do our best today as well. ❜ ❛  I’m not fond of calculations. ❜ ❛  experiencing the casual changing of the seasons is an elegant thing. ❜ ❛  it seems you understand the importance of hospitality. ❜ ❛  I will decide on battle preparations. ❜ ❛  it seems the wound is more severe than I thought. ❜ ❛  you bastard… you deserve to die a thousand times! ❜ ❛  at least fall in battle with elegance. ❜ ❛  could it be that you are charmed by me? ❜ ❛  it’s just a scratch though. ❜ ❛  I did my job. you can’t complain, right? ❜ ❛  it’s pretty irritating that I’ve gotten used to this nonsense. ❜ ❛  wow, you’re a real worrywart, huh? ❜ ❛  guns are of this period. swords are so old fashioned. ❜ ❛  what’s with the air in here? nothing but the smell of blood and death. ❜ ❛  I’m  ______  partner and assistant, after all. ❜ ❛  being practical and elegant is easier said than done. ❜ ❛  sorry, but I can play dirty too! ❜ ❛  assassination and sneak attacks are my specialty. ❜ ❛  surprises are essential in life ❜
