Gonna make this blog a part of a multi-muse account. If you haven’t yet, go follow echigonogunshin, will fill you in on the deets.

ECK just found out that’s not possible.

In that case gonna make an ENTIRELY NEW BLOG, and move Kenshin over to a new blog too (because evidently you can’t change a main blog to a secondary one) before I go to sleep.

Keep an eye on the url orchidlad, I’ll move Ranmaru there.

Sunfall :.

[oranrp-blog]

fxnal-dream:

    The sun falls. The moon reigns supreme.

    The nightly gale blows past the dead trees and the dry grass of the forest, bats zooming past the darkened horizon of the dead day. Night bugs lit the path with their luminescent bulbs, with the last ray of sun perishing from plain sight.

    Walking along that path was a Samurai. She was tall and pale, her outfit consisting of red and white, and her dark lavender hair collected into a lengthy ponytail. One could easily mistake her for a man with her strong facial features, as she didn’t look her gender.

    She continued to walk a lonely road with the moon collecting its power in front of her. It was a blue moon, and it was that of a very rare sight. She stood in place for a moment, to admire the omnipotent glow of the skies above, before settling down in from of a tall tree. She would sleep here, for the night. She would continue her journey tomorrow.

    Before the warrior took the time to rest, however, she began to polish and sharpen her blade, in case she were to encounter a threat of some sort. The youkai during these hours are quite ravenous and blood thirsty. It was only the wisest thing to do to ready herself for anything.

Ranmaru was walking down the same road she was, albeit, in the opposite direction. He carried a lantern in one hand, clearly devoted to getting to his destination regardless of the time of day. He didn’t notice the handsome woman at first, concentrating a bit too much on the moon peeking through the trees lining the path. 

“Absolutely beautiful... I wish you could see it, Nobunaga-sama...”

It was 1582. The aftermath of the Honnoji incident. He had wanted to save his lord, or at least die with his lord. But the man insisted otherwise. “Keep moving forward,” Nobunaga had said. It took several of the fleeing women grabbing Ranmaru at Nobunaga’s order to force Ran from that spot.

Tear stains were evident on the young man’s tattered, charred clothing. He cried far too often since that day a week ago. Ran had hoped to avenge Nobunaga- to kill Mitsuhide.. but he’d been beaten to that by Hideyoshi.

It was like he was a ghost, unable to move on to the next life, chained to the land itself. He just decided to wander, a ronin.

He sat himself by a tree not far from the woman’s, resting for but a moment. His feet hurt. He looked up, and saw her, then heard her blade grinding against the whetstone.

“..... ma’am, are you alright?” It took him a moment, but he recognized her as a woman. She was handsome beyond belief, but not unlike his pretty face, her appearance belied her.

   “I just want this cold heart of mine to experience the warmth of spring… is that just so much to ask for…?” For just one man to see her for what she truly was? To admire her, and shower her with the attention she would always see all the other maidens get? Why did that fantasy to ride off on horseback into the sunset with a chivalrous warrior seem so far off…?

   “EYAAAAA!!! IT’S NOT FAIR?!”

Ranmaru was taking a shortcut back to the current castle the Oda were using as a base in their campaign into the Takeda lands. It went quite close to a Hojo castle... no major deal, given the Hojo-Tokugawa alliance.

But then he heard a cry of utter pain and anger from a woman. Concerned, he rode his horse in the direction of the sound. Then he saw Kaihime, and no one else. Must have been her. He rode his horse up to her, staring down at her in concern.

“A-are you alright my lady?” he asked, concern evident in his eyes.

Head turned to stare but then her smile became more of a smile sign of how pleased by how quick Ranmaru accepted in allowing her be the one. Of course she was high in status, even more high then Hideyoshi. Simply put it it she was more powerful then her own husband was but she let Hideyoshi seem like it more. Walking out of the room she’d returning momets later with tray of tea cups,plate of ogiri, and kettle that held the hot water placing it on the table. Nene then placed tea cup before Ranmaru and herself, then grabbed the kettle pouring the water into thier cups which made the tea.

“Here you go, please enjoy yourself.” she smiled motherly at him.

“My Lady... you treat Ran too well. T-thank you...”

Ranmaru lowered his head before looking at the food laid out before him. The young man picked up one of the onigiri and took a bite. As he expected, it was flawless. “Delicious...” he murmured out, before proceeding to veritably gobble it all down!

The Devil Orchid

   Taki had been fairly surprised (If not curious) when the renowned Demon King had requested her assistance that one chilly spring, but remaining as faithful as ever to her duties as a demon huntress, the woman had efficiently answered his summons and quickly made her way to Azuchi.

   … The ninja had patiently waited for whomever it was that would come through those sliding doors then, and it was safe to say that Taki was once more a little taken back once a fair faced youth stepped in and took his place from across her… It would seem that, Lord Nobunaga himself was away for the time being.

   Giving a single blink, the woman soon enough returned the other’s bow, though with not as much gusto as compared to him. “Yes, I have heard of you.” She replied, it was definitely saying something if she herself had heard of one of Lord Nobunaga’s most loyal attendants, “It is an honour to meet your acquaintance, Ranmaru-san.” While not smiling for the young man’s surprisingly genuine words of admiration, the kunoichi kindly nodded back to him then, gesturing him to continue.

Ranmaru had taken notice of the woman’s surprise. He wondered if it was because Nobunaga was not here, or if it was simply due to his own appearance. He did not let it bother him however and looked up at her as she spoke, sitting up after she nodded at him. His hands knitted neatly into his lap, his lips pulling into a generous smile.

“You have heard of Ran? My lady, it is an honor then, that you consider this one’s acquaintance an honor.” The door slid open, a servant bringing in some tea. “Thank you, Saburo-san,” Ranmaru said, before serving the beverage and placing it before Taki. “Now then, what is it that Ran can do to make your visit enjoyable? Nobunaga-sama will not be back for a few hours yet, I’m afraid”

She smiled, a touch charmed by the way he hurried to correct himself. “Don’t worry about it, kid. You don’t have to worry about being proper with me - I promise you, it’s impossible to offend me.”

Hanbei. Now there was a familiar name - while she wasn’t familiar with the strategist personally, she’d seen him around. This army has a real thing for baby faces and scary bastards. Interesting combination.

“That so? Well, he isn’t wrong. Maybe it just takes some time to get used to it, but…I don’t think I’ve adjusted yet. I can’t imagine how it’s been for you, as young as you are.”

“Is that so? Hm...” He blinked a few times, before smiling at her. “I still wouldn’t wish to do so accidentally. But I’m glad to hear it.” Ranmaru crossed his arms over his chest, nodding again and again as she spoke, clearly doing his best to listen.

“Young? Oh! I’m 19 years old, Rumi!” he said. “I’m technically a man now... but I still dress like a boy. Lord Nobunaga asked me to. But I rather like such clothing so it isn’t so bad.”

“C-can we go to the uh…” Tomoko lowered her voice for the rest of the sentence, feeling a bit stupid and childish for wanting to go to such a pace. “Hello Kitty Cafe..?”

And here she started blubbering and prattling yet again. “I-It’s fine if you don’t want to go, though! I understand it can be embarrassing and you’re the student council president after all so you have a reputation to maintain haha so if you want to be mature and all and not go into a silly cafe I’m fine by it! Haha! Haha…”

Ranmaru noticed her voice get all the quieter as she continued to speak. Obviously she wasn’t proud of saying she enjoyed Hello Kitty... but... why? “Now now, we can go of course. I’m not sure why you’d--”

Ramaru blinked as she went off on a tirade again, eyes wide whenever they weren’t closing. She had... a lot of worry in that small body of hers didn’t she? “Now hold on, hold on!”

“I said I’ll take you where you’d like to go. I have no issue with going to such a cafe. I think the idea is rather cute, actually, hehe. Now I think I know where the arcade is, so, shall we?” he asked, turning towards the door of the school, which, coincidentally, was right before them.

As much as she tried to keep her expression neutral, she couldn’t help but grin. There was something she liked about Ranmaru, a straightforward earnestness that seemed so rare with most other people, particularly in a place like this. Fidgeting a little, she curled a finger around the bowstring, giving it a satisfactory twang as she listened.

“Ahh, you’re being too kind. I just hope that I can make myself useful,” she said. “Everyone here seems kinda…Intimidating, you know?” Especially that fucking creep Nobunaga. Not that you need to know that, little guy.

The young samurai watched as she played with her bow, a tad curious about its make. Then, as she spoke, he paid full attention, straightening up. “Mm! I do not mean to flatter!” Ranmaru yelped out, before blinking and nodding once. “Ah... though, I’m certain you will, Rumi-san, so long as you apply yourself.”

“Hmm... You seem like Lord Hanbei. He shares similar thoughts. There are a lot of rough people among our number...”

⊱ 🌸 ⊰ — “You are adorable.” the dancer smiled fondly towards the other. “Your praises flatter me, I thank you for such compliments.”

“Also, if you love your Lord more than anything, of course you will forever be loyal to him. Trust in yourself.”

"A-ah Lady Diaochan...” He bowed his head at her own compliment, the soft blush on his face only serving to grow.

“... mm... Yes, you’re absolutely right. Ran is not the most confident at times, but I should be! Hm!”

tomokoii:

Tomoko chuckled nervously, afraid of what reaction she might evoke if she were to really state the locations in town that she wanted to take a visit to. She is pretty nerdy, and it’s awfully embarrassing. Sure, it’s even more embarrassing to go alone, but she didn’t want her senpai to think badly of her! Oh, she really wanted to go to the arcade and Hello Kitty Cafe, though…

“C-can we go to the arcade..? O-only if you want to! If you don’t want to we don’t have to go I mean you’re the one who offered anyways and you’re paying, too, since I don’t have any money on me and it was your idea so I don’t want to just let you not have fun and-” the raven-haired  girl paused. She was babbling incoherently again. God, he probably wasn’t even able to keep up with any of the words she’d spoken. The girl let out a brief sigh. Why does she do this? 

“Sorry,” she apologized, her voice soft.

Ranmaru might not have seemed like it, but he was a bit of a nerd himself. Certainly, not for pop culture things, but he had a vested interest in the tea ceremony and poetry. He could understand being passionate about something outside the norm. “Ah! Don’t be sorry! It’s fine, Tomoko-kouhai!” Ranmaru insisted, chuckling gently. He was able to keep up with her- he didn’t become class president with poor listening skills after all! The young woman talked a lot, certainly, but it didn’t offput him. It was obvious she was still learning how much she needed to say. “At any rate, of course we can go to the arcade. I’m not particularly good at video games but perhaps you could teach me.”

The upperclassman’s fingers twitched a bit, as if to squeeze her hand reassuringly. “Where else would you like to go?”

"Lady Nene! Are you alright? Um, is there anything Ran can do for you--?" And suddenly the page tripped over his own feet in his eagerness to please, and onto his butt. "Ow..."

“Oh my! You okay Ranmaru?”  she asked while walking over towards the young page and leaning down offering her hand to take. Thinking about herself she seemed be in pretty well spirits.

“I’m fine really, if you want do something why not stay for while and keep me some company? Others are busy but hopefully you at least have some time to spare.”

Giving him pat on his shoulder dusting him off bit, warm smile was present and it grew bigger when hearing him accept her invitation to stay for a bit. ”Certainly wouldn’t mind company. Besides you work hard and deserve take small break. Oh I know! I’ll fetch us tea while you share on your day thus far..I bet others are teasing you but hopefully its not to too much.” 

“Ah, Lady Nene. Shouldn’t I--? Mmn, never mind.”  At first Ranmaru wanted to offer to make the tea, but then he realized there was no arguing with Lady Nene- if she wanted to serve you, she was going to serve you and if you disagreed... Well, you’d end up with a lump on your butt. “Thank you,” he said with a smile, sitting down in proper seiza style. “I’d be happy to.”
