[WELL HELLO PERCY who is not Nico wow I keep wanting to type the wrong name. ANYWAY.

Yasusada probably won't be intentionally seeking out strangers--but he's dejected enough about the whole thing that he's not paying much attention to where he's going. He stops just in time to prevent himself from running into Percy, though it takes him a second to snap out of his thoughts.]

Oh, it's you. [I DON'T THINK THEY EXCHANGED NAMES I'M LOSING IT he's just "Riptide's master" in Yasu's head, this is fine.] Are you alright?

[hydrogenetic]

[It's been a fucking week and Percy still doesn't know Nico was in the castle, I'm crying. ANYWAY, it's kind of hard not to notice that Yasusada's a little down on his luck, and Percy's reflexes are sharp enough that he also manages to dodge at the last minute. It takes him a moment to look Yasusada over, because yeah, they never exchanged names, but he's nodding slowly.]

Hey. I'm...not sure? [Which is an honest sort of answer, but he shrugs.] I'll manage. Are you?

[okitactless]

[PERCYYYYY maybe Yasu will spill the beans, even though he doesn't know they know each other?? It's fine.

Actually it's not fine because!! A sword is dead and it's. Bad. Even if they all knew it was coming, Yasusada's disappointed anyway.]

...I'm not injured. [Which--if Yasusada were better at keeping his feelings to himself, he might leave it at that, but he has no filter, so.] But it's... I don't like that this happened.

[It's a very simple way of saying it, but that doesn't make it less true.]

[hydrogenetic]

[I hope he goes the whole game being clueless, it's fine. It's more fine than this because yikes yikes yikes.]

I don't either. I don't think any of us do...they promised us we weren't going to have to kill each other, but it still happened anyway. Doesn't seem fair, right?

W0 Saturday

[hydrogenetic]

[Well that was a shitshow. He's taking a walk to clear his head and he's pretty agitated by the proceedings, but as he goes he spots a familiar figure and raises his head in a nod of greeting.]

...doing okay? [A sword died so like. Probably not? But it's a basic question at least to see where Yasusada's temperament's at.]

[okitactless]

[What if he just never learns Percy's name

But no, here's a Yasusada! He's probably on his way back after nyooming for Evan. He looks a little surprised to be called out to, but he nods back, one hand curled into his scarf.

Is he okay? Haha! Not really!! But he's probably doing better than Lili, Stephanie, or Kara, so. He just kind of... drops his gaze to the floor, dejected.]

...I'm frustrated with him. [With Tsurumaru, he means.] He should have known better.

[hydrogenetic]

[Please never learn his name. But he recognizes that look and he nods.]

...you think so? I didn't know him as well as you guys. Barely at all. Was that normal behavior for him to go off on his own?

[okitactless]

[HE LOOKS

SO FUCKING TIRED]

Yes. Surprising people was one of his favorite things to do.

[Ookurikara wasn't lying, he was just fuckin cursed to be the one to admit it]

But he knew everyone was nervous! If he wanted to cause mischief, he should've done it with one of us.

[hydrogenetic]

Definitely not the surprise he was expecting then. [Yikes.] Some people just don't work well with teams, and even if you offer...it doesn't always work that way.

[He sounds a little bitter, but he pirouettes from it.] I feel kinda bad though. Evan didn't even do it on purpose, and we still have a ton of ex-murderers running around here.

[okitactless]

He's worse than the Sanjous...

[MUTTER GRUMBLE MUTTER except Yasusada is not from musical land or Katsugeki so he doesn't have that much to complain about. BUT STILL. "Old men do what they want" is a core principle of every Touken Ranbu Citadel tbh.

Anyway.]

Evan-kun shouldn't be punished. He tried to save him. [It's not fair he wants to say, but--the castle didn't operate fairly, either. Why should things go smoothly here?]

[hydrogenetic]

[Time to assume sanjous are more swords. So he's just blinking a little.]

Yeah. I don't think it should count either when it wasn't even really his fault. [...] Did you guys know each other very well? Evan, I know about Tsurumaru.

[okitactless]

[CORRECT.]

Evan-kun? [Yasusada frowns a little, thinking.] I suppose. We were in the castle together, and Okita-kun tried to look out for him.

[And since Okita's not here, it's fallen to him.]

[hydrogenetic]

So since Okita isn't here you decided it was your job? [Who is Okita, we just don't know.] I guess that makes sense. But...guess it doesn't make a huge difference now.
