YOU'VE REACHED THE VOICEMAIL OF: ... Haah? Bad timing! Whatever you're looking for, it's gonna have to wait. Drop a message, if you're that desperate. ... Is that how it works? Pretty cool-- [ goddamnit stop the english!! beep. ] |
text, sometime in january;
Luckily for the both of them, he doesn't spam Masamune's inbox like what he does with his other friends - because the samurai does command a deep sense of respect from him, and he would feel bad about bothering his master too much.
So the message just comes with one attachment, a selfie of Mitsutada with his dragon. The focus of the photo is on the dragon, though - which is perched on his shoulder and chewing on his leather chest guard.
Like him, it also has an eyepatch on the right eye. That makes three dategumis with eyepatches running around. ]
master!
shishiou gave me this dragon
could i get your opinion on what i should name him?
no subject
speaking of interest, of course it's piqued in this situation. the sender, the subject matter--see, that's a dragon, and while it's smaller than he'd like (is it a dragon dragon and not some other future thing? who knows), that's still a dragon and it's got an eyepatch.
nice point of amusement. okay, well, that plus the fact mitsutada is asking for naming advice from the guy who called him candlestick slasher. ]
leather biter
[ is what masamune sends after his struggle with the keyboard.
HE'S JUST KIDDING maybe it is a mystery ]
no subject
But a different problem soon presents itself, as he counts the number of letters in the name that was suggested. ]
okay
but it's a bit too long to fit on the name plate i think
how shall i make it shorter
no subject
except "leather biter" is too long, and masamune wonders what the future is good for. ... no, more like he thinks about how to fix that. ]
too long
all right
[ here it comes. the pinnacle of originality, an innovative solution that only the one-eyed dragon can provide-- ]
leatherbiter
[ genius. ]
no subject
that works
thank you!!!!
[ He hasn't complained outwardly about being called candlestick-slasher, so this isn't odd at all. The poor dragon doesn't have a last name, but he could make it work... via truncation. Probably. ]
no subject
no need for thanks
that was nop roblem
[ except for the part where it's so hard to text Holy Moly. ]
misfire text round 2 + 1/2
[It's a text that Natalia writes out with the message first, then moves to scroll through the contact list. Admittedly 'Masamune' is pretty hilariously far from 'Yang' and yet when she sneezes just before she sends the message, her thumb just so happens to scroll through recklessly and the message gets sent.
Oh no.]
3 minutes later
But honestly she can't really stand to just.... leave the message out there.... oh.]
Please forgive me, this text was meant to go to another person. These devices are so unruly at times.
ok i lied but now i'm done
That said your opinion, should you have one, would still be appreciated.
Have a good day.
[????????
smooth like sandpaper]
bless
( he hasn't ).
but masamune can appreciate the effort put forth to salvage a SOCIAL DISASTER™!! ( it's not ), and the message is there, so might as well respond. ]
hah
it soundslike you strike a bit of fear in that yata guy's heart
[ no masamune you don't know what you're talking about. but this is the first, delayed. phones are hard okay. smooth like sandpaper. the second: ]
Nice save
1/2
but Natalia honestly forgets that this is a stranger for a moment, speaking her mind.... as she always does....]
Perhaps but that's hardly my fault. He's afraid of all women.
[???? are you slandering someone, natalia. and her response after matches his, not even realizing that he might be sarcastic-]
But oh, thank you. It's best to make what you can of an odd situation, I think.
6 minutes later
[natalia, this guy probably doesn't even know yata
whatever at least she's continuing the conversation]
no subject
--but okay, now he knows yata, whoever he is ( bless his soul ), is. something else. not that masamune can't see why a weaker man might be daunted, this woman seems like the type to completely hold her ground. ( you don't know anything. )
then the next text comes when he thought that was all she needed, and he's just. cry for help....... ]
Cryf or help aimed at the type of person he's scared of
not my style but if that's the caseYata has a bigger backbone than It hought
[ masamune, no. ]
Maybe he's decided to overcome some of that starting with calling you out first
If that's how it is give him a hand for his efforts
[ masamune's image of helping: FIGHT HIM or something so he's less scared. become his RIVAL. that's how this works right. ]
no subject
He's 'calling me out'?!
[what havoc have you wrought]
That is terminology akin to throwing down the gauntlet, is it not?
[SHE'LL FIGHT HIM]
no subject
in other words: he wouldn't phrase it that way, but yes, she's getting it Totally. ]
that's right
it means he's looking for a challenge
no better way to conquer your fears than looking them straight in the face, yeah?
[ no, stop..... ]
no subject
Very well then. I shall respect Yata's courage and accept his challenge. As his friend, it is the very least I can do.
[what the hell is happening here, masamune what have you wrought]
You are very wise. Is this how men communicate?
[NO]
no subject
inflate his ego a little more, give kojuro a harder job, natalia's super already. he'd been typing something along the lines of "and he'll thank you for that" (NO YATA WILL NOT), but he's slow and her next question comes in.
so, he pauses. then, backspacebackspacebackspace-- ]
'not all the time
but theres no clearer words than the ones between crossed swords
[ thoughts of sanada yukimura, etc, what the fuck ]
no subject
So the easiest way to communicate with a man is through locking blades with him?
[another bad idea is brewing]
I see. Then I must take up swordplay to be taken more seriously!
1/2
now, time for six swords. ]
That's it
A swordsn ot a bad thing to pick up in this kind of place either
so good luck with that
no subject
(IT'S IMPORTANT).
next. ]
whats a movie
no subject
but she will see an opportunity here]
You speak as though you are an accomplished swordsman.
I consider myself an astute student of movies.
[this can't be leading anywhere good]
I propose that if you instruct me in swordsmanship, I will introduce you to the movies of this world.
[fuck]
no subject
[ dear kojuro, she's holding mean girls ransom.
... he actually does take a moment to consider this. he doesn't give sword lessons willy-nilly (or at all), but he can't remain ignorant to the way this world works. see, it seemed like sending movies was a way to send a message in this world, so obviously he has to learn how to send those messages--
--and whenever sanada yukimura decided to pop up, he'd be well-versed enough to send one of these movies of his own as a challenge. (fight club) ]
youre trying to make a deal with the one eyed dragon are you
no subject
who calls themselves that
unless that's what they actually are????
please note that Natalia is now imagining that she's actually speaking to an intelligent cyclops dragon]
I am.
[simple and getting her point across
as she also deeply considers what it must be like to try to hold a sword in dragon claws]
no subject
................ she's holding her ground, making a deal with him. that deserves some respect. this is obviously going to take a painstakingly long time to consider. he must carefully weigh the pros and cons, like he makes all his decisions-- ]
all right
you get what you wanted
name the time
[ --haha just kidding he's date masamune. he likes her well enough so far, and maybe this'll be fun. ]
no subject
I have recently found myself fighting against a bout of illness.
Give me two days times to rid myself of it and we may put our deal into action.
[Just so that he knows that she's not backing off or having cold feet!! but also she'd rather not cough all over a dragon, that doesn't sound graceful at all]
no subject
just kidding. time to Better Connect With The Menfolk on natalia's end, and time for masamune to connect with his inner chick-flick lover. ]
defeat that quickly and we'll meet in two days, then
don't expect me to go easy on you
[ contract signed, burning soul sold.
don't get your germs on him, natalia. ]
no subject
the idea of it being a title still hasn't crossed her mind. That said, the return text just manages to get her to raise a brow. Go easy on her?
Please.]
I would respect you less if you even tried to.
[well shit]
no subject
that actually amuses him. she's sick and she's still saying smart stuff like that, is she--
--how do you make a whistle noise in text, this is a Legitimate Concern. so Legitimate that he almost considers switching to voice, but he changes his mind.
this is where the whistle emoji would go if he knew what they were ]
and i'd have to break this deal if you didn't
[ u fighting a cyclops dragon ]
no subject
[as she slowly considers what to make him watch for this movie-cation. It's quite the burden to be in charge of someone's education
as if movies are the true answer to modern culture
oh well, at least it's worth a shot]
no subject
kojuro, help. ]
thenwe're fine
i keep my word and repay my debts
[ good or bad. good, in this case. there's something else that is probably a little important that he should know. maybe. that is: ]
now
you always ask for lessons without giving your name?
no subject
Oh, I beg your pardon. Excuse my rudeness.
Please, call me Natalia.
[keep it... simple.....
also of everything she's apologizing for rudeness now?? ok]
