BATTLE HEROES OPENING, MAN *tear*

[EVERYTHING IS QUIET AND PEACEFUL. Were you to gaze out to the horizon, you would see nothing but rolling fields, forests and a little further off, the mountains

[Here's a rather forlorn-looking Hanbei, who had somehow gotten captured by a now absent Matsunaga in a moment of inebriation carelessness. He is now tied to a barrel, desperately struggling and kicking, trying to get the attention of the very large and apparently very oblivious figure.]

HIDEYOSHI!!

Please forgive me for my ineptitude, and the delays this has surely cost you in the fruition of your dream! I was regrettably full of weakness, but I hope you will come to understand my side of the situation...!

[This all doesn't sound very good, because...sometime during the previous night's indiscretion, he ended up wearing a standard issue Mouri hat, and is still unaware of this.]

[liketenbuses]

[After a moment or two, Hanbei's struggle get Hideyoshi's attentions and he turns, gazing around until he spots his friend and strategist. YEAH, JUST A LITTLE BIT RELIEVED TO SEE YOU STILL INTACT AND NOT COVERED IN BLOOD.]

Don't worry, my friend, I am just glad that-

[He walks over (BOOM, BOOM), ready to untie the unfortunate Takenanka, but has now paused in doing so and is staring at his head. Yeah, he just spotted the hat.]

...why are you wearing a Mouri hat?

[feverdreamed]

[With every step Hideyoshi takes, the barrel and the attached Hanbei bounce slightly off the ground. The strategist is beaming with gladness, ready to shake off this shameful incident and get to work, until he hears about the hat...]

I...what? Motonari-kun? That isn't possible, I'd never fall for his trickery...again...

[He tries to shake off the hat, but it's quite securely strapped to his head, and only manages to bang against the barrel loudly.]

...maybe Mitsunari-kun did this to me...

[liketenbuses]

[Hideyoshi frowns, but stoops down anyway and unties Hanbei from the barrel, picking him up afterwards and setting him on his feet.]

Exactly how much did you drink last night?

[He regards the hat critically. Mouri hats are such ugly creations, in his opinion. 8|b BRUTALLY UGLY THINGS. YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.]

I should hope not, that boy is already in trouble as it is.

[WORDS WILL BE HAD, MAN.]

[smoky_bird]

[uses Mitsunari as a shield]

This could become troublesome. We'll need to use the big guns...

[liketenbuses]

[Regards you with annoyance. LET HIS BOY GO DAMMIT, HE NEEDS TO GIVE HIM A TALKING TO.]

There isn't a gun big enough to prevent me from bringing this land under my rule.

WHY ARE ALL THE TOYOTOMI SUDDENLY TIED UP 1/2

[amazing_hair]

[Mitsunari admitted he had a bit--- okay alot of sake after the recent turn of events but he'd never believed he was intoxicated enough to be attacked from behind. Now suddenly, he was in ropes, Hideyoshi in front and Saika behind using him as shield. To top it off he was still wearing Hanbei's pants. Awkward.]

If you dare harm Hideyoshi-sama I will put an end to your life! as soon as I get out from these ropes

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING DEPRESSING 2/2

[amazing_hair]

H-hideyoshi-sama, forgive me I have failed you. I am ashamed of myself. Attend to Hanbei-dono first my lord, I will rid you of this insolent woman myself! You needn't worry about me, I'd rather die than let her ruin your conquest!

[magnumstrike]

Well, well. Look who's here.

[liketenbuses]

[Looks down at you. FROM A GREAT DISTANCE.]

You are nothing without your retainer Kojuuro. Out of my sight, or you will swept aside like everyone else!

[magnumstrike]

[Twitches slightly at the mention of Kojuurou, but recovers his composure in a blink. Poor boy, things aren't going too well for him lately.]

One eye's more than enough to deal with an oversized gorilla like you, you see?

[liketenbuses]

My boy Mitsunari could defeat you. I certainly have nothing to fear from your blades, dragon or not. Any who threaten my vision shall be eliminated!

[Raises a fist...]

Try and prove otherwise, if you wish. You will only fail!

[ichi_is_sorry]

[From a distance she is watching the several men {and a woman) who are causing a ruckus. She does not seem to be fazed by this or whatsoever. Instead, she continues to staaaaare and asks to no one in particular:]

A new tomorrow... Is there hope for it after all..?
