[ here have a confused warlord being confused by these foreign things. ]I have heard several mentions of Valentine's. Yet another unfamiliar celebration, though if it is as festive as Christmas, then it may be quite enjoyable. I have heard several mentions of something called chocolate as well ( Read more... )

[ here, have a rather calm Kenshin, this time with tea (yes, he drinks something other than sake). ]Over the last month since my arrival, I find myself increasingly aware of how much Kasuga does for me on a regular basis. With the influx of new residents, I have yet to see a soul from Echigo. Not Kasuga or Kanetsugu, or even Keiji. Even Shingen- ( Read more... )

[ Kenshin appears, in his living room, the red fluff behind him on the mantle. ]

A swift victory for us. A strange entity as their leader destroyed. The ghosts, however, remain though are much less aggressive. [ a pause. ] As docile as pirates may be. One has more than once attempted to pilfer my sake. Diligent he is, despite my attacks against ( Read more... )

[ the SFC suddenly clatters on as it falls from Kenshin's pocket. Ice shoots past the camera before Kenshin lands on his feet delicately. ]

[ Kenshin appears, his living room in the background. The Shingen fluff is on the mantle. ]If the calendar is similar here as Japan, then the new year shall be upon us soon.

[ Kenshin appears on screen, looking like his usual self once again, a house in the background covered with a thin blanket of snow. ]Snow. If there were one thing which I would wish for Christmas, it would be snow. A pleasant reminder of home. I could only hope it will stay a bit longer ( Read more... )

[ Kenshin appears, the top of a formal kimono visible on the screen. ]

I must confess, this is the first occasion where I've awoken in formal clothing. Granted, I hardly have warn a formal kimono since the warring has begun, yet I find this hardly falls under the classification of curse. [ though it's very hard to read, he is still rather ( Read more... )

[ Kenshin appears on the screen, the video is upside down until he turns it rightside up. He is dressed in full regalia, his head covered and difficult to tell who or what he is.
