| characters | Yoshitsugu (open).

| date/time | Today, nighttime.

| location | Outside of the tree, close to the mist.

| rating | Starting PG, will change as necessary!

| summary | The music calls, so why resist? Best to just go with the flow and dance. (Or: when a strategist with a lot of sense in his head shows an apparent complete lack of it).




The call of the music from beyond the fog has been drawing Yoshitsugu in for days.

Before now there have been things to occupy him, his time filled enough that its allure has taken a back-seat to other matters. Now? Now there is not. It is damp outside, the weather unpleasant, but without any distractions the flow of things bids him to fly to the ground closer to the source and give into the urges that the music washes through him.

This is probably not wise at all, and Yoshitsugu knows it. Mere sound giving one such specific desires speaks of magic in the air, and the addition of that somewhat unsettling beautiful voice points to a single culprit beyond the wall of mist... not to mention the risks of going out in such weather when he has a constitution as poor as he does. Staring up into the grey without saying a thing or moving for a while, just listening, Yoshitsugu eventually closes his eyes and starts to dance.

It's a very slow dance, perhaps something more like graceful swaying in the wind, and barely even in time with the music.

His usual way of living is to go with the flow, which seems to have eradicated most of his self-preserving instincts over the years. If they had still been present Yoshitsugu would have returned to the tree immediately, cutting the risk from the weather and the enchantment both, but they are not, so there is nothing to stop him from continuing his dance... except, perhaps, another person spotting the pale blur in the dark and dragging him back inside.

(Yoshitsugu has spent much of his life being literally pulled around by either Takatora or Mitsunari, after all. Why would things be different even in a world such as this?)

monster_san: Hand-to-mouth surprise (Oh me oh my)

The violin music was quite eerie, and Fuu had been both wanting to avoid and investigate it... as the nights had gone by and the music grew louder, more insistent, the urge to investigate was winning over. She didn't have Umi and Hikaru to talk to about it. She did have Owain and Eren, but she had a feeling Owain's advice would be to go for it with all gusto, never mind safety.

But tonight it was impossible to ignore, and she had donned her gem and slipped out. She would keep her distance, and she had her sword and her magic. So she could escape quickly if there was need, right? And it made sense to figure out what was going on. It was coming from beyond the mist, and the mist needed to be investigate.

As she got further towards the sound her sensible self was doing a better job of talking her out of it (don't you remember Caldina?) when she spotted someone she certainly would not have expected to see. "Otani-san? What are you doing here?" The question popped out before she could consider its politeness.
