Week 7: Tuesday

[ercnerd]

[Throughout the day, Sieghart flags down anyone whose path he crosses to inform them of a dinner party. For those in their rooms, he raps on the door and delivers the same invitation before going on his merry way to take his nap in the parlor.

Come evening, the dining room boasts a wide spread of food prepared by Souji—chicken wings, grilled onigiri, grilled fish, tempura veggies, gyoza, and tomato egg stirfry—along with desert in the form of a chocolate cake by Alphinaud. Bottles of wine have been relocated for easy drinking. Virgo is here, probably. There's an additional placemat set out for Flayn.]

Anyway he just nods! He will trust in Sieghart to send a heartfelt letter.]

Hm... Truth, I suppose!

[ercnerd]

[Imagine if Sieghart doesn't so much as type a single word.]

Hmm . . . What's the weirdest thing you've ever done?

[illomened]

[Then Souji's undead ghost will haunt him for his next few thousand years of life.]

Isn't that a vague question? Weird by what standard, exactly...

[ercnerd]

[No.]

Who else but yours? I want to know what it is that you'd find weird.

[illomened]

[YOU AREN'T HIS BOSS!!

He seems to be considering this, though... what's the weirdest thing he's done by his own standards.......]

I suppose by a definition, robbing that samurai when I was a toddler...? It wasn't usual for me, at least.

[He has done so much shit that other people would consider weird outside of that, but unfortunately he himself doesn't.]

[ercnerd]

[This is the sort of scoop for which he was looking. Souji's mind doesn't run the way most people's minds do, so of course it would skip over memories from his formative years that might qualify as weird for others.]

What did you rob a samurai for?

[illomened]

[STOP LOOKING FOR SCOOPS IN HIS WEIRD MIND PALACE. He at least has the humility to look vaguely sheepish about this though...]

He saw me staring at his katana while I was playing with a toy sword on the street and teasingly challenged me, saying he would give me his sword if I beat him...

[LISTEN. Technically he won, but by societal and bushi standards it really was just a humiliating robbery committed by a 3 year old. HE STOLE THAT SAMURAI'S SOUL.]

[ercnerd]

[In Sieghart's mind, that's the samurai's problem. Some geniuses and prodigies bloom within their first year. It's not like Souji demanded the duel.]

Didn't you say that you robbed him? If he challenged you and you won, what was the problem?

[illomened]

[At least he knows by now that this is a Mindset Thing, so he just laughs and waves a hand.]

It's the principle of the matter, Si-san.

[ercnerd]

Hmm . . .

[Far be it from him to decry principles.]

I suppose that would be weird for most.

[illomened]

[It's the "being hunted for years after taking that sword by a weird little gremlin that may or may not have been a violent sword spirit that stole his face" that's the truly weird part.]

It's only happened once in my life, at the very least! Most everything else that might count as weird has happened at least twice.

[ercnerd]

[Truly, Souji breaks the laws of his reality.

Sieghart nods.]

When you live long enough, anything can happen more than once.

[illomened]

[He really does...]

You would know best, I suppose.

[ercnerd]

You know it.
