[Lalalala walking by, staring up at the falling leaves as well-when he hears Yukimura, because well. It's hard not to.

Stopping to give him a curious look now-]

[flame_ablazed]

*And at this exact moment Yukimura the Leaf Man noticed a presence.*

S-Senri-dono! Please avert your eyes, it is dishonorable to greet a guest in this state!!

[flower_fields]

[Confuuuused]

'In this state'...?

[flame_ablazed]

Leaves suddenly started raining and as you can see -

*He's half-naked He gestures to his leaf-covered torso*

[ifeelsoepic]

[Neku was just walking to get away from it all, Josh leaving, coming back with no memory and just everything that happened when in a coma. Of course, that stopped when he saw a familiar person being as unusual as always fighting with leaves?]

... What are you doing?

[flame_ablazed]

*WHY IS EVERYONE VISITING TODAY.*

Neku-dono! This is - that, it's!! *fkjfalf* Leaves are sticking to me!!

[ifeelsoepic]

[Just...looking 'cause seriously, that's what you're flipping out about?]

They're just leaves.

[flame_ablazed]

*... It's just who he is. >>*

But they never fall from the heavens in my world! Is this normal for this world, Neku-dono?

[beautifulmartyr]

[ Here's Aerith with a cart full of flowers. Just sort of staring when he starts yelling about ...leaves. ]

Looks like they just keep on falling, huh?

1/2

[flame_ablazed]

Indeed! At this rate the whole yard will be - *wait is that a girl*

[flame_ablazed]

*wait wait before he freaks out - she's carrying flowers. Maybe she knows something about this.*

Do you know anything about this occurrence, maiden? Is it normal here?

[beautifulmartyr]

[ You mean freak out more than he already is about leaves? ]

Hm, I don't know anything about it, actually. [ taps a finger against her lips in thought. ] I haven't been here long enough to know if this is normal or not. But it can't be all that bad, right? Maybe it won't last long.

[ Brushes a few leaves from her hair with a bright smile. ]

The latter-day samurai stops amid his travels through Espoir (for if the man is not training vigorously, practicing misogi, or meditating, he is on the move, largely because he seeks employment,) curiously tilting up his broad bamboo hat at the sound of an intense kiai - and squinting into the distance, he catches sight of the young man wielding dual lances. Unfamiliar with the technique, he continues to watch, paying little mind all the while to the leaves gathering over his own shoulders. It is not long before he catches sight of the flames flaring from the ends of the spears, his brow furrowing in muted incredulity - was the man somehow channeling ki strongly enough to achieve this? Whether or not this was possible, this ability seemed to reflect great discipline.

The stranger's concentration, however, was a little lacking. "..."

[flame_ablazed]

When he senses a stranger's eyes upon him, Yukimura's initial reaction is of course, a defense stance. Even in his leaf-covered state, he couldn't let his guard down. But the stranger neither speaks or does anything relatively dangerous - his brows imitate the stranger's and furrow slightly.

"May I be of assistance, traveler?"

[ishikawa_juusan]

Bittersweet memories from his days as an uchideshi surfaces in memory - and all too vividly, he recalls the open space of the dojo in Oyamada, the sword rack mounted on the wall, and the Butsudan too, where candles and incense had once been set and burned, spicing the air with a warm muskiness...

“Your fighting style is unfamiliar to me.” Goemon states calmly, remaining motionless; constantly seeking greater mastery over himself, this is a good opportunity to hone his skills, moreso as this challenge appears worthy of Zantetsuken. "I would be honoured to test Zantetsuken against your spears. Do you accept?"

[flame_ablazed]

He never expected to have a dojo challenger so soon - he had just cleaned the place few days ago after all. But the traveler was obviously an experienced fighter.

Yukimura could feel his heart beat faster at the thought of having a good fight. With a grin, he fixed his stance to face the stranger respectfully. "This Sanada Genjiro Yukimura accepts your challenge! I am still inexperienced but," He held up one of his spears in front of him, "I promise you a fair and honorable dual!!"

[scoreatouchdown]

[It's hard to ignore all the screaming going on. And now that he sees who is causing it, he's not surprised.]

You can't be serious.

[flame_ablazed]

Y-You are ... that chicken farmer!

*He vaguely remembers Travis saying something about chicks and that he helped him out during his first visit here.*

[scoreatouchdown]

[Oh you can't be serious...]

How many times is it going to take for you to get that I'm not a chicken farmer?

[flame_ablazed]

*Oh ... right.*

I apologize. Your name escapes me easily. You were ... an assassin! ...Correct?
