Application for Sanada Yukimura from Samurai Deeper Kyo

[elegantsamurai.livejournal.com]

((OOC notes: This Sanada Yukimura is taken from the anime version of Samurai Deeper Kyo around episode 23 [He gets the item he's looking for when the app starts at the end of episode 23 but is off screen for most of it, so between episodes 22-23]. He does know that the history he's living is not how things are supposed to go. For characters that would know the actual course of events, this means you can tell him how he lived and died. He's aware of it. [And you can find his actual history here]. He is from 1604 as our calendar is dated. The battle of Sekigahara that he refers to was in 1600. Dual audio downloads of the series can be made available if interested.))

Sanada Yukimura, head of the Sanada clan, samurai, hero of the Battle of Sekigahara four years prior, rarely finds himself in a situation where he does not know why he is there or what he is after.

Now, he wants the fifth Muramasa, Tengoku, a treasure hidden in the depths of the Mibu stronghold. He has conned and connived his way in, deceiving even his own Juuyuushi into believing he would betray them to make the Sanada clan the ruling clan of Japan, to over throw the Tokagawa regime. For now, he can ignore what he has learned about Kyo. That can be dealt with later, and if he is honest with himself, it's something he suspected before. But, that is something for later, after he has claimed his prize, after he has woken it. Then, he can be concerned with reality and the true course of history.

He was almost at his goal, almost to the room where he knew that cursed weapon lived. It had claimed many Mibu lives, but he was confident it would submit to him. Only, the door didn't open where he anticipated. Cautiously he steps through. After surveying the room, he rests a hand on the sword by his side and cautiously enters. In the center, he sees a table and a feather standing upright on it.

( I thought this was where the Mibu hid the Muramasa... )

Closed RP for Severus and Albus

Severus did not look down into his teacup, but he enjoyed the aroma. Earl Grey, sweet with a little lemon to complement the bergamot. Albus always remembered. He was not sure how he would react to the news. He had tried so hard to heal his friend, before he had needed to kill him. And afterwards. He probably would have done anything. And now, it had been offered to him, so easily. Not even a bargain with evil - an open gift.

He is not sure whether to smile or frown. He is suspicious, is not yet sure Lezard can do as he claims, though the school is apparently sprouting with gardens, overrun with menageries. He had almost been tempted to adopt a bat, but had maintained the strength of his reason. Finally, he simply says it.

"Albus," There is always a slight pause after Severus says his name that takes teh place of the 'sir' that is no longer appropriate. "We have a new student in the school. Lezard Valeth. He is offering... there is the tradition of bribing those attending the sortings to vote favourably, or perhaps to vote at all. I attended his sorting. Not for the bribes, of course, but he offered, and seems able to grant, anything. And I asked that he heal your hand and the poison it contains. He will come to the Hospital Wing at some as yet unspecified time."

It is a strange recounting. He looks keenly at Dumbledore, a little unsure now. Perhaps after all it had been precipitous to ask Lezard for this without consulting Albus. But he had taken the chance. He had not been able to heal it himself. "He did not wish to heal you without examining your hand." The statement sounds a little absurd, even to Severus. But there were groves and stray bats, a dragon, he had heard.

Owl to Kusuriyuri; oh so warded.
