"No allowances made for being knocked out? That's rough. If you want, I can help you fill out the form for requesting a more exciting duty. Though they all just get stamped denied and filed in the cooking stove."

"Oh, we might find other uses for them..."

Something to stock the latrines with, perhaps.

Murato smiled at that. "The lot of those in terminally boring duties. Our last bastion, hope for someone to do or say something funny. And yet left wanting each day... The greatest of tragedies. It might make for a fine play if the majority of it were not just an actor pretending to fill out paperwork without dialogue."

"Well, our hosts are putting one on tonight. A love story, as is expected at an event like this," he said with a shrug.

"During training, the Ikoma instructors make us write an original play and the class acts in each other's productions. It's all very silly and fun. Then the next day is combat training..." He smirks at that.

"Hm, might have to swing by."

He paused.

"My own training... mostly things like hitting people with sharp pieces of metal. Some study on meditation. And of course, a generous helping of 'this is when the bushi shuts up and stands there' conversational training."

"Meditation and theology are more of a personal interest of mine. People tend to want what they can't have, so when I couldn't complete Kitsu training I kind of got into subjects they focus on. Plus, a clear mind is nice."
