( The writing shows up very late in the evening (if anyone's still awake) and the page is a bit difficult to read, not because of the handwriting; if anything, Yui's handwriting is neat and very much legible. It's difficult to read because of smudging of ink on the paper caused by something wet being dropped on it.

It's not rain though. It's Yui uncontrollably crying because of the full moon outside. )

TO-DO LIST:
1. Find less awkward clothes
2. Find a swordsmith. There's one here.
3. Clean the mansion → might take a while
4. Shopping list
- rice
- fish, eggs
- daikon, cabbage, onions, garlic, plum → see if I can grow them instead
- condiments (soy sauce, vinegar, miso maybe?)
- salt
- also soap, toothpaste and other personal items → DON'T FORGET!
5. LIBRARY

I apologize for the messiness of the page but does anyone know how to get to the moon ( That part was hurriedly crossed out, as if she didn't realize she was writing it, but it's still clearly visible anyway. ) have an axe?

I was informed by the townsfolk that I'll need one to get my daily stipend from the ( Looooong, hesitant pause, complete with an accidental ink blot. ) Moon Capital but they were hesitant lending me one. Something about erratic behavior during full moons. In any case, I don't mind paying for your help as well once I get the money. Or the gold, as they had told me.

Comments

[themortalson]

Yeah. Always around nearby. They probably know we're talking about them.

[kutanagi]

I wouldn't put it past them, to be honest. But is Death not as - ( what's the word ) - accommodating as the other two? Father Time and Lamb.

[themortalson]

They were on the first day we arrived. Can't say now.

[kutanagi]

Why? What's wrong now? Did anything change with our circumstances?

[themortalson]

Let's say Death prefers being anti-social.

[kutanagi]

I would be too if I'm called Death.

But if they're unwelcoming of us, given that we're here as "replacements", doesn't that pretty much contradict what the others are doing?

[themortalson]

Death wasn't for the idea. It's only delaying what's going to happen with is natural for everything.

[kutanagi]

Ah, I see how it would bother them. But it's unnatural how the characters in a story are disappearing for some reason. And it isn't like the story is being forgotten.

[themortalson]

If the lesson isn't learned, then it may as well be forgotten.

[kutanagi]

What if there's no lesson to begin with?

[themortalson]

Then it's the culture behind the tale.

[kutanagi]

So Japan's culture is being forgotten? It seems a bit unlikely. Then again, I live in a shrine.

[themortalson]

Misunderstood or ignored, but that can cause it to be forgotten.

[kutanagi]

I still find it a strange thing to be happening. In any case, if my being here prevents Kaguya's story from being forgotten in some way, then I don't think I would mind it.

Except maybe the part where I get shipped off to the moon.

[themortalson]

Dunno. Might be an unavoidable thing in the future

[But that isn't so much as shipping off as-- he needs to stop thinking about it. Either way, roll with it.]
