text: shin.o. / age???
just wondering something.
what year were you born and how old are you? i'm from 1983, and last i remember, it was 2001. there are people who are close in age but are from different years in the future, making me old relatively, and i hate this.
... am i old to you?
(nope, 1985. still, he's sad.)

i was born in Miyamoto village, in TenshÅ 12, the year of the monkey. that'd be 1584 by modern calendars. i'm in my mid 20s now, but
like. as far as what year it was when i got here, that's a way harder question to answer, since i kept slipping between different worlds and points in history of those worlds.
in my situation, you learn to just take things like this in stride.

i'm used to being out of place and time, is what i'm saying. life moves too fast, especially in a city like this, for you to get hung up on it.
feel old, feel young, feel whatever.

how was growing up for you? i'm curious.

my dad and i butted heads a lot. he eventually disowned me and i spitefully set up a campsite just on the property line of the family estate.

did he do anything about it?

musha shugyo is the official term for it, a samurai's pilgrimage. though i didn't really have a destination in mind other than getting strong enough to prove my father wrong.
no subject
what is a samurai's pilgrimage for?
no subject
to grow stronger, to find your horizons and go past them.
for me, it was for my sword to reach "zero". see, my dad may have taught the jitte, but he was so great a swordmaster his blade was considered "one", the pinnacle, the utmost any warrior could hope to reach.
so i wanted to go beyond even that. "zero". the sword of "nothing".
