[closed] backdated to morning!!!

[ Yoshitsugu has scarcely been asleep for 3 hours when the noise begins. The sounds of things being knocked over, broken, homes being torn apart. The house he and Mitsunari have taken over is intact, but if the ruckus next door is any indication of what is to come, he’ll have to do something about this. He rises from bed with some effort and manages to get himself onto his palanquin without assistance. Yoshitsugu is largely unsurprised to see that Mitsunari is still sound asleep on the floor once his eyes adjust to the darkness. Yoshitsugu watches him for a moment; the rise and fall of his chest is still familiar despite everything else being changed. It is almost… A word flutters through his mind, but he willfully ignores it in favor of a new series of crashes and thumps. Whatever is making the noise is closer now, and he moves to the front of the house and looks out the window. It strikes him as odd that he hadn’t seen or heard so much as a bird yesterday, and now there’s a pack of animals wreaking havoc on the street they’ve taken up on. Yoshitsugu is about to go outside and deal with this when there’s a loud crash at the back of the house, close to the bedroom. How Mitsunari can sleep through this he cannot imagine. He heads back to the bedroom and nudges Mitsunari with one of his beads. ]

	[ Mitsunari is sleeping soundly until he's nudged by one of the floating orbs; it's only then that he jerks awake. He's not instantly alert, but pretty close to it. He gets up from the floor and looks around, adjusts to the light and the sound. Then: more noise, things being broken. ] -- What was that? What is going on, Yoshitsugu. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[ Yoshitsugu's voice is half exhaustion and half annoyance. This whole situation is ridiculous. ] Wild animals, it would seem. I would not have woken you, except it sounds as if they may find a way inside. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He retrieves the kitchen knife from the table nearby, and steps past Yoshitsugu to the door. Over his shoulder: ] Animals? We'll shoo them out, then. [ And out of the room he goes. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Yoshitsugu follows after, holding in a weary sigh. He's nearly embarrassed that this problem actually required waking Mitsunari. And it was only so he wouldn't be dead asleep on the floor should one of those things get inside the house and make a mess of things. The whole building could have fallen down around him and he wouldn't have stirred. For Mitsunari to grab the knife and-- It's far too early for all of this. ~~I-IT'S NOT LIKE HE WANTED HELP OR ANYTHING. /////////~~

When he catches up, he thinks to opens his mouth and say something, but decides against it and just watches. ]

[ He quickly comes to face one of the puppycats.

They stare at each other for a moment, the animal watching with its black eyes and Mitsunari wondering what exactly the creature is, gauging how dangerous it might be. But he decides to move for a shooing motion. ]

Get going, you filthy mongrel beast--!

[ But it does not react well to that and attacks! It moves quickly but Mitsunari is quicker still. His response is automatic and the kitchen knife is wielded without a second thought. Once the thing is dead, Mitsunari turns towards Yoshitsugu and wipes the blood from his hands on a nearby tablecloth. It all happens in the blink of an eye; the knife plunging into its neck and its twitching as it dies. ]

It's dead. ... what now, Yoshitsugu? There are others outside, I can hear them running around.
