damaged
inspired by this comic!
(It's after a particularly rough sortie and after everyone's been looked over and evaluated. Most of them might be able to get by with just some light repairs and rest but some are not as lucky. Rest alone won't be enough and they'll have to go in for more serious repairs. It could take all day at best or more at worst.
Serious repairs are exactly what they sound like-- serious-- but there's always that extra element that makes them a little more hesitant to surrender their true forms and enter the repairs room. Without their swords and reeling from heavy damage, they're perhaps in their most vulnerable state. It's times like this, alone with just their thoughts for company, that their years really begin to catch up with them. For some, it isn't too bad. There are a lucky few who are blessed with shorter histories or brighter lives but the unfortunate truth is that for many of them, the years have not been kind.
But this is their situation! And it can go one of a few ways right now...)

(After some light harassing, Mutsunokami has managed to convince someone to get repairs! Would it help if he went with them? He doesn't mind, really and he'll even hold their hand as they stand in front of the room.)
Ready? (He gives their hand a firm squeeze,) It'll be over before ya know it!
B.
(Or maybe Mutsunokami is the one that's here for heavy repairs. Mutsunokami is one of the luckier swords in question, someone with a shorter and much more pleasant history compared to others. Honestly, he finds repairs more boring than anything. Of course, he uses his blessings to focus on his companion right now. Being stuck in this room sure is boring! Sorry to get you dragged in here with him, heh heh... And sometimes he dozes off because being damaged is exhausting.
Repairs are pleasant enough for him but his damage is a little heavier today than usual. It's not something he's really used to and it shows when he suddenly jerks awake from a short nap, looking around the room in an alert sort of daze before relaxing.
Huh... strange.)
C.
(Wildcard, give me your own prompt, talk to me, maybe theyre both in for repairs or something instead.)

Because I led them there in the first place. (Even if that was the whole point of the mission. It's not his fault they were attacked by surprise but maybe if he'd dedicated more time to scouting or something...) Even if I didn't hurt 'em, they were my responsibility.
no subject
[Okay, so some people got hurt, but they're alive, right?]
As long as you are not broken, you can keep going. Your master trusted you. I don't think they were wrong to. So you have to pick up the pieces and go back to the battlefield.
[A small wince. The limit between reality and memory is hazy.]
I'm too big. I can't be wielded by human hands, even if I wish to. If i can't be used to fight, do I even exist?
no subject
Yeah... (They all came back alive, even if they'd all seen better days. He'll have to ask Taroutachi about all of this again when he's in a better state of mind. Just to make sure. Would they all follow him back out there?) Yeah, I guess ya have a point.
(But Taroutachi winces and Mutsu sits up straighter, giving the other sword his full attention,)
So what if you're too big for most guys, huh? You'll just have to carry yourself.
no subject
[Taroutachi holds up his hand in front of his face. A big hand. A big body, capable of wielding that big sword...]
Carry myself... I can do that.
no subject
( This is a better direction they're going in right now and he knows if he can keep it this way, the recovery will go smoother. )
Everyone's waiting for ya so hurry up, Taroutachi. You're tired right now... probably feeling like you're in a dream, right? But when you're ready, ya'll get to walk right outta here and join everyone else.
no subject
[Is this a dream? It's not a very good dream if it is. It keeps showing him painful things. And also...]
Where's Jiroutachi? Is he alright?
