THREE | [video] | A plan what is a plan

[bountyofthesun]

Gah!

[Hello Vatheon have all the flaily arms. Hideyoshi is as usual kicking about on his epic fancy sofa, or was up until a moment ago - he's just leaped to his feet and thrown his arms up in frustration, SFC and all. He gestures wildly with it as he speaks. Welcome to MonkeyCam.]

That's it, I can't take this anymore, if I don't find something to do I'll go insane!

Do any of you need someone to do work - any kind of work? I'll do anything! Just walking around, eating free food anymore all day, feeling like some big fat lord - me! It just isn't right!

[He flops back down on the sofa and sighs ever so heartily.]

Ahh, and I thought that this was all I ever wanted in the world...

Comments

[bountyofthesun]

[Whether that comment is meant to hit home or not, it certainly does so, and deeply. Hideyoshi shakes off his momentary lapse like an angry cat shaking water from its fur. He nails Gorthan with a bright gaze full of contempt that only Mitsuhide's name can get from him.]

Hmpf! What does Mitsuhide know! [he growls, strange as such a sound is coming from him.] What's he ever done - wrote poems about it? If he ever wanted to make Lord Nobunaga proud, he's done a piss-poor job of it!

[Properly getting going now, he puffs his chest and stares Gorthan in the eye.] I may not have your answers yet, but at least I know that I don't! It's when a guy thinks that he knows everything that he's really got a problem.

[And of course, part of the reason why Gorthan had mentioned Mitsuhide was his hope that his spirit would ignite like it just did.

His tone is now much calmer. Detached, now that Hideyoshi has been spurred sufficiently.]

There are records of a few, great Evronians who made their lords proud precisely by vanquishing them. And if my second-in-command ever wanted to do to me what Mitsuhide did to your lord, I suppose I would have no grounds to complain - he is younger than I am, and as such, his legitimate ambitions burn brighter than mine. But you earthlings do not function the same way. Understandably.

When I return to my world, Hideyoshi, I will most definitely gather more information on the history of your country. Needless to say, should I not stumble into your name, my disappointment in you will be complete.

[It's irritating to be played like this, so easily, but this is one weakness that Hideyoshi knows that he has, and is willing to live with. But he still levels a look at Gorthan, one not to be argued with.]

No, we don't, [he says flatly.] Ambition isn't enough. [It isn't even the important part, no when it comes to really ruling.]

You need a reason. [his voice sharpens a little, becomes stronger.] Something you want to change! So when you find me in my history, don't think I've done whatever it was just to make you, or anyone proud.
