Lyric probably got tanba the ugliest, thickest Christmas sweaters they could find as a gift so that he can finally put some fucking clothes on

Tanba stares for a few moments at one of the atrocious looking sweaters Lyric had just presented him. Holding that bulky, fuzzy, Christmas-themed fashion atrocity within his hands, all Tanba could think was that this was probably the ugliest piece of clothing he had ever set his eyes on. Glancing over at some of the others, they looked to be about the same.

If Tanba was anything, however, he was open minded, and that's why the very next thing he did was strip off his original top (if you could even call what he normally wore a top) in front of Lyric and then slide into that monstrosity of a sweater.

"This might be the WORST thing anyone has ever gifted me, Lyric," Tanba said with a bright grin, looking down at the monstrosity that now adorned his upper body, "but in that, it's-so-awful-it's-good kind of way."

Tanba can be seen taking the sweater off after humoring it for a few more moments, handing it off to a double of himself that had appeared out of nowhere and would quickly vanish soon after with the sweater in hand, along with all the others Lyric had likely gotten him.

"Not, it's-so-awful-it's-good ENOUGH for me to actually wear any of those around, goodness gracious no, terrible fashion sense is a Samurai's department," Tanba, his tone and overall demeanor exuberant, continues, "but they're VERY neat; I'll be sure to hang some of them up in my castle somewhere, or maybe put them in fancy display cases!"

Tanba, who by this point is standing there with his upper body totally bare, reaches over and puts one arm around Lyric's shoulder in a friendly (and unfortunately personal-space defying) manner.

"Thanks a whole lot for those, though! At the end of the day it's the thought that really counts, and I'm sure you put a whole lot of thought into those, things. This is why you and me are great friends!"

Tanba, after somehow producing an entire bar of gold in his free hand (that also had a bow tied around it, like a present), hands that precious metal off to Lyric, adding, with no small amount of cheer, "Here, you deserve this, too, Merry Holidays, Lyric!! Go buy yourself something neat!"

And then? Then Tanba's gone, vanished, into a cloud of black feathers, leaving Lyric to their own devices and their shiny bar of Holiday gold!!! // @lunarscaled

"Merry Christmas!" She hummed some, holding out a gift for him to take. The gift was something she figured peak his curious nature, especially about her magic. Perhaps in a way he was a guinea pig for this experiment but.. it was fine right? The box was full of some hard candies, all in various colors. "These are some strength candies.." Gabriella went over a few others, for defense and other buffs, she seemed pretty proud of herself. "I hope they'll be useful to you, Tanba!"

"Candies? Candies with ability boosts? You don't say." Tanba was already smiling as Gabriella walked in to wish him some holiday cheer, but when she produced a gift in her hands for him to take, a gift of magical candy no less crafted by her own interesting magecraft (at least he assumed they were magical given how Gabriella explained everything) why, his smile got even bigger! The Shinobi King was now grinning ear to ear just about, absolutely delighted by Gabriella's gift as he reached out to take the box. "I think these will be plenty useful to me, thank you sooo much, Gabriella!"

Tanba, eyeing the assortment of different colored candies within the box, nods his head a few times in cheer, and excitement. "Even if these didn't have all sorts of special bonuses to eating them, I'd enjoy them all the same! You can never go wrong with sweets, never!" Gabriella would probably be finding out very quickly how successful this little experiment of hers would go, since Tanba was about to head off and stuff his face full of these candies (and then he was likely going to head out and kill something, or someone), but before he departs, he steps over and pats them on the shoulder. "But again, thank you, I owe you big time. You better believe I'll find you something special for this!"

Tanba then backs up, transforms into a crow, and with the box of candies somehow held in place on his back, he flies away, humming a cheery tune to himself on his way out... //@nexarerum

💭 + birds for tanba!

some birb talk? okay!! 👀

i've talked before about the iga-ryu's link to crows and tanba's specific affinity with the shadowy birbs, BUT while he is often followed by murders of crows and can call upon any specific one to do his bidding, he does have favorites; an elderly crow that tanba has nicknamed hisa, and another he calls taishiro.

tanba wouldn't go so far as to label these two crows 'pets', but he does call upon them far more often than others, and they do harbor a sort of camaraderie with him, and when he's seen interacting with a crow, its usually one of the two, or both of them, and you'll know for sure its them based on two factors, the first being their appearances; hisa is albino, and taishiro has no eyes (literally none, not even eye sockets on them). the second identifying factor in relation to the two aforementioned crows is that they can speak in numerous human languages (fluently), and often do so when interacting with tanba. it's unknown if these crows could always speak as they do, or if tanba bestowed some kind of power upon them, but they typically only talk to him, or only speak to others when in his presence!!!

in his fate verses (main verses basically), hisa and taishiro are technically minor familiars that are more or less anchored to the human world by tanba's presence, but regardless of the setting, their true nature is debatable-- are they supernatural creatures in disguise? are they the result of some magic fuckery tanba created? who knows! but they are fiercely loyal to tanba either way, and he adores them.

"And stop everyone from feasting their eyes on such heavenly assets? I think not!" Tanba, to further demonstrate his point, puts both hands firmly on his hips, striking a pose that only served to accentuate his noticeably exposed chest. "The whole world will bear witness to the majesty of Momochi Tanba; my power, my skill, and most certainly my looks." Tanba then lets out a gleeful, boisterous laugh, "If it's too much for you to handle, feel free to look away!"

"Tanba! There you are, I was looking everywhere for you!" Yuuki missed Tanba, just a little.

@moonlightmagus //

"That's no surprise! Being the strongest heroic spirit to ever be spit out of the Grail, and the greatest Shinobi the world's ever seen, everyone's always looking for me!" replied Tanba with a gleeful smile, carrying himself with that ever present air of confidence and superiority that was almost smothering.

"But you, Yuuki, you in particular, I'm glad you sought me out." Tanba vanishes in a cloud of black feathers, and then suddenly reappears at Yuuki's side in the same manner, giving them a friendly pat on the head. It was good to see his master again, Tanba thought. "I meant to send a message and inform you sooner about the secret mission I've been on, but I got carried away it seems, the days passed on by before I even knew it!" What had it been? Weeks, months? Tanba hadn't a clue, especially when it came to how the passage of time and Rayshifting worked, but he could tell it had been a while. All the better that Tanba had finally returned.

"That's all out of the way, though, I'm here now and that's what's important, mm? Let's go find someone to eviscerate in celebration!"

mori is so smug that he beat tanaba in a contest of conquest, the blood-soaked berserker breaking out into a predatory, leery grin at the other servant. "beheadin's my thing. ya can't show me up when it comes to pleasin' *my* master."

"Berserker, there you are," replied Tanba, looking abs sounding absolutely jubilant, even if he was in fact a little peeved, "I knew you'd show up to gloat at some point!" Tanba would have preferred Mori hadn't but they were here now, in all their blood soaked glory. "I can't blame you for feeling high and mighty right now-- were I in your shoes, the shoes of someone who managed to score a lucky win against the Greatest Shinobi to ever live, I'd be feeling good, too!" Who wouldn't feel great after scoring (what Tanba thought was) a one in a billion chance triumph like Mori did? Tanba may not have liked the outcome, but he could understand their haughtiness, somewhat.

"But don't make the mistake of letting this luck go to your head, don't let it give you any FALSE impressions of superiority to me in any way." Tanba slowly approaches Mori and begins to rapidly change forms, going through the appearances of every servant contracted to Kiomi, his voice mirroring said servants at every turn, with some voices even persisting after he had changed, creating an uncanny harmony as he spoke. "Bask in the moment definitely, celebrate, parade around as you will," Tanba's cycle of forms comes to an abrupt end when he takes on Mori's, and begins speaking in their voice, his tone curt, vicious, threatening even, "but just know that this will be the last time you're able to lord a victory over me."

The mirrored figure that Mori would bear witness to then begins to rapidly decay before their very eyes, becoming a black, viscous, bone-laden puddle at their feet, only for a skull to poke it's face out of the puddle's surface, unhinge its jaw, and say, in a voice deeper than but not unlike Mori's, "THE LAST TIME, BERSERKER."

From the vile puddle at Mori's feet, a plethora of crows emerge, all flying at Mori, some even crashing into their chest and face. The crows then circle around Mori from above, before flying off into the distance // @lovedloyalty

❛  i’ll back you, no matter what comes.  ❜ to Tanba uwu

the blacklist sentence starters | no longer accepting | @nexarerum

"No matter what comes?" Tanba lets out a boisterous chuckle while standing there at Gabriella's side, "That's a very big promise, Gabs!" Chaos raged in the background as Gabriella's allies did battle with the towering serpent that had cast its shadow over the northern wall of Nippur. Tanba had yet to truly commit to this battle, but it was looking like he would soon have no choice but to give his all-- one by one, the great heroes who stood in the city's defense were beginning to falter, their will and prowess no match for that of a demonic god's. Even Tanba, proud and mighty as he was, couldn't ignore how dire things had become, and though he didn't openly display it, he had begun to wonder if this was a battle that could truly be won.

However, Tanba would be lying if he said he didn't feel inspired by Gabriella, by her promise, her conviction. Despite the short time they had known each other in this singularity, Tanba heard great sincerity in Gabriella's words, a level of sincerity he had not heard from many even during his own lifetime-- it was invigorating as well as endearing, to say the least. "But at times like these, those are the kinds of promises I like the most!" A number of golden blades appear in Tanba's right hand, and with confident swagger and excitement, he begins to spin some of them around his fingers. "The stakes here are high, and it makes a commitment like that all the more meaningful."

In the distance, another of the city's defenders had launched a valiant though vain assault against the towering serpent, and in no short time, the monster would soon turn its gaze back toward the northern wall, back toward Gabriella, and Tanba.

"I can't say for sure what the future holds here, buuuuuuut I, the Great Momochi Tanba, promise you something in return; " Tanba looks to Gabriella, his eyes meeting hers, and with hand touched to her shoulder, he smirks and proudly declares, "no matter what happens today, win or lose, I won't let you or humanity perish here." Tanba then cheerily adds, before turning and setting off to face the beast that had so far been unstoppable, "I think we'll be leaving here with a win today, though! We don't deserve anything less."

❛  my assistance may not be welcome, but it is most definitely required.  ❜ from semi to tanba 🥺

the blacklist sentence starters | selectively accepting | @chaieos

Did Tanba hear that right just now? Tanba, who had his back faced to Semiramis at this point instantly whips his whole body around to look at her. "But is it really required?" Tanba questioned, cheerful and smiling widely despite momentous task before him; claiming the Holy Grail from a plethora of legendary and divine opponents. "You're powerful, Sem, there's no doubt about that, I've seen what you can do-- I'm literally standing in some of your best work right now." Tanba says, gesturing to the Hanging Garden's they were both currently within; this place was a display of power and status like no other, a marvel that bordered on being a true miracle. "Your power might not be as straightforward as some other servants in this war, but I'll be the first to tell you, after me, you're the best there is."

Tanba points to himself rather enthusiastically, "I'm the best, though-- I don't need any help. Legendary knights, monsters, gods, demigods, some of them might be tricky targets but when push comes to shove, they're NOTHING compared to me." It might be incredibly arrogant of Tanba to say such things, especially when he's had his fair share of trouble with some of those aforementioned servants, but he speaks with the utmost confidence in what he says. The notion that Tanba required any help? Ludicrous to him.

Tanba wasn't about to write off Semiramis and her offer, however.

"All that said, I don't want to sound ungrateful. I like you Sem, I respect you." Tanba vanishes into a cloud of black feathers from his position at the foot of Semiramis throne and then suddenly reappears next to her in the same fashion seated on one of that throne's arms. There, Tanba looks down at Semiramis with a cheery smile and a roguish curiosity in his eyes, "Even if its not 'required', if you're offering me assistance, maybe I should be more welcome to it, mm?"

Ultimately, Tanba knew that his goals would be a lot easier to achieve if he had the active assistance of someone like Semiramis, and he liked to think the two of them already got along well enough as it was. Perhaps there was a matter of trust to be considered, but at the same time, Tanba didn't really care if this was some ploy and Semiramis tried to stab him in the back later on-- while that would make things more challenging, it would also make things more exciting for him. "You'll have to tell me more about what you have in mind, buuuuut I think you and me working together more closely might be a great idea after all."

scars:  how many scars does my muse have? where are they located on my muse’s body? how did they get them? what do they look like? + routine: does my muse have a consistent routine in their lives? do they find it difficult to stick to a routine? 

all about health // @artificile

scars:  how many scars does my muse have? where are they located on my muse’s body? how did they get them? what do they look like?

I: tanba has two main sets of scars on his body, but unlike the scars around his neck (answered here), the scars located on his lower back didn't come from an enemy.

II: all iga-ryu shinobi went through a series of rituals performed upon them before and during  their training, and one of the rituals in this process was a ceremony similar to the transferring of magic crests between two magi'. this ritual in question would, due to the intense channeling  of the energies housed in the iga-ryu's Divine Body, often cause scarring wherever a shinobi seal (akin to the magical crests of the magi or philosophy keys of the spiral manor / summit court) emerged on their body, and in tanba's case, his seal emerged on his lower back, leaving the area around it scarred in such a way that not even the greatest healing salves or magecraft could reverse.

III: the scars on tanba's lower back look like a distorted shadow of his shinobi seal (which is shaped like a crescent moon with many star-like indentations around it), and while these scars aren't anywhere near as gruesome looking as the ones around his neck, they still aren't easy on the eyes.

routine: does my muse have a consistent routine in their lives? do they find it difficult to stick to a routine? (was already answered here so i'll just substitute with; ) sleep: how many hours a night does my muse sleep? do they take naps? how restful is their sleep? do they experience nightmare? if so, how often?

I & II: tanba, as a servant, doesn't really need sleep, but he still sleeps / naps anyway about as often as he did in life, which suffice to say is often! if tanba is truly trying to sleep, he can knock out for about 9 hours, but he normally opts more for naps, of which he can have a handful on any given day, depending on how eventful things are.

III: sleep for tanba unfortunately isn't very 'restful', at least as a servant; that's not so say sleep is uncomfortable (it's actually very comfy for him) but more that sleeping doesn't really do anything for a servant outside of recharging their magical reserves. since servants don't feel 'sleepy' or require 'rest' like others do, there's no restfulness for them to gain from sleeping.

IV: servants don't typically dream outside of experiencing their own or their masters memories in dream form, but suffice to say between all that there's definitely a few nightmares to be had, if not from his own memories, then from those of his respective contract-ees. the frequency of those nightmares can vary too, but with tanba, when he does recount memories in dream form, the nightmarish ones don't come around too often.

why don't you come a little closer , i can't get a good look at you from that distance. i won't bite - pinky promise ?

@evsire //

Of course she wanted a better look at him, who didn't? To admire the great Momochi Tanba, to feast one's eyes upon his heavenly presence, he assumed those desires (among others) crossed just about everyone's mind at some point. However, it wasn't too often that people were so open about such desire's like Five was, and it always intrigued him when they were-- he found it admirable when people were bold (provided they had some sense of tact to boot), and because of Five's boldness, Tanba figured, why not? Why not humour her request, if only slightly?

"Closer, you say?" In an instant, Tanba would vanish and then reappear just a few feet away from Five, standing in a confident pose that was clearly meant to show off his figure. "Alright, but only because you promised not to bite." joked Tanba, as he looked toward Five with a smile. "Feel free to admire the great Momochi Tanba all you want!" Tanba's golden eyes lock onto Five's own as he raises a curious brow, "Maybe tell me your name, too, while you're at it? That would be nice; I always like to know who my fans are."

" Given that you have yet to be as annoying as I had predicted, I have presented you with a gift to display my pleasant surprise. " Oh, look, there's a plate handed over to Tanba, her worstie, with sweet treats she prepared herself. " Enjoy the honour. "

"I say don't count your chickens before they hatch-- who knows?" Tanba's lips curl into a menacing smile, and there's a hostile undertone to his otherwise cheery voice. "Maybe I will end up being the terror you initially expected, maybe I'm just waiting for the right moment." There's a few moments of silence where its not clear if Tanba is making some kind of joke or if he's dead serious....

..... Tanba's features and overall tone soften, however, when he finally looks down at the plate of sweets Kicho had offered him. "Oh! My! Goodness!" Tanba exclaims, taking hold of the plate with glee, "These look amazing! Thank you so much!"

*merlin hands you an expired coupon for outback steakhouse for any purchase up to the value of $30*

Tanba's initially thrilled by what he see's, very thrilled, what a lovely gift! $30 wouldn't make much of a difference to Tanba anyway with his wealth, but it was the thought that counted!

But then Tanba notices the coupon is expired... a few years expired at that, and he goes quiet for a few moments, his smile fading, his dreams of magnificent Outback-Steakhouse-couponing crashing down before his very eyes!!!!! How could Merlin do this????

................................... Tanba soon realizes, however, that he doesn't even know what an 'Outback Steakhouse' is, and that he doesn't really care, either.

So what does Tanba do? Tanba does what any other totally sane, reasonable person would do-- he summons a bow, ties the coupon to an arrow, and fires it straight out of his chambers.

Where would the coupon go?? Who would it briefly elate and then disappoint next?? Only time would tell................

“ You are here too … ” Nobutada says it more towards himself than to Tanba. “ You shamed Chasenmaru — No, Nobukatsu — beyond belief from the invasion. Although as the older brother I should have been furious, I must admit I was impressed. It was a masterful victory. I have nothing but respect for you, if you’ll accept it. “

          Tanba had once joked that the Throne of Heroes had a bias for retainers of the Oda clan, but every-time another one popped up, that joke seemed more and more like the truth. The servant Tanba laid his eyes on now, however, thankfully wasn't of the insufferable sort, and so he smiles and, in a chipper voice, replies, "Why thank you for saying so!" Tanba gestures to the other and continues, "Back at that time, when I first heard Iga was being invaded, I'd actually hoped it was you leading the Oda armies-- your reputation as a commander and combatant had preceded you, and most of all I looked forward to besting Nobunaga's favorite!" Tanba laughs a bit, "Besting Nobukatsu was still fun either way, and still a masterful show on my part like you said, but I'm sure you would’ve put up a much more interesting fight." Tanba doesn't bow his head to the other, but he does give them an acknowledging, respectful nod, as he cheerily adds, "I'll definitely accept your respect,  though, so long as you'll accept a bit of mine."
