the daily life meme

[kbcctv]

the daily life meme We all know sword boys don't fight 24/7, right? So what do they get up to off the battlefield? Plenty, actually. Getting ready for the day, having meals together, arguing over sleeping arrangements - there's a lot more to life than just sorties. This meme is all about that. ► A - morning 1. RISE AND SHINE, EVERYONE! Time to get up for another busy day. The alarm has went off in the Citadel's rooms, but not everyone heeds its call immediately. Are you already up even before the bell goes, or do you decide to lie in for just a little more? Has your buddy rolled off his futon? Maybe it's time to poke him to wake him up. Of course, the decision is ultimately yours to make. 2. Getting ready for the day. Due to the shortage of rooms, most swords have a roommate (or two). What're your daily rituals like? Want to comment on someone using too much hair gel or strange-looking liquids in modern plastic tubes? Or banging on the bathroom door because the other guy doesn't come out and you need to pee right now? Let's hope you can last until they finally make their exit... 3. Breakfast. Who's cooking? What's cooking? Do you like it? Do you not like it? If you don't, do you make your own? Don't set the kitchen on fire if you're trying out something new, too. It's expensive to get a new stove. 4. Sortie Preparations. Going somewhere new today? Better be sure you have all your troops and equipment in order. What colour did you get this time? If you don't ensure the little soldiers go into their spirit orbs properly, you won't get protection later on. And if you're not that happy with your squadmates, maybe someone will swap with you. Go ask around. ► B - daytime 1. Lunch...? Sorties often take full days, so lunch is usually bento on most days, prepared by one of the servant spirits or by a friend of yours. (No prizes for guessing who did it.) Have fun eating on the field. Maybe you can even grab some fruits off a nearby tree, if you're lucky! Let's hope no one swapped your packed lunch while you weren't looking... 2. For those resting. Not everyone goes out all the time, so there's bound to be a few swords remaining in the Citadel every day. What will you do to entertain yourself during this time? Sparring, watching television, or exploring the fields around? 3. Expeditions. These are different from sorties, in that there are no battles involved and you're only required to scout around. If you're sent to a populated place, then there's more to do. It's best to blend in, but maybe you can even goof off a little. Just don't do anything drastic, because that might change history and nobody wants that. 4. Day off. If it's break day, then everyone will be in the Citadel. Sleeping, hanging out with friends, mischief, or just chilling in your own room - the sky's the limit. ► C - evening 1. Welcome home. How did your sortie go? If you're injured, the saniwa will repair you. Or maybe your whole team got unlucky, and you're waiting in line. Yagen should be able to help you out, but can you find him? 2. Dinner. Usually more extravagant than breakfast, and held in the courtyard under the setting sun campfire-style. If anyone brought marshmellows, it's time to roast them - but if not, you can still enjoy your well-earned meal alongside your friends. 3. Technology time. There is a TV room in the Citadel, as well as a gaming room (by popular request). There's Smash Bros, Pokemon, an assortment of party games, and the ever-present Mario Kart. Will friendships be forged or broken today? Only time will tell. 4. Some peace and quiet. Or maybe none of these interest you, and what you really need right now is some silence. Go out to the fields and watch fireflies, or just enjoy the cool evening breeze. ► D - night 1. Cleaning up. There's a queue for the washroom to bathe. If you didn't take the chance to shower before dinner, you'll have to wait. Let's hope everyone has closed their doors properly... 2. Stargazing. Still lingering in the courtyard? There will be a feast for the eyes of those who stayed up late enough. Since the Citadel is so far away from everything else, the skies are perfectly dark - letting the brilliance of constellations shine through. Isn't it beautiful? 3. Sleepytimes. It's lights out, but not everyone goes to sleep on the dot. Are you still up chatting, or is the snoring of your roommate what's kept you awake instead? Roll them over to the side, maybe they'd stop this way. ► E - wildcard Feel free to write your own prompts!

cool grandpa

[candlecutterpikachu]

[ Hit me with a prompt and we can get the ball rolling, or hit me anyway and I'll write one.

Also available in Oda flavour (deverium), tell me if you'd like me to write that instead! ]

u kno

[newtimes]

( Mutsunokami had spent the earlier part of the day in the armory with the saniwa, helping to create troops. Anyone walking by would have surely heard some of their more frustrated cries when their more hopeful attempts ended in failure. Eventuall, a little later on in the day, the troops were divided and assigned swords as leaders, just in time for a new group to head out for the day. As for the troops that weren't assigned squads, Mutsu's taken them out for the day, further away from the citadel than most normally stray.

He isn't hard to find though! One only needs to follow the sound of firearms going off in the distance to find Mutsu with a small array of troops. He can't lead them into battle (which isn't fair) but he can assess and test their proficiency to help determine where they should go.The rifles they use are a little more old fashioned than he'd like but over time, he's gotten fairly used to them.

Mitsutada will find Mutsu just as he's finishing up his inspection, patting one of the troops before sending them off, one rifle swung over his shoulder. When he sees Mitsutada, he grins, )

Come to watch? Ya're a little late!

here have an amnesiac grandpa

[deverium]

[ Mitsutada had not been assigned sorties yet, due to the fact that a squad could not be arranged just yet. Everyone was still easing their way around him - which was complicated by how his fighting style has not-so-subtly changed. With his housekeeping duties done, he starts making his way to where Mutsu asked him to meet.

The troops file past him in a chattering stream, which he watches with his usual unreadable expression. Once they leave, he turns his attention to the uchigatana. ]

There was more work than expected. [ But he finished as fast as he could, so he just states it flatly. ]

an amalgation of prompts for grandpa

[hoasen]

[Here we have one other old spirit thing sitting around at the Citadel, looking out to see it has turned into evening. What she heard was that Mitsutada was out with five others on a sortie. Not that she minded, because she could spend some time catching up with other swords while they go about their business. There was one time she introduced them all to the wonders that is Uncharted 3 and that Aizen wanted to be as cool as Nathan Drake, but that is another story to tell...

But since she's here, she helped with dinner too, including putting some away from the parties who are on their sortie/expeditions. It was getting rather late now though? Wonder if they arrived home and she missed it.]

The first grandpa

[mikazuki_munechika]

((ooc: Tag me with a promt if you like or poke me if you want me to write one!))

jokes on you i am another grandpa

[birthmarkless]

[A-2]

[ Probably closed to male characters only??? Because lbr, why are you girls in the man's bathroom?? Except for peeking. Anyway, Ookurikara is currently taking a dump. BIG dump. And he's taking his time well while reading a newspaper that he brought with him there.

Need to pee? Wait until he finished reading this headline corner about Masamune Date. ]

[C-3]

[ Closed to a group of four because newest Smash Bros isn't fun with merely two characters. Tags order are probably first come first serve??

Anyway, sit down with kuri who seems to be intrigued with the game. He knows practically nothing about this shit ok so he's going to choose a character that looks strong. He's picking the I'M REALLY FEELING IT guy. Are you ready, friends?? ]

[onslaughts]

[ wow you can't just call yourself the prettiest.......

take your pick between sleepytime, some kind of horrible breakfast, the bloodiest of welcome homes--unless you have some other preference! ]

look i'm finally here, okay. /crashes into the wall

[housewaki]

[ you get bathroom time because clearly my mind is always in the bathroom. like a bad gintama joke.






.....look, I can write different prompts, if you want a non-bathroom one, I can change this. :(


Your shampoo bottle is empty, Kashuu, and it's been a long day of farming. Are you sure you want to go without washing your hair for one day? You've taken so long to rinse the dirt out that the whole bathroom's empty save for one other sword.... ]

you can never have too many riverchildren

[hardtohandle]

A-2: If he had eyeliner game, it would be strong.

[If it were a day Kashuu was planned for the battlefield, he'd get up quicker. As it's one of his off days, he takes a little more leisurely approach. Get up, stretch a little, enjoy the fresh sunbeams, and finally... gussy himself up a little.]

[After the most minor (it took a while) of touch-ups to his face, he sets about the monumental task of making sure his polish is fresh, neat, and perfectly colored. This requires the utmost focus, and those who interrupt the task will surely meet the early-morning rage of Kashuu Kiyomitsu.]

[So, clearly, do it.]

C-3: Gotta collect 'em all is universal.

[Tap. Tap, tap, tap. Kashuu had originally deemed the out-of-place technology as "useless," but having a day to kill without expeditions, missions, or sparring left him open to a lot more than he would admit. He'd found an interesting handheld console and, after a lot of deliberation (and picking the far cuter girl trainer), was playing... Pokémon. He had, without really planning to, sunk a lot of time into it...]

Ah! [He can't help but exclaim a little when the enemy trainer sends out one of these.] That one! Where did they get that one, I wonder? Ahhhh, I want it...

D-2: Wow, how can you say that with a straight face?

[Truly, the stars in the night sky are magnificent. In the future their light would be dimmed by the ongoing progress of humanity, as their brilliance would cover the stars. For now, they're in their original state, a wonder to behold. Kashuu didn't make a habit of stargazing but, well, he could appreciate pretty things.]

It's a nice night, [he admits, maybe to himself, maybe to an onlooker.] But, between myself and the stars... ah, hm, I wonder which is prettier. [It's him. He's the prettiest.]

D-2

[reprizesal]

[Before he can turn in for the night, Sayo would sometimes walk around the Citadel. It let him work off the remaining, restless energy he have from today and to clear his mind. He paused when he notice Kashuu fairly easily - night time, after all, are perfect for tantou like himself to move around in - and overheard his words.

He walked towards Kashuu, not really disguising his approach at all, and gazed up at the stars above.]

...It is a nice night.

[Hey, there.]

Newbie copy grandpa I guess???

[yamanblanketry]

[ A-3

Someone doesn't care that a tattered cloak is a fire hazard in the kitchen. Yamanbagiri is still cooking with it on. That said, he takes great care with his cooking, trying to make it the best it can be. If he fails, it's the fault of him being a copy; that's how everyone will view it. He knows that now.

... Or he's taking up this chore because it suits someone like him better than suiting one of the famous swords. Both are equally likely.

C-4/D-2

Not much of a social one, Yamanbagiri sits away from the others, wrapped up in his cloak, and watches the sky begin to darken. The trees become silhouetted against the bright, colorful sunset. The voices from the citadel fade into the distance. He likes when it gets dark, and shadows begin to cover everything. People can't see him and compare him to the real Yamanbagiri. It's harder for him to see his own copied appearance as well.

It's... peaceful. ]
