n-new person here, saying hi!

[rawrr]

A - Citadel

[ There's no Sorties to go on, the daily chores have been done, which means that finally there's some down time to enjoy. And what better way, than to mess with one of the cool devices their master Saniwa has brought back from the future alongside them??

Shishiou has officially hijacked the tablet.

It takes a lot of messing around with it to get it to work right and all that, but once he figures it out he'll be flipping quickly through the album of photos in order to find pictures of the swords...and promptly use the doodle option to put all sorts of bizarre, ridiculous scribbles on them: eye patches, moustaches, moles, uzumaki, you name it. And the moment he sees you, he's going to hold it up with a grin. ]

Hey hey! Check this out! Isn't it great?? The great Shishiou-sama has decorated your portrait for you, hehe~

B - Stables

[ Unlike other swords, Shishiou isn't actually that opposed to working with the horses. He's not a huge fan of them (aside from how tasty they look), but the old man had been fond of them and he doesn't mind them all that much. He'd prefer to ride one into battle instead of brushing out their fur and cleaning the stocks, but it's his turn.

It is just totally, completely boring compared to the thrill of battle. That's all. Which is why he leans heavily on his pitchfork rather than use it for its intended purpose. ]

I guess it beats field work... A man hunt'd be way more fun! Naa, Shiroage? [ ...Yes, he might just be talking to the horse. Instead of whoever his partner is for this chore today, because clearly a war horse will understand his want for excitement and thrills. Clearly. ]

C - Fieldwork

[ So remember how he said he preferred taking care of the horses to this? Shishiou meant it, because no matter how careful he is (or tries to be), it's just dirty work. There's mud on his feet, mud on his pants, mud on his hands, his arms, his shirt--even though he'd rolled up the sleeves. Pretty much the only places it isn't is his face and hair. Which is nice, but it's still a dang pain in the ass. He's going to have to soak to get it out from under his nails.

If it were the grit and dirt granted from a heady battle it'd be one thing, but from pulling weeds and collecting vegetables? The thrill is just not there. But the dirt is. The dirt will always be there.

But hey. If he's working he might as well enjoy some of the fruits of his labour right?? No one will miss him is he takes a quick break to the river nearby and has a few chilled cucumbers right?

Right?? ]

D - Wildcard!

[ Hit me up with your own scenario! ]

Comments

[rawrr]

[ He is going to easier ground to run on, and that is what is important here!! What he lacks in height and long legs Shishiou makes up in energy and pure spunk, grinning to the nines and a mile wide. He isn't going to answer Kashuu with a reason. He's just going to make a growl and click his teeth, just like his manly manly namesake.

Also he maybe wants to tease and freak the Uchigatana out a little more, especially with his Nue nearly as worked up as he is now, fur all ruffled up and maw wide.

THEY WILL CHASE NO ONE ELSE. Kashuu is their prey today. ]

[adornmental]

[HE DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS. He especially didn't sign up for the nue?! At least with Shishiou, there's the understanding that he won't actually be eaten (probably). But that shady thing he carries around clearly can't be trusted...

Anyway, Kashuu rounds a corner, ends up nearly slipping in the muck lining the riverbank, and has to scramble frantically to right himself so he doesn't get caught and MURDERED. Or whatever it is sword-lions do with their prey. Thrown into the muddiest part of the river, probably, and it'd be well-deserved.]

Look what you made me do!

[HE'S GOT MUD ON HIS HAKAMA NOW! His pristine, ultra-clean hakama!!]

[rawrr]

[ Oh Kashuu, you worry about your hakama... When the beast of the bunch is headed right your way, cares not for that slippery ground when it comes to rounding the corner and simply goes into a slide with one hand braced in that horrible, icky (glorious) mud.

Be prepared to screech and make every harpy proud, Kashuu, because before he even rights himself completely?? ]

Hehehe, head's up!! [ He's whipping it at the shorter's face just like the supports do their catapults.

But hey, he hears mud masks in the future are a thing. ]

[adornmental]

[The harpies are going to come for him at this rate, since he's clearly one of their lost kin...

Which is to say, he does let out an incredibly hellish scream as soon as the mud collides with his face. It only gets half, at least! The result of a well-timed attempt at dodging...! But he sure could have done better, and now he's suffering for it. His struggle is truly eternal.]

SHISHIOU—!!

[His pitch also definitely bounces upward about halfway through that scream, like he's somehow found even more indignation, agitation and aggravation to spare. Incredible!]

I can't believe you! [HE'S SO BETRAYED.]

[rawrr]

[ He's helping beautify you!! Facials and mud masks are totally things that exist...even if Shishou doesn't know that. All he knows is that the expression on Kashuu's face? That screech just now? P r i c e l e s s. It's going to be worth the gut he busts laughing at it as he doubles over, arms wrapped around his stomach. ]

Hehehehe--!! That look really suits you...! [ BWAHAHAHA ]

[adornmental]

[This punkass sword. Not only did he single-handedly deliver true suffering to Kashuu, but now he's laughing about it!? INCREDIBLE. He's never been so betrayed by a comrade before...]

You... [Is he gonna cry?? He looks like he might cry for a second--

But no, that's just Kashuu's "I'm about to pitch a fit" face, and in the next second, he's LAUNCHING FORWARD with the intent of tackling Shishiou over. It's easier to not care about mud when you're already kind of covered in it, okay.]

[rawrr]

[ WELL there was that time where he got chipped and subsequently thrown away... ]

Bring it--!! [ If Shishiou sounds entirely too pleased about Kashuu's impromptu tackle, that's because he most certainly is, and he's ready to receive him when the Uchigatana's body collides with his, knocking him back into the muck.

But he's already sort of prepared for it, using the momentum to try and turn them as they hit the ground and pin the other. DOING NALA AND SIMBA PROUD and all. ]

[adornmental]

[Look okay if he doesn't talk about it it never happened, right?? There is no war in Ba Sing Se.

This is the exact opposite of what he wanted, though!! Granted, it's not like he should have expected anything else from a dumb move like this... But no, somehow he's surprised! So maybe it's more like Simba and Zazu, considering that's about how much indignant shrieking Kashuu is doing right now. He's managing to hold his own surprisingly well, though! It's almost like there's a dirty scrapper under all those layers of screeching about being clean and pretty!

But in the end, even a teeny tiny tachi like Shishiou is enough to overpower the general strength and stamina of a(n equally small, honestly) uchigatana like Kashuu. His attempts at pinning will eventually be a success, and Kashuu sure will try to kick him in the shins for it.]

Get off, dammit!!

[rawrr]

[ Kick away, little diva. Kick away, Shishiou's too busy preening over his victory like a lion over its kill, all teeth and grins with his hands braced into Kashuu's shoulders to pin him down. Even the Nue is feeling particularly triumphant, swishing restlessly on the blonde's shoulder. ]

Hehe~~~ Shoulda known better than to run from a lion Kashuu! [ As if that totally excuses his behaviour and justifies this entire procession of events. ]

[adornmental]

[HE'S KICKIN, HE'S KICKIN. Not that it's doing much good... He probably looks more like a flailing, tantruming toddler than a ferocious sword trying to battle his way to freedom.]

You're the one who started it! That was aaall you!! [SHOVING AT HIS SHOULDERS. He's wary of the hand closer to the Nue though, considering he's still marginally concerned it might take a snap at his fingers in its excitement.]

I hope you know you're like, totally gonna be the one responsible for our laundry after this. No way am I cleaning up your mess!

[rawrr]

[ Precious itty bitty Uchigatana who is only 4.3cm shorter than him but shh. He's got more mass that Kashuu so even if the other manages to lift a little, all Shishiou has to do is lean his weight forward onto him to force him back down triumphantly. CAT WHICH HAS GOTTEN THE MOUSE and all. ]

"Our"?? We're the only ones who got dirty! [ Trying to make him responsible for everyone's clothes Kashuu?? Rude.

But you know, that gives him an idea... A very terrible idea, in which he spares the one of the Uchigatana's shoulders from his touch...so that he can shove it into the muck and pull it right back up, wiggling his fingers ominously over the poor baby. ]

[adornmental]

[clearly those 4cm count WHAT A PUNK, THOUGH. If he was a dirty scrapper like Mutsu or Kanesada, he'd have probably figured out a way to fling dirt at Shishiou's eyes while screaming BLINDING TECHNIQUE or something, but fortunately for him - fortunately for both of them, honestly - Kashuu sticks to traditional fighting too hard to even consider it...]

You can't just wash two outfits! [Just do the whole team's laundry, gosh!!] Anyway, we're totally not the only ones who got dirty. Just look at—

[But then he's interrupted because he briefly thinks FREEDOM IS COMING HIS WAY... But before he can even struggle partially upright, Shishiou's grody mud-covered hand is looming like The Biggest Threat and naturally he's just screaming all over again.]

Oh my god—! Put your hand down!!

[rawrr]

Hehehe, sure! [ WATCH HIM LOWER IT TOWARDS YOU KASHUU, that was a very poor choice of words.

...Luckily though he's not going for gold as it were with this. He's giving Kashuu time to rethink he command as he slllooowwwwly reaches down towards him with his muddy, muck-covered hand menacingly. ]

[adornmental]

Not on me, not on me!!

[NOOO-- He's appropriately menaced, honestly. THIS IS AWFUL, he's panicking, how the hell is he going to get out of this one...! Bartering appears to be his only option here, so he'll just throw his chips into that pot and hope for the best, lord.]

I—I was just kidding! I was just kidding about the clothes—!

[rawrr]

[ HOW QUICKLY THE MIGHTY AND PROUD FALL...

But oh man, this is just too funny. Shishiou actually almost feels bad because of how panicked the poor little Uchigatana looks, but then. This is all in good fun for him so he can't feel too guilty over it. It's more funny than anything as he wiiiiiiiggles his fingers at him. ]

Yeah? You sure about that?

[adornmental]

[When his clothes are at stake, he's gotta cave...]

I'm sure!! I'M SURE.

[And boy does he cave fast when he has to. He may have already been splatted with a mudball, but the last thing he wants is more mud!!]

[rawrr]

Hehe... Man, you're a total kitty when it comes to staying clean huh? [ Shishiou wiggles his fingers oooooone more time, before he leans back and shakes his hand off to the side. And, of course. Grins. ]

I wasn't really gonna mess you up, relax~ You're too easy Kashuu.

[adornmental]

You're the worst! Really the worst!

[But not incorrect... Kashuu is definitely no better than a cat when it comes to cleanliness, picky to the point of over-grooming (or slacking off when he really should be doing his share of the work.)

Anyway, shoving at Shishiou's torso like a rude shit because he doesn't want to be on the ground anymore and he no longer feels like he's at risk of being ruined further by Mudhands McGee over here.]

[rawrr]

[ Someone is a sore loserrrrrr but that's okay, Shishiou likes him anyway. He's just laughing as he gets pushed back, waiting for Kashuu to get up before he stands himself and brushes off the seat of his pants. ]

You gonna pout for the rest of the day now? We still have to go back and help y'know. [ Now is no time to be sulking over a splatter of mud and licking wounds. ]

[adornmental]

[HE'S THE SOREST LOSER, THE SOUREST GRAPE!! But it's not like he actually dislikes Shishiou either, even if he's a dirty punk hooligan who doesn't know how to bathe.

With another petulant huff, he rights himself and starts the long, long task of trying to wipe off as much mud as possible, starting with whatever's managed to remain on his face. He'd rather dirty his yukata than walk around looking like he face-dove into a mud pit...]

You wasted both of our breaks, you know! [Like they were actually supposed to be breaking in the first place?!] I don't wanna go back to work until I get a good one. [Like he needs a good one.]

[rawrr]

[ He could use a good swat on the butt for how huffy he's being right now........ ]

Aw c'mon~ We work extra hard and Master'll praise us! Plus we'll be finished sooner.

[adornmental]

[NO ONE CAN DISCIPLINE HIM he's a free sword--

A free sword who's also really, really easy to bait. Sure, he whines and gripes and complains about having to work pretty much every single time he's sent to the fields, but still. Master's praise...]

Mmm... Fine. I wanna get out of these gross clothes soon, anyway.

[rawrr]

[ None of them can resist praise from their Saniwa... Even Shishiou craves that kind of attention and can't help seeking it. With so many of them to attend to it's rare to have direct one-on-one time with them. But oh, how he covets it. ]

That's the spirit! C'mon--let's fill a whole basket with weeds and get tons of praise!

[adornmental]

[It's a hard knock life, being just one of fifty generally very attention-hungry and needy swords... Kashuu is extra aggressive with his attention-seeking to make up the difference a little but gosh, sometimes it just isn't enough.]

You better not try anything funny once we get back there. I'll be watching you!

[insert metaphoric POINTS AT EYES, POINTS AT SHISHIOU.]

kashuu you're precious........

[rawrr]

[ SALUTE. Because he's an energetic dork like that, who just can't help enjoying how huffy Kashuu is and HOW EASY IT WAS to motivate him. None of them can resist Sanimom/Sanipapa. ]

Got iiiiiit~~~
