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

[adornmental]

[He doesn't feel any better if Shishiou isn't even affected by it!!

Also, that gets him the flattest response in the world (after Kashuu is done sputtering like a drowned rat again, anyway):]

I'll definitely kill you if you try.

[rawrr]

[ HE'S AN OLD MAN IN A YOUNG BODY, just try to frazzle him Kashuu. Just try it. ]

Haa?? But you were the one who told me to wash you. [ ...Ish. He offered and Kashuu said yes. ]

[adornmental]

[If he can't frazzle, he'll just have to stab, clearly!!]

I also told you to be gentle! My face is super red, isn't it?! I don't even need to look to know that it is!

[rawrr]

[ Stabbing is RUDE??? Wow. ]

Eh? You sure that's not just 'cause you're embarrassed~?

[adornmental]

[Rude, but effective!]

I'm one-hundred percent sure!

[He's also embarrassed, but it's embarrassing just admitting that?! His towel, he needs it to protect himself...]

[rawrr]

[ Kashuu, put the towel down and let him scrub you proper you Princess. ]

Then don't fuss so much! We're both katana~

[adornmental]

[No. In fact, he's clutching onto his towel for emphasis!!]

No! You're too rough. Just gimme the bucket already, geez-- [REACHING FOR IT.]

[rawrr]

[ Gosh, fine. The bucket is all yours you grump. Shishiou's just sighing and putting his hands on his hips. ]

You always make such a fuss... You should relax more y'know! You're gonna get wrinkles~

[adornmental]

[He's a grump, but he's a grump with a bucket, so he's satisfied.]

Says you. Even if I did get wrinkles, it wouldn't be my fault.

[It'd be because he ages 100 years a day having to deal with punks like Shishiou.]

[rawrr]

[ ...WELL. Punk is better than old man. He'll take it. ]

You worry too much!

[adornmental]

So don't give me a reason to worry!

[GOSH. A simple solution!! But he'll start (GENTLY) washing himself after that, facing away from Shishiou because he's STILL EMBARRASSED but also because he's a salty huffy little brat.]

[rawrr]

Touchy...

[ Shishiou sighs and turns to pick up the discarded bucket, turning it over in his hands as he prepares to refill it with water. But as he does an idea occurs to him...and it's too tempting not to try.

So he'll go and fill it like he should, leaving Kashuu to wash as daintily as he wants. But in a moment? He's going to turn back, bucket held over his head....and dump it all over the Uchigatana. ]

[adornmental]

[He's washing super daintily, it's true...

Or he was, but then he had to deal with a big ol' bucket of surprise water part 2: electric boogaloo. WHY?? (That part he actually does scream aloud - why.) And this time he actually does stand up from his stool, if only so he can swing his cloth at Shishiou's head...]

[rawrr]

[ Swing his precious cloth he's been hiding behind for so long--Shishiou would be so proud if it weren't coming straight for his head and thwacking him upside it.

...Actually no you know what? He's still proud. He's also laughing, holding the bucket up between them as if he can somehow hide behind it. ]

[adornmental]

Just stay on your side of the baths and leave me alone!! You're giving me a headache!

[Can they even get headaches?? Maybe he's just once again being a whiny baby... But lord, he's so frustrated he doesn't even have it in him to get embarrassed just yet, even though that's definitely on the way.]

[rawrr]

Come on~~~~ I promise--I'll do a real good job! No rough scrubbing. I'll use a towel. [ Come on Kashuu. IT'S SKINSHIP ANCIENT JAPAN WAS ALL ABOUT THAT. ]

[adornmental]

You must think I'm really dumb to try that twice in a row.

[HE'S NOT FALLING FOR IT. Take your skinship and buckets and towels to the other side of the bath!!!]

[rawrr]

But having your back scrubbed feels nice right? [ Riiiiiight? ]

[adornmental]

[...HE'S NOT WRONG, that's the worst part.]

Only if it's not super hard scrubbing! I don't think you can do it.

[rawrr]

Okay okay! I promise I'll be gentle. [ is that better you big naked baby ]

[adornmental]

[THE BIG NAKED BABY IS CONSIDERING THIS.

...]

If you mess up again, I'll seriously punch you.

[Ah, he really is dumb enough to believe it a second time.]

[rawrr]

[ It's probably because AS BIG A BRAT AS HE CAN BE, Shishiou is not actually a troublemaker or a secret yandere like some of their fellow swords. He's actually a pretty reliable guy...even if his 'gentle' standards may need some work. ]

Deal~

[adornmental]

[It's true, he'd take a rough guy who needs to learn the definition of "bath" over one of their troublemaking or secret yanyan swords any day...

He also finally remembers to be embarrassed! So he reaches forward to snatch his towel back, and just tries to act like none of that happened... IT'S COOL, WE'RE ALL GOOD HERE, THIS IS FINE.]

Then you can.

[Sitting back on his stool all prim and proper-like.]

[rawrr]

[ Like a pretty, pretty Princess. ]

...

You worried about your towel or something? [ You didn't need to put that on you silly boy he's already seen your "blade". ]

[adornmental]

Yes!

[LOOK... Indecent exposure is still indecent exposure! He couldn't possibly just sit here on this stool with it all hanging out...]

Not everyone likes walking around naked.
