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]

[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.

[rawrr]

[ Shishiou does. HIS TOWEL'S LONG GONE. ]

What's wrong with that?? S'not like we wore clothes before we became human.

[adornmental]

[It just vanished into the indecent exposure ether...]

We didn't have anything to cover before we became human!

[rawrr]

[ Actually he's gonna use it to scrub you down boyo SORRY ABOUT THAT. He's soaping it up as we speak. ]

So why worry about it now??

[adornmental]

[Why does he trust Shishiou with anything?! This betrayal. Good thing(???) he's also very much not facing Shishiou (propriety!!!!) so he totally misses where his towel's been repurposed to.]

'Cause things are different now, duh! Why do you even have to ask?

[rawrr]

Being naked doesn't bother me. [ Obviously, since he hasn't had an ounce of shame this entire time. Naked is the same as being unsheathed, and that's like being drawn for battle. It's a natural state for a Tachi like himself! Kashuu's just being silly.

He'll place the soap-filled towel against his back now though, scrubbing much more gently for the delicate princes. ]

[adornmental]

[KASHUU IS BEING SENSIBLE AND IS SURROUNDED BY MANIACS!! Maniac streakers...

Anyway, he braces himself a little as soon as Shishiou touches his back again, but ah! Wow, he really is being more gentle this time... It's a miracle.]

...If you know how to wash gently, why didn't you do it from the start?

[COMPLAINS ANYWAY.]

[rawrr]

I'm only doing it like this 'cause you complained so much. [ This is not a manly way of washing at all, blegh. IF YOU DON'T TAKE OFF A LAYER OF GRITTY SKIN IT ISN'T CLEANING, etc. ] I'm always way tougher than this.

[ Tougher on himself, he means. And Nue. ]

[adornmental]

[DON'T BE TOUGH ON NUE he's a delicate fuzzball...]

The point of washing is to clean the dirt away, y'know? Not like, peel off your whole back.

[It's almost like eyerolling has its very own tone, with the way Kashuu says that!]

[rawrr]

[ He is a tough lawnmower of a monster, HE'S FIIIINE. He fluffs right up after. ]

Yeah but just bein' all wishy-washy isn't gonna get it off! 'Specially after a big sortie. You've gotta scrub hard to get all the guck off.

[ Just think about it Kashuu: dirt under the nails, blood on your clothes and face, grit in your hair...THE GLORIES OF BATTLE. ]

[adornmental]

[Ah, like that floam stuff...]

Only if you're basically rolling around in the mud out there?! Blood doesn't take a lot of scrubbing to get off, so I dunno what you're doing.

[Rolling around in the blood mud, presumably.]

[rawrr]

[ SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO DODGE okay. ]

Chopping bad guy to bits, duh! I mean 'm not as bad as Yasusada, but...

[adornmental]

Do it without getting dirty enough to need sandpaper!

[What's wrong with these swords he's surrounded by, honestly?? The question of the hour. He's going to run out of judgmental faces to make at this rate...]

[rawrr]

What's the point in fighting if you don't give it your all though?? You wanna get down and dirty!

[adornmental]

You can do that without rolling in the dirt! Maybe you're just fighting weird.

[Clearly that's it. CLEARLY.]

[rawrr]

It's called "getting down and dirty." Maybe you haven't heard of it before Kahsuu. [ Flick. Right to the small of his back. ]

[adornmental]

[He's definitely making an embarrassingly high-pitched yelping sound at that, though his hands immediately fly to his mouth. HE'S A DELICATE PRINCESS, STOP THAT.]

—Don't do that! That surprised me!

[rawrr]

What?? It was just a flick! You can handle something like that can't you?? [ Mister GIANT PRINCESS BABY. ]

[adornmental]

It didn't hurt or anything, geez! [Now he feels like he has to protect his (nonexistent?!) masculinity against Shishiou!!] I was just surprised, that's all.

[rawrr]

[ OH? Then clearly he won't mind if Shishiou does it again. In the exact same place. ]

[adornmental]

[Well, Kashuu doesn't make any embarrassing sounds this time, at least! Even if he still jumps a little.]

—Why can't you just do things normally?! Gimme that if you're just gonna be annoying.

[The towel, he means...]
