6 ❀ Summer Citadel

[konnosuke]

Beach. Everyone has been working so hard lately so why not take a break and enjoy the beach? You can make sand castles, play in the water, and there are even umbrellas for those who'd rather just relax in the shade. There's a nice row of water melons ready to be smashed later in the day and when the sun goes down, that's when the sparklers come out. Suffering. It's the hottest time of the year and the citadel doesn't have central air conditioning. The few air conditions that were installed have given up on life after being used so much and now, we really have to make do with what we can while the Konnosuke try to fix it. There's a limited number of fans, plenty of ice cream to go around, and the citadel should be built to circulate air, right? ... Right?! Spooks. In Japan, summer is a time for horror. Gather around the camp fire and hear some spooky ghost stories or maybe head out into the woods just outside the citadel for a good ol' fashioned test of courage. It's all good, harmless fun! Of course, with so many spirits gathered in one place, what's to say a stray or curious outsider spirit won't join the mix... Rain. Summer is also known for sudden and torrential downpours of rain. The clouds always seem to grown and darken suddenly and the next thing you know, it's raining sheets and the ground is shaking from thunder. Once it starts, it never seems to stop. Maybe you were caught out in the rain or maybe this is day 7 stuck inside. Other! It's summer and there are tons of things to do. Go to the general store and stock up on ice cream, wake up in the middle of the night uncomfortable with heat, or run around screaming because cicadas are dying and flying at your face.

[Ichigo had only turned his back for a second when one of his brothers accidentally sets a beach umbrella on fire and he hears Hasebe’s cries. Cut him some slack though, there’s only one of him and 15 of them!

Ichigo quickly grabs a bucket of water to dose the flames but... he also accidentally splashes water over Hasebe as well...]

Heshikiri-dono!! I’m so sorry! Are you all right? Here! [He hands him a large towel.]

[Could he fault Ichigo for trying at all, since he's the one who has 15 brothers, and not enough hands? Probably not, but it doesn't stop him from looking grumpy all the same. Mostly because he looks like a drowned rat.

Still, it wasn't Ichigo's fault, so as he takes the towel--] Thank you. [--and starts to wipe his brow, he's beginning to calm down.]

You need not apologise. You were only attempting damage control.

[Hasebe looks so funny but Ichigo isn’t going to laugh for that’s bad manners. He can hear some of his brothers giggling behind him though, so he shoots them a look and they stop and run off.]

Still I’m very sorry as I’m the one who gave them the sparklers. [He bows apologetically, but then he spots the seaweed in Hasebe’s hair.] Ah, Heshikiri-dono... your hair...
