6 ❀ Summer Citadel


  1. 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.
  2. 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?!
  3. 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...
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

I have my doubts that others will get jealous...

[ He chuckles softly, giving Mikazuki a warm smile. ]

But I suppose I should be getting back to making those snacks I wanted to.

And now you are in no danger of overheating while you do so. Go on. I'll give your clothes to Ookurikara to bring back to your room.

[Because what's the use of being a Tenka Goken if you can't order grumpy uchigatanas around?]

You are far too generous. I'll have to make you a special treat as thanks.
tsukijiji: (hahaha)

Well then, it would feel wrong of me to refuse, but do not work too hard on my account. Go on, now, off you go.

[aka, yes, please spoil him.]

Yes yes, I'm off now. Thank you again for your kindness.

[ he gives Mikazuki a small bow with a smile as he leaves his room. He sort of owes him anyway since he did lend out this yakata to him. ]
