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've never heard of this..! Do you think they have any? I'd be willing to try any flavor!

[ For a sword as tall and old looking as Kanesan, he sure could sound like a child sometimes. Well, to be fair he was a baby sword after all, but still. ]

[HE IS THE BABIEST OF BABIES and Kashuu is apparently in the mood to indulge...]

They might! Won't know until we look, yeah? But even if they don't, I hear that kinda stuff is suuuper easy to make. We'd just have to grab a popsicle tray or something from that store.

[But let's be real this is a magic musebox, so once they arrive at the stand, the menu will certainly have frozen fruits available!]

[ Bless Kashuu for taking pity on this five year old. ]

Hey.... Hey!

[ Izuminokami excitedly grips Kashuu's shoulder and points ahead to the particular sign with the frozen treats. ]

They do have it!
sharplydressed: (i've been on the way for so long)

[THERE HE IS... THE FIVE YEAR OLD AT WORK. Kashuu looks over toward where Kanesada is pointing, grinning a little.]

Lu~cky! Ooh, they really have a lot of flavors too, huh? --Hey! [POINTS.] A rainbow one!

[Made of different layers of fruits!!]

You know, a wise choice for us would be to choose these instead.

[ Because they could each hold a lot more of these fruity popsicles than they could ice cream... ]
sharplydressed: (captains gonna captain)

[CAN'T BELIEVE THAT'S THE LOGIC HERE... Like he's not wrong but Kanesan...]

Yeah? They do look really refreshing... Popsicles are probably better for you than ice cream anyway. You sure you don't wanna get anything else, though?

[personal profile] morewarriorlike 2019-10-11 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ But think of how many popsicles they could eat!!! ]

Hmm...

[ He frowned thoughtfully with his hand on his hip as he looked around. Would there be anything else they might want? Since it was a trip to spoil themselves and most likely hasebe's money it wouldn't hurt to make the most of it, right? ]

[Yeah honestly what good is a trip if they don't make Hasebe cry over the state of his wallet afterward??]

Those slushie things look pretty good, yeah? Ooh, and the snowcones are cute!

Hey... they're designed like a rainbow as well. I'm beginning to think colors and icecream are meant to go together.
sharplydressed: (i'll keep myself cute)

[personal profile] sharplydressed 2019-12-11 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
You know what that means, yeah? You can't split up stuff that's supposed to go together.

[IE "take any excuse to just spend all of Hasebe's money and make him faint on the spot".]

Aaaah yes, you are absolutely correct there.

[ Hasebe should have known better than to let anyone be left unattended with his wallet in the first place. If anything, they were teaching him a valuable life lesson. ]
