6 ❀ Summer Citadel
|
[Beach]
What do you mean, smash?
"Smashing the watermelons seems like a waste. Why not cut them cleanly? Even blindfolded, that would not be any trouble for ones such as us. Here, let me have a go."
Hand him that blindfold. If he can touch it with his spear, he will surely cut it!
(Yes, he wants to use a live weapon for this simple game.)
[Suffering]
He is putting on a brave face, but the fact is that the inner reaches of Mikawa were far cooler than this. He's just... not used to this heat-!
Still, Tonbokiri sees you suffering as well, and comes closer to fan you with powerful strokes and offer a wan but sympathetic smile.
"Sometimes these bodies are a little difficult to take care of, aren't they?"
[Rain]
There was a whole five raindrops of warning, splashing into the dust of the stable's courtyard that he is sweeping, before the downpour started.
Even as his mouth drops open in surprise, Tonbokiri hurries back inside the shelter of the stable. Too late, unfortunately. He is thoroughly soaked through.
"Uwa... what a mess." He brings his long ponytail over his shoulder and wrings it out, amazed at just how much water had come down on him so quickly. "I suppose taking you outside will have to wait, Mikuniguro," he comments over his shoulder to the horse as he glances outside. Those are some dark clouds. It doesn't look like it'll let up any time soon. He hopes that those out on field duty are all right...

[Sanjous are known for one thing in terms of clothing, an that is layers. Layers upon layers of heavy, shiny silk, which looks absolutely great most of the time... but of course, when the heat gets to be this intense, it's safe to say that it's probably not the best attired to be wearing, especially when your underlayer is freaking leather!
So here is Mikazuki Munechika, Tenka Goken, sitting on the engawa trying to catch even a little breeze and slowly melting under his clothing. Please save him before he gets heatstroke and faints.]
[Rain]
[The rain has cooled things down a little, but it's made the whole atmosphere very stuffy.... and it's not stopping, which is annoying.
One needs to stay occupied since fieldwork is a definite no, sorties are mostly on hold and nothing much is happening. So Mikazuki took out some paper and brushes.]
Why don't you come write poetry with me?

[Gokotai is trying to shield himself under a big hat, and trying to herdcats tigers, because they want to go next to the sea, but the waves send them running everywhere while squeaking.
There are some tubes here and inflatable mattresses.. maybe he could take them out on one. But the mattress is very big, and he is just a small tantou, and as soon as he tries taking it, a gust of wind blows and he is almost carried away!]
Aaaaaaaah!
[Suffering]
[The tigers are having a hard time... Gokotai has been giving them water, and right now he is trying to fan them while slowly melting himself.]
Why is it so hot.... Can tigers have ice cream? I wonder if a little bit could be okay.
[Spooks]
... Uwaaaaaah!
[Normally, most people try not to have Gokotai be taken up int he kind of jump scare fun times, because he gets scared easily. So how did he end in the forest behind the Citadel, wearing only a thin yukata and clutching his tantou blade.]
Ugh... A-Aruji-samaaaaa....

[Satori is not originally from Kyoto, but she's been living here in her Citadel for about ten years now. She's used to how humid and stuffy it gets starting from early June and all the way to the end of August. That does mean she doesn't complain about it as bitterly as most of her swords.
She threw off her yukata to wear only shorts and a tank top and is fanning herself while sipping a cold beer and keeping an eye on everyone... when will Konnosuke get the AC running again? They could have tried sleeping outside but this is Kyoto and the mosquitoes make that impossible. But maybe....]
We should probably just all sleep in the main hall on the tatami rather than in our small rooms. Fuck, why is it so hot this year?
[Spooks]
[Swords are free to have their fun of course, but at night, Satori sleeps. So when she stumbles on swords doing god knows what while on her way to the bathroom in the middle of the night, she just stops dead for a second.]
.... What are you all doing in the corridor?
[Wildcard]
[Any sword or Saniwa welcome!]

[Ichigo is on the sidelines of the test of courage helping to monitor everyone’s progress, especially his brothers’, and to make sure no one goes the wrong way.
He spots Gokotai. Part of him is very proud that Gokotai has decided to face his fears and take part, at least, he thinks Gokotai made the decision to do so himself?The other part of him is so so so worried and he just want to run out there and scoop the little tiger tantou in his arms and tell him everything will be all right. But no, he must control himself and not be overprotective. This will help Gokotai grow stronger and braver. This is good for Gokotai, or so Ichigo tells himself. How long he will be able to remain on the sidelines without interfering is anyone’s guess, but it probably won’t be long...]

[Ichigo is walking by with a basket of fresh laundry when he spots Mikazuki sitting there alone. He stops to watch him for a while from a distance, feeling this deep sense of melancholy mixed with longing that he can’t quite comprehend.
Ichigo has only recently arrived at the citadel, so he’s yet to actually approach Mikazuki. He thinks about it but then hesitates, suddenly feeling shy. Maybe he’ll do it some other time, however, he now notices that Mikazuki seems to be dressed very inappropriately for this sweltering heat. That can’t be good! Now he’s extremely worried if he’s all right.
After some internal debate, Ichigo sets the laundry basket down and walks over, trying to stay composed.]
Mikazuki-dono?
((Ahhhh!! A Mikazuki! T^T I’ve been looking for one for so long. Is MikaIchi okay with you?))

And here comes that trademark laugh from somewhere behind them.
“It seems like the perfect time to undress and splash about in the rain.” Already, the livelier members of the citadel have ventured outside, whooping and hollering and probably making a great big mess and he’s not going to be left out, dammit!
He gives the rump of the horse an affectionate pat, before moving to unfasten those pathetically few pieces of armor he’s got on.

Beach
[The sun has just set so it’s sparkler time~! Ichigo has bought lots and lots of them to make sure all his brothers get to play and won’t have to fight or argue. He’s got plenty of spares for anyone else who wants to play too.]
Would you like to try one?
Suffering
[Ichigo has found a kakigori machine in the kitchen and wants to surprise his brothers with it. He’s now trying to gather as much ice as he can and looking around for anything he can use to flavour the ice. He’ll also be more than happy to share the machine with anyone who wants some kakigori to combat the smouldering heat!]
Rain
[Ichigo is rather contemplative today. Here he stands on the engawa, looking out silently at the rain and the hydrangeas that are now in full bloom, deep in thought.]
Other!
[Today, Ichigo finds himself all alone as all his brothers are out doing various things. It’s nice to have a day to himself once in a while! After tidying up the room a bit, Ichigo opens the doors and windows wide in an attempt to let in some breeze. He’s also managed to secure an electric fan, so he’s quite comfortable as he settles down to do a bit of reading. In the background, there’s the sound of wind chimes gently tinkling in the breeze. Their soft melody soon makes Ichigo sleepy and so if anyone is to walk past the Awataguchi room, they’ll find him curled up on the tatami fast asleep.]

Undressing, of course.
[ He follows that painfully matter-of-fact statement with his trademark laugh, which rings hollow in the eerie silence of the hallways. ]
Someone has to go out and welcome our visitors tonight.
[ UM??? ]

[ Beach ]
[ The last time everyone wanted to go out to the beach, Shokudaikiri ended up staying home so he could help around the citadel with any chores that needed to get done. He didn't mind missing out, but it seems this time around he was encouraged to come out, perhaps to watch the little ones, or maybe because he's been doing too much...
Shokudaikiri was sitting under one of the big umbrella's with a towel underneath just enjoying the fresh air. There were a couple big coolers next to his shady spot too, with snacks and drinks to share with everyone else. ]
[ Suffering ]
[ Guess who has been trying to help fight off the heat with homemade ice cream treats? This guy.
Wandering around the citadel with ice cream cones, he starts passing them out to everyone he comes across, wanting to do his part in a cool way. (haha) Though, all this running around wasn't exactly making him any cooler himself. He almost looked a little too hot as he wandered about. ]
Would you like some?
[ With a strained smile. ]

[ Did someone say poetry??? ]
[ Walking down the hallways, Izuminokami was bored out of his mind. Rainy days always made him feel tired when he wasn't on any kind of missions, and with everything still being too muddy and stuffy, he really couldn't do anything else. (Not that he'd want to go out and do fieldwork but shhh)
He was hardly paying anything any mind until he heard Mikazuki's voice speak up causing him to startle a little. ]
Me?
[ He could never really understand Mikazuki, no matter how hard he tried to, he just never made any sense, but... poetry? That was something he definitely could! With a huff and a grin, he immediately sits on the floor, keeping a little bit of distance between the two of them. ]
I'll have you know that my poetry is as impressive as I am.

This was exactly why Tonbokiri was such a good comrade to have. Even in his own suffering of this heat, he was still kind enough to share in his own strength for a little bit of a breeze, and Izuminokami gratefully accepted it.
Leaning backwards on his hands he let out a loud groan, soaking in the breeze for that moment of enjoyment. Maybe if he did something with his hair, things wouldn't feel quite so bad, but... he really just didn't want to do anything right now.
"They can be good for a long of things, but weather is not one of them."
And with that he just lets his body fall down the rest of the way at Tonbokiri's feet.

.... What visitors?
[Who is coming into her Citadel at this time of night anyway.... and then the rest of what he said suddenly catches up with her and she... throws a kick at him.
Of course he's massive, so she mostly hurts her foot and ends up hopping on the other while gasping, but she's still glaring at him in the dark.]
Don't you fucking dare. It's enough that I have tantou running around with sheets over their heads. If I see even a hint of your bare ass, you're mucking the stables for three months.

[Did he decide to, or did one of his brothers or someone else drag him here? Every time there's a noise, he jumps, holding the blade tighter.
And now there are actual tears pooling in his eyes. Even his tigers are nowhere to be found, and he can't see anyone and the lights of the Citadel are so far they're not visible anymore.]
Ugh... I-is there some here? P-please...

Oya, Ichigo Hitofuri!
[Mikazuki is still smiling, but he's... yes, he's definitely sweating quiet a lot in all of those layers. He's managed to find a fan, but it's not doing much to help, to be honest. He might be starting to feel a little faint... it's hard to tell since he's usually so pale.]
... Did you need something? Have I skipped some whores again, hahahahaha?
((Jiji is my bicycle, so absolutely!))

Oya, I am sure it is, Izuminokami Kanesada.
[Mikazuki is already pushing some paper and a brush and ink towards him.]
Ah, but you would be more familiar with haiku, would you not? I am afraid that is not quite my favorite form. I am not very familiar with it. Maybe we should simply each write in our preferred style?
[Have you ever read any Heian Waka, Izuminokami? If you haven't, you should get ready for how thirsty the double entendre can be, because those get very lewd, very fast.]

Hmm? I suppose I can agree with those conditions to keep it fair for both of us.
[ Because of course he would want to make a competition out of this, but he was an honorable man and wanted to win this self proclaimed battle of poetry with an even playing field.
With the paper and ink in front of him, he gives a grin and begins writing right away, a flicker of excitement in his eyes. ]

[ BEACH ]
[ While everyone else seems to be running around, splashing in the ocean, Izuminokami is having his own bit of fun, and by that I mean he's lazing about underneath one of those big colorful umbrellas. His hair was pulled up into a high ponytail with his arms behind his head and sunglasses on his face.
He was completely unguarded from any sort of beach-y attack that anyone might want to do. ]
[ SPOOKS]
[ Night time had proved to be a lot kinder to them instead of the day full of heat and mugginess. The air was a bit cooler and everyone seemed to be in much better spirits. Even Izuminokami who had been hiding with one of the few fans all day had come out to join in the fun.
He heard something about a test of courage, and who was more courageous than him? So of course he came out to the group of other swords with a grin on his face. ]
It's okay, you needn't fight fight over being my partner.
[ RAIN ]
siiiiiiiigh
[ What happened to all the bright sunny days? It's been raining for what seemed like three days straight now and it was really starting to get to him. No one was being sent out on missions, most duties were impossible to do, and even he had to admit that there was only so much training in the dojo one could do before it just got tiring.
So what was he doing? Lying under the roof outside with his arm dangling over the edge. ]
Will it ever stop?

[ He had just gotten back from doing a few errands for their master, and already he felt the heat zooming in on him and his black suit. It was nice to get away from the citadel for a bit where he could ignore how stuffy and muggy it was, but now that he was back well...
Slipping off his jacket, he rolls up his sleeves and uses an arm to hang his jacket from. That's when he noticed Mikazuki sitting by himself... in all of those layers. Oh no...
He was the only one on kitchen duty today, and someone was kind enough to leave one of the fans in there for him, but he couldn't in good conscious hold onto it when Mikazuki looked so hot. The soft sound of foot steps walking past Mikazuki a few times before finally there was a sound of a click and suddenly Mikazuki would feel a bit more of a breeze against his back. ]

[Whoever dragged Gokotai into this and abandoned him here will have to face Ichigo's wrath later!
For now, he follows close behind Gokotai, trying his best not to give in to his urge to just rush out and save him. But then he accidentally steps on a twig and it snaps loudly...]

[Ichigo's breath catches for a moment. Mikazaki looks so much more beautiful up close than the faraway glances he's managed to catch of him so far. No, now isn't the time to think of that. He frowns slightly as he examines the other more closely, he can just sense that something isn't quite right. He kneels down beside him, looking over with great concern.]
Mikazuki-dono, are you feeling all right? You're sweating a lot. Maybe you should go inside.
Mikazuki-dono, are you feeling all right? You're sweating a lot. Maybe you should go inside.
[ He shrugs, completely unfazed by the kick and the general attitude in general. As long as he’s confident of his master’s love, he hardly cares if he ticks her off from time to time.
…But he also doesn’t want to be stuck on stable duty for three months straight, so he merely sighs, shaking his head as he straightens his clothes accordingly. ]
Who knows? [ —in response to her more pertinent question. ] Nikkari said he saw something earlier. Several somethings. To come upon us so suddenly like this…huhuhuhu, don’t you find it exciting, Master?

[ Yagen gives him the most deadpan look, though it’s partially obstructed by that ominous sheen to his glasses. Because yes, he’s indeed clad in his lab coat, for reasons Izuminokami might not want to hear about on such a spooky night.
He merely turns to that spooky thicket which marks the starting point of the test of courage course. ]
Are you sure you can handle it, Izuminokami? I just saw Nagasone come out of there in tears earlier.

Don’t…they’ll only get sick…
[ Forgive him if he’s not being super articulate lately. It’s so hot that he’s actually taken his lab coat off and rolled up his sleeves as he lies sprawled next to Gokotai on the engawa, looking as if he’s ready to ascend to that great big smithy in the sky. ]

[ Ichi-nii!! Can’t you see that he’s hard at work handing out towels and treating sunburns and slipping starfish down unsuspecting adults’ backs and totally not shooting the occasional glances at the sparklers or anything?
The offer totally catches him by surprise, and he flushes, pursing his lips as he looks down. ]
Ichi-nii…I’m not a kid anymore.
