7 ❀ Assignments
| 1. Internal Affairs Perhaps the most mundane of assignments but someone has to help keep this citadel running, right? There are hoses to be fed, fields to be weeded, and don't forget the other odd duties here and there. With this many spirits inone citadel, someone has to help make sure everyone has dinner and the laundry is done! Hopefully you have a good partner helping you today but as some might know, sometimes the bigger question isn't who they are but where they are... Someone has to do the dirty work! So where are you?! 2. Expeditions Not everything is about fighting. Sometimes there are assignments to gather intel or help clean up after another squad. There are small things that can be done to make sure history follows its course and some fo those things include feeding the hungry after a disaster or just making sure the right people meet after their paths were thrown off. Expeditions are perfect for the new addition that needs to be eased into missions before being sent to the frontline. 3. Frontlines - Before Whether you're ready or not, it's time to go out to the frontlines. There's a big mission everyone needs to do and history is wildly off course. A squad is gathered up and sent to a difficult time and a battle is inevitable. Is this moment painful for you? Well, such is the nature of a touken danshi, right? Don't get too close to "That Person" and don't get any funny ideas. ... Also, where's [insert name of problematic sword boy that was assigned on this mission for some god unknown reason]? Or maybe it's been 20 years and you're still on this mission! Sometimes missions last longer than a few days or weeks. They can drag on for months and those months sometimes become years. How have you been keeping your cover and making a living in this era? Remember, don't stand out or cause too much trouble. Are you homesick? When was the last time you saw the saniwa or your friends back home? Will this mission ever end?! 4. Frontlines - Battle Finally, it's time to fight! Everything you've done has prepared you for this moment and it's time to resolve it once and for all. Did you gather enough information to prepare for all of these enemies? You didn't get any funny ideas that might put you on the wrong side of this assignment, did you? Regardless of what happens, it would appears that [That Person You Keep Losing] has finally decided to show up when you needed them the most so at least you don't have to worry about that anymore. 5. Frontlines - After The battle is finally over and it's time to go back home. Was the mission a success or a total failure? Maybe you're coming back home with a +1 in your party. Regardless, it's time to get yourself checked out now. You've worked hard and it's time to get those repairs in. Hopefully they aren't too severe! But those with heavier injuries can expect to be down for a few days. Don't worry, there will certainly be plenty of bedside visits. 6. Wildcard This is basically an open post to deal with swords doing miscellaneous assignments whether it's mundane chores or mission based assignments. Feel free to come up with your own prompts for things like "babysitting the problematic sword boy," "have you seen Mikazuki Munechika?," and anything else you can think of. |

“Uguisumaru-dono, what are you talking about?”
no subject
“Or is it that you’re unused to being doted on?” Pat. Pat. “There, there. You really should learn to relax more. A party is really just what you need.”
no subject
"Me?"
It feels a little strange to hear Uguisumaru talking about him 'growing to be so responsible' like he's talking about a child, since he was already all grown up when they first met. Though he was rather child-like when he first awoke again at the Imperial Collection after his retempering. He was very much a blank slate during those first few years as he dealt with his amnesia with the help of his fellow Imperial Treasures... It feels so long ago now though, and his memory of that time is a little hazy.
"Well, it does feel a little strange to be the one being doted on..." He rests his head back on Uguisumaru's shoulder as he's given more headpats. "... but it does feel rather nice." And he let himself relax a little more.
no subject
“Doesn’t it? Usually, it’s the youngsters who have to take care of their elders, but I’ll make an exception for you, since you’re being so cute right now,” Uguisumaru prattles on cheerfully, oblivious to Ichigo’s own confusion. Age might still just be a number for their lot, but that doesn’t mean that Uguisumaru hasn’t picked up a few human habits or two.
And the humans know what they’re about. For a sword, after all, a human hand is such a vital thing. Indeed, it is perhaps the first and the only kind touch their like has received in their lifetimes.
And Ichigo…might not have remembered the moment when he’d first been held by human hands.
“And it’s good to be cherished every once in a while, isn’t it?”
no subject
In any case, Ichigo is often stuck in the caregiver role... first, with his brothers then with those two grandpas he loves dearly.
Hearing that he’s the exception does make him feel quite embarrassed, and he’s not quite sure how to respond to that.
“.... oh, er, thank you for making an exception for me, Uguisumaru-dono.”
And he doesn’t remember the first time he was held by a human, but he can vaguely remember the loving way his late master handled him.
“... yes, it is. It is... a very enjoyable thing.”
How he misses being his master’s favourite.
no subject
Or, they could go on all night…these humans have more stamina than they give them credit for.
“When we’re through with all this, you can come see me any time on the veranda.”
no subject
He can’t really promise anything. He feels perfectly comfortable leaning against Uguisumaru now as they sway to the music and he doesn’t really want to leave.
“That sounds like a good idea. I look forward to that.”
no subject
And in some ways, Uguisumaru might just be a little too good at figuring out other people’s weaknesses. But hey, he’s gotten Ichigo to relax! That’s the most important thing. This is a vaca—mission, after all!
They’ll be fine. Probably.
“Would you like another dance?”
no subject
"... this is very relaxing."
Are they on a mission? Ichigo seems to have forgotten about that for now...
"I would like that very much."
no subject
“How about we dance all the way over there?” he remarks, nodding in the direction of some shadowy secluded corner as the music for the next dance picks up. After all, Ichigo looks like he’s in dire need of some…privacy.
no subject
Ichigo looks up to see where Uguisumaru wants to go, and he doesn’t see anything wrong with the suggestion. In fact, it seems like a rather good one. That looks like such a nice cosy spot.
“Sure.” And he’ll let the older sword lead him there.
no subject
“This way, we can even dance all night.”
Well, so much for their mission that isn’t anymore.
no subject
He is beginning to feel a little sleepy though as he’s so relaxed now and the gentle swaying isn’t helping!
no subject
no subject
no subject
Well, he’ll own up to his own faults later. It’s not like their target is around here, anyway.
no subject
"We-We need to get back right now!"
Because this mission has certainly failed...
