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. |
no subject
Settling gently beside her on the bed, he gets an arm behind her around her shoulders to lift her up into enough of a sitting position to drink. Carefully moving aside the mask, he puts the glass to her lips. By the light grip she'd given his hand, she'd best not even take the glass herself right now.
It worries him deeply to see her like this. But she is alive and will recover, and that will be enough for now.

"Would you like some more?"
And as he tends to her (whether by giving her more water or settling her back down) he informs her, "The others will be here any time now. Because of... how your wound happened, there will always be someone at your side. So please rest assured."
Even though she'd volunteered to run into the burning house, that did not mean that she was more resistant to her history coming back to pain her. Being by her side was the least any of them could do for her.
no subject
Ichigo, in her current state, can’t quite get why she’ll need to constantly have someone by her side but she doesn’t mind having company, so she attempts a weak smile and nods. She also feels rather tired now and wants to lie back down, so she tries moving back down.
no subject
"I'll get you something good to eat then. I did promise you strawberries to soothe your throat... perhaps you didn't hear me at that time though."
Once she finishes drinking he sets the glass down, and in that moment there is a soft knock on the door, followed by Mikazuki, Yagen, and a long trail of Ichigo's siblings. Acknowledging them, he helps Ichigo settle back down on the bed.
"She is hungry, so I'll return to deliver something here shortly." He gives Ichigo's hand a gentle press. "Rest well and I'll see you later."
And with that he'll let the others take over, and busy himself with finding something suitable for Ichigo to eat. At Shokudaikiri's suggestion, he delivers a rice porridge with strawberries and a touch of cream. They both hope she likes it.
Get well soon, Ichigo.
no subject
Like with Tonbokiri, all she can really do right now to communicate is to nod or shake her head, or use simple gestures, or mouth simple words. She soon tires though and Yagen immediately herds their siblings out of the room, letting Ichigo share a brief quiet moment with her beloved before shooing him away as well to let her rest some more.
She will nap while Tonbokiri busies himself with making the porridge.
no subject
It seems that Tonbokiri has been subbed in for the moment.
So Tonbokiri puts the porridge on the side table and shifts the chair so that he can lightly place his hand in Ichigo's. His mind wanders aimlessly as he waits, and he idly wonders if she'd be able to smell the strawberries through the tiny vents in the mask. Perhaps it depends on whether her body needs food or sleep more at the moment.

"That is clear enough, isn't it. Here, I'll help you sit up again. Shokudaikiri suggested a rice porridge with strawberries and a little cream. It's cooled off quite a bit by now, but I'm sure it will still be delicious."
Getting her propped up against some pillows against the wall, he can start to spoon feed her. He carefully doesn't put too much on the spoon, and holds it so near her lips that she barely needs to move to take a mouthful.

He asks her questions, carefully giving her time to respond to each one, "Are you finished? Or would you like more? Or something different? Something to drink?"
no subject
She blushes lightly, trying to figure out how to tell Tonbokiri. Eventually, Ichigo reaches out to take his hand, then she traces the word ‘toilet’ in his palm.
no subject
"Ah, it's just across the hallway of course, but... Ahem. This is a medical matter, and you can trust me to be discreet, Ichigo. Here, let's start with can you walk, or shall I carry you?"
He pulls back the covers from her legs and watches to see if she has the energy to get up on her own.
no subject
Then she glances up and nods at him. She thinks she should be able to walk over with his help.
no subject
Once he ushers her into the small toilet room, he turns his back but leaves the door slightly ajar so he can stick his arm inside.
"If you need to, just hold on to me. If you need my help, tug on my hand."
He hopes that will be enough support.
no subject
It’s so embarrassing to have the door ajar as she really doesn’t want him to... hear the tinkle of fluid against the porcelain as she relieves herself but it is safer to have arm there.
Ichigo quickly does her business, flushes, washes her hands on the little wash basin atop the water closet, then she rests a hand on Tonbokiri’s arm.
“... can go back now...”
no subject
"I'm glad to hear you speak, but you needn't push yourself, Ichigo," he says softly as he takes her hand and walks her back to her bed. Again, it is hard to see this strong blade so weakened, but she will return to full strength soon enough. He knows so.
Once he helps her get settled on the bed again he asks, "Do you still want to eat?"
no subject
She gladly lets him lead her back to her bed. Then she nods and waits to be fed. After which she’ll sleep some more.
This will probably be her life for the next few days, till she regains her strength.
