7 ❀ Assignments

[konnosuke]

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.

Such a good boy! Uguisumaru feels ever so lucky that he got partnered with this one for this little getaway. But speaking of—

“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.

[oncealifetime]

This is not a getaway!! But their mission objective has already become a distant memory... so maybe this is a vacation after all...

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.

[bootea]

“Isn’t this much better?” Uguisumaru remarks once they’ve finally reached that spot—just a secluded little area hidden away by palm trees, and away from the general bustle of the party.

“This way, we can even dance all night.”

Well, so much for their mission that isn’t anymore.

[oncealifetime]

Ichigo nods as he leans against Uguisumaru again. “It is much better...”

He is beginning to feel a little sleepy though as he’s so relaxed now and the gentle swaying isn’t helping!

[bootea]

“And here I thought I was the drunk one,” he says with a soft chuckle. “Rather than dancing…maybe you’d like to lie down instead?”

[oncealifetime]

He just mumbles sleepily, “... so comfortable...” Then he shakes his head a bit. “I can keep dancing...” Sort of.

[bootea]

“Hmm? But I thought we were on a mission,” Uguisumaru chides him playfully, having just remembered that, oh right, this isn’t a vacation.

Well, he’ll own up to his own faults later. It’s not like their target is around here, anyway.

[oncealifetime]

That successfully wakes him up! He immediately straightens up and grabs hold of Uguisumaru's hand.

"We-We need to get back right now!"

Because this mission has certainly failed...

[bootea]

Failed mission or no, Uguisumaru certainly considers this time well-spent. He merely chuckles as Ichigo promptly sobers up and drags him along, and this time he doesn’t resist. It’s a party, after all, and they’ll go wherever the night takes them.
