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. |

Aha, well, I don’t think it bears repeating.
[ Even if there aren’t any witnesses right now. ]
But it’s nice to see the youth of today take such an interest in the fine arts. Even if they can’t…hmm, understand everything just yet.
no subject
[Oh dear. Is Ichigo Hitofuri going to come knocking, incensed and demanding answers? If this gets back to him...]
Now here could they have gotten their hands on something like this? My books are usually in my room.
[Would the tantou risk rummaging through his room? .... Well maybe some of them would.]

Privacy is a bit difficult now that the Citadel is getting so crowded.
[ He chuckles. ]
It seems that a new sword is being forged every week.
no subject
[Mikazuki is far from being stuck-up, but his status as a Tenka Goken does awe quite a few people.]
We are getting quite a lot of new people in. But we do have the resources, Aruji is careful with that.
So it's fine if the old ones like us rest a little.
no subject
I think you’ve let your guard down a little too much, Mikazuki, if things like your books end up where they’re not supposed to be.
[ He knows his tea-drinking bum ass should be the last person to even say as much, but here we are. ]
no subject
[he takes another sip of his tea.]
Have you read some of them? You are old enough to have seen a few of those in your time, are you not?
no subject
You’re right, of course. The Ashikaga shoguns were also inclined to poetry. Now, then…
[ He cocks his head to the side, regarding Mikazuki with a mischievous twinkle in his eye. ]
Shall I give you my critique?
no subject
[After all, you are the one least likely to have been flustered by those if you chanced upon them.
And you probably understood the double entendres better than most.]
no subject
[ He taps at his chin, as if thinking this over carefully— ]
Your juxtaposition of imagery combined with your eye for seasonal ambience is a mark of true genius, but…
[ He chuckles. ]
Really, I just think you’re being too modest. Even if you might have done it so the youngsters couldn’t fully understand…I think you should allow yourself to speak more freely.
[ In other words: it’s not lewd enough. ]
no subject
[And yes, hopefully, the younguns haven't found the lewdest ones. Because to tell the truth...]
I do try to adapt to the audience those are written for. I have others.... although I don't know that I would dare to have your esteemed opinion on the other ones I have written, umu.
no subject
[ And he’s not a monster about it like Kasen is. Bonus!!! ]
But now you’ve made me curious. What sort of poetry could you tailor to someone like me?
[ And would you be making yourself an even bigger target for Ookanehira, if so… ]
no subject
[He'll tap his chin in reflection for a moment.]
Maybe not by best work, but on the spot, I hope it will find grave in your eyes.
I go back and forth
Within the skies
Constantly, for
From the mountain where I make my home
The wind blows too harsh and strong.
no subject
I don’t think the wind is blowing harshly enough.
[ And they both know who that refers to. ]
After all, the mountain still sits, unmoving, but ever reaching up to the sky.
