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.

...

[He blinks at that, confused and surprised.]

... what do you mean by that, Mitsutada?
candlestickslayer: All made by this account unless stated otherwise. (pic#13415319)

[personal profile] candlestickslayer 2020-01-03 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
It reminded me of a time when I was much smaller, that's all...
oncealifetime: (that doesn't make sense...)

[personal profile] oncealifetime 2020-01-03 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
When you were much smaller...?

[Well, they are about the same age, aren’t they? Could he have known Mitsutada when he was little? Is that what Mitsutada is hinting at...? It’s possible, isn’t it?]

Mitsutada... we... did we know each other when we were much smaller...?
candlestickslayer: (pic#13538144)

[personal profile] candlestickslayer 2020-01-03 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... yes.

[ He gives a softer smile in his direction. ]

We spent a lot of time together when we were smaller.
oncealifetime: (eh where are we going...?)

[personal profile] oncealifetime 2020-01-05 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ichigo is speechless for a long while as he just looks at Mitsutada in surprise, but it is a good sort of surprise. He feels a sudden rush of nostalgic warmth in his heart even though he still can’t remember what the other sword is saying...]

We did...? So we... we were childhood friends...?
candlestickslayer: (pic#13538136)

[personal profile] candlestickslayer 2020-01-06 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
We were, yes... Perhaps that's why we feel so close and connected right now. Even if you might not remember, maybe a part of you still does.

[ He paused a little. ]

Or you just like who I grew up to be.

[ He laughs a little, moving to wash some more laundry.]
oncealifetime: (pls forget I said that)

[personal profile] oncealifetime 2020-01-06 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I...

[And now he feels a little guilty.]

I...

[He moves over to hug him from behind, hiding his face against Mitsutada’s back.]

I’m sorry for not remembering, Mitsutada... I do feel very close and connected to you and... I really like you just as you are now...
candlestickslayer: (pic#13538114)

[personal profile] candlestickslayer 2020-01-07 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ His hands move to rest over the top of Ichigo's, letting his fingers thread with his a little. There was a warm smile on his face from the hug, but he did feel a little guilty. ]

Perhaps I should have told you sooner. I just didn't want you to feel bad. You aren't at fault for your memories, Ichigo... And it's been fun being able to make friends with you again.
oncealifetime: (pls forget I said that)

[personal profile] oncealifetime 2020-01-08 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ichigo gladly threads their fingers together completely as he hugs him tighter.]

Mitsutada.... [Well, he can understand his rationale and what he’s saying is true but...] ... it’s been fun too and I guess I know now why... I’m so fond of you and why you are so important to me.
candlestickslayer: (pic#13538144)

[personal profile] candlestickslayer 2020-01-16 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He smiles and leans a little more into this hug. It felt so nice to be held like that, though he was a little disappointed he couldn't see Ichigo's face right now to tease him a little. ]

'Mitsunii Mitsunii' You used to call me that when you wanted to play.
oncealifetime: (bluuuuuusssssh)

[personal profile] oncealifetime 2020-01-18 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ichigo pulls away a bit at that, his cheeks pink with embarrassment, and he moves so that he can glance up at Mitsutada.]

I-I did...?
candlestickslayer: (pic#13538114)

[personal profile] candlestickslayer 2020-01-28 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
It was nice. I didn't have many around my age to play with, so I was happy to be your Nii-san.
oncealifetime: (mouuu yamete)

[personal profile] oncealifetime 2020-01-28 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[He studies Mitsutada for a moment, before hiding against him and whispering...]

May I... call you ‘Mitsu-nii’ again... like back then?
candlestickslayer: (pic#13538144)

[personal profile] candlestickslayer 2020-01-28 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He feels himself melting a little inside. Hearing Ichigo ask him that was... so cute. He probably wouldn't like to hear that out loud though so he keeps it to himself. ]

Yes... of course you can.
oncealifetime: (Default)

[personal profile] oncealifetime 2020-01-29 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ichigo feels an almost nostalgic warmth flow over him as he pauses for a moment before looking up at Mitsutada with a shy little smile as he calls him...]

... Mitsu-nii.
candlestickslayer: (pic#13538114)

[personal profile] candlestickslayer 2020-02-04 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ His cheeks flush a little. It was more embarrassing than he thought it'd be, but at the same time he really liked it too. Hearing Ichigo call out to him... ]

How does it feel?
oncealifetime: (pls forget I said that)

[personal profile] oncealifetime 2020-02-05 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ichigo looks away shyly, but still with a little smile on his face.]

I... like it a lot. Are you sure I can call you this... even in front of other people?
candlestickslayer: (pic#13538144)

[personal profile] candlestickslayer 2020-02-14 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
I would be honored if you did.
oncealifetime: (smile from the heart)

[personal profile] oncealifetime 2020-02-16 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[And Mitsutada is rewarded with a bright smile~!]

You would? I’ll call you that from now on then, Mitsu-nii~!

[Then he glances down at the abandoned laundry that they’ve only managed to get halfway through.]

Ah! We still have so much to do! It’s time to get back to work, Mitsu-nii!
candlestickslayer: (pic#13415426)

[personal profile] candlestickslayer 2020-02-19 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He laughed softly at that, the surprise on Ichigo's face was so precious. It was so nice to be doing something so simple with him. Like they could just relax and be themselves.

Mitsutada was grateful for this... and grateful that Ichigo even wished to treasure their bond together... he'd do all the laundry in the world if it meant having moments like these.
]
oncealifetime: (a royal smile)

[personal profile] oncealifetime 2020-02-22 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ichigo lets go of him, quite reluctantly, to return to his chores at hand. He does move to sit a little closer to Mitsutada though as he works.]

We probably need a bath after this...

[Since they are wet from their little water fight and there’s nothing wrong with bathing with his best friend/‘big brother’, right?]
candlestickslayer: (pic#13538135)

[personal profile] candlestickslayer 2020-02-25 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I think you're right about that. I think we might have gotten more wet than some of these clothes.

[ He laughs a bit, feeling his face heat up just a little. ]
oncealifetime: (a royal smile)

[personal profile] oncealifetime 2020-02-27 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ichigo laughs as well as he glances down at his drenched clothes.]

That’s true!

[And that’s when he sneezes!]
candlestickslayer: (pic#13415324)

[personal profile] candlestickslayer 2020-03-05 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
A-ah.... I think that's a sign that means we should really start getting you back to the citadel. I'd hate for you to get sick.
oncealifetime: (eh where are we going...?)

[personal profile] oncealifetime 2020-03-23 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
... but I feel fine and the laundry isn’t done yet...

[But Mitsutada looks so worried and concerned, so he eventually nods with a little smile.]

Yes, we should at least go dry up.

[The laundry can wait.]

Let’s go then.
