0 ❀ INTRODUCTION + FALL MEME
0 ❀ FIRST MONTH / FALL MEME  |
1. HOME SWEET… HOME? Born from the flame and given life by a saniwa sage, you come into the world with your self introduction all ready to go. When it's all said and done, you finally take a look at your surroundings and… did someone actually summon you or did you wake up in an abandoned warehouse? This citadel is completely run down and in desperate need of some TLC… and help getting together. Did the saniwa actually summon you to help clean house?! Clean the floors, fix the shoji, exercise the spirits that have gotten a little too comfortable in the run down citadel, and find out which loser is going to have to clean the baths. 2. GRAND TOUR A new sword has arrived at the citadel. Are you getting the citadel ready for them? With enough swords in the citadel, it might be hard to figure out which room to fit their bed in. Or maybe you're the new arrival being greeted and touring your new home… it looks kind of run down, doesn't it? Or maybe you've come a little later in the month when things are mostly up and running. Anyway, happy birthday and everything so go make friends. Say hello! 3. LIMITED SUPPLIES It's hard starting off as a new sword army. You never seem to have enough resources and I'm not talking about coolant (though, forging all of those swords to help set up the citadel wasn't pretty costly). Fall is ending and winter is coming and that supply of blankets, heaters, and winter clothes hasn't come in yet. It's cold outside and you may have fixed it up but this citadel still isn't insulated. But hey, at least there's plenty of food… right?! 4. HOW MUCH BLOOD DO I REALLY NEED? You're human now! Isn't that exciting? These new bodies come with a lot of responsibilities so you better learn how to take care of yourselves. Remember to eat when you're hungry, rest when you're tired, and drink when you're thirsty. Also, if something hurts then that probably means you should stop. Test your limits, learn new feelings, and try not to die. 5. THE FUTURE IS HERE It's been awhile since you guys were last out and about, right? There's a lot of catching up to do with history and technology. Did you know man can fly? And they've even flown all the way to the moon? No? Well, maybe you'll have better luck learning how things work around here. The technology is pretty out dated by the saniwa's standards (seriously, who still has landlines?) but that electric rice cooker is pretty high tech for the average sword! Maybe you're a fast learner, maybe you were around when the saniwa was able to teach you how to function in the kitchen, or maybe you're trying to figure out how many swords it takes to change a lightbulb. 6. PEST CONTROL The citadel was left alone for a long time before we showed up. Some of the spirits in the surrounding woods had gotten comfortable here. Most of them are pretty harmless nature spirits and have timidly retreated back into the forest but there are some more troublesome ones sneaking around. They're two-bit, lowlife spirits that tend to keep to the shadows or skulk right outside the citadel's perimeter but you should probably take care of them before they really start to cause trouble. You wouldn't want the spirit of that dirty cotton ball you found in storage to smother you in your sleep, right? 7. AUTUMN ASSIGNMENTS You've been on a few sorties and expeditions by now and with fixing up the citadel, it probably feels like you've been doing chores every day but there are also other things to do this month before the season ends. Next to the assignment board is a piece of paper tacked on the wall with a few extra assignments for all of you to try out. B. MOON VIEWING. We may have missed the actual day of the autumn moon... but autumn isn't over and the moon isn't going away anytime soon. The saniwa has brought some assorted snacks from the town and you can buy more at the general store. Stay up late after a hard day of work and watch the moon from the citadel's garden. Some say curious things happen when you watch the moon. C. AUTUMN COLORS. Even though we missed the equinox, we're just in time to see the fall colors at their peak. The forest around the citadel is an autumnal rainbow. Relax under the falling leaves or collect a huge pile and watch someone jump into it. The air is crisp and clear but you can smell something smokey as someone grills/roasts traditional food on a small fire. Stuff yourself with fish, chestnuts, sweet potato, mushrooms, and more. You could even eat up some of those left over sweets from the late moon viewing. D. 8. PICK YOUR OWN ADVENTURE. You know what to do. |
  This is our first catch-all open post! I'm combining the first month with the fall catch-all. |
3!!
Oh, Sada-chan! You shouldn't walk around here without a few extra layers since it's getting cold. [And just as a precaution, he'll set down those pieces of wood for a brief moment before unzipping his own tracksuit jacket to hand to the tantou. Yes. Mitsutada will be fine without it, and it'd be super uncool if he made Sadamune suffer the cold alone.]
It's not cool to get sick, you know. Make sure you're dressed properly as the temperature drops, and eat lots of my delicious cooking so you can be strong and healthy for the fall.
[Now, with that out of the way, he'll go ahead and pick up that wood again.]
Say, why don't you come with me to the furnace? You'll be able to warm up faster if you're near the heat...!
sparkles
Wahh, Micchan's cooking is the best. You should let me help next time too!
[ because he can cook delicious things too! They can make something extra delicious? They'd be the best cooks in the citadel, honestly. No one can compare to their duo. ]
Maybe we should make some soup, it's cold... Soup is good, yeah?
[ Hmm... Soup. Yes, good idea. Now, with a human body, he feels hunger so naturally he has an appetite now; one that craves warm soup in the cold fall weather, especially.
Oh! Micchan said something else, and Sadamune immediately perks up. ]
Oh, oh! Is that what the wood is for? Let me help!
POSES
[Shimmers! Human bodies sure are weird things, but Mitsutada managed to get the hang of understanding its functions rather quickly. He'd be especially happy to let Sadamunue cook with him, and he can totally teach the other all of his super awesome techniques?]
Ah, then help me carry some of this wood. The furnace isn't too far off, so follow me. [With a smile, he'll lean down so Sadamune and gather up however many pieces he can hold before heading off down the corridor.
It's located in a small room, a somewhat rusty metal box...cage thing sitting in the back with multiple pipes leading to different places in the citadel
how to describe furnace???.]Oh, be careful, Sada-chan. There's fire inside so don't stand too close to it, okay?
so cool...
[ He hungers for soup.
BUT ANYWAY, he takes as much wood as he can from Micchan and bounds after him to the furnace. Once he sees the furnace, Sadamune's eyes open wide. He looks so excited! ]
Uwoahh, I didn't know we had this over here.
[ He definitely does get extreme close, until Micchan tells him not to. ]
Oh, sorry sorry! It's really warm though... What do we do with the wood, Micchan?
the coolest...
IN THE MEANTIME...]
I guess we just chuck it into the fire. [First, he's gotta open up the window so they can do just that. Of course, it's okay for Mitsutada to be standing so close to the furnace because he's a Big Sword and can handle it, though.]
Here, why don't you try it first? I'll hold the door open for you.
[Yes... some bonding experience with Sada-chan.]
When we're done here, let's go and prepare some soup. Ah, we should also find a warmer coat for you too, so you're not freezing cold all day.
