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. |

[Mutsu spit is not the revenge he signed up for and he has so many regrets. Not even shutting him up is worth this...
And yet, he doesn't move his hand, either?! Sometimes, sacrifices have to be made for the greater good. He'll just disinfect his fingers later so he doesn't get dragon puppy rabies.]
Just gimme the thing!
[THE TABLET, GIVE HIM THE TABLET.]
no subject
Gaaaaaugh!
( Listento dragon puppy roar as he tries to get free. Should he bite Kashuu? Ugh, no, what if he gets Shinsengumi germs?! The feeling is mutual, peanut. He does, however, appear to relent, eventually lowering his arm and shoving the tablet at Kashuu while trying to get him off. )
-ine, `ine!
( FINE! )
Jes gettoffa me before I bite ya!
no subject
And he's also not letting go no matter how slobbery Mutsu gets or for all the dragon puppy roars in the world. He only relents when the tablet is shoved at him, and he grabs it with his gross spitty fingers. Sorry, Hana...]
Thank you.
[ROLLING OFF and sitting on the floor beside Mutsu, so he can--
...
Hm.
Well, the tablet is in his hands now, but he's never used it before. Time to find out just how intuitive this app is because he's sure not about to ask for help.]
no subject
Mutsu will just sort of... chill out on the floor for a bit before he sits up to lean over and see what Kashuu's doing. )
Ya push that button.
( The one on the side to turn it on... and take you to the lock screen. )
no subject
[...But he's hitting the side button anyway, even though he's now at the LOCK SCREEN. At least it says "swipe screen to unlock", but what the heck is swiping the screen?
After a few seconds of heavily hesitating (because looking like an idiot in front of Mutsu is out of the question), he just sort of. Wipes his hand down the screen, looking like an idiot despite his best efforts.]
no subject
Nah , this way.
( Horizontally! And you only need one finger! Look, he's showing how to do it real quickly.
It probably isn't easy for Kashuu to accept help but at least Mutsu seems to be really casual and chill about actually teaching how to use it? He's turbo when it comes to the technology in the future and he does feel special when he's the first one to learn something but it's just as fun helping others catch up with the times. Sure, he can be a little in your face and a bit of a troll about how everyone needs to catch up but when it comes to actually learning how to use something, he's really patient? )
no subject
But hey, it works! The screen is unlocked, taking him - well, probably directly back to the awful picture Mutsu took, damn.]
Ugh-- This isn't gonna be in here forever, is it? Like, if I delete it it'll go away?
no subject
( Now he's just teasing but that smug smile on his face makes it pretty obvious that he isn't being serious. )
I'm kidding, I'm kidding! ( Inb4 Kashuu gets upset and sticks his fingers in his mouth again. Those nails really hurt??? ) Ya just gotta delete it and its gone forever.
( Except new ipads have "recently deleted" folders and Mutsu genuinely doesn't know that yet, oops. )
no subject
Mutsu really saved himself there though since there was a split second where Kashuu probably looked ready to Literally Murder. After the addendum, Kashuu eyes him warily for a second, but seems to accept that he's most likely telling the truth. This part he knows, at least.]
It's this little thing shaped like a trashcan, right?
[His fingers and deadly nails hover over the button, but he glances over toward Mutsu somewhat uncertainly first. Look, he wants to get rid of these pictures, but he doesn't want to ruin Hana's thingy!!]
no subject
Ya just push the button and say yea and it's all gone.
( Look at this proud, modern sword. Just call him Mutsunokami-sensei from now on, Kashuu. )
'S too bad though... it's not a bad picture, ya know.
no subject
[HE'S NOT FALLING FOR IT, MUTSU!! Nor is he adding sensei to anyone's name, let alone this punk.
Once he's got the confirmation though, he'll click the little trash button. Bye-bye, ugly picture... May you never resurface.]
no subject
no subject
[Where are the cute filters and cupcake and sparkle stickers, that's the real question. Show him that and maybe he'll be a little more eager to learn The Technology...
For now, though, he just huffily holds the tablet back out toward Mutsu.]
You got your spit on it, so you know.
