Warnings: Hijikata might yell? (PG)



Where did all these people come from... Well, anyway! Hijikata dragged his comrades back to his house, but it looks like some other surprises came along the way!?

A log for all the new and not-so new people (various visitors too) to get situated!

Comments

had it not been for the laws of this land...

[hijiwanwan]

A. For Heisuke.

[ so... Hijikata was doing paperwork (poetry? maybe!) until he heard the door shut. though, it wasn't the sound of one person coming in... he hears multiple footsteps!? what could this mean!

well, naturally Hijikata will stop whatever he's doing and leave the room (Ume follows him too but then bolts ahead of him! she's excited to greet the new people!!!). and Hijikata sees Heisuke... with a girl.

squints... ]

Heisuke...

[ he approaches him, arms crossed. HE'S GIVING HEISUKE THAT LOOK! THE DISAPPROVING PARENT LOOK. ]

Who is this?

B. Wildcard!

[ Okay, hit me up. ]

( rip heisuke, die a good man.

she finds herself in what she believes to be the master bedroom, it's certainly big enough with how much space it takes. can she have this room? most likely no. but what she does do is glance around the room, looking at various things so that she can get a feel of the people she'd be staying around. passing by a desk, she glances at a book that seems to have a page of poetry here and there. the emperor takes her time to read, mulling over the sentences that speak to her and while some hold no meaning to her; they are better than most. )

Mm? ... Even if only one plum blossom bloomed, plum blossoms are plum blossoms.

( what the fuck is this BULLSHIT! )

Exquisite? Satisfactory within it's own right? But not good enough! ( turning to see hijikata walking into the room, she can only believe this type of writing came from him. ( besides, from how heisuke wrote in japanese writing, and how they both somewhat wear the same gear, she believes it's from him. ) showing the page to the male before her: ) Why did you not finish it? It needs something more, it begins tranquil and yet needs to transpire to complete beauty. Continue it with a phrase like: ...but the rose is an incarnation of the most passionate love.

HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE LAWS I CREATED...........

[hijiwanwan]

[ AND HERE COMES HIJIKATA, walking into his room after (probably?) yelling at Heisuke, begrudgingly sigh, allowing him to do what he wishes THIS ONE TIME... Hijikata enters his room--

only to see his nightmare come to reality for like the 483924892th time.

yes, he looks horrified. UTTERLY HORRIFIED. ]

You-- What the hell are you doing!? You're not suppose to walk into my room and look at my things without permission!! [ there it is. he's yelling. he's DEFINITELY going to storm up to Nero and take the poetry book away from her! ]

It is finished. It's called a haiku for a reason -- what are you, daft? Why the hell did you sneak off while I was talking to Heisuke!?

[ this is why women are TROUBLESOME! ]

STOP IVE LIVED LONG BEFORE YOUR ASS WAS EVEN A THOUGHT IN GODS MIND IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR MY LAWS I

[rosaichthys]

Heel mongrel! ( an order she directs to this tall ass man and she does not waver by his own voice that raises at her. as an emperor, she's had numerous people yell at her for how she reacted to certain things so one voice will not make her act any differe. though she will admit that his hair has nicely been taken care of. it doesn't mean that she'll listen so easily, a small hit of her heel against the ground as she allows him to take the poetry from her hands. ) Show some class to someone who will be living here! Hm, even he ( heisuke ) acts with some decency though his way of speaking is hideous.

( though she does ignore him, like she has to admit as to why she came to this room. does it have his name on it? hell no it doesn't! but she will speak on his haiku, it would be better in her terms if he continues. ) It holds no story, it is only a seed waiting to be bloomed by it's writer — you. ( analyzing him, he only reminds her of someone late in her time with such an attitude. ) It is at the start of becoming beautiful yet I wish to know why you halt it from prospering.

( like she needs to tell anyone why she moves away, they are their own people. ) You ask such rhetorical questions so I shall not answer. What I want to know is why such a masterpiece as a growing seed is not yet finished.

JUST SHUT UP

[hijiwanwan]

[ Hijikata grimaces when Nero has the GALL to tell him! Hijikata! of all people! TO HEEL? ]

Show some respect to the person who is allowing you to stay here first of all. If it weren't for me I'd throw you out to the dogs.

[ Hijikata flips through the book quickly, making sure it hasn't been tampered with. then immediately puts it back down on the desk, and it better stay there. no touchies.

with a sigh, he only gives Nero a disapproving look -- his eyebrows are furrowed, and he definitely looks like he won't take anymore shit today. ]

You're... Really stupid, aren't you. I already told you, it's finished. The point of a haiku is to observe the nature around you, not make up ridiculous things with elaborate words.

[ hand wave. ]

I don't need a woman to tell me what to do with my work, anyway.

shut dont go up but my foot up your ass will

[rosaichthys]

Show respect to you? Laughable! Why should I show respect to someone who doesn't understand proper beauty and cannot finish a beautiful poem. ( listen, she takes shit from no man! ) Dogs!? Just as deplorable as that Servant Archer. Hmph, dogs mean nothing when I have battled lions and made them bow to me! A replica of Heracles if you know anything of true art.

( damn, she got so much shade that it must be dark in this room. luckily for him. ) Throwing me out to the dogs is a sad task, fight me to a duel if you wish to see who is kicked out of this home! I fight properly! ( damn say goodbye to your house hijikata but there's a purse of her lips as she shakes her head. )

It's not finished! Everything you say is so unbearably boring, by Hercules, that it's murder by monotony! ( a roll of her eyes. ) This body may be woman but that does not limit me from knowing true beauty, your mind must take in things very well if you believe that simple sentence if full bloomed!

STOP

[hijiwanwan]

I told you... It is finished. Don't make me repeat myself.

[ he furrows his eyebrows. he literally has no idea who she's talking about, so WHATEVER. ]

No. There will not be any private fights in this home, you hear me? Abide by the rules if you want to keep your life.

[ ugh... why does the conversation keep circling back to his haikus... he says this under his breath: ] I don't care if your body is a woman, you're rude, you talk back, and you're barely exciting.

Geez... [ a click of his tongue. he rubs the side of his head, irritated. ] Are you done yet?

YOU STOP!

[rosaichthys]

Umu! You speak as if I should fear you, a coward who cannot continue what they have started! Just like I told you: It is not! ( don't get her started, just like a dog when provoked; she'll continue to bark. )

Private fights? You call this private when you are the one to make a scene! ( she will handle this, raising her voice for the entirety of the house to hear. ) This shall not be private, I speak on behalf of myself that if there's a fight you want, I want ALL the people here to witness! You threaten my life but you are a fool, to call me boorish when it's your life — your mindset that can't finish a simple poem that is boorish!

( oo boi, he's gunna get his ass beat. )

Exciting!? Is that what you seek to find from me? Then I'll help you figure that out — ( the moment she's ready to summon her blade, her stomach begins to growl and halts her. if only heisuke held lots of mana but she shouldn't be reckless, she'd also hurt him if she didn't keep her cool head. ) You will not cease me, I am subdued by no man. Hmph, show me my room if this will not be it!

heisuke is too young to die

[sympathe]

Huh? Oh, Hijikata-san, I didn't know you were home!

( Yeah, Heisuke, that makes you look much better. He tries to salvage up a smile in response to that angry dad look though, and while the nervous scratching at the back of his neck seems to indicate awareness that he may not technically be allowed this privilege, he's otherwise not looking too intimidated. There's a glance over his shoulder at the small, bright red girl, and then back to his vice-commander. )

This girl's called Saber. I told her that she could stay with me for a while. I have a good reason, though.

( He promises! Really, what fool would risk the Wrath Of Hijikata™ without one. )

*holding out horikawa*

[hijiwanwan]

Are you implying you were planning to sneak someone in?

[ he sounds 100% unpleased, Heisuke. you might die at this rate.

ugh... well, they brought in [wasu protag's name here] after Ikedaya... so he might as well hear Heisuke out. ]

Then tell me. What are the reasons?

takes horikawa out of ur hands no seppuk

[sympathe]

( He bristles at the implication Hijikata tries to lend to his words, and shakes his head earnestly. Come on, cut him a break, how stupid do you think he is?! )

Apparently she needed a Master, to keep her in this world? I think that if she doesn't have one she disappears or something, and it's not like I could leave her out on her own after that. ( She's pretty troublesome, and apparently has Big Issues with having her chest touched, but when push comes to shove, Heisuke doesn't feel like he could just leave someone to disappear when they ask for his help. So he lifts up his hand to show, a deep red pattern set in the back of it. ) When I agreed, this thing showed up on my hand.

AAAAAAAA im going ghost *seppukus*

[hijiwanwan]

[ what is this weird ass master/servant kink.

he'll give Heisuke another glare for a good measure -- he sees Heisuke puffing up like a cat! but he doesn't talk back, so whatever.

but once Heisuke shows his hand Hijikata will grab his wrist and inspect it more closely! he swipes a thumb over the mark, but it doesn't feel like it's paint or ink...

so not something that could be washed off. weird. ]

Hm. [ he crosses his arms after he lets go. ] It sounds like she's some sort of spirit, then.

[ he's been around the sword spirits enough to actually Believe they are a thing, so it doesn't seem too far-fetch. ]

UGH WHY DO YOU MAKE THINGS HARD!

[sympathe]

( There, he lights up a little. He knows about those! Of course, Masochistic (not a) Broom Man comes to mind. )

Like tsukumogami, right? I met one of them at the desert, and the beach too. Well, she says she's called a Servant, and that she'd been summoned, so I guess she could be something like that? ( And before he can get scolded for that, too — ) I don't think it was me who summoned her though! It must have been this CERES place, she just decided I was her master for some reason.

( He thinks??? He's been here like a day and a half, this is a mess. )

because this is how hiji does things

[hijiwanwan]

Ah, right...

[ guess it wouldn't hurt to give Heisuke the heads up. ] One does live here, so if you see him it's not an intruder or anything. I've allowed it.

[ he runs a hand through his bang and sighs. which means... . . . . ]

Which means that I have to let her stay here now... I suppose. You're going to take responsibility for this, right Heisuke?

i thought my inbox would go down and Yet,

[sympathe]

( Heisuke nods along with the information, and he guesses a warning is good. Let's see, he did meet a sword who met the qualifications for living here though, he thinks? )

Is it Souji-kun's sword? His Kashuu Kiyomitsu? ( Just wondering! And in the meantime: ) Yeah, you can count on me, Hijikata-san! Like I said, I had a good reason for bringing her here.

( And besides, he's also had babysitting duty for the randomly adopted girl of the Shinsengumi before, too. He's got experience? If that first one was useful watch his success this time! Or rather, watch Nero make a fool of him and make him even easier to blame for everything than he already is. )

i would have slaughtered you

[rosaichthys]

A.

( thank god that awful rubberband outfit is gone and here's saber in all her glory. she's smart, disappearing from heisuke's side so that she can go off and do other things. like what? who knows, whatever takes the attention of an emperor. her armor clinks against the ground as she passes by the various rooms, searching for something and do you know what she finds?

the kitchen!
in all honesty, saber is well aware to keep her body in the form that it is now that she needs to eat so what does she do? take out all the food in the fridge, turns on the stove and tries her hand at this cooking thing.

sadly, her imperial privilege is not turned on so what you have is pots boiling over, smoke coming from the microwave, the fridge halfway open and a small fire on the stove top. but maybe saber shouldn't be let alone for so long because now in her hand she has a hot tray with semi-burnt cookies and is happily sticking the treats in her mouth as she takes notice to someone coming inside. )

Um~mmu! ( she likes her cookies, alright? they're chocolate chip and seem to have been salvaged from the fire. ) Are yo.. mn.. hm. You shall excuse me! ( as she finishes up her bite. ) Are you one of the many I shall be sharing housing with?

( but if you're caramia or heisuke, then RIP. )

B.

( wildcard. )

B

[gravesite]

[ so, it seems that nero is the new resident that he'll greet today! when he steps out of his room, he's greeted with a certain sight — a big sheet of paper spread out across the entire living room floor, along with a small set of pens and markers, as well as one (1) girl sprawled out in the center of it all, coloring away happily.

he does remember her, though — so he makes his way over quickly, crouching down at the edge of the paper and calling out to her. ]

Hey, hey! You're the one with all of the snow from the desert, right?

B!!

[rosaichthys]

( a large white sheet laid on the floor and a black marker in hand (she's on her hands and knees so this'll be easier on her), the female writes up a few roman numerals first and then decides to quickly write the making of a new story:

I. Boy born into slavery.
II. Soon he grows and is sold off to a royal family.
III. But there's someone else who looks like him!

now with that there, she decides to color this out, give a visual view of how she wants it to be! besides, this will be her art! what she does is begin to create a description for the boy; she decides that blond hair would be nice so she begins to grab a yellow crayon and begin to color that first. there's a voice that sounds vaguely familiar and once she turns her head, she lights up. )

Umu! It's a pleasure for us to meet once more, to cross paths in such a household is shocking and yet, fitting! Yes, that charming beauty was I! Do you live here as well or does that man leave his door open and you've came to visit!?

[gravesite]

[ seeing three lines, tsurumaru immediately starts counting syllables on his fingers, and — ah, phew, that's not a haiku. but he does like coloring, so he's going to inch forward, grabbing an equally yellow crayon to help her color. ]

Oh, I live with him. We have a dog too — she's probably in our room.

[ but honestly, it's far stranger to see her here, so he's going to stop coloring for a second, tilting his head to the side. ]

But... why are you here?

[rosaichthys]

A dog? To have such a small and fluffy beast hiding somewhere in this home, how I have not yet made contact. Is this dog not the type to protect one's home? ( looking around the room as if trying to see if the dog will come out at the sound of tsurumaru's voice but alas, they are not that lucky. normally a pet will come to a familiar voice but perhaps nero's own is making it difficult. well, when she had her lion that's how it went about.

drawing a circle on the paper with a black marker ( the yellow one had been set down so it gives tsurumaru more to color, this good ol' teamwork ), she draws five squiggly lines as if making a sun and pointing at it for the other to color inside of and trace over the lines. this will be teamwork in all honesty but this image is to represent the selling of the young boy on a hot summer day. )

I am equally a resident, my upbringing had been caused by the event of my master being allowed to live here. ( there's a wide smile on her features as she begins to draw stick people — a rough draft of what's to come — she begins to draw them box-like clothes. ) So we shall be housemates it seems.

1/3

[gravesite]

Well... she's still just a puppy, see? We've only had her for about a month or so, so she isn't defending anything yet.

[ nero's instructions are simple enough, so tsurumaru will start coloring what he assumes to be a sun bright yellow, while she goes on to draw stick figures. look at them, being pure and coloring together, using teamwork to finish these illustrations.

as he colors, he listens to her explanation. a new resident, he understands, but then she says — ]

[gravesite]

Did you say........... "master"?

[ she said master, didn't she? not that he's aware of the fate system, so when she says "master", he can only assume that it's... not for the purest purposes...

...

........ ]

[gravesite]

[ but you know, maybe he's just jumping to the wrong conclusions. maybe!

so he quickly smiles back at her, hoping that she didn't sense too much of his hesitation just now. ] What's your master's name?

[rosaichthys]

( just a puppy, oh no! where did she go? bring her back! but a rare breed that cannot protect anyone yet is rather something! ) Perhaps you should teach her just in case! It is nice to have someone her to protect the fort when the owners are not around!

( but there seems to be some miscommunication! )

My master.. goes by Hei... Hi... H something. H and T will make up his name. ( there goes nero, now drawing some more as if there's nothing wrong. ) Hm, he has more height on him as well.

[gravesite]

We'll teach her once she's a little older — for now, she's too small. [ tbh, all ume can probably manage is tugging on someone's pant leg with all of her tiny strength?

but nero said "hei", didn't she! "hei" for heisuke toudou, not hijikata toshizou!

and even if the rest of that sounds ambiguous, tsurumaru knows heisuke's name — if only because heisuke himself had pronounced his own name in such earnest, hoping that his sword would also have a tsukumogami, but alas! it's only kondou, hijikata, and okita that enjoy that privilege so far.

SO HAH, NERO. he continues on coloring, picking up the crayon color that nero indicates before filling in any recently-drawn spots. ]

Heisuke Toudou, is that his name?
