Who:

yaayaa & you
When: After elemental emotions die down
Where: Shopping district, streets, elsewhere
What: Mostly-aimless wandering around town
Rating/Warning: None, probably

[So Cerealia's falling apart, weather's invaded the city, Mosley's a robot, Naki's friends went on a murder spree while he was holed up in his room, etc etc....he's tired. He's not entirely sure why he's tired, after a week of doing nothing but mope (emotional exhaustion is still a foreign thing), but. What he knows is that he should get up, go out, do something, stop lying around. Maybe find something to cheer up the others? What would Ichi-nii like....]

around town

[Naki's in his favorite fox coat, with a matching whiskered face mask, peeking in at various shops in the shopping district. Picking out a notepad at the stationary store! Perusing the snack aisle at...some place that sells snacks! Trying on a scary mask at a costume shop! Staring curiously at a toy store display of plastic jumping beans! Getting ushered out of a store with a NO PETS sign on the door!

Why.....]

But I'm not a pet...! [whines the fox around his neck, as he stares perplexedly at the door.]

other

[wild card? Shopping aside, he can also be found wandering around the gardens, feeding a carrot to the horse near the dojo, sitting by the street somewhere just watching people walk by...playing rhythm games on his cerevice, maybe.]

[Oh, Naki seems a bit more enthusiastic than usual (?). Ichigo smiles at that and follows after them.]

We'll probably need to get a big one so everyone can share.

[Naki is indeed possibly maybe a little bit somewhat enthusiastic! He's got a sweet tooth...also this cake is really hard to resist?]

Do you think this one might be big enough? It's certainly attractive enough.

[It's nice to see Naki happy and enthusiastic in his silent Naki way.

Ichigo smiles and nods.]

It should be and it's certainly very cute!

[Must. Resist. Urge. To. Pet. Uncle. On. The. Head!]

[Why is he resisting! Uncle's very fond of headpats, you know.

But yes. Buying the cake! Getting it packaged in a nice little box! He lifts it up, trying to see if he can catch a glimpse of the cake inside it, but no luck. It's not a windowbox.

Oh well. Turning back to Ichi-nii again! And staring. Does Ichigo wanna buy anything? Is he ready to go? Naki's ready either way.]

[But, but you're supposed to give headpats to those who are younger, not older! Though Uncle is physically smaller and so cuddly-looking... Ichigo is confused!

And luckily Ichigo is used to Naki's silent communication (?) so he got all that from one look.]

I think that should be enough cake for now. I was thinking of seeing what food there was at the grocery store and also get some cleaning supplies. Would you like to come along, Oji-ue? [Because swordhaus is such a mess right now. Does anyone even clean? Or maybe it's just that Ichigo is quite the perfectionist when it come to housekeeping.]

[Naki might be older, but experience-wise he might be younger than the tantous...anyway, look at the Kotetsus! Urashima gets all the headpats he wants!

Not that Naki ever actually asks for them, but.]

Nakigitsune would love to come! We're always happy to help, Ichigo-dono. [Please don't clean the foxden though? It's a mess on purpose! Probably.]

[But! And anyway, this is where Ichi-nii will say one shouldn't do something just because other people are doing it. One should do what is right...

But one day, Ichigo might subconsciously guve Naki a headpet then apologize for acting out of line!]

Well, let's go them! [And leading the way to the grocery store! Don't worry, he won't go barging into other people's rooms to clean unless they really smell and are a nuisance to everyone else!]

[Don't worry Ichigo, someday Naki might accidentally call you Ichi-nii out loud and then we can be even.

But for now! For now he'll quietly and obediently follow along to the grocery store, ready to help find cleaning supplies!

And snacks. Snacks are important.]

[And then there would be much awkwardness... for propriety is very important to Ichigo... Someone should really teach him to relax a bit sometimes!

What a helpful uncle! Once at the grocery store, Ichigo will start stocking up on all sorts of cleaning supplies. And while filling the cart...]

Oji-ue, do we currently have any sort of chore schedule at the apartments?

[If not, he'll probably have to put something together. Everyone should help out with the chores after all! At least, that's how he runs the Awataguchi household back home.]

[Calm down Ichi-nii...relax...wear a fox-ear hoodie like Nakigitsune! Borrow a weird potato shirt from Namazuo! Eat Mutsu's castella!

Also, as he quietly adds a snack or three to the cart...]

A schedule? Ah, I don't believe we have a specific daily schedule, but we do have a few established routines and rules by now...?

[why is he asking are they all gonna have chores now, smallest fox is unsure....!]

[He can't! He's the head of the Awataguchi. He needs to be very responsible and a good role model and all that!]

I see... But does everyone actually follow these rules and regulations?

[But having chores just makes it more like back home, doesn't it?]

For the most part, yes...we had a proper schedule before - our master made it for us when he was here - but it has since disappeared. We still do our chores when we remember them, of course, but it's not quite as regular as it was before.

[There's just not as much motivation to do these things without a saniwa to reward them with stickers for a job well done....]
