( Oops I was recording )

[ as to promote the sales of the new line in which Mikazuki's face will be plastered against, the sword was asked to do a bit of advertising on his own time. Such as getting his face out into the public and allowing himself to interact with potential buyers. This line which was going to be featured in a new CereVice application as some sort of photo editing which would allow cute sparkles, filters, and words to be added next to your photo.

And what better way to promote then for Mikazuki to take a photo with you!

Don't be alarmed if this stranger just so happens to be waving you down, device in hand and a smile wide across his face. WHAT DID THIS MAN WANT? WHY WAS HE GETTING CLOSER- ]

Excuse me? I would like to take a "selfie" with you, if your time properly permits.

( The Sleeping Sword Beauty )

[ if you weren't dragged into the (un)fortunate mishandling of Mikazuki's device, you may find him later on in front of Thistle Do Nicely, the flower shop in the Residential District.

What sort of amazing and productive thing could this beautiful tachi be doing out here? Why, taking a nap, of course!

That's right, Mikazuki will be settled into a rocking chair outside of this lovely establishment with his eyes closed and a peaceful smile across his face. He's not sitting there for free, though. Because at either of his side, his lap, and even on top of his head the sword is adorned with an array of different colored flowers. A beautiful man surrounded by equally beautiful flowers. What better advertisement could you possibly ask for?

It's never too cold for a bit of sunshine in your life, and Mikazuki was there to properly make that fact known... through the back of his eyelids, of course. ]

okay fuck it first one before i keep changing my mind

[hoasen]

[While she was shopping, she saw Mikazuki...working? She wasn't sure what he was doing while he was waving her down. Either way, she makes her approach, about to ask him what he wanted--...

Oh.]

A "selfie"? But I am not photogenic! [SHE'LL RUIN THE PICTURE WITH HIM.]

do you need to go lie down

[uchinoke]

[ OH JUST THE PERSON HE WANTED TO SEE he always enjoys running into you, you should know this Vietnam.

But... ah. that reaction. He couldn't help but laugh. ]

Goodness, Vietnam-san! My ears have never heard something so false... I am certain it would be lovely.

[ Can you really say no to this face? Like really? ]

yes i do, help me

[hoasen]

[REALLY, DOES HE REALLY. Is it because she keeps doing things for him.

She's serious about this though!]

It is because I find it hard to smile. [Or make herself smile, it's easier if she's not thinking about it.] The photograph will end up quite grim...

[But she hasn't said no, because Mikazuki...how.]

[prehensible]

[ what the heck is this precious old man doing just sleeping in front of the flower shop. doesn't he know that this is how swords get stolen???

souza was on his way home from one of his jobs when he spots mikazuki, and both charmed and a little concerned, he alters his course to approach him. gosh, he's literally covered in flowers. he looks like something out of a fairy tale right now. (souza almost feels guilty about waking him, but..) ]

Mikazuki-san? [ he bends a little, adjusting one of the flowers in his hair. ] Are you certain you should be sleeping here..?

[uchinoke]

[ Luckily for him Mikazuki is not a very deep sleeper. So when the flower is positioned correctly upon his head, that was his signal to awaken.

The smallest of stirs occurs and, with his eyes barely opened, brightens his smile when realization comes through as to who exactly had spoken his name. ]

... Nnn? Oh yes, of course. Have I worried you?

[prehensible]

[ .. cute. souza softens, leaning in to press a swift kiss to his temple. ]

Well, you must keep in mind that you're still a national treasure, Mikazuki-san. There are many who might be tempted to take you.

[ souza himself is.. cautious. he may not be the beauty that mikazuki is, but he's symbol of conquerors, after all. ]

[fallingsakura]

[Going out and about has become a habit for Botan, she has gotten to the point of enjoying making dinner for Hirari when he arrives home. It was nice to greet someone with something. She did work but this happened to be a day off for the shikigami, that meant they could have some time to enjoy one another. So dressed in her kimono and with a bag on her arm she makes her way back home until she notices someone approaching her...and getting really close.

Botan looks around when he speaks not thinking it was directed to her but there wasn't anyone else at the moment.]

Excuse me? Oh, I'm not sure what a "selfie" is?

[uchinoke]

[ Of course it was directed at you! Who else could this man be talking to? Please don't be alarmed, though, he means no harm. ]

Ah ha ha! Oh dear, this is quite troublesome then. [ The look on his face, though? It doesn't seem as if he has a care in the world. ]

I myself am rather unfamiliar with the term, but it was something I was asked to do.

[fallingsakura]

[What a pretty, carefree man. He doesn't seem troubled in the least to her lack of knowledge. Logically...she could try to work this out perhaps?]

It's called a "selfie" so it has to do with ones self? [Her eyes then go to the device.]

What is that being carried for? You were asked? Why?

Selfie with the Swords

[reprizesal]

[Sayo's out and about, checking the various stores out of curiosity and to distract himself. That's when he saw Mikazuki waving him down and he blinked, watching the (waaaay) older sword walking over to him.]

...A selfie, Mikazuki-san?

bless this child

[uchinoke]

[ Ah, youth. So tiny and wonderful.

He's obviously very happy to see the younger sword, and the smile well plastered across his face is clear evidence of that. ]

Yes, I have heard it is what they call a photo between two people. Particually those being close friends or family.

precious revenge child, that is him

[reprizesal]

[Ah, he nods in understanding. That sounds like something Midare and Kashuu would like. And it's also rather nice, being considered as a "friend" by Mikazuki.]

I don't mind taking one with you.

[Because what's the harm? Beside... that time with the soul stealing cameras. But he didn't see those accursed cameras in Mikazuki's hands.]

i had to go w/the obvious choice...

[adornmental]

[Because of course Kashuu knows what a selfie is by now, and of course he's 110% down for taking one at all times with basically anyone... EVEN GRANDPA.]

Wow, who taught you that one? [Someone else is doing important work and teaching the elderly about the most important functions of the phone and he is So Proud™...] But sure, sure. Hey— let's take two, 'kay?

[Because he doesn't want to wait for Mikazuki to figure out how to send the photo to him... And so he promptly whips out his CereVice, which he has since fitted with this mess of a phone cover. Who lets him do these things? Why is he left unsupervised in the city when he has a pocket full of money?? Questions that desperately need answers but have none.]

you fiend

[uchinoke]

[ Of course he would know how to take a selfie already. This is why Mikazuki knows he can come to you for just about anything. What a true bro. ]

A member of the company to which I am employed had asked this of me. Though I am only familiar with the name itself... [ How does one actually take selfies. All he knows is that it has to do with this device. How he has gotten so far. ] Ah ha ha, of course. I do not mind.

[ ... Oh goodness! How cute was that! As expected of Kashuu of all people. Though Mikazuki has to ask— ]

My, how adorable! Your CereVice, is it?

u kno it

[adornmental]

[His skill set is largely useless for anything actually important but boy, he sure does know how to help in the case of a selfie or filter emergency.]

Whaaat? So they were just like "go take some selfies" and sent you out like that? [Do they not understand that they're working with a true ancient grandpa here?? Why did they even leave Mikazuki with this task, that's the true question.]

It's super easy. I'll show you how to do it! [ONCE AGAIN left showing the ye olde how to manage... But as he's getting the front-facing camera ready, he's momentarily sidetracked by that compliment because of course he is.]

Mmmhm! It's nice, right? One of my coworkers brought a bunch in. Anyway— [CAMERA UP, SELFIE TIME.] You just look into the little camera there and pose, see?

first prompt

[invoker]

A "selfie"?

[ Mitsuru tilts her head at this odd question. Why would this man want to take a selfie with her? She was familiar with them, as Minako took a whole load of them with her and Fuuka. ]

Certainly.

[ She says, with just a bit of hesitation. She never knows what to do in these things, but what harm will it do? ]

[uchinoke]

[ No need to fear! It should never be that strange for a stranger to ask this, right?

Isn't this what all the "hip and young" yolks do, now and days? ]

... You seem unsure. Have I caused you discomfort?

[yaayaa]

Selfie...?

[He's heard Kashuu say that word before! Which means it's already kind of surprising to hear Mikazuki-sama say it.]

Nakigitsune would happily take a selfie with you! Though neither of us is quite sure what that is...

[uchinoke]

[ HEY. Mikazuki is trying to get with the times here.

And look, he is even given the opportunity to teach this younger sword something. Isn't he so cool. ]

From what I have gathered it is a photo between two people. I believe I am the one who is suppose to take it, though. Rather than someone else do it for the both of us.

the second one

[lovemguns]

[ He was just passing but the sight of a guy sleeping, covered in flowers, makes the outlaw pause. It's an amusing and cute sight, and to be honest, not all that weird because he's done that too. Just.. not in front of a shop.

He crouches in front of the guy, and taps him on the shoulder, testing to see if he's a heavy or light sleeper. ]

Hey, ya really asleep there, buddy?

awyeah

[uchinoke]

[ Luckily for this outlaw Mikazuki was very much a light sleeper, so the touch allows for a momentary stir in his sleep. Slowly, slowly the man finally opens his eyes to meet this blury stranger and gives him a lazy smile in return. ]

... Nnn? Oh, hello there. [ Well, you're certainly not someone he's ever seen before, and that causes the sword to straighten up in kind. ]

Ah, yes. I was. Are you in need of some assistance, perhaps?

them selfies

[makigumo]

[ This was not what Shihoudou expected while out wandering (for the sake of being a shit with poopy manners) but she does definitely not mind! Instead, she gins! ]

Sure! Whatever it is, granny would love to!

[ Which is why she wraps one arm around his shoulders and invades his personal space with much gusto. ]

[uchinoke]

[ FELLOW OLD PERSON. HOW NICE IS THIS.

While only mildly suprised with the sudden invasion of his space, Mikazuki will welcome the touch with a friendly smile. ]

Ah ha ha! Goodness, I am grateful you seem so eager.

[ He presents the device, showing a free hand towards the open camera. ]

A "selfie" is a picture of sorts, taken by one who is in the picture.

first one. lol I hope it's not too late :x

[xroyal_bratx]

[ "Selfie?" Ishtar looked highly confused when she as asked that question, but she sort of saw him at the corner of her eyes. She only noticed that he kept getting closer and closer until the question was asked.

It took her a moment to recognize the person. ]

A-Ah...Mikazuki?

Er....what's a uh--- "selfie?"

Perfectly fine!

[uchinoke]

[ Oh, well look what we have here!

Obviously delighted by her presence, Mikazuki greets the female with a bright smile. ] Ah, just the person I was looking forward to see.

I am glad to know the term is quite foreign here as well. [ He shifts the device in his hand, clearly presenting the item. ] Allow me to teach you something I have recently learned. A... picture of sorts, if you please.
