a: cookie disaster

[ Upon leaving the research center after being briefed via PowerPoint presentation, you'll find a robot that looks like a salt and pepper shaker tailing you, and offering you a fortune cookie! What a cute little robot. It's just so bad that it the cookie gives you strange fortunes like "Someone has Googled you recently". Creepy, huh?

But whether or not you read your fortune out loud, the robot seems to be very, very intent on helping. It follow you around and offer strange, and possibly dangerous advice. Your fortune said "You're allergic to the last thing you ate"? Well, the robot will offer to cut open your stomach to remove the food out! It cares. And this robot will chase you down, threaten you, shoot you with its laser eyes, or all of the above! Apart from that, it's definitely very noisy. Sorry, it's not sorry about how loud it is as it announces to you and to every passerby that "You will spend the next five hours sitting on the toilet"!

(Feel free to think of the most mundane or crazy fortunes and helpful "solutions!") ]

b: error in transporation

[ The metro-rail is basically what everyone who doesn't want to walk uses to get around the colony. It's usually a convenient means of transporation, but with the population growing, the rides start to get crowded! Lucky for you, today isn't one of those days. There aren't a lot of people riding the trains today, and there are probably just three or so people in each cart. You can sit down, and you don't have to smell the person who's invading your personal space because of how crowded it is!

Hold on tight, though, as the train comes to an abrupt stop! The conductor gets every passenger's attention through the intercom right away, and explains that there's some trouble in the next stop that services will be interrupted until further notice. Basically? You're stuck on the train until whatever problem there is is solved. Hope you have nothing important going on!

Well, of course you don't! You just arrived, after all. ]

c: obligatory horror option

[ After being briefed, of course you'd want to find a place to settle down in. Thankfully, the CEO and CERES is generous enough to provide you all with housing, and free rent for two months! Just how swell is that? But upon claiming an apartment of your own, you'll slowly notice that things aren't… how they should be. You blink, and you find the figure of someone who you never ever want to see before you. It's a faceless being, but their other physical characteristics sure are there. You blink again, and they're gone.

You don't feel safe. You start getting paranoid. What if something else happens? Maybe you should find another place to sleep in tonight. Knock on your neighbour's door, or wait outside your building to see if anyone will pick you up.

Or you could always be brave and spend the night at your own apartment. You'll find the lights flickering on and off even though you've switched them off already; the doors opening and closing on their own; the furniture suddenly not being in its place as if someone was dragging them around the house. It's definitely causing a lot of disruption so late at night, and it's not just you who can hear it. Your neighbours can hear the strange noises coming from your apartment, too. ]

d: vivid
✧ ViVid info

[ You thought you were done with ViViD for the day, but for some messed up reason, you clicked on something you weren't supposed to, and you're back in the game.

Your mission? Form a party of two members or more, beat the boss before it beats you! Yes. The boss is a butt with a tongue. It attacks with its tongue by either impaling the character/s, or by releasing pink hairs into the air which will fall all over the stage and causes confusion for a short duration of time.

The mission begins once you've formed a party! Good luck, and don't let love be over! ]

Please.

[ Kogitsunemaru doesn't bother to hide his glee. He nods, the two distinct tufts of hair on his head sticking up and staying up. His ponytail swishes side to side as he walks towards his brother. Kogitsunemaru bows a little to make it easier for Mikazuki to reach his hair.

Is this what having family is like? Sure, they're from the same school but they were offered to different people. And they're both treasured swords at that. They wasn't a lot of opportunity for them to meet before the Saniwa found them. He's thankful to their Master for a lot of reasons, being able to meet his brothers is one of them. ]

[munechika]

[ to be honest, he doesn't know either. since, despite the years he spent with the ashikagas before the clan's downfall, he's never had the opportunity to do something like this. he and his companions had always had various people attend to their needs. from their clothes to their maintenance to their repairs should there be any need for it, there had always been someone who did it for them. a price for their status, he had supposed.

and it's really only until he's been summoned by their new master that he's even introduced to such tasks and chores.

as he starts brushing the other sword's hair (fur?? whatever), he also starts finding strange things in it. pieces of paper, for instance, shredded into tiny pieces like confetti and pillow feathers. and clumps of salt too, almost invisible among the silver strands. ]

I am almost curious as to what kind of encounter you've had in your own house, Kogitsunemaru. [ because your hair's a mess what is this. ] Did you leave of your own accord or were you forced out?

[ he almost bets that it's the former. but he's not a betting man. ]

[lilsmith]

[ At first he was excited, but all this discovering stuff in his hair kinda hurts. He didn't regret tricking those spirits then, but he regrets it now. So much regret. Please be gentle while pulling clumps of hair apart.

The salt on his hair is unsightly, but it also protects him from the other spirits in Mikazuki's house. Will they attack him once he's clean? It's a small price to pay for having shiny fur again.

And the answer is a little bit of both, so no one won this bet. Not like they had money to bet anyway. ]

Dealing with them tired me out. I will return once I'm rested. [ To make amends, maybe. He didn't mean to anger them that much. ]

Yours are very well-behaved, Mikazuki.

[munechika]

[ don't pressure him wow. he's trying to ok since he likes your hair too. ]

Do you truly think so? [ and as if on cue to prove his point, there's a loud crash from the other room. mikazuki remains unfazed though and simply laughs it off, resuming his occupation of removing stuff from the other sword's hair. since that's technically more pressing at the moment than broken furniture or whatnot. ]

They're like children. They behave when you tell them off but return to mischief when no one's looking. [ maybe that's why kogi don't get along with them. they're all children.

... now how do you tie this ribbon ... ]

[lilsmith]

[ Yes, he thinks so. They slammed the door at him but they have yet to throw anything.

Kogitsunemaru quickly turns his head to the direction of the crash, staring attentively. Was something happening? Nothing? Carry on with trying to tie a ribbon. This small fox will trust your fashion sense, brother who wears curtain tassels on his head.

Speaking of leaving children unattended-- ]

So right now, my house... [ Would it still be intact when he returns? ]

[munechika]

May perhaps be on fire when you return. [ no, he's kidding. but he's laughing so ... but no, he's really kidding. ] I jest but it may be in need of cleaning later on.

[ which had been the case for his when the spirits first showed up. tidying everything up had been exhausting but it wasn't anything bad. and certainly had nothing on cleaning up after horses or tending to the field.

if only he knows how to braid ... but!! at the very least he can do a knot similar to the knots on his gloves. let's see now ... one end over, one end under. ]
