a dialogue between muse(s) and mun--

"You know, mundane-chan..."

Okita's eyes narrowed on the young woman, a strange meld of boredom and annoyance having flickered in his expression as he spoke. Unamused? To say the least, and he had no qualms in letting her now.

"It's getting pretty boring. If you think you're going to just forget about us again--"

"...You'll kill me, right? I know." She let out a sigh, defiant in the face of someone who she knew was very much good for his word. At the very least, she wasn't lying. She knew it, and she meant what she'd promised. There was no intent to run away or disappear.

There were just... distractions. Not terribly important ones, but they'd kept her from being able to focus.

"Can't you just... wait a couple of days? Really, Okita-san!! I'm definitely going to when I feel better."

"...Better? Or when your hand is completely molds in the shape of that Playstation controller and your eyes are going to shoot lasers?"

The only thing worse than dealing with one Okita was dealing with two. And that was what she had facing her. Neither was amused, though one clearly understood the situation better than the other.

"Really, you're ignoring us to try and get a platinum trophy? What a weird girl, hahaha!"

.........And as condescending as ever, of course. Not that it mattered in the least, neither Okita was going to let it slide.

"Well, it doesn't really matter. Hurry up, because if you don't get back to this soon..."

"...We really will kill you this time."

My headcanon for this picture is that Souji told Saitou how COOL and TRENDY genie pants were

And Saitou, believing him, bought them seriously while Souji stands behind him and tries not to die laughing

ooc;

Mun is a bit under the weather, which is a bit of a distraction. Drafts will definitely be posted by the end of the weekend and I'd love to get some other stuff running too, if anyone wants to do stuff.

Open/closed starters would be cool with me, if anyone's got any ideas and wants to start something, you can just tag me into it and I'll hit it asap.

[sandanzuki-blog]

ooc; oops

No drafts left behind! No drafts left behind!

Just a sorta heads up that I'll be slow on my lengthier threads for a couple of days while I take care of some offline stuff. Nothing big/problematic, just distracting. I'll still be checking stuff and probably joke/crack replying in the meanwhile.

I'm not disappearing again though, but I don't want to leave anyone hanging!!

// Thank you for answering them all! ouo

You're welcome! It was pretty fun. <3

// Um, would it be all right to ask Okita-san's mun everything within the listing? I'd like to get to know you. u/////u

Awwww, haha... you can, yes! I'll skip the ones I already answered since... I already answered them. :D

Buzz: What song do you listen to when you're feeling down?

I don't have one specific song, but I have a playlist consisting of Team H, Less Than Jake and the Backstreet Boys that always puts a smile on my face. It's a weird combination, but I love it.

Cup: Do you drink Tea or Coffee?

Both! Usually coffee if I'm out and tea at home, but it depends on my mood.

Dopey: Tell us an embarrassing story.

My entire life is an embarrassing story. But seriously... hm...

English: How many languages can you speak?

It depends on the definition of speak. I'm 100% fluent in English, I have a fluent understanding of Italian, I'm semi-fluent in Japanese, and I'm learning Korean too. I also have a strange, innate understanding of Swedish. I'm not really good at speaking languages, but I understand them and read them fairly well.

Jump: Do five jumping jacks/star jump.

....This is weird. Why is this a thing?

Love: Do you believe in marriage?

I think the fact that I was yelling to my fiance about going to file marriage license papers would have to indicate that I do. Right? Right.

Naughty: Tell us three things that your parents disapprove of?

I'm far, far too old for this. Even if there is anything my mom disapproves of, she has no say in my life decisions. (We get along very well and she respects the things I do with my life, so this is really a non-issue anyway)

Oops: What is one thing you'd like to change/fix?

About myself? Just some minor cosmetic dental stuff. About others? I would like to punch my next door neighbors into the sun. I am a simple creature.

Picture: Post a pic of your lovely face.

Hello!

Quality: Name three of your favorite blogs.

I don't really rate blogs by favorite, not on tumblr. And my favorite off-tumblr blogs are just news/information blogs for things I like (like otome games and Jang Keun Suk)

Rapunzel: Name three Disney movies that you adore.

The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Wreck-It Ralph. This is hard because I am a huge, huge Disney fan and when it comes to the animated stuff, I fall all over it constantly. TLM takes my number one, since it was my first as a kid and I think to this day, I draw a lot of inspiration from it.

I'm actually... wearing a TLM shirt now... haha..

Star-sign: When's your birthday?

August 2nd!

Teacher: What do you aspire to be?

I don't like to talk about it specifically, since it's not an aspiration so much as an agenda, but it ends with me racing a segway through midtown manhattan, and that's all that really matters here.

Unite: Do you sponsor a cause?

Quite a few, actually. I like to balance out my selfishness with trying to contribute to the good being done in the world that I can't do myself.

Varsity: Do you play/watch sport?

I busted my knee about... 12 years ago playing volleyball, so I don't play anymore. I watch hockey pretty avidly, and I follow baseball and basketball well enough.

Xylophone: Do you play an instrument?

I leave that to the fiance. That's his area of expertise. I'm not coordinated enough for that.

Yellow: What's your favorite color?

Red.

Zoo: What is your favorite animal?

Domestic: cats.

Farm: cows

otherwise wild: any and all large cats

RUINS EVERYONE'S DASH WITH THIS. I'm sorry, I love you all!!!!!

[chizuru-yukimura-oni-blog]

“That’s not what I meant at all!..well…” She blurted out quickly.

Chizuru looked over from the corner of her eye and was completely embarrassed with realization that this was another one of Okita’s tricks. She expected Okita would tease her as soon as they’d meet again but she didn’t think it’d come so quickly. Chizuru gave out a small giggle and felt a warm feeling.

“You haven’t changed at all, have you Okita-san?” 

[sandanzuki-blog]

"Relax, relax!" He managed to utter the words between his laughter, thoroughly amused with Chizuru's reaction. It was expected, of course, and she'd played right into his hands in the way she always had.

At the very least, it was firm confirmation that she hadn't changed, either. "I was only kidding. Really... you couldn't tell?"

After a minute, his laughter began to subside, and it faded to comfortable amusement. "Anyway, I guess it's not important. Did you really think I'd change just because I was away for a bit?"

Fear: Tell us three fears. Game: What was the last board game you played? Harry Potter: What was the last book you read? Injury: Have you ever walked into a glass door?

Fear: Tell us three fears.

I don't fear many things, but the things that do are actually huge anxiety triggers for me and will cause me to have panic attacks. I guess the one downside to being mostly fearless is that. But.

Making phone calls

Vomit

Hurricanes

Game: What was the last board game you played?

I... have no idea. Risk? Monopoly? Clue? Chess? I haven't played one in years, since my fiance and I are too competitive and it usually ends in someone getting mad.

Harry Potter:What was the last book you read?

I actually answered this one already! And I can't remember any others.

Injury: Have you ever walked into a glass door?

No, but I am a frequent victim pushing the door when it needs to be pulled and vice-versa.

Amazing, Harry Potter, Money

Amazing: Your OTP in 3 fandoms?

This is hard, as someone who ships pretty much everything. I almost always consider canon ships my OTP (like Chizuru/all the guys in their routes), so barring those and going with fandom-only ships…

Female Protagonist/Shinjiro (Persona 3)

Jiyeon/Jisoo (Dandelion)

Axel/Roxas (Kingdom Hearts)

That said, I have so… so many fandoms. I could name a million OTPs!!

Harry Potter: What was the last book you read?

I can’t remember the last new book I read — probably one of my Japanese history  books. But the last thing I re-read was Catch-22, by Joseph Heller.

Money: What would you do with 1 million dollars?

Pay off my car and the rest of my debts, invest a portion of it, and then just put the rest aside. A million dollars doesn’t have the same impact as it used to; it’d barely buy a house and cover the property tax for a year where I live. (Cries, I’m such an old lady/responsible adult…)

Still/As Ever [OPEN PROMPT]

[kosuzu-shizu-blog]

Pursing her lips, Kosuzu turned on her heel- and wobbled slightly, considering the lack of support given by her geta- just to be faced with his smug grin. Ugh… why could she not have kept her mouth shut. True, part of her was pleased that her comment had actually reached him, yet another, a more realistic part of her scolded her naivety. Had she not learned from past encounters? Did she not know deep down that there was no arguing with this man? At least not the kind of arguing that would leave her on the winning side…

“If that is how Okita-han chooses to understand it, then what can I do to change your mind?” She straightened her posture and gently folded her hands over one-another. His posture was relaxed, yet his piercing eyes spoke focused on her with a strange tension… like a cat ready to jump and sink its claws into a mouse. Well, she would not be that mouse! She had to make herself look as strong as she could if this cat was to go hungry.

“All I meant to note was, how rash it seems for a noble samurai to slander his comrades and their efforts, when he was not even there to witness their struggles himself.” She did her best to keep her voice low, however she could not keep the poison from them. Whether he had ‘pulled his weight’ wherever he had been, she could not tell and honestly cared little for. But his hypocrisy was just too infuriating to keep quiet…

[sandanzuki-blog]

"I wonder..."

For a brief moment in time, it almost seemed like he wasn't even paying attention to what Kosuzu was saying. Perhaps not that he was writing her off, or deliberately ignoring her, but more so that he was too caught up in his own thought process and agenda to be bothered.

Of course, that wasn't the case at all. His pause, was in fact, thought out and dramatic, his expression seeming to consider something. But it wasn't that he was trying to formulate a response, either, which made the pause nothing short of a confusing one for anyone who may have been observing it closely.

As quickly as that moment came, however, it was gone. The moment had been a fleeting one that passed with breeze, and now all that was left was a  smirk, a sharp expression and and even sharper tongue.

"...Are all maiko as nosy as you? That must be bad for business. It's too bad, really, you could have made a good investigator..."

Not, of course, that a woman would have been formally permitted to join the Shinsengumi's ranks. Their honor was held on their rules -- even if they'd been quietly broken. Things like that were neither here nor there, though, lined with technicalities that he wouldn't dare speak of.

He let out a chortle, his expression still lacking any matching qualities to his stance. It had fallen into a relaxed state: aware, but far from confrontational. He was in his home territory, surrounded by allies and with little reason to be concerned. Besides, being so drained from the sunlight meant it was more than enough work to continue on as normal. Okita really wanted little more than to report in and the retire to his quarters until nightfall, where he could resume his duties as normal.

One thing at a time, though.

After a moment, he heaved a sigh, disinterested lining his features. He was flippant as he waved a hand, the motion matching the sentiment, complementing in, in a way.

"Anyway, I don't really care what you meant. It's probably a waste of time to get angry about it too. I'm not really interested in proving to you why I said those things, or how much work I've done. And besides... I'm sure you've got plenty better things to do than fight with despicable samurai, right?"

The last sentence had a venomous bite to it, a clear message to Kosuzu that he hadn't forgotten than encounter many months ago. It was little secret to him that she had a distaste for samurai, the Shinsengumi included, despite their intention and despite where they lay on the social status bar: as outcasts to the people, the nobles, and the military alike.

and then there’s this asshole: the okita souji story

[sandanzuki-blog]

[sandanzuki-blog]

wOw I just want to say that you're a crazy-amazing Souji rp-er and it's really great to see your stuff again, thanks for existing :)

Ahhh, wow, this really brings a smile to my face! I'm drowning in love and kind words and have undying appreciation for my followers (RPers and non alike) who've taken the time to express these things to me! It makes the snap decision to come back when I wasn't really planning on it worth it in every regard.

I'm really, really happy to hear that you've enjoyed the things I've done with him -- and that I've come back. So thank you, for being so kind!!

I'M REALLY BAD AT EXPRESSING MY APPRECIATION OUTSIDE OF GIFS AND GOING "KFDJHFKJDF" I'M SORRY. Accept all my love.

Running Up. [SSL/Open Prompt]

[crayonshinpachi]

If there was one good thing about the end of the week it was that Shinpachi didn’t have to teach in the last period.Sometimes it was just too tiring to teach at that hour and I didn’t help that half his students didn’t really want to pay attention to his lessons.

A sudden yawn escaped his mouth as he stared out the window of the teachers office. There was a frown on his face and that only was because of the amount of tests he had to grade. His red pen did quick work on the one he was currently grading. He sighed as he placed the 10 on the paper. It was annoying to see his students not do so well but this particular student  didn’t pay to much attention during class. It was only natural. Still..he felt somewhat guilty! It was his job to make sure that they actually learn but math wasn’t the simplest subject for most students.

The bell chimed. It was the end of the day but not for him. Getting up from his desk, Shinpachi collected the desks and put them in a folder. He would just grade them from home…or an even better idea was to just grade them later. He deserved a break as well! Maybe Sano would want to catch a few drinks with him.

With a grin he left the room. Beer and some good fried snacks and maybe even a lady would just make his weekend. The sudden sound of someone running caught his attention and looked to his side. Well look who it was. He reached out and pulled on the back of the boys sweater. “Isn’t there a rule that you shouldn’t run in the hallways, Souji?” 

[sandanzuki-blog]

"--Oogh!"

The switch from running at top speed to i'm trying to move but my legs are stuck in one place was jarring enough for Okita, but it was the fact that it was coming at such an inconvenient time that made the situation endlessly frustrating to him.

It was something he brought on himself to some extent; being a smartass and talking back to faculty while skirting rules and regulations wherever he could made him something of an easy target when he did something so overtly against the policies of the school. Maybe he wasn't as bad as some others -- he got good grades, attended kendo club dutifully, and tended to his other duties -- but there was little denying his attention-seeking rebellious streak that had given him something of a reputation.

Not helpful at the moment, though, to say the least.

"Ahaha, is there? I guess I must have forgotten, Nagakura-sensei. Since class is over for the day, and all."

Bullshit. One-hundred percent bullshit. Souji did his best to force out a laugh and feign a smile -- if his best was considered not really trying at all. When the stakes were high, or the information personal, he could feign well enough that very few could see through him. He wasn't like Heisuke, who managed to get himself in more trouble with bad excuses. But unlike his classmate, there was little that was genuine in his attempt.

He only cared about getting 'caught' because it was hindering him from his business, which caused his tone to be laced with obvious mockery and sarcasm.

Well, at least it wasn't Hijikata-sensei, or it would probably be infinitely more annoying. Okita found himself grateful for that.

"Anyway, I have somewhere to go now... And you're going to stretch my sweater out if you don't let go," The excuse slipped from his mouth effortlessly, the truest indication of his ability to get out of a jam. "I don't think Kondou-sensei and Hijikata-sensei would like hearing that the reason my uniform looks like I pulled it out of the garbage is because you damaged it."

"...Right?"

[sandanzuki-blog]

What would you do if you had a chance to save Kondou san before he died?

“…”

Hearing the words Kondou-san and died in the same sentence so bluntly wasn’t at all what he’d expected. Not expected, and certainly not called for, by any means. The initial shock is enough to set him off guard for just a moment.

The answer, of course, was obvious to Souji. If it was his choice, he’d have done anything in his power to save Kondou. Whether it was doing a better job holding off his captors, or surrendering himself in order to spare his beloved commander… there was no thinking of what he would have done, because it was that he’d do anything that would cause that outcome. Anything to prevent him  from dying again.

Nothing else mattered. But the harsh truth was that an opportunity like that wasn’t one that existed. It was over, and so his expression hardened just a bit; he could hardly believe the audacity of some Grey Face speaking of that situation so casually.

“Whatever was necessary.” He uttered the words with a curt tone, with very little intent of revealing specifics.

[sandanzuki-blog]

[chizuru-yukimura-oni-blog]

“Okita-san?..”

A familiar face appeared, she rushed over towards his side. 

“Its been a while, you’ve returned from your duties?”

[sandanzuki-blog]

"Ah... Chizuru-chan."

He was quick to regard her with a nod. It was true, that he hadn't seen her at all in the last while; even with having returned from Edo, the opportunity hadn't presented itself until then.

Of course, he noticed the speed of her movements, how eager Chizuru was -- full of energy... and some sort of visible pleasure at his return. For Okita, that meant there was only one way to really respond.

"Mmm, that's right. It certainly has been a while..."

"...Could that mean you've missed me while I was away, then? Ahaha, that's pretty forward of you!"

Only one way, in Okita's eyes, meant going right for the jugular and teasing her. The intent wasn't ill, of course, but as always, he had little qualms with taking a very innocent, reasonable situation and flipping it to be something more compromising than it truly way.
