March Catch-all

[zapdope]

♥ Who: Tanjiro and/or Zenitsu, and you!
♥ Where: Various places
♥ When: All throughout March/Ainir, aside from possible event stuff
♥ What: A general catch-all for the month of March with demon slayer kids
♥ Rating: PG-13 at least because Zenitsu can be a potty mouth... Will adjust as needed.


[ 1 - Tanjiro & Zenitsu; Training / Various places ]
[ Whether it be in one of the VR cafes in the entertainment district, or at Diacht's temple, the two will be found doing some training.

If you are to join them in the VR cafes, what you'll be at the base of a mountain. It's not the mountain you may have seen during January, but a mountain nevertheless. You'll most likely hear Zenitsu shrieking in the distance as he falls into a pit hole or something. Hey, it's training! There's gotta be obstacles, right? If you call out for anyone, either Tanjiro or Zenitsu will show up, the former looking super energetic and beaming with happiness, or the latter being super tired and looking like his soul's getting sucked out.

Or, if you happen to be Diacht's temple during early parts of the day, the kids will be warming up for a run around the city. You'll most likely hear Zenitsu mainly whining and complaining while Tanjiro is most likely trying to get Zenitsu to hype up for training instead. They're totally good friends.

It'll be fairly quick for the two (or one of them) to realize another person when they get closer. ]

[ 2 - Zenitsu; Shopping District ]
[ Whatever free time he's got left during the time is spent wandering around the shopping district by himself. He's basically just window shopping, as it was the area that would have been remotely close to the city he was living in. Not to mention with previous relationships in the past, he'd spend a lot of time (and money) buying gifts for his now former girlfriends. You can safely assume he's spent a fortune before.

He's no longer a heavy spender, but it will be just as easy for him to fall back to it when he cares so much for the female friends he's made over the past couple months.

If he sees a familiar face, he'll raise his hand and wave at you to catch your attention. If you're a girl, he'll give you a bright smile, but if you're a guy, you’re going to get his usual frown like he's scared of everything. ] ...Hey.

[ 3 - Tanjiro; Housing District ]
[ To be quite frank, Tanjiro is getting a little frustrated about how his cooking is turning out less than stellar as of late. He's pretty sure he has the temperature and spices correct, but more than a few times, the food ends up being a little too plain or a little too strong depending how the ingredients were replicated.

It doesn't help that Zenitsu's taste buds aren't keen but it is pretty spoiled, so he has a certain preference that Tanjiro's slowly learning over time, and over the times he missed the mark thanks to the replicator. But, as much as he wants to improve his cooking, he can't always rely on his friend to taste test everything.

Around afternoon, he'll be around the housing district with a food container in hand and several small forks. He's going to walk up to the first person he sees and holds a fork. ]

Excuse me! Would you like to try this?

Prompt 1 for Zenitsu

[zapdope]

Tanjiro can join in, too!!

[meridio]

[Somnus enters the temple to the familiar sound of complaining when it's accompanied by a new, patient voice. He cranes his neck in their direction and, sure enough, there's Zenitsu with, perhaps, a friend. They're close enough that their eyes meet at some point, which is when Somnus offers his greeting.]

Hail, Agatsuma.

[zapdope]

[ Between February being a music-centric month as well as Vianca's birthday and him spending time picking out gifts for her, Zenitsu realizes it's been a little bit of time since he's talked to Somnus.

"Hail" though... ]

Uhm... Hello Somnus. [ What's giving proper manners to your elders? ] Oh, have you met Tanjiro? He's a friend from my home world.

[ Getting introductions squared away, at least! ] Tanjiro, this is Somnus. He helped with the house stuff when we just got here in January.

[scentsitivity]

[ Unlike Zenitsu, Tanjiro wastes no time to politely bow at Somnus. ]

Good afternoon, it's nice to meet you, Somnus-san. Thank you for your help, I hope there's a way for me to return the favor.

[ A house gift perhaps? He still has more than enough Dora on him that he could buy something useful for Somnus, like cleaning supplies. ]

Would you like to join us in training?

[meridio]

[He looks from Zenitsu to Tanjiro. With his own introduction handled by Zenitsu, Somnus considers the offer. (And if Tanjiro must return the favor, Somnus would rather that he put that energy toward helping this world.) He draws closer to indicate his interest.]

How does it go?

Prompt 2 for Zenitsu

[zapdope]

Re: Prompt 2 for Zenitsu

[iustaegis]

[ Spotting him approaching her, she smiles in return. ] Zenitsu!

[ Of course this comes with an offer of her hand, and should he take it, she'll give it a small, gentle squeeze to reinforce the touch. ] You look just like sunshine today!

[ The smile he gives her does, at least, and she genuinely happy to see him happy. ]

[zapdope]

[ Usually, Tanjiro's the one being comparable to sunshine. But being compared to that by Pyra makes Zenitsu beam with glee as he takes the hand. ]

Aww, thanks Pyra! You're just as pretty as usual today! What brings you to the shopping district?

[zapdope]

idk i'll do whatever i want, i co-own this post

[scentsitivity]

[ You would think that after two months Tanjiro would be used to this whole western clothes business, but... he still isn't used to it...

They could only wear their demon slayer uniforms so often, they needed to be washed routinely, so both boys agreed to stock up on clothes a few days after their arrival in Havenwell. And thus, Tanjiro and Zenitsu ended up having a handful of western clothes. Dress shirts and slacks are straightfoward enough.

But the tie. Why did he agreed to Zenitsu about the tie again? He could never tie it properly or 'modern' enough. ]

Is the tie really that important?

if ur gonna say that...b prepared

[zapdope]

This might be the only time we get to try out different outfits, and you complain about the tie??

[ Not that Zenitsu had much preference when it came to fashion up until now. I mean, look at what he was wearing before Kuwajima took him in.

It's not to say he wouldn't be interested in different fashion, no. ]

It's to dress proper! You've seen some people dress in this right?

[ Only those who have the means to dress fancy. Either way, Zenitsu was basically excited to try different things, and he's dragging his friend along to see how he'd look because he totally thinks Tanjiro will look ridiculous because of how traditional he's always been.

Anyways, Zenitsu's already getting the tie...tied... words... Living in the city has more opportunities for learning more modern stuff. He looks over to Tanjiro's direction and gives an exasperated look. ]

Are you saying that because you dunno how to tie one?

[scentsitivity]

Of course I haven't. I don't get why you're paying too much on a piece of fabric.

[ It's just hanging around his neck? If it had any function, like headbands, that would be a different story but it's just an ornament so it really means nothing to him.

Still, despite Tanjiro's protest, he loosens it and tries to put it together again... it looks like it's bundled together close to his neck. ]

[zapdope]

I told you, it's part of the fashion style! It makes you look sharper! You don't wanna look lousy, don't you? And why're you the one complaining anyways?

[ Usually Zenitsu's the one doing the complaining! Anyways, he'll quickly lose his patience with a frustrated grunt and gets close to the other. ]

Here! This is how you tie it!

[ Hella close to each other, but Zenitsu's too busy trying to get Tanjiro to dress properly according to fashion so he'll start tying the tie for his friend. ]

Prompt 1 for Tanjiro

[scentsitivity]

i did say b prepared

[zapdope]

[ Before any training, warm-up stretches are very crucial. So that's what the two will be doing to start off the day in the early mornings. Tanjiro may be an early riser, but Zenitsu's always been so bad at waking up super early.

If he's not still half-asleep, he'll be whining as usual about the training. ]

Tanjiroooo... I'm sleeeepy! Why do we gotta wake up so early every day???

i'm ready (2 die)

[scentsitivity]

[ Tanjiro stops his own stretches to look at Zenitsu and frowns. ]

It's better for us to train in the morning than at night, that way we can get a full's night rest tonight after loosening our muscles.

[ Never mind the fact most of the time they hunt demons dead at night. Let's be real Tanjiro's sleeping hours are beyond any kind of normalcy. ]

[zapdope]

[ These two's habits are mostly complete opposites, how are they still friends? ]

Well, yeah, but... It's way too early to do proper training! [ whine!! up to this point it was written like over 12 hours ago and i forgot what i was going for.

Either way, Zenitsu's not putting his all into his warm up stretches as he gives a big yawn. ]

[scentsitivity]

[ They put up with each other's bullshit. They're practically platonicaly married.

But oh no, there's too stiffness in Zenitsu's body and the yawning is getting in the way from having him properly stretched out. He gets up and places his hand on the blond's back. ]

Take deep breaths like this 'haaaaa'!

[ What he failed to mention was Zenitsu needed to breath in as he stretches out, instead Tanjiro just immediately has his hand pushing the blond forward to deepen his stretch without warning. ]

Prompt 3 for Tanjiro

[scentsitivity]

[iustaegis]

[ She blinks at the sudden offer, her eyes flitting to the fork before looking back to meet his. She chuckles softly into a hand.

He's charming, really. ] What's this...? A free sample of...?

[scentsitivity]

They're vegetable croquettes! I've been learning how to cook some western-style dishes since Vianca-chan's shop has recipe books similar to the ones from my homeworld.

[ Also Zenitsu is spoiled, and he's been raving croquettes since croquettes are luxurious in their time period. ]

Though you might want to be careful Pyra-san, some might taste different from the others. I'm not sure why the replicator can have the ingredients taste too bland or too much.

this but let's evolve it into dates w/ zenitsu

[nyani]

Eh? Oh, Tanjiro-san? [ Cyan hadn't quite expected to run into him here, let alone to be offered a meal upon doing so, but without thinking much about it, she reaches to take a fork. ]

What's this?

o7

[scentsitivity]

It's karaage, though it's the first time I've tried cooking chicken like this. It's apparently really popular in the future.

[ His future meaning the late Taisho, but he has yet to realize how much he's stating the obvious to Cyan. ]

[nyani]

Karaage!! It's amazing you could make this, Tanjiro-san. I'll be happy to try it!

[ Her ears twitch instinctively.

Someone,

somewhere,

is listening. ]
