Happy Halloween from BittaSweetz

“Well, well, don’t we look CUTE this year! I seriously lucked out when choosing our costumes this year, I’m like, such a genius!”

“ Tons of people go as kitsunes every year, Ririko, I don’t think we’re all that special. *yawns* Seriously, why does all the fun stuff have to be at night? I still have class tomorrow..”

“ Well, I personally think that Ririko - senpai’s idea was wonderful! I mean, it wasn’t an easy task making ears and tails for the three of us, but I’m glad that I chose to make them! Some of the other ones online were..for lack of a better word, tacky, hehe..”

“Riiight? Plus, all my followers REALLY seemed to like this year’s Halloween post! Just look at all those likes!! I’m like, getting my fifteen minutes of fame here, girls!”

“Ririko, you’re a country-wide superstar, of course you’re gonna get a couple of thousand likes on a Halloween post- Ah, look what we have here..”

“A visitor! Good evening, and Happy Halloween! As you can see, the three of us have decided to dress as kitsune this year.”

“Yeah, like, almost every division is doing group costumes this year, so I thought it’d be cute to hop on the trend! Ah, I almost forgot, the candy! Here, have your pick of the pile!☆~”

You received a treat!

Gummy Masks: Cherry - flavored gummies that resemble the traditional fox mask. When bitten into, you’d notice the jelly filling inside each gummy, leaving you with an almost cinnamon- like aftertaste in your mouth.

“Man, I worked hard on the candies this year, so you better enjoy it. Or..not, I can’t really control your preferences.”

You received a treat!

White Chocolate Tails: Nuggets of White Chocolate shaped into fox tails. The chocolate has a milky, soft texture that almost melts in your mouth, and you can tell that there was plenty of blood, sweat and tears put into each piece.

“I bought these sweets from the best confectionery I could find in Nakano, so I do hope you enjoy these thoroughly. May you have a happy Halloween!”

You received a treat!

Red Bean Wagashi : A traditional wagashi with a red bean paste filling. The mild flavor mixed with the soft , sweet outside layer of the treat make it perfect for those who aren’t all that adamant of overly sweet things.

Entry for @tbrmweek

Day 4 - February 16: Unhealed | Moon | Contract

This story is for @dominaaurum, @kurakura0-0, @dawen, @greencuttingmat, @lazuliofheaven and all the other weasel loving members of my discord server who encouraged me to write more of this series.

Izuna, petting a young weasel: Yes, I know you caught it! But you can't keep everything you kill!

Weasel, confused: But why?

Izuna, pointing at the dead rabbit: Well, it will rot before you can eat it. You don't want to eat food that will make you sick, right?

Weasel, downcast: No…

Izuna, hugging it comfortingly: So that's why you don't kill more than you can eat.

Tobirama, producing a storage scroll: Or at least more than you can safely store.

All the weasels, immediately surrounding Tobirama: More?!

Izuna, pinching the bridge of his nose: Tobirama… I was trying to teach them something! You can't just enable them!

Tobirama, looking up from packing rabbits into the scroll: It will run out of space eventually, so they'll learn it then anyway. Besides, it's my job as your alpha to enable you and your summons.

Izuna, laughing: … you are so lucky I like the way you smell!

Tobirama, kissing him on the cheek: Very lucky indeed.

[okinawa-division]

a faint knock was heard at the entrance of Eagle’s Nest. When the door opened, there stood a young lady with a few packages in her hands.

“ Good Evening, my name is Alice Shiroka. I come representing the Nakano division, BittASweetZ. Is Ms. Rose here at the moment? If not, would it be possible that these gifts are able to get to her? I apologize if I came at an inappropriate time..”

Alice shows the presents in her hands.

The first present is.. a pair of sapphire earrings!

“These earrings are a gift from our division leader, Ririko. She hopes that these are to Ms. Rose’s liking. They’re made of sapphire, which Ririko thought would fit Ms. Rose’s style.”

The second present is..A box of cookies!

“ These cookies were baked by Shu, another member of BittASweetZ. They’re chocolate flavored with vanilla frosting, and the rose is simply pink fondant. Shu hopes that Ms. Rose will enjoy what she baked for her!”

The final present is.. A beautiful light blue dress!

“ Oh, this one’s from me. I spent a long time designing something that would suit the style of a model like Ms. Rose, and I have to say, I’m quite pleased with how it turned out! I hope that she finds the time to wear it at some point.”

After handing off the presents, Alice speaks once more.

“ Thank you very much for allowing me to give these gifts for Ms. Rose. BittASweetZ wishes her a very happy birthday. With that, I’ll take my leave. Thank you for allowing me a moment of your time, and please, extend my greetings to Mr. Douglas and Mr. Young if you can, farewell.”

And with that, the young designer left, smiling to herself.

“Great, I wasn’t too awkward back there! Now, about a way back home..”

( from @nakanodivision , Happy Birthday, Evelyn! )

Answering the door to his bar, Rashaad looked at his it was a young woman who looked familiar. Upon introducing herself, Rashaad gave an 'O' look on his face, before thanking the young woman for the gifts, promising to make sure the birthday girl in question received them. Evelyn was currently out with her boyfriend, and even Rashaad was unsure when they would return.

However, five minutes later, he looked as the door to the bar opened, revealing the birthday girl in question, followed behind by her boyfriend.

"Good evening, Miss Rose." Rashaad stated, with a nod to her, and then one to Ace. "A young woman from Nakano stopped by and left some birthday gifts for you. I placed them in yours and Master Ace's room."

"Ohh! Thanks a lot, Rashaad!" Evelyn shouted before running upstairs to see what she had been given. A few seconds, both Ace and Rashaad jumped for perhaps the second or third time that day when a loud 'Eeee' was heard from upstairs. Taking that as a hint that she liked the gifts received, both men sighed and began talking before the woman in question returned downstairs, wearing the blue dress and earrings that she been given.

"How do I look, guys?" Evelyn asked, giving a twirl, a bright smile on her face.

"Beautiful as always, babe." Ace stated, giving her a thumbs-up.

"It suits you very nicely, Miss Rose." Rashaad added, nodding his head, once more.

"Aww! Thanks guys!" Evelyn asked, liking how she looked, herself. "Like, remind to send a 'thank you' to that woman, Rashaad! She and her friends have good taste!"

"Will do, Miss Rose."

[naradivision]

Summer was blooming in the quaint city of Nara, and the coming of summer also marks a very special birthday!

Three light knocks were heard at the door of Yuuya Kanata’s residence. When opened, a girl with red hair was standing in the doorway with a couple of parcels in her hands.

“Greetings, Yuuya -kun, I’m Alice Shiroka, from the Nakano Division, BittASweetZ. I’m here on behalf of my division to wish you a Happy Birthday, and to deliver some gifts! I sincerely hope you enjoy them.”

From Ririko, Yuuya recieved…

A pair of koi fish earrings!

“ This is our leader’s gift, she sends her thanks for the gift you gave on her birthday. She doesn’t know if you enjoy wearing earrings, but she said you looked like, “ The kinda guy who’d totally rock some cute earrings!”. I hope you decide to wear these one day, you indeed look like someone who’d “totally rock” in these.” She chuckles.

From Shu, Yuuya received..

Some orange daifuku!

“Shu told me that at summer festivals, they sell these desserts called “Daifuku”. She told me that they’re normally made with strawberries, but she wanted to try something a little different, and used some oranges instead. She gave me a sample to try, and they’re quite tasty, so I hope you enjoy eating them as well.”

And from Alice, Yuuya received..

A handmade jacket!

“ Oh, this one is mine. Since your birthday marks the beginning of summer, I wanted to make something that really encapsulated the season as a whole. It has some elements of a traditional yukata, and I did take some inspiration from them for this design. I do hope you find the time to wear this, it’d make me incredibly happy.”

After handing over the gifts, Alice wipes some wrinkles off her skirt.

“ Goodness, those packages did a number on my clothing! Ah, before I leave, there was something I wanted to ask..”

She looks down at her feet for a moment, before looking back up at Yuuya, visibly more shy.

“ Ririko told me that you and I are close in age, so I was wondering.. would you like to go on an outing sometime? Of course, y-you don’t have to! It’s just that I’d really enjoy getting to know someone who’s around my age..”

Alice laughs, mainly to ease the anxieties in her heart.

“What am I even saying? Apologies for such a forward request. I suppose i shall be off now. Happy Birthday, Yuuya - kun.”

and with that, the designer walks off, hoping that Nara’s leader didn’t notice how awkward that conversation was…

from @nakanodivision, Happy Birthday! 🎉

“Thank you for visiting, Shiroka-san! Also, could you please deliver my thanks to your teammates that I’m deeply moved by their thoughtfulness? I’ll definitely take good care of your and your team’s presents.”

Yuuya nodded as he helped the red-haired girl carry the parcels off her slightly wobbly hold.

He did recognize Alice. She was the member of Nakano Division whom he and his teammate had ever sent the birthday presents to some time ago. Actually, it surprised him a bit that she remembered his birthday.

“And about what you asked earlier, apparently I think I know quite a number of people that happen to be around our ages —So, would you mind if I ask them to have you join our hangout next time? Most of them are my former schoolmates and members of my clubs, therefore, you don’t need to be so nervous! I assure you that they are all nice and I’m sure they would be happy to meet you too.”

Despite how outgoing he seemed as a person, Yuuya deeply felt for people who were struggling to approach or make friends with others since he could also easily imagine how frustrating it was to be surrounded by many but still feeling like never belonged to anywhere. Besides, Alice did remind him of some people he has befriended, like… That one bashful animal lover who had finally reached the eldest year at the school he used to attend. This one was totally a good kid. It would be nice if he could know more of good friends.

And to give it some thought, he remembered catching a rumor that this boy appeared to be in trouble by a certain person who also happened to be one of his acquaintances as of late. As his senior who wasn’t sure what was really going on on his little junior’s side, maybe he should try finding some chance to invite him for one chill day-out with his group too. Plus, if what his hunch told was true; hopefully, he thought it would be the best to keep his another junior away from this boy for a while. Because, yeah, that one’s tendency was kind of something he should better keep an eye on...

Back to the present, Yuuya bidded farewell to the red-haired girl from Nakano when he saw she was going to leave.

“Goodbye and take care, Shiroka-san. Let’s say see you again next time then!”

—Goldfishes, fruity desserts, and traditional-style haori? Thinking about their choice of selection again and he had to admit that their presents had literally done such a stunning job to portray the vivid theme of summer festival. Seriously, those girls from Nakano had got quite a wonderful idea for this, thus it made some part of him wonder if he could come up with some striking ideas for his newly assigned project from university too…

Getting a bit carried away, soon the birthday boy had got back to his usual spot in his father’s room where his computer was still open on the desk. And just as he looked at its way, suddenly, he was met by a pair of familiar gleaming reds that had already stared at him.

“Hmm. Looks like you’re having fun, human.”

Only a glimpse of ANGE’s face was visible above the lower frame of his computer and there was nothing wrong in her tone of voice, but well…

To him, it was needless to see her whole expression for telling that his cybernetic roommate was currently sulking.

—Thanks for the gifts!

(And Sorry for the very late reply! Well, there were some left in the query!)

“ God, it’s my birthday again.. don’t get me wrong, I’m happy, but why did it have to be in the middle of summer? So damn hot…”

“ You know, I honestly didn’t think I’d make it to my twenties, with the way my life had been up until my teens.. But hey, look at me now, a 23 year old, heh.”

Voice Lines

“ I wanted to put on the nicest things I owned today, it is kinda special. It’s kind of crazy, I’m a full grown adult with a lot of money saved, and a collared dress and cardigan are the nicest things in my closet..Not that I’m complaining, these are pretty comfy…”

” My little sister decided to bake me a cake with my mom’s help. She told me it was grape flavored, and it even had a pretty wonky “ Happy Birthday Sis” on top. With the way her eyes shined when she handed me a slice, I couldn’t bear to tell her that I couldn’t taste any of the supposed grape, and that she burned the bottom layer a bit..”

“ Ririko, what’s that in your hands? Don’t tell me that it’s another one of the perfumes that you model for… Huh? A lavender scented sleep mist? Ah, I’ve been meaning to get a mist for a while, heard it helps you sleep. Thanks, Ririko. As a reward, I won’t call you an old lady anymore, heh.”

“ Alright, Kid, what did you make me this time? Ah, you didn’t make this jacket? It’s alright, Alice. I know how hard you work on your designs, and if I’m gonna be honest with you, anything that you or Ririko give me, handmade or not, is more than enough to satisfy me.”

Ririko Voiceline

“ Heyy, birthday girl! Can’t believe you’re 23 now, you’re practically an old lady! Haha, I’m joking, I’m joking! Listen, I know about your whole insomnia thing, and I always wanted to see how I could help out, so… I got you a sleep mist! Lavender’s one of your favorite scents, isn’t it? Nah, don’t bother thanking me, Shu, that’s what friends are for, hehe!”

Alice Voiceline

“Happy Birthday, Shu - senpai! You made such amazing home baked goods for my birthday, so it’s quite a shame that I have to give you something so..unworthy. Well..it’s a jacket. I know you may have a lot of long sleeved apparel in your closet, and I apologize, but, I couldn’t think of anything that suited you better than a nice, fluffy jacket! I-I may have used up my paycheck on buying this, hehe..”

A Confusion of Weasels

Entry for @izunaweek

Day 2 - February 5: Rinne Tensei • Hunt • ASoIaF AU

This story is for @junsui4089, @dominaaurum and @kurakura0-0

@junsui4089 for incepting me with the idea of Izuna having weasel summons, @dominaaurum for telling me that a weasel taking down prey larger than them is doing a war dance, and @kurakura0-0 for sending me a video of a least weasel hunting and hoarding mice.

@kurakura0-0 then said the magic words:

Hmmmm would there be anything that Izuna would like to horde?

And from that question, this story was born.

Thank you so much, all of you!

Hikaku winces as Kikiyo levels an accusing stare at him.

She gestures at Izuna-sama's back emphatically, and Hikaku raises his hands to the heavens in reply. Izuna-sama may be his best friend, but he has no idea what they're doing either. And if she expects him to exercise any control over their clan heir, she is very much mistaken.

Not even Madara-sama can do that.

They may be heading towards the battlefield to fight, but none of them know why. It's not over water rights, or fields, or trade routes or missions. It's not even about vengeance and the shed blood of the clan.

Frankly, no one except for Izuna-sama and Madara-sama really fight anymore, most of the Uchiha merely defending themselves and waiting for the inevitable call to retreat as soon as Izuna-sama has stolen his latest prize.

This entire situation is in the laps of the gods and he washes his hands of it. He communicates as much to her with silent swearing, and has the pleasure of seeing her roll her eyes.

She spent a week in company with Izuna-sama's rival once while they were both at the daimyo's court - just one week! - and came back with the habit. It's amazing how fast it's spread through the clan. Hikaku is just waiting for the day when he will catch Izuna-sama doing it and then he will laugh and laugh.

Still, though he is safe from observation by Madara-sama as he follows in the man's footsteps, it won't do to be delayed simply because he was sharing his frustrations with Kikiyo.

He quickens his footsteps.

He does want to see Izuna-sama's fight after all.

— December 5th —

“Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.”

Login Lines

“Today, I truly celebrate becoming an adult. It’s nerve wracking, I must admit, but I’m ready for this new chapter of my life to begin.”

“As per tradition, I designed my outfit myself. I wanted something that reminded me about my childhood, and I wanted to reflect on it with pride.”

“ This year, Shu and Ririko took me out to a wonderful cafe! They said I could order whatever I felt like, but I wanted something we could all enjoy, so I ordered us all three slices of cake. I hope those two understand just how much they mean to me..”

” The weight of this new age hasn’t quite hit me yet, if I’ll be honest. In my head, I’m still that confused ten year old girl who didn’t know any Japanese. But, I know that adulthood is a responsibility everyone must take on at some point in their lives.”

“ Ririko- Senpai, are you truly willing to give up one of your bracelets for me? I’m nothing special, even if it is my birthday, those mean a lot to you, don’t they? You..You feel I’m more deserving of it? Well, I’m honored to receive such high praise from our leader.”

“Shu-Senpai, you excel at baking, has anyone ever told you that? This fruit tart is spectacular! The glaze on the top isn’t overly sweet, so it truly brings out the flavor of the fruits themselves! Next time, when your birthday rolls around, I want to bake you something.”

Other’s Voice Lines

“ Well, hello there, Ms. Adult! You know, I always thought you were the most mature out of the three of us, but the day’s finally come where I can finally treat you maturely! Here, to commemorate the occasion, your gift is one of my prized bracelets! Hey, don’t sweat it, Alice! You deserve it, after all you’ve done for the team!”

“ Did you enjoy your teenage years like I told you to, kid? Good, because now comes the real challenge. Hey, don’t worry too much about it, you’ll push through, I know it. I know you aren’t that big of a fan of overly sweet things, so I just made you a fruit tart. You like it? I’m glad. Happy Birthday, kid.”

[nakanodivision]

😍 - Ririko

💔 - Shu

🌹 - Alice

😍 = Does your muse have any crushes? If so, who are they? 

Oh, boy, Ririko’s had a LOT of crushes, but she never enacted on them because she was too shy. Now, Ririko does have a massive crush on someone at the moment, but, she’s too embarrassed to tell everyone, so their identity’s a secret! But, what I can tell you is that she’s crushing on a fellow division leader.. you’ll just have to guess who >:)

💔 = Has your muse ever been heartbroken? If so, explain what happened. 

Shu hasn’t been heartbroken. She kind of always knew she didn’t like being in relationships, so she never bothered entering one. Though, she’s been an unfortunate victim of Ririko’s heartbreaks, and oh boy, were those a doozy. Shu’s waiting for Ririko to work up the courage to ask her crush out, lol

🌹 = How would your muse react to romantic gestures, expected or not? 

Alice would be composed, but extremely grateful. Although she’s been shown many acts of chivalry and gentlemanly gestures before, if she received those from a partner, to her, it would take on a whole new meaning. Although she’s very composed and well mannered, she’ll find a way to thank her partner, be it returning the gesture or by getting them a gift :)

[nakanodivision]

🌷, all three!

🌷 = Is your muse likely to be the one to make the first move, or would they wait for the other to make a move first? 

Ririko would probably wait for someone else to make the first move. But, that’s just because she’s a little shy when it comes to romance! It’s quite silly to think that someone with such a confident persona gets all shy when love’s involved <3

I’ve mentioned this before, but Shu is aroace so she doesn’t really do relationships, but I can twist this into something more platonic. When she wants to get to know someone, she’s more likely to make the first move, introducing herself, planning hangouts etc. If Shu wants to be friends with someone, you bet she’ll take the initiative!

Alice would likely make the first move. If she’s romantically interested in someone, she’ll flat out say it to them and ask them out on a date. She’s pretty confident in herself, so it’ll reflect in how she courts someone. And yes, she does believe in courting lol
