[Why is he even asking, he was around in the Shinsengumi long enough to know their typical meals...
Anyway, where there are Embarrassing Things happening, there is Kashuu, not letting it go. Of course!! Hijikata can't catch a break as long as at least one Okitagumi is here. He leans forward a little, scrutinizing Hijikata's face. Maybe he's looking for wrinkles?]
—You know you can do stuff to keep yourself from getting bored without moving around a lot, right?
then its time for ur napnap... go to the nap nap corner
What... Fish, and rice... A vegetable. Sometimes we make stew - it really depends on who has cooking duties, but I always made sure it was balanced. Shouldn't you know that, or something? It just maybe didn't look pretty...
[ he's onto you Kashuu.
ugh... but once a menace always a menace! he only shoots Kashuu a glare and pushes the end of his brush against his forehead, instead, this time with the intention to push him away - personal space Kashuu. gosh! but with a raised eyebrow: ]
Enlighten me then.
[ kind of being sarcastic but maybe he's actually curious? teach him the secrets, Kashuu. please, he's dying of boredom. boredom will be his cause of death than Hakodate at this rate. ]
Yeah, that sounds pretty much exactly like what I remember. Boring!
[How did they move from "healthy and well-balanced food" to "food that's exciting and cute" in terms of judgment... Oh, because Kashuu is involved. A TRUE MENACE.
He may briefly be pushed back by the brush, but he's not deterred for long and he's in Hijikata's space again soon enough. This time, with his CereVice!]
Here! There are all kinds of games you can play, y'know? Konpeito Crunch is Mutsu's favorite. Or- Oh! There are forums! [He'll go onto whatever version of google they have here and look up "HAIKU FORUM"...
Well, it was balanced and good for you, and that's that.
[ inb4 Hijikata sounds like one of those parents that want his kids to eat all their vegetables... and not waste food. you know the kind. but look, Hijikata's pretty healthy! if you throw out the smoking at least, so of course he knows what he's doing with food - despite not really being a master chef. he gets by!
but it looks like Kashuu isn't going to give up!!! how annoying! this is what he gets for allowing a Souji Sword(TM) into his room. of course, leave it to Kashuu to shove more things into his face in which Hijikata can only scowl at the screen. ah, yes... games. ]
Konpeito? Isn't that a kind of candy? [ he feels like he knows more about sweets than he really needs to... Thanks Kondou-san.
and forums? online? okay, sure, Hijikata was able to get use to the CereVice's texting app, but he never really looked at anything online yet (so... Kashuu managed to pique his curiosity and its sticking for now! congratulations Kashuu). ]
I'm not sure if I really understand the point of either... [ he's getting too old for this... ]
[Swords were starving under your roof, Hijikata!! Not even eating Souji's soy-sauce veggies!
But, more importantly - games. And also this weird forum.]
Mmhm! But the game is basically just matching up pieces of candy before your time limit runs out. It's pretty fun. [Even Kashuu can admit that...
BUT UGH, THIS OLD GRANDPA. Time to show him the world of the internet... But with less bullying this time.]
It's basically like, the virtual equivalent of being in a room with a bunch of other people who like the things you like, and you all have discussions! Only it can be better- [OR WORSE] -'cause no one knows who you are. See?
[Handing his CereVice over! Look at all that riveting discussion about... haikus.]
[ oh true. he has a point. Hijikata forgets the swords are swords something when they actually look like people??? so, like natural, he treats them... like people instead. so... ... ... eat your vegetables kashuu. ]
It sounds really simple.
[ maybe you should introduce Hijikata to a different game.
but! THE INTERNET! will Hijikata finally start his life of poetry blogging now? maybe, maybe not - that's the mystery because he still thinks the internet is kind of weird but he won't complain! ]
Isn't that the same thing like publishing a book just with a different name?
[ ah yes... just up his alley! it doesn't sound too bad actually... ]
[STOP YOU'RE NOT HIS REAL DAD you can't tell him to eat his veggies!! NO VEGGIES. A rebel sword.]
It is, but it's super fun to play. Just trust me! [He'll find this game and text it to Hijikata when he does though, rest assured.
But the comparison - a very apt one - earns him a little nod! Hijikata sure would know all about publishing anonymous works under ridiculous pen names, huh.]
Right, basically! Just with less fuss, since basically all you do is type it up and hit "send".
[ you won't get anything else until you eat your veggies Kashuu!!! be a good sword wtf. don't you wanna be healthy? ]
Is this what you do on your spare time? [ playing... ... ... games... ] It sounds kind of pointless.
[ why play games in bed when he can work in bed? BUT... ]
Hmm... That doesn't sound too bad. Although, it would feel just a bit weird not writing it out like usual. [ he works hard with his penmanship? his Hogyoku book is filled with lots of pages of horrible poetry but at least it looks pretty!? ]
Sometimes! It's fun. I use my spare time for other things though, usually. [99% of his free time is dedicated to SOCIALIZING!! So clearly Hijikata would just burn up into little samurai crispies if he tried to live in Kashuu's shoes for a day.]
You could probably get a tablet or something so you could write it out like an old man. [Why is he so rude...] But it's way faster to just type stuff out.
he would never want to live in Kashuu's shoes... in Kashoes... It sounds like a nightmare, he has too many friends, and he does too many weird things. too weird!!! sign him out! ]
Never really heard of that either. Also don't call me old.
[ how does Kashuu know about... all this technology. ] Is there anything else you do when you're stuck in the house?
[ oh, yeah. he remembers. ] Those... What were they called- it started with a 'b' I think. [ you know. the blog. THAT KASHUU USED TO RUIN HIJIKATA'S REPUTATION!!!! ]
[Yes please eat socializing, it might do you some good Hijikata.]
You're pretty old. [JUST SAYING. Though he actually means it in a "the time period you're from" sense and not a "the years you have" sense...]
Eh? What, blogs? [LIKE HIS. HAHA, good times.] Usually I update mine if I'm stuck inside, or I just look at the stuff other people have posted or scroll through the network to find someone to talk to. You can text people, too! [See. It's just all socializing... All of it.]
But I've baked a few things too, once or twice. That's just being stuck in the house and not stuck on bedrest, though.
[ NO... can you imagine this man socializing. like, socializing more than he usually does - like a normal person... like... like Kashuu... he can't!? ]
You can say that one more time but I'll make sure it'll be the last time you say it.
[ he's... taking it in the "the years you have" sense, sorry Kashuu. he sighs. he'd really rather spend time learning how to cook instead of being stuck in bed... at least it'd benefit him somehow!? although, he can't really imagine himself cooking, but hey - that's why you learn! ]
I would do the latter if a certain someone would let me get out of bed. [ he's technically not even suppose to be out right now... OOPS. so now, Hijikata puts down the brush he was holding, tidies up some papers and begins kind of, er, scooting back to his futon!? he's trying. he doesn't want to accidentally bend his leg weird or hit it. ]
Hmm... [ contemplating this... ] It sounds interesting enough, but does everything you do have to use the network? [ he has trauma (not really) from when Kashuu doxxed his poems on the network. trauma. ]
You should be supporting people who tell the truth, y'know! Vice-captain virtues or something!
[Just accept that you're elderly, Hijikata... Elderly and incapable of socializing. Or even healing properly! Geez! He's tired and he's not even the one who has to babysit this punk.
But he'll get out of the way when Hiji starts to scoot back over to his futon, at least... An A for effort.]
If you rest up now, you won't be in bed as long, probably. [Probably...] But no! It's only like that if I can't actually go anywhere or do anything myself.
Maybe I would if you weren't insulting me? Here's one virtue: respect.
[ two can play it at the sass game, Kashuu. he won't accept that he's elderly... no one has to know about how his legs get tired fast and his back hurts sometimes? he misses Harada. he was so good at massages. damn. ]
Hmm... Even so... [ a sigh. okay! he's in his bed now, it does kind of feel more comfortable being on a comfy bed then at his desk. still hates being stuck like this though.
well, he stops himself from continuing on with that thought. he was about to complain more, honestly, about how much he dislikes feeling as if he can't do nothing like this ... though, this only happened at the cost of protecting someone... so maybe it's not all that bad? maybe he should think of it like that. ]
Hm. It's nothing. [ SO MOVING ON. ] Enough about me. Is everything okay? [ as in are You okay, Kashuu. Is the Swordhouse okay... that stuff. sure, Kashuu is always so uppity... but he has to make sure, you know? ]
[He'll just finish that phrase for you there, Hijikata... He doesn't even think he's that old?! Still just a baby when compared to even the youngest sword...! But now it's become like a game to him so of course he can't let it go. HE'S GOTTA WIN.
But with Hijikata back in bed safe and sound and not risking his little broken leg anymore, Kashuu will scoot over to the side of it, still apparently intent on pestering him and inflicting his unwanted company on his poor ailing self.]
Eh, really? "It's nothing" after all that griping? [He'll call this punk out on it... But ah, that's a sweet question. He'll do the favor of answering it seriously, then.]
—Some of 'em are still having a hard time, but they're all strong, so it'll be fine. No one came back with heavy damage this time, at least.
pls have mercy puts u in the flames of hell so theres no freezing
If you're saying that, you're implying you're old therefore I should be the one calling you old - am I right?
[ do you really want to fight this Kashuu... he might be old, but he has sarcasm for days! which might not even sound like sarcasm because when Hijikata jokes he usually sounds pretty serious, and there's always that sharp tongue of his... tread carefully.
he only lets out a huff. ] Unless you want me to complain more, then I will. I'm surprised you want to even hear more of it.
[ BUT WHATEVER... that sounds ... mostly good? at least. he doesn't know most of the swords, so that's that. ]
And you? [ gosh Kashuu. the question went for everything... including you... gosh! ]
I mean, I am old. But I look really good for my age, right?
[Now he's just being a pisshead because he can...]
Anyway! I'm saying respect is for the elderly, probably. ["Probably". Everyone on their squad respects Nagasone too though and he's a wee little baby sword... Unlike poor Kanesada, the Eternally Bullied.]
You can complain as much as you want! If you keep all your complaints inside, you'll probably explode.
[What exactly does he think of Hijikata... BUT STOP, PUNK. He was intentionally trying to dodge around that!! Even though his answer comes easily, anyway:]
I'm fine! Kousetsu made cookies and Mikazuki finally came out of his room, so it's been good.
gh you make me tired
[Why is he even asking, he was around in the Shinsengumi long enough to know their typical meals...
Anyway, where there are Embarrassing Things happening, there is Kashuu, not letting it go. Of course!! Hijikata can't catch a break as long as at least one Okitagumi is here. He leans forward a little, scrutinizing Hijikata's face. Maybe he's looking for wrinkles?]

Wow, they seriously have one.
