Schmittchen | Toshirou Hijikata

[mayoninofukucho]

Contact: This journal or schmoechen#2732 on Discord! I keep forgetting to mention this, but I'm also on the Avalon Discord server, so I'll see it if you ping me there, but it's a little overwhelming for me, so I'm not usually around.

Character Name: Toshirou Hijikata
Canon: Gintama
Info: Hijikata is the mayonnaise-obsessed, situationally hot-headed or cool-headed vice-commander of the Tokugawa shogunate's special police force, the Shinsengumi, in 19th century Edo. His world got invaded by aliens (Amanto), so he's used to the strangest things happening and took getting isekai'd to Avalon in stride, all the more since it was already the second time (he's a Prismatica CRAU). I have his first impressions post here and more information here!

Magics & Familiar: Elemental & Death | Crow Tengu (Arashi) - more information on both here!
Desired CR: Anything - I know, but really!!

Known Plans: In terms of TDM prompts he won't quite Take to the Skiesish because that bubble bar is so suspect! He'll still go along to protect the traders and everyone else on the way, though, so if anyone wants to ride with him, let me know. Journeys are always an opportunity to chat! Also if anyone needs grounding to not float away or wants to blurt out any truths at Hijikata or tell him a lie to get a fairy coin out of their eyes, count me in! Usually he'd want to avoid all the questionable stuff that's part of the Fall of the Guardian (because seriously, burning undead creatures, boiling their ashes and becoming a vessel for a spirit wasn't on his agenda!), but as a death mage he keeps pushing himself out of his comfort zone even if it's hard. I think I'll skip the capturing of the undead since I'm already sending him to Lestari, but upon returning to Camelot he'll volunteer for the branding (that's easier for him than waiting on someone; he'd make for a shoddy servant). He won't really think he needs a caretaker, but if anybody would like to look after him, by all means!

This month it's Hijikata's turn to sit on the "My CR left..." swing! Of course he already lost several friends over time because that's just how it goes, but for the most part they were either new people he first met here on Avalon, or, if he knew them from Prismatica, they were from different timelines and couldn't remember (read: either non-CRAUs or different accounts with different muns), and this time it was Riou, who he was pretty close to on Prismatica and who did remember. So Hijikata will be moping around in Riou's camp and live there for a while (which also means that his caretaker would stay at the camp with him... whoohoo, campfire bonding time!). Other friends of Riou's are welcome to come by and wonder what the non-HypMic is doing there, or else people just wandering around can either mope with him or listen to his totally legitimate excuses for the sudden camping fever.

I won't allow him to be a sadsack for too long, though, so while he's out there in the wilderness he'll get a surprise visit from an armoured archaeopteryx that's been watching him for a while (they like knights!). He'll be a little bewildered and request help from an animal mage (and while he won't know right away he'll also need a bargaining mage). If he has a caretaker with either magic type, all the better.

Quest-wise I don't have any fixed plans, but Hijikata is relatively easy to rope into shananigans, so if you'd like him for any of them hit me up!! He'll be keeping an eye out for the troublemaker reenacting movie fights, so if anyone is attacked he can save their butt, but he'll have to be prompted to engage in the sheep shearing or knights rescue (though the latter is arguably part of his job; this is kind of an unlawful imprisonment situation!). On the dark web side of things (he has access again; thanks Rei!) he definitely won't be willing to help Kymbyr and Yanira (that prison time is deserved!) or the anthropophagus (he doesn't know what anthropophagi are, but that blood ritual sounds super dubious!), but he may be roped into the unicorn quest either way (doing it or trying to prevent it - he doesn't know very much about unicorns).

Other: I didn't tag out much last month because I had several successive deadlines at work, but now I'm back on track and ready to go!

Hey! So I really like the potential of Hijikata and Jyushi. I haven't dropped the thread either but right now I'm slowly trying to catch up from my hiatus but Jyushi was going to Riou's to learn transformations so he could run into Hijikata and they can meet under far more normal circumstances.

[mayoninofukucho]

I'd really like that! Jyushi is such a sweetheart, and his relationship with Riou was so cute from what I saw of their threads... they can miss him together! While Hijikata can't really help with the animal magic he's absolutely willing to buddy up with Jyushi on the death magic front. Honestly, it may help him feel less gloomy if he can "senpai" Jyushi a little in Riou's stead, haha.

On the tagging front, don't worry, take it easy!! They're probably about to head off to safety, so if it helps you we can leave it at something along the lines of "We should study together one of these days" in a few tags.

[plenilunium]

That'd be really cute! He knows this One advanced thing that his teammate made him learn and that is it. But them learning together and bonding over Riou is so cute...

Yeah, I figured as such! I was hoping that they could become training buddies so I'm happy.

[mayoninofukucho]

I got my post up here! There's no rush at all, though; take the time you need!

SO... HELLO Schmittchen. I'm so sorry I had to drop 2B so suddenly but I would love to get some CR with him and Tifa, because I did enjoy him a lot!

Tifa will be going along on the trip to Lestari! She'll be pretty suspicious of the bubble bar too, but might actually try one of two of them out of curiosity, so that might be a fun chance for them to meet. :D

[mayoninofukucho]

Ahhhh, I'm always out of the loop, I didn't realise yet that 2B was gone... Hijikata will miss her; he really liked her and felt comfortable around her despite only knowing her for a short time. But I understand, and I'm all for him meeting Tifa!!

Having their first run-in at the bar in Lestari really should be fun, whether he needs to be her anchor for a bit, or she ends up telling him some secret unintentionally, or he frets on the ground if she gets attacked by giant bats up there! I'll put up my post soonish, but if you're making one too I'll gladly tag in there.

[starshower]

It's okay!! It happened very suddenly, and I meant to PM you to let you know about our thread, and then everything else happened all at once lmao, ahh life.

SO here I am and now I want to make sure I grab some CR with him and Tifa! But I'm saving an open thing for the event hopefully, so I'll keep a lookout for your post and toss her there! 💖

[mayoninofukucho]

That's just how it goes sometimes, alas. In any case I got my post up here! I hope the first prompt works, but otherwise just let me know and I'll tweak things no problem.
