The 100th Day

A Piece of Cake (Thursday PM 12/9)

Shenanigan in the Market (Sat 12/4 – PM)

Old Wolf, Old Tricks (12/4/1887) Saturday Mid-morning

After everyone’s done with dinner and cleaning up to eventually go to bed, I asked my niece Yukiko to meet with me in the formal…
In Glass and Steel
I don’t frequent this place much. It’s not my home but it is a place I escape to even if the story here isn’t any…
A Friend in Need (12/2/1886 Evening)
“Thanks for agreeing to do this Fujita-san.” I nod. Looking at the map. It’s covers most of the usual areas I used to patrol, starting…
Back to the House (Evening Dec 1st)
It was time. Time to go home. Although I hesitate to call it as mine these days. The teahouse owner who knew the other -me-…
A Time for Sleep
Hajime: It’s harder in this city to take a woman who is passed out and not be questioned, so what did I end up doing?…
Going Home Again
Saitou:When we get back to Tokyo, I had the carriage stop at the office and instructed Hide’s shadow to stay put in the carriage. I…
Homeward (Afternoon)
Saitou:I look at the watch. I can’t stand looking at that shadow, anymore than I can stand looking at her scars and the way she…
By the Hill side
I asked for him and his father said yes. To them it was at the spur of the moment but for me, not so. We…
A Shaky Start
Akane: “I’ll be making breakfast.” I say as I remove my zori to shake off the slight dusting of snow as I enter the house…
Ueda’s House
Ueda: It was with much surprise that I find myself having guests this evening. They brought dinner – a chinese carp dish- and so I…
A Bumpy Train Ride
We get to the train station in separate rickshaws. I secured our tickets for the coach area. It’s a personal trip so I couldn’t possibly…
A Piece of Paper (After Midnight)
I was more tired than I expected but I want to tell my son because he deserves to know. And who knows what will come…
A Little Help (Evening)
I spent the entire day at the home ministry and didn’t have time to stop by the office but I did send Kawaji-san a note…
Night Time Rest
It’s late when I get to the house after stopping by the hospital to visit with Tenma. I rub the new puncture on my neck…
A Very Odd Invite…
Not in a billion years would I have imagined being invited into Saitou’s bedroom. Well it’s Yagi-san’s bedroom too. I step inside trying not to…
Old Sword Shop (Afternoon)
We’re done. I think whatever there was left, is gone or should be left alone. Like -this- place. And yet here it all still -is-.…
Anti-Procrastinator (Mid-morning)
I had no plans to get back today. I was looking at that watch to change times but it dragged like it was stuck for…
A Man of Contradictions
Goro:I told him to wake me but the damn doctor decided to let me sleep. I wanted to know what he did, to keep me…
Not Keeping it Together
It’s past lunch time. I had no appetite again but at least my administrative work is done and I’m once again having to take care…
The Future
Tomu:I’m alone on the top of the roof. Midori didn’t come today either. Why? I go ahead and start on the brownie that Misao-chan brought…
Unwanted “Updates”
A letter? Curious and hoping it was from Yae, I tear up the envelope. I’m flattened a bit when I see who it’s from. Someone…
Mundane things at the Market
Aioi: Yesterday was wonderful… Is that what “normal” should feel like? I could get used to it. So maybe that’s why I told him not…
At the Precinct (Morning to Mid-afternoon)
Saitou: All morning inspection assignments done, I slam the appointment book and throw it to the clerk downstairs. “Any questions can be sent up to…
Good Morning!
Saitou: I slept enough so I got up and decide to start my day. After cleaning up I take my borrowed sword and was just…
Tatami Room (Night)
I retired to the tatami room after dinner. When Tsutomu made the mistake of entering the room earlier, I had sent him away. He can…
Securing the Tanto
Saitou:I turned in Okita’s tanto to the preservation evidence section of the TMPD, but hers I kept. Unsheathing her tanto I watch the blade. Always…
Evidence (Morning)
So much for a respite. I thought, I’d finally be able to go to sleep last night. But it was another rough night, just like…
Comfort Woman
Aioi: “Yo.” He stands by the door and tips his hat with that idiotic grin of his. It’s been a few days since he’s shown…
The First Visit (Mid-morning)
Saitou: We take a carriage to the house. “I knew you’d come around.” He tells me as we get off the carriage. “Good sir. Just…
Afternoon-Evening-Night
“So let me get this straight, you want surveillance and protection at this address 24/7?” Kawaji gives me a stern look. He knows it’s the…
An Extraordinary Man
Touché. So he managed to get a letter out to Howard but two can play that game. “Look sharp!” I bark at the mail carrier.…
Aide-memoire
I came home late again eventhough I told them I’d be home in time for dinner, but the Umeshu that I ordered had come later…
Futaba Hallways
Tsutomu: I heard she didn’t get in trouble for breaking curfew. That’s good. But I haven’t been able to talk to her in what feels…
Detours
I spent the afternoon pouring over some paper work. I buried myself in it so much today that I was able to finish a chapter…
Morning with a Baby
I woke up early that morning and left Hide’s side as the sun was barely peeking through the window. Getting a fresh shirt on, I…
