Hakuouki Blogs!: Special!


Azure: Hello everybody! It's time for... A HAKUOUKI BLOGS SPECIAL! YAY!

Ignescent: WOOP WOOP

Heisuke: Oh! Admin, you were able to borrow some computers and the wifi again?

Azure: Yep! Although, to be honest, we're not going to be needing it very much in these two chapters.

Saito: ...Why?

Azure: Well, of course we're going to talk and all, but we're going to be playing two games I learned when I went to visit my cousins! Two of them work in a daycare like I do, and we played two games that, heck, even the adults were cracking up at. So, I thought we could play these games together to help calm your nerves

Sano: Hmmm, games huh? Sounds interesting. What games are we going to be playing?

Ignescent: That's a surprise ( owo)

Hijikata: You can't tell us the names?

Azure: Not now, but I will tell you later!

Souji: Ehh?~ I'm going to kick all of your asses

Azure: Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if you did. Anyway, here we go!

Look_at_my_sexy_self: Me on the other hand, I want to learn all sorts of Western games! What are we playing?!

The_awesome_admin: Sheesh calm down. Terra, you want to explain?

Ignescent: do i h ave to

The_awesome_admin: Preferably, yes. Why is your writing so... lazy?

Ignescent: y iz urs writn prettily an w/ careefulnesss

The_awesome_admin: ...I actually don't know. Oh my god. Um...

TheViceCommander: Mid-life crisis?

The_awesome_admin: I'M NOT THAT OLD. Anyway, Terra, please explain the game we will be playing. And type nicely.

Ignescent: Fine. So the game we will be playing today is "Sausage"

Heisuke_epicness: ...S...a...u...s...a...g...e...

Saito_Hajime: What is this... sausage, you speak of?

Ignescent: Oh my god let me look it up. But mainly, it's meat.

Ignescent: Okay, here is a better definition of sausage, courtesy to google answers: "Sausage is a cylindrical length of minced and seasoned pork, beef, or other meat encased in a skin, typically sold raw to be grilled, boiled, or fried before eating."

ChizuruYukimura:): There's a game named after... sausage? I want to try and cook some for you guys.

The_awesome_admin: Guys, we're getting off track. So now, I will explain how to play this game.

The_awesome_admin: Okay, so first, you need to choose one person from the group to stand up in front of everyone else. Then, the others from the group have to ask the person standing questions. They can be anything! "Why do you wet the bed?" or "What's your girlfriend's name?" are some examples. But again, it can be anything! The person standing up can only reply "Sausage" to those questions without smiling or laughing. If they smile or laugh, they lose, and the person who got them out has to be the one to stand at the front. However, if ten questions are asked and the person standing has not smiled or laughed, they get to choose who goes up.

The_awesome_admin: And that's it! Any questions?

Kazama_the_superior_one: Can we play now?

Ignescent: So impatient. Fine we'll play


Game: Sausage

Round 1

(We will now change to third person point of view)


Ten people sat in a circle in the infamous Shinsengumi compound. These ten people consisted of Azure the admin, Saito Hajime, Okita Souji, Yukimura Chizuru, Hijikata Toshizou, Harada Sanosuke, Terra (Azure's friend), Kazama Chikage, Toudou Heisuke, and Nagakura Shinpachi.

Now, what are they doing, you might ask? These men - and the two female teenagers from the future - are about to start a game called "Sausage". Yes, it is a very interesting name for a game indeed, however, the game is a lot better then it sounds. I promise you.

Well, we should now pay attention to the conversation at hand.

"Alright, so who would like to go first?" Azure asked, her jubilant eyes scanning the crowd for any takers. But, there are none to be found. "Aww come on guys. I go through all the trouble to get here - I still don't know how I do - and you don't participate. Anyone? Please?"

Alas! There is a ray of hope! Heisuke timidly raises his hand as his friends and comrades stare at him.

"It's true," he mumbled, looking a bit embarrassed. "she did take the time to come over. Let's at least give this game a chance!" With a new, brighter attitude, Heisuke practically skipped over to center of the circle to compose himself. He wasn't suppose to smile or laugh after all. Once he did, round one of Sausage began.

Sanosuke was the first one to raise his hand to ask a question, a small, innocent smile playing on his lips. "Heisuke: What do you fight whenever there is trouble during your rounds?"

Upon hearing the question the baka trio member had asked him, Heisuke snorted a few times and bit the inside of his cheek to save himself from laughing aloud. "Uh... sausage." He barely managed to reply as Sano gave a disappointed frown.

The next person to raise her hand was Terra, who instead of Sano, had a devious grin on her face that made Heisuke tremble. "Yes... Terra?" Terra gave a light laugh before asking her question. "Why does Shinpachi take so long going to the restroom?"

There it was. The golden question that got everyone laughing until their ribs cracked. Heisuke had lost, and even Hajime, Toshi, and Chikage were laughing at the known answer. Everyone laughed - except for Shinpachi, who was angry and rather embarrassed.

"...It's not funny!" He exclaimed as Heisuke wiped a tear from his eye. "Oh man... That was a good one Terra! Totally worth losing!" "So that's what takes you..." Toshi couldn't even finish his sentence as Shinpachi began shouting angrily at Terra.

"Alright alright, settle down!" Azure giggled one final time before taking a deep breath. "Since it was Terra's question that made Heisuke lose... It's Terra's turn!"

And so, as Heisuke returned to his seat, Terra stood up with utmost confidence as round two began.


Round 2

Terra


Before the questions began, Terra lightly smacked her cheeks to compose herself. Once ready, she nodded to everyone before Saito raised his hand.

"How is a katana made?" Terra blinked at his question before responding. "Uh... sausage?" She answered questioningly, clearly not finding the question funny. She scanned the circle until she caught sight of Chikage's hand being raised in the air. "Yes, Chikage?"

Chikage gave an evil smile before asking his question, expectant that Terra would lose. "Who is your crush?" Terra squinted at him before giving a lovey-dovey expression somewhere off in the distance. "Sausage..." She murmured dreamily before turning to look toward Chikage, who bore a very unhappy expression as Terra stuck her tongue out at him.

Regaining her original attitude, she turned to Souji, who now had his hand raised. "What causes Gin's *spoiler, spoiler, spoiler* in the movie 'Hotarubi no Mori e'?"

Terra gave a look of complete and utter shock as she desperately tried to hide the oh-so-obvious smile forming on her face. "S-Sau...sa..ge.." Eventually, she burst out laughing as Souji gave a look of victory.

"Souji, how do you even know that movie?" The teen asked between giggles. Her question was answered when she realized that Azure and Souji were sitting right next to each other before giving a high-five.

"Okita-san, that means it's your turn!" Chizuru replied happily as Souji stood up and walked to the center.

Round three had now begun.


Round 3

Souji


Immediately, Shinpachi raised his hand before Souji pointed at the sitting figure. "Souji - what did you tell Hijikata-san when he asked what your impressions were of Chizuru after that whole discussion?"

Souji gave a lazy shrug in turn before replying with "sausage". As a few people giggled, Toshi gave Shinpachi a disapproving look. "Who did you hear that from?" "Souji himself." Shinpachi replied as Toshi turned to glare at the man in the center.

"Don't worry Chizuru-chan! I didn't actually say that." He reassured Chizuru, who didn't seemed worried in the slightest. "Don't worry! We didn't know of... sausage back then. But what were your impressions of me?" The woman asked curiously as all gaze turned to Souji. "Eh, I thought you were cute." Came the answer from the man who gave a smirk in turn.

All at once, everyone smiled at Souji, who gave a puzzled look towards the people sitting in the circle. "...What? It's not like I have feelings for her or anything." "No, that's not it Souji." Azure gave a laugh as she glanced over in Hajime's direction. "You smiled."

It took a few moments before realization dawned on him. Souji - who had earlier looked very proud and confident - now gave a look of defeat as he trudged back to his seat.

"Well, technically, since it was Shinpachi who had asked the last question, it's his turn to go up." Azure told everyone as an excited Shinpachi jump up from his seat and made his way toward the center.

Round 4 was just beginning.


Round 4

Shinpachi


No one had raised their hands for a while, thinking of possible questions that would make Shinpachi lose. It wasn't long until Azure raised her hand with a hopeful expression painting her face.

"Azure?" Shinpachi asked as he indicated that it she was now allowed to ask her question. "What is Saito Hajime secretly afraid of?" Although not as loudly, everyone laughed as they imagined Hajime being afraid of sausage in their minds.

Shinpachi hadn't even tried to win - apparently it was too much as the baka trio member collapsed to the floor in tears.

Hajime at first had not appreciated this question, but since it made Shinpachi lose instantly, the samurai had decided to forgive Azure. For now.

Shinpachi didn't even have to be told that he lost. He stumbled back to his seat, threatening to lose control again if someone even mentioned "sausage" for the answer.


In the end, many more rounds of this game was played, with Hajime ending up the winner. Not to say that he didn't have a sense of humor - he was just, very literal about things.

Terra came in second, using acting as a strategy to not laugh by acting out her answer. For example, when Toshi had asked her what she always had nightmares about, she acted horrified before screaming the answer. This, according to the teenager, fills her head with acting out her answer correctly instead of thinking about how silly it was, claiming that "when actors and actresses act during the shooting of a film, they must forget about how silly or sad a line may be to finish the scene correctly."

Chikage came in third, surprisingly. His strategy? Well... thinking about killing humans. Don't ask why, it's probably not a good idea, but hey, if it worked, what am I to complain about?

Now... who came in dead last you wonder? That would be Azure. Because of her upbeat and carefree personality, she finds almost anything funny. For example, she's laughing as she writes this sentence. So, she lost every single round almost instantly.

At this point, everyone has finished with the game "sausage", and eagerly await the new game tomorrow. Azure and Terra shut down the computers before returning to their temporary room, looking forward to many great rounds of "Honey I Love You".


Azure: Hehe! So that was sausage! Feel free to play it if you want! Not that I created it.

Souji: What about your story "I Have Returned"? Aren't you going to work on that?

Azure: ...the worst possible thing has happened. I have writer's block.

Hijikata: ...

Azure: so, I decided to take a small break and work on this special. Hopefully after finishing the special, my writer's block will be gone. Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
