Prose Alchemist

Title: An Ounce of Prevention
Author: jordannamorganArchive Rights: Please request the author’s consent.
Rating/Warnings: Mild PG for talk of zombie threats.
Characters: Sukari, Kajika, Kurusu, Kibito.
Setting: Probably sometime before episode five.
Summary: Soap can be as noble a weapon as a sword.
Disclaimer: They belong to Kabaneri Committee and other relevant parties. I’m just playing with them.
Notes: Written for the prompts of “Washing” at fan_flashworks, “Underestimate” at smallfandomflsh, and “Co-Workers” at genprompt_bingo. This was inspired by the scene where Kajika reproves Kurusu for his dirty hands, but I’ve developed her motivation beyond merely preserving civilized manners, because… well, the practical reasons should be extremely obvious. (Also, a reader wanted to see more of the potential dynamics between the different social groups on the Kotetsujo. I very much agree, so here is my take on bushi-steamsmith relations.)

( It was as predictable as the sunrise. )

Characters: Kibito, Takumi, Kajika, Ikoma, Mumei, assorted rabble.
Setting: During episode three.

Disclaimer: They belong to Kabaneri Committee and other relevant parties. I’m just playing with them.
Notes: Written for the prompts of “Feed” at fan_flashworks, and “What They Become” at ficlet_zone.

( Through the heavy steel hatch of the Kotetsujo’s last passenger car, dull noises of a scuffle grew clearer as Kibito approached. )
