[OPEN] Ain't no stopping sunshine / Ain't no stopping me

[pure_radiantics]

Who: Kairi and OPEN
What: Catchall + Leo-Roxas Party Prep
When: All Month, but special prompts for July 1-2 (April 2nd-7th)
Where: The Far Shore, all over
Warnings: n/a

---
PROMPT A - All Month: Before 10am (with or without Hajime)
[ Kairi and Hajime have taken to jogging in the mornings. You could very easily flag one or both of them down to say "Hi!" You could also use it as an excuse to have your character stop by the Artemis-Baldr temple later on if they see Kairi and remember something else they want to talk about. ]

PROMPT B - July 1-2: Lunch & Early Afternoons (Nimbus Errands)
[ After Kairi's request for pictures of Roxas or Leo goes up, she'll be bouncing between picking them up, buying supplies, and checking in at Forrest's temple for his side of the party prep. How is she getting around so fast? By riding Goten's little orange cloud friend. This time she actually got permission to borrow it for the 48 hours immediately before the party, so that hopefully Roxas wouldn't notice how long she was gone just from all the walking!

Feel free to flag her down from her cloud or assume she's visiting your character for a party-related reason. ]

PROMPT C - July 1-2: Late Afternoons & Evenings (Party Prep at Baldr's Place)
[ Maybe you saw Sora's announcement about the Leo + Roxas party, or Kairi's BBS request for pictures. Or maybe you saw Kairi out jogging earlier, or riding around on Nimbus doing her errands.

The point is that after she gets that much accomplished, she'll be holed up in a locked room of the Baldr temple getting decorations ready and stocking some of the non-perishable snacks for the party. ]

PROMPT D - All Month (not July 1-2): Afternoons & Evenings (Training)
[ Kairi has mentioned more than once to more than one shinki about Spell training, and more than one god about Swordsmanship or Hand-to-Hand training. Why not follow up on her offer? They can go somewhere else entirely to train, it doesn't have to be the Artemis Temple. After all, they might bother the 17 deer and 1 bear and... all of the other animals hanging around. ]

PROMPT E - Artemis-Baldr Temple famjam CR
[ You may be interested in Kairi's other log where she regained one of her memories. Feel free to tag that one or follow up in here too. ]

PROMPT F - All Month (not July 1-2): Wildcard!
[ I'm available on frudence for plotting something out! Or if we talked about a thread previously, feel free to follow up on it here! ]

HERO!!! Training with Hajime; July 28th

[pure_radiantics]

H E R O O O O O O O Prayer N-002

[birdstheword]

[There's two benefits to being a god. One the abilty to teleport and secondly, the god power that comes with it. Hajime's, in-particularly, is a useful ability that allows her to see everyone's 'life threads' so finding Kairi is easy!

Hajime appears near Artemis' temple and makes a bee-line for the girl. Once she spots that familiar red head, she smiles warmly and twirls the thread around her fingers.]

Kairi~! Hello hello! Can you help me with something?

[pure_radiantics]

[Kairi and Hajime have talked exactly three times, twice in person, and one of those times was yesterday. But apparently Kairi made an impression when they talked about training because in pops Hajime. She doesn't even know what Hajime's power is -- she just knows that Gods can teleport and it's a pretty reasonable guess that she's going to find Kairi at the Artemis temple.]

Oh, Hajime! Well... yeah, of course I'll help you. What's wrong?

[Mentally thinking that her next step will be to figure out how far in the future she needs to plan for this 'help']

[birdstheword]

YAYYY!

[Hajime's smile grows as she bounces up and throws herself on Kairi, hugging the shinki's shoulders and smoshing their cheeks together.]

I knew I could count on you!

[She giggles as she gives Kairi a loving squeeze and with that--they teleport away from Artemis' temple]

[pure_radiantics]

Yeah, sure--

[But then Kairi notices they're teleporting.

Oh. So apparently they're going somewhere RIGHT NOW.]

Wait, Hajime, I need to at least text Roxas that I'll be gone for... what, an hour or so? How long do you think this'll take?

[She'd feel worse if Roxas didn't know Hajime, but they met before the Beach Party so... long enough, right?]

[birdstheword]

[She's still hanging onto Kairi even as they appear on a sidewalk in the Near Shore in front of a small local daycare. She blinks slowly and reaches into her back pocket to dig out her own phone.]

Mmmm I donno, I never really time things. Everything happens at it's own pace but if you want I can text him for you.

O R E H Prayer N-009; JUNE 28

[birdstheword]

[Just as she thought! Kairi was perfect to grab and to help her with these prayers. She's such a cute kind girl!]

Good job, Kairi! I think you really got into her heart and helped.

[Granted, that doesn't help with the money issues but it should motivate the woman to keep going and Hajime is sure everything will work out. She'll make a note to check up on the woman in the future. Hajime reaches into her back pocket to pull out her NOTE. It opens and flips to the page she needs when she holds it in her hand. Pulling a pen out next she quickly scribbles in the notebook, drawing a cute little star by the prayer she had scribbled down before. If Kairi looks over, there's a lot more on the list~]

[pure_radiantics]

[Kairi's just about to ask what the notebook is for - something like Izuku's maybe? - when the woman calls out to the both of them.]

"Actually, wait--"

[So much for the notebook. Ever vigilant, Kairi turns back around. Maybe they hadn't successfully completed the prayer after all? Was the woman having second thoughts?]

Oh, sure thing.

[birdstheword]

[Hajime blinks and comes to a stop. She looks over her shoulder to the woman that runs up to them. She looks panicked for someone that they just reassured.]

"It's gone! My brother's charm! I kept it in purse and it's not there. I...I don't know where it could be. Maybe I dropped it at the hospital or on my way from. I can't leave the daycare right now. Would you please, please look for it for me? It's a small silver scarab charm."

[Closing the NOTE, Hajime turns around fully. Her smile bright as ever.]

Don't worry! Hajime and Kairi are on the case!

[pure_radiantics]

Oh wow, a small silver scarab? At least that's kind of easy to pick out, right?

[That's when Hajime grabs Kairi's arm in a happy tug out the door.]

W'AH! Don't worry ma'am! We'll find it!

[Then she turns back to Hajime.]

Where are we going first, towards the hospital? Do you even know which one it is?

H E R O O O ACHOO Prayer N-013 June 28th

[birdstheword]

[Back to the day care they go! Luckily, they didn't get too far so it's not that far of a walk. Even if it was, it's good exercise! Hajime follows Kairi back inside the day care where they are almost immediately greeted by the grateful woman. She scoops up the charm from Kairi's hands and holds it in her own hands like its some sort of priceless treasure. It's a heartwarming sight, Hajime can't keep the smile off her face as she takes the NOTE back out to check off another prayer done.

Of course, while the woman is thanking Kairi over and over for finding her precious charm, there's another co-worker that's having a sneezing fit. Each time, Hajime says 'bless you' no matter how many times the sneeze happens.

This makes number ten. The co-worker lets out a frustrated grunt, muttering something about getting worse and never going to get any rest like this. If only there were somebody or something that could help rid them of this sneezing fit.

Hajime shifts her gaze to Kairi. Once the cute shinki meets her gaze, Hajime's knowing smile just grows. Would you look at that. Round 3?]

Would you look at that indeed!

[pure_radiantics]

[Kairi's attention does shift rather quickly from the woman who is so happy she can barely stand it to the sneezing coworker.]

Boy, it's like a super-bad-luck ayakashi hanging around here or something...

[She whispers that to Hajime under her breath before moving over to the coworker.]

Hi ma'am, what's wrong? You're sneezing an awful lot, huh?

[And while she's at it, Kairi offers the woman two tissues.]

[birdstheword]

Right? Good thing we're here to balance out the bad with some good!

[Kairi is so cute! She's so good! Hajime giggles to herself, cupping her own face as she wiggles. She really is happy she sought Kairi's help out. Once she's done gushing over her, Hajime's attention focuses back on the co-worker.

The co-worker takes the offered tissue, holding it to her nose while looking exhausted]

"Thank you....Some of the kids must of had something. I can't keep going like this. I just keep sneezing and sneezing. It's getting worse."

[Day cares can be a breeding ground for that kind of thing.]

[pure_radiantics]

[She sees Hajime's reaction out of the corner of her eye and starts to get a little worried. Another Hibiki? She's becoming way too hyper-sensitive about this now. Both of them act that way around everyone. It's not the same thing as her problems with Lance and Forrest, she keeps telling herself.]

Okay, well... don't worry then! We'll just go see what we can find that would help you out! Hopefully it's not something like allergies?

"No I don't have any allergies-- Well I used to, as a kid, but I thought I'd outgrown those?"

[Kairi shakes her head.]

I'm no doctor, but that could be it too - both of them at the same time would make you feel really awful I bet!

H E R O 4 H I RE Prayer - N011

[birdstheword]

[Highfives and goodbyes and the Hero duo are out and about again! Hajime has her NOTE out again, clicking her tongue as she draws a cute star by another line of text. This is going even faster then she thought. It's great! Kairi is so good! No way it'd go this smooth with the boys. Maybe she should do this more often. Small cute hero prayers with Kairi and tougher ka-pow! prayers for Davesprite and Yuto! She giggles, looking to Kairi]

We're on a roll! Who'da thought there would be so many prayers to answer in one place. It's really great we stopped there.

I love these titles; still June 28th

[pure_radiantics]

I guess if this really is the center of Neith's ... worship? Temples? All of that... It'd make sense.

[She tries to look around a bit more too.]

Is there where you and Davesprite and Yuto came the other day for your new temple visit as well?

[Maybe if she hadn't been back in awhile, that's why they piled up like that...]

<3 Are we sure its not July?

[birdstheword]

We explored a bit but we hadn't done any prayers here in this area. I usually do these smaller ones by myself but it's way more fun with a friend! It's faster too. I love Davesprite and Yuto, I really, really do, they're irreplaceable and have such big hearts! But prayers like these....I think they'd suck at! I'd rather have them bond over something they're both good at. Fighting ayakashi is more their style, I think!

[But hey, she could be wrong! She's going based off previous incidents with the boys.]

But when I went to start this morning, I thought of you, Kairi! A big light bulb went off! Click! You're super sweet and caring so these prayers are a perfect fit! Look! We've already gotten three done!

[She holds up the NOTE to show her the page with a number of prayers listed and stared off---various cutesy doodles on the sides because, well, Hajime.]

What a hero~!

<333

[pure_radiantics]

[Kairi peers down at the NOTE and smiles at the doodles. She really is a good artist, isn't she?]

A hero? No way...

[She tucks some of her hair behind her ears.]

I'm just... doing what I can. I didn't even think that was three! It kind of felt like one big help for that poor jinxed daycare!

[But then she observes the next item on Hajime's list and points to it.]

What's that - something about finding a job?

O - - Hungry Hungry Heroes June 28th

[birdstheword]

It's a busy, busy day! We're on our way~

[Hajime sings, arms out stretched as she walks to her own tune. It really has been a busy day. They've gotten a lot of prayers done. She glances over to Kairi]

Ready for another one or are you getting tired? Roxas hasn't texted me back or anything so he must be busy with Sora.

<3

[pure_radiantics]

[Busy with Sora? Oh Hajime, Kairi doesn't even go that far in teasing them with language like that!]

Oh I'm tired! But... maybe just one more. At least then I'll sleep really well tonight.

[Little does she realize that that evening she'll wake with a memory of home, from none other than Neith's blessing. Today's efforts are surely the very reason why!]

Something important because it's nearly night time? I know not everyone's comfortable walking around in the dark, but I have you, so it's fine.

[She's thinking of Yukine specifically when she says it. If Yukine has a curfew, that surely means that he's not answering prayers with his god at night either.]

[birdstheword]

It's when you've had a full day and do lots that you get the best dreams. Knowing you did everything you could in a day!

[Hajime hums, doings a spin as she walks backwards to look to Kairi]

Right back at you, Kairi! I don't mind the dark, I like seeing the stars and the moon! They shine so bright, even here, so it's never really dark. Besides! With our bonds to our gods and shinki, we're never really alone. But I really, super like having your company. This was a great day! We just have one more place to hit up and that's page one!

[pure_radiantics]

Page one?

[So many prayers! She knows Roxas goes on some prayers without her but geez, imagining Hajime doing all of these alone...]

Wow... I mean, I don't mind helping you out since Roxas didn't need me just today.

[And he asked her to tell him whenever she felt like she was being pressured to become another god's shinki, encouraging her to become a nora. She doesn't feel that way at all. She's just helping a friend and some people who could use it, that's how it feels to her. The benefits of not being Roxas's only shinki, she supposed.]

If you think this is bright, I bet you'd be really surprised to see them out in the countryside some time. The whole sky lights up with them.

[It's not a memory to her - it feels like a natural truth.]
