[Open] Bring no ill will to hinder us

Who: Yona and anyone!
When: June 29 - July 4th
Where: The Far Shore / The Near Shore
What: The goddess Áine settles into her new role here in the Heavens.


A; Temple
    [ Although her first day had been filled with travel and excitement and then the dangers of the attack on Amaterasu's temple, the days following had settled into a more sedate pace. Her shock at seeing her temple for the first time had been an emotional one and it had taken her a while to adjust being back in what she could only think of as her father's castle once more. And if the first few nights had had her waking abruptly from nightmares, at least there was no one close enough to hear.

    Despite the dark memories that still haunted the halls of this place for her, Yona puts on a bright smile and tackles her new duties with a determined attitude, seeing to her temple and learning as much as she can about this new place and what will be expected of her here. She can often be found in the gardens or in the orchard, sometimes working or maybe just wandering and exploring. Sometime within the first few days, an empty portion of land behind the orchard is cleared to make a simple archery range and visitors might occasionally hear the rhythmic thwip of arrow after arrow being released and finding its mark - not always perfect but consistently close enough. ]

B; The Far Shore / The Near Shore
    [ Yona doesn't spend all her time within the walls of her own temple, however. She's gotten far more accustomed to roaming and exploring and while determined not to ignore any of her duties as goddess, she's also very curious about her new home and those that inhabit it. So in between tending to her own duties and her shinki, it won't be surprising to find her out exploring the Far Shore, seeing what she can learn of the other gods, shinki and temples in her vicinity.

    It's not only the other gods and goddesses that interest her but also learning more about this world and her own responsibilities. A trip to the Near Shore finds her some of the information she's hunting for and she spends an afternoon or two curled up somewhere quiet, under a tree or by a pool of water, with a stack of books beside her, covering a variety of topics - from stories and lore about the god she is here to represent or history of the world she's been brought to or any other topic that might have been brought up or caught her eye recently. Also, the technology of this world continues to fascinate her, so you might find her poking curiously at the phone she'd been given upon arrival, still trying to figure out how it works and learning how to navigate the BBS and whatever else she might happen to stumble across. ]

C; Other

She'll be sticking to the Near Shore for the moment as she gets settled into her new home and duties here.

[While Yona is roaming the Far Shore, she'll soon come upon what seems like an extremely simple temple: Greek in design, pure white, circular and in the size of a very small house. A familiar lanky figure, now wearing a black earred beanie, is patiently piling the groceries out from a shopping cart onto its pristine white steps. At the sound of someone approaching, he looks up warily but pauses.]

...Oh. You from the fire...
kokuyoyo: (Tell him next time I'm going to be)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-04-06 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
It's my god's temple... so yes. [Fortunately, someone has already gone wandering before, so he's not nearly as suspicious as he might be otherwise, just inclines his head at her.] Do you have business with him...?
kokuyoyo: (Tell him next time I'm going to be)

[That's a relief, then, he guesses?]

I see... The Far Shore is large. Did you plan on just wandering...?
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

Since gods can teleport… Having a better idea of where you’re teleporting to probably helps…

[He shrugs and puts one more bag past the doorway.]

But since so much seems to happen on the Near Shore… that’s better to explore… Have you been there often….?
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-04-11 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Because that it’s a big city…?

[People who can remember the worlds they come from… What a novel concept to him now. Well, he guesses it doesn’t matter.]
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-04-13 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
You wouldn’t be the first… There are a lot of people like that here. Well, you’ll get used to it sooner or later… Probably.

[A shrug, and he finishes putting the groceries inside before closing the door so that there’s no way anything can sneak inside while he’s out here talking.]

You’ll have to… if you want to become a god that isn’t worthless.

[There's a pause as he looks at her, considering something carefully. It's a question he's turned over himself, but... he's curious to see a reaction to it. But is now the right time for it...?]

...Why help them...?
kokuyoyo: (I mean I don't even call it a hangover)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-04-18 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[There's an immediate shake of his head, before he stops.]

...Maybe... But more, the Heavens.
kokuyoyo: (I don't do stupid things anymore.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-04-20 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
So.... The Heavens are just a means for an end, then?
kokuyoyo: (I mean I don't even call it a hangover)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-04-23 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
...That sounds like you’d do it regardless if you were a god or not.
kokuyoyo: (Tell him next time I'm going to be)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-04-26 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
And that was?

[Faintly, he thinks of that other god- Luna- and how she was very much the same. Is this something that Axel believes in, too? For that reason, and some others, he can't help but pursue this conversation.]
kokuyoyo: (Apparently I kept telling people I was)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-04-29 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
...And those who were in power? What did you plan to do to them?

[This question feels- important. Somehow. His eyes stay completely on her, with more focus than his quiet gaze usually possesses.]
kokuyoyo: (Apparently I kept telling people I was)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-05-03 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
So you'll kill them?

[Simple and blunt, matching the look in his eyes. There shouldn't be any question for it, right?]
