[Open] All that I have are these

Who: Nanako and anyone!
When: Mid-August
Where: All over the Far Shore and wherever she can find other gods and shinki.
What: Nanako is on A Mission.


A: Photographs and Memories
    [ After talking with Izumo a few days before about his plan to make a wall of memories in his bar of all the gods and shinki who have come and gone, so they'd be remembered, Nanako can be found wandering through the Far Shore and near the temples she comes across, borrowed camera in hand. While she's quicker to approach people she knows with her request, she will often wander up to strangers as well, trying to hide her shyness and nerves behind a hopeful smile. ]

    Hi! Can I take your picture?

B: Practice Makes Perfect
    [ Nanako has been very determined of late to get better at her abilities, whatever they may be. So it's not unusual to find her practicing at her temple, or perhaps out somewhere on the Far Shore for a change of scenery. There might be a tiny girl wielding a bow and arrow, taking careful aim at her target as she practices again and again on improving her aim.

    Or perhaps it's the light show that's drawn you in, a tiny hovering angel surrounded by a warm glow and occasionally trying to figure out how to direct that light where she wants it to go - with varying degrees of questionable success, though she remains looking determined, even when she fails. ]

C: Safe and Sound
    [ Nanako is crouched beside her shrine, peering underneath the planks of wood that make the walk that surrounds it, looking distressed. And apparently pleading with someone - something? - hidden in the deep shadows underneath. ]

    You can come out now, I promise, the scary storm is gone. Don't be afraid! I won't let anything hurt you.

    [ Or perhaps you've stopped by on a sunny afternoon to find her sprawled on her stomach on the dock that stretches out over the lake, bowl of crumbled bread crusts beside her as she feeds the fat lazy fish circling beneath her. Watch out for the pelicans, though. They sometimes like to swoop at unexpected visitors. ]

Hm?

[Patchouli was probably studying something else, maybe writing it down a little.]

Well, I suppose it's a strange thing to wish to photograph a stranger, isn't it? But I don't mind, either.

Well... unless they're employed as a professional photographer, I guess.

Still, I did already say you could take my picture. Maybe I should sit down somewhere and make sure you can see my face, too.

[The ground seems like a perfectly acceptable place for that, so she'll just sit down basically right where she was just standing.]

Certainly. [She nods first, before she smiles, setting her book down next to her.]

Hm... well, it's quite recognizably me, which I guess is the point... It's a pretty good photograph.

[If you're thinking about her, her sitting in a strange place with a book seems like a reasonable image to have in your head, too.]

If you wish to keep photographing me, I think that would be okay. Practice never hurt anyone, right?

Well, I haven't anywhere else to be.

Pleased to meet you, Nanako. My name is Patchouli.
