So much to do, and all the time to do it. [Open and Closed Prompts]
Who: Yukine and you! Open and closed prompts.
What: Being idle around the Near Shore, and working hard on the Far Shore.
When: August 18 and 19
Where: Various places on the Near Shore; around the school and Hakkai's temple on the Far Shore.
Warning: None
Stuff happened. And as a result of that stuff, Yukine had even more time on his hands than usual.
So he threw himself into his studies, as well as catching up on some other projects.
--August 18--
Garden
In the morning, Yukine can be found on the Near Shore. Along a particular riverbank is a large lone cherry tree. (Not that it's easy to tell that it's a sakura when it's not spring.) And not far from that tree is a garden. Full of tall sunflowers, hollyhock, and various other bright summer-blooming flowers, it is a strange but welcome sight along the greenbelt of the riverbank.
Among the flowers is Yukine. Tying the sunflowers to poles, clearing away fallen flowers, snagging any weeds that dare appear, it is clear he is diligently tending the garden.
His expression is quietly satisfied as he works, and he won't mind being approached at all, even if it would be surprising to him.
Math class
The afternoon is class. From one until three Yukine studies math with Hakkai and takes advantage of the free study time. Math being one of his better and more liked subjects, he's in a good mood as he studies.
Meeting
[Closed to Chinatsu]
After school he'd arranged to meet a shinki that is having problems because her god is gone, and she's worried about being basically defenseless. He'd agreed to meet with her in person to talk about it, so he waits outside the school, sitting under the shade of a tree in the yard with a notebook balanced on his leg. Might as well get some homework done as he waits. He's not worried about being recognized- his name is visible above the collar of his shirt, after all.
--August 19--
English class
From nine until eleven in the morning, Yukine is forcing his way through English. At least Izumo as a teacher is pretty interesting, even if he can be awfully strict about some stuff.
But English free study... ugh. Save him, please.
Driving!
[Closed to Hakkai]
Yukine cannot escape English class fast enough, especially since he has something good waiting for him. For an hour Hakkai will give him a driving lesson in Jeep!
Yukine comes to Hakkai's temple prepared with a small box of bought cookies for Hakkai-san as the teacher, and a bit of cooked fish to offer Jeep as the vehicle.
Giving up the offerings, Yukine says the traditional "If you would, please..." Please take it easy on him? It's his first time.
[Open, with Hakkai]
Once they get underway, passers-by are welcome to notice the young shinki behind the driver's wheel instead of the adult, and try to make conversation. (Parallel parking is tricky, okay? Maybe don't distract him while he's trying to pull that off-)
Wandering the Near Shore
With a few hours to burn after lunch, Yukine wanders the Near Shore as he sometimes does. He likes window shopping around the clothing stores, and even though he doesn't play any games himself he'll watch people in the game centers. He spends some time at a garden supply store, and as the afternoon gets later he'll work his way back home, stopping at the supermarket on the way to pick up some things for dinner.
[Closed to Yuto]
Even in the busy shopping district, a head of spiky black and purple hair is hard to miss. Waving a bit to get Yuto's attention, Yukine comes closer.
"Hi! It's been a while. What you doin' down here?" And even as he speaks he's trying to think of when the last time they met actually was ... oh. Yah. It'd be during that whole kid thing, wouldn't it.

If anything needs a tweak or you'd like a specialized prompt, just let me know!]]

[Closed to Yukine]
Letting out a sigh, she approaches him, uncertainty pretty obvious in her voice. "Um..excuse me. Are you Yukine-san..?"
no subject
"Have a seat. So, are you still without a god?"
no subject
She takes a seat next to him, nodding in response.
"Mm, I don't have one.. I used to, but..," she pauses a moment, her brow furrowing. "Anyway, I'm pretty much useless without one, and I don't like it."

Settling back on his hands he continues, "So have you been looking around for another god? The new gods are pretty easy-going about taking on new shinki, after all. If you wait too long, heaven might choose for you. I don't think they'll let someone go nameless." Especially these weird new shinki.
no subject
She averted her gaze to the side. She hadn't approached any gods yet about that. Some have been nice enough to let her stay at their place, but she's been going the loner route up till now. After her last god disappeared out of the blue, Chinatsu had been apprehensive about getting another one.
"I've been fine though! So far, anyway. That's why I came to you."

She definitely would prefer picking for herself though.

Yukine stares at her for a moment, dumbfounded. Then flatly he says the first thing on his tongue-
"That's just dumb. Survive what?"
This is... not quite what he thought this was going to be about.
"You want to just survive, then stay away from the Near Shore. That's 'bout it. Otherwise, you're a sitting duck. Shinki without a name can't cast a borderline or spells. And it's not like you'll die from hunger or not having a roof over your head, but it kinda sucks, doesn't it?" It sucks. He knows from experience.
no subject
"It....it's tolerable," replied her stubbornness.
"There's really nothing I can do to fight off ayakashi without a god?"
no subject
“And nope, nothing you can do. The absolute worst you’d be able to do to it is splash some purified water at it.” Rubbing at the back of his neck for a moment he adds, “… Sorry that it’s not good news for you, I guess. If you had a total jerk of a god, I can get why you’d be in no rush to be tied to another one anytime soon. But you’ll kinda have to eventually.”
no subject
"They weren't...I just.." Actually, she didn't know why she'd been avoiding finding a new god. "Not much of a choice in the end, huh.."
