[OPEN] Near Shore: Grisly Kabuki Show
[A long time ago, okay two weeks ago, someone had anonymously suggested to Schuldig that he go to see a kabuki show. Not just any kabuki show, though - Yotsuya Kaidan, the Ghost Story of Yotsuya - on the promise that there was 'plenty of grisly revenge for you there.'
Now that he's being subtly encouraged to get out and about more, he's planning to see it. If you see him on his second or third watch, he might even be outside of the theater conning scalpers out of their own money - a deal that's not a deal sort of thing where he buys 7 at the cost of 10 - so that he can give them to people waiting in line.]
[OPEN] Near Shore: Beach Bum
[Schuldig's pale skin is getting tanned and those sunglasses he's normally only wearing like decoration are actually getting use, finally. Feel free to notice him lounging or trying to chat up the lifeguards.
Then there's the matter of trying to be a good-hearted God of Mischief down here. If he notices that there are people haggling down 'tourist' prices from the locals, he uses his telepathy to calm both parties down. If he sees kids playing pranks, he'll help them not get noticed by parents or authority figures as they run off. That sort of thing.]
[OPEN] Near Shore: Ayakashi
[If you've wandered near that fishy ayakashi and gotten yourself trapped, he'll definitely notice, or try to keep you away from it if he notices you wandering too close. He can hear the thoughts of ayakashi getting closer - the raw, tangled mess of raw emotions that is - as well as those of gods and shinki without strong mental shields.
If you actually do manage to get yourself trapped, he'll have to call a shinki to get you out of there, but he might still do it. Depending on who it is and depending on if you got yourself trapped so that one of his followers didn't get caught.]
[OPEN] Near Shore: Fireworks
[Trying to get a better spot to watch? Schuldig might use his telepathy to convince some noisy neighbors on a blanket to take their drinking elsewhere so you can have that one. Or he might be able to get a crying baby to fall asleep. The line for drinks & food could be a lot shorter as soon as he decides to go there, standing behind you in line. If you're trying to get an adult beverage and you're not an adult, he has no problem getting you one. Drinking customs in Europe are different, so he doesn't care.]
[OPEN] Far Shore: Anywhere But His Temple
[Even while very empathetic towards the human race now - specifically his followers - Schuldig doesn't plan to invite people out to his temple. As a result, he's out wandering. Specifically, he's combing the place for one of Amaterasu's lackeys somewhere down the chain of command with low enough mental shields that he can read their minds. It's a promise he owes Jae-Ha, actually.
As a result, Schuldig could be found just about anywhere standing off to the side with a thousand-yard-stare as he canvasses small sections of the Far Shore for just such a lackey.]

whee /submits
And you didn't need to be my shinki before the ayakashi came into the picture. I'm a telepath; I'm not omniscient or prescient.
[That's his boss. And yeah this is his own mess he's trying to clean up, but time is the critical element here.]
You're the one who said you don't even know what it's like to fight an ayakashi. Don't you want to get over that fear? Or is protecting Rin and Sousuke not worth that much to you after all?
[He knows Goten isn't actually afraid, but it's his last gambit to goad the young not-quite-human shinki instead of forcing it on him or quickly leaving and just not telling the young man his name.]
/o/
[Omniscent? Prescient? Stop using words he doesn't understand. It just makes the young boy that much more frustrated. He didn't want to team up with this god in the first place, his only motive was to protect his friend and his god. He never signed up to be this guys shinki. Not after their first meeting. Not after what he did to Sousuke either! It isn't fair.
But it's Schuldig's next few words that make Goten stop. He glares at the taller god as his energy suddenly flares up around him. Its visible to people like Schuldig but otherwise it just seems like a gust of wind came from the child. Harmless but it's presence is there.]
I'm not scared! And protecting them is important to me so don't say that!
[He can't do anything though. Getting in a fight with Schuldig wouldn't do any good. He wouldn't get his name or anything and making him mad would probably end up like their first meeting if not worse. That's the only thing keeping him from charging the Schuldig or flying away. He's smart enough to know either won't solve anything. It's only after a few more seconds of staring him down that Goten's energy drops and his arms lower. He's gotta protect Sousuke and Rin...
Goten slowly nods his head. Fine. He'll do it. But he doesn't have to like it.]
....After we find that ayakashi queen thing you better keep your word.
