Who: Jennifer & a couple people
What: Jennifer's nora'd, and talks to a couple friends about some memories she regained
When: June 1st...I GUESS??
Where: The temples for Hijikata, Sharak, and Masaki's god
Summary: points to the 'what' section. I might add more starters for people later ehhh
[Talk Nora to Me -- Hijikata]
[She feels like she's going to have a heart attack and faint already, and she's barely crossed the threshold of his gates. She's unannounced, it's rude, she should've said something but if she'd <>said something he would've expected her. his way, if it turns out he's not home, she's free to leave. No obligation to continue! It's perfect.
Unless, of course, he is here. She feels her heart skip a beat and her stomach twist uncertainly, but she takes a deep breath and reminds herself that she's made up her mind about this. It's her decision and she's made it and darn it she's going to go through with it! Unless he tells her no.
What if he says no?? She didn't actually plan for that and while the beauty and general calm serenity of the temple goes a long way in helping her calm down, her heart still races. Jennifer both really hopes to see him, and really hopes she doesn't.]
[There's a dirty joke i could make here about roosters but for Jennifer's sake i won't -- Sharak]
[The place is pretty in its simplicity, Jennifer can appreciate it. Like with Hijikata she doesn't announce her arrival beforehand, both hoping to see the other woman and hoping Sharak will be out for the day so she has an excuse to leave.
The conversation she wants to have isn't as big a deal as nora-ing (though she briefly toys with that idea too, if she's being bold today why not go the full way?), but it's still deeply personal.
And, Jennifer thinks with a sigh, not something she should be sharing anyhow. Sharak isn't her god, there's no reason for her to care, but in the brief time spent with her, Jennifer's grown fond of her. She wants to continue the meditation thing, it's helped!, and it offers her another excuse if she can't get her nerve up.
Ugh. She takes a breath and glances around, hoping (sort of) to catch sight of Sharak and make her presence known if Sharak doesn't already somehow know she's there.]
[Muffled 'Welcome To The Jungle' playing in the background -- Masaki, maybe Dio??]
[Unlike her previous adventures, Jennifer feels more confident about speaking to Masaki. They were closer friends, she thinks, of a sort, both being shinki and all. That makes them more equals, and therefore Jennifer more comfortable.
Also unlike her previous adventures, she feels she's reached a point where she has to reach out first to make her intentions to drop in known. Not so much out of politeness (though it is partly that, since it's Masaki's god's temple, not her own) but because Jennifer has shown up and gotten horribly turned around in the weird jungle.
So she pull out her phone to slowly send a text]
Masaki? I came by your god's temple to see you. But I think I may have gotten lost. I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience. I should have said something beforehand, but I suppose I wanted it to be a little bit of a surprise? I'm sorry.
[Help. :(]

no subject
Not really. I looked it up once I knew my god was a patron to jaguars.
And I know you're polite. I'm usually the rude one, not you.
[She chuckles quietly, and motions for Jennifer to follow her further into the temple.]
I haven't even offered you tea yet. But really, it's okay. I would have dropped by if you told me where you temple is. What's up? I'm not going to bite you or anything.
no subject
[Wait, hold on-- There's a spluttered protest ("you're not rude at all!"), but the mention of her own home makes her hesitate and trail off. Her tone grows apologetic] I... Loki doesn't want me telling anyone where it is, I'm afraid.
[And ah, there's the question. Jennifer twists her hands together anxiously, silent for several long seconds as she figures out how to respond.] I... remembered something. From when I was alive.
no subject
[She waves a hand, and while she smiles at Jennifer for her protest-she grows sombre at the confirmation that Loki still doesn't want anyone to see his temple.
After what Sousuke went through, she has to wonder if Loki has a reason he wants his privacy. But before she can voice it, Jennifer makes her confession.]
What...?
[Masaki stares at her for a few moments, stunned, before looking over her.]
Are you all right? You haven't shown any signs of becoming an ayakashi or anything?
no subject
But I can't remember anything besides this memory. If I try, I start feeling terrible again... So I suppose only one piece was returned to me for...some reason. I don't know why. [She clenches her hands together tightly, body shaking slightly.] It's...scary, but I'm... glad, I think. I don't know...
no subject
I don't know why either. But you know what? That's okay.
[Some things are better not to think about too closely.]
Would you like a hug?
no subject
Yes, I... I think I would like that. [A hug might be just what she needs right now.]
no subject
Good.
[She moves in slowly, and wraps her arms around Jennifer. It feels...nice to give someone a hug. Maybe Masaki needed this too.]
