Early morning meetings [closed]

[tacomeme]

Who: Takumi and Dust (mithrarin )
What: Takumi gets a message that he's getting a new shinki, literally moments before the poor guy is dropped off.
When: June 8
Where: Ninigi-no-Mikoto's Temple
Warnings: Mentions of Dust's death, Takumi trying too hard

[Takumi woke up that day dreaming of lava and grief.

He had been told by Lara that gods knew things about their shinki, but the dream didn't seem to fit Ineki- she was soulless, did she even have memories? Luckily the answer came quickly. Literally. By a messenger standing right outside his bedroom door and causing Takumi to curse and dart into a restroom. Wow, rude?!

Once he was more put together (and Ineki kept offering the messenger breakfast), he was told what was happening- he was being assigned a new shinki. One that was an actual soul. He was reminded of the Secret and to name him, told he was downstairs.

Then they left, with Ineki still trying to put his hair up for the day.

In fact she still was when Takumi jogged downstairs, the soulless shinki trailing after him.]

Dust? Are you Dust?

[Oh. He had been expecting a human. Not a... kitsune? The tail makes him think kitsune, though it's not exact. Well, either way, he was here now]

Comments

[mithrarin]

[Things had gone from lost to confused, as the messenger had tracked him down as he'd been literally wandering the street or picking up books -- and though Dust had been inclined to rebel just out of anger and frustration, the desire to know what's going on is too great.]

[So here he is, presumably regarding Takumi from beneath his hat (since he doesn't do eye contact), and not sure if he should be angry, or... not angry.]

As far as I know. I could be wrong, since I don't remember anything else.
