[Closed] And I guess I wasn't aware / That after all I was prepared

Who: Kairi and Goten
What: Prayer Answering on their gods' behalf
When: June 22nd, afternoon/evening
Where: Heligoland, Germany, Near Shore
Warnings: n/a this is Kairi and Goten for crying out loud

---
Kairi and Goten are off on an adventure to answer a prayer in Aymeric's absence, since Goten wants to impress this god enough he'll stick around. Poor Goten is on God #3. Since Aymeric is Forseti, they learn that the beseecher - whose fish traps are getting their fish eaten after hauled in - is located on "Heligoland." For starters, where on earth is that?

[Goten has only been on one prayer and it was with someone he didn't like but he knows that prayers are important. Maybe the lack there of has been making his gods disappear. He isn't going to let that happen with Aymeric! But there's one problem with this one prayer he ran off with...he doesn't know where it is. At all.
Staring at it hasn't offered him anymore clues on where to start so going to one of the smartest people he knows has got to be better then that----Kairi! She helped him with Nimbus' name so she must know where this place is too, right?

So here they were. After handing her the prayer he stares up at her expectingly]

I donno where Hellegoland is...have you heard of it, Kairi? I need to get there.

[With no leads and a bit of fading hope, the fisherman had left them most of his catch. What'd he have to loose at this point? He'd already lost so many fish and if these kids could somehow pull off stopping whatever it was from killing his catch then maybe this nightmare would finally be over and he could do his job in peace. After setting up a few more nets just off the dock and shore and he left the duo in the spot.

Goten was enthusiastic about it first. Being sneaking and catching whatever it was.---But as more and more time started to pass, he was getting tired of waiting. Goten can't sit still for long. He whines, kicking one of the nearby rocks with the toe of his shoe.]

Kaiiiiiri. I don't think it's coming. Isn't there another way to find whatever it is?

[A way that wasn't so boring and required so much waiting?]

[He's gotta get his borderlines up to Kairi's level! That's amazing! He doesn't know how she makes them so strong but they really pack a punch!

With the fish safe that just means they have to chase after the ayakashi. He couldn't stop it from leaving, it's better that it's gone. Goten hops off the dock and floats over the water's surface, something catching his eyes.]

What's that...

[There's a faint but eye catching black-oozy trail going further out to sea in the direction the creature fled. Goten would swear was blood or something or maybe it was apart of the ayakashi? Kairi did hurt it. But with the water and moving waves its slowly dispersing. Fish around it are turning belly up and floating to the surface with a nasty purple coloring similar to blight.

Goten floats a little closer, curiously reaching to poke one of the belly-up fish.]

What's happening to all the fish? I think they're sick or something...

[Goten isn't ready to head back home to Aymeric's temple just yet. The blight is gone so his god shouldn't be feeling anymore stinging, right? He can't help but keep looking at his now blight-free hands as he clenches and unclenches them.]

Mmm...I didn't know any of that. I didn't think Aymeric or anyone else could get hurt cause of stuff I do. I thought if I took a prayer for him it would help him.

[Goten sighs, letting his shoulder drop feeling guilty and defeated. For all his playing around and fun-loving nature, Goten really does care for his friends. Aymeric, is new to him, but the god has been nothing but nice to him since they first met. This was a chance to repay that kindness and possibly keep his god longer. That maybe somehow prayers had something to do with a god staying or disappearing. They had more or less completed the prayer but not without hurting their gods or themselves.]

I'm sorry Kairi. I'll be more careful next time, I promise. I thought I was the only one getting blighted, not you, Roxas and Aymeric. I'm not that good at being a shinki...

[If Kairi was expecting a warm welcome, well, at the moment she's not getting it. The moment she'll arrive there will be very irritated and growling hounds sitting right by the door. They're feeding off of what Roxas is feeling. Komitis is far more vocal than Asteri, who looks ready to attack. Roxas bursts through the door and walks right up to Kairi.

Without another word he starts checking her over. Kairi will see a spot of blight along his neck, though at the moment he's ignoring it. When he's done he just fixes her with a look and stays quiet.

Explain yourself fast.]
