014 | A Whole New World

[godsoffortune]

Who: Everyone!
What: Exploring the world
When: All day June 26
Where: The Near Shore (All Over)
Summary: So many shrines have popped up! Go visit your homelands!



The Heavens have received reports of many shrines to the "new gods" they are harboring appearing all over the world. These shrines seem to be additional, new shrines to those gods. Older shrines to those gods still exist, but these ones are shiny, new, and way more compatible with the "new gods". God characters, as well, will have felt the sudden pull towards their homelands and be compelled to travel to them. But the Heavens have taken it a step farther, offering the Meeting Hall as a place for gods and shinki to group up and go out for the day to the various places that are now calling out to them.

Please ignore the fact that they are mostly doing this so that you all will collect information for them without their begging for it or having to reward you.



Meeting Hall

The Meeting Hall is being used as a sort of hub right now. Any groups that are planning to meet up and travel together can meet here, but you might also find someone who's going somewhere you'd like to and tag along with them. Additionally, the Heavens have provided packed lunches for everyone to take with them, should they desire to. This also serves as a meeting place for all of the new gods and shinki.

Locals

Local pantheons have been alerted to the impending visitors. They are happy to welcome their brethren home and are likely to make a big fuss about their brothers and sisters staying with them. Local gods are welcome to be interpreted however you would like, just be sure not to NPC any god that is already taken by a god player. Also, you may find yourself running into some local spirits during your sight-seeing - including local ayakashi and various folklore spirits.

Flyers

They may not stick out at first, but those who are paying attention will notice that there are a large number of flyers being left around at their new shrines. Heck, even walking through the human towns, you will find flyers scattered on the ground and pinned to cork boards and nailed to telephone poles. All bear the same message: "Down with the Heavens. Down with Amaterasu." The locals gods are well versed in the flyers, saying that there have been some strange characters around throwing these flyers at anyone who will give them the time of day. Even humans will note that some shady-looking people have been putting up these strange posters.

Destruction

Whether you return early because of boredom, never left because you're uninterested, or late because you've been having fun, the middle of the night will bring an interesting sight to all. The Heavens will find themselves under attack - in the form of a large fire set at the temple of Amaterasu herself. The entire home is going up in flames and no one knows where Amaterasu is. They're asking for help in dousing the fire or even entering the burning home to find the small goddess and possibly look for the saboteurs, though the only people who are still around are Amaterasu's shinki, in varying states of distress and consciousness.

Note: Who will discover Amaterasu will be decided randomly on 3/20/17 OOC. At that point, a follow-up post will be made by Amaterasu herself.

In Summary:

• Explore the world
• Get to know your homelands
• Investigate insurgents
• Deal with a riot
• Save Amaterasu
• Have fun~

[Leo chuckles and reaches out to squeeze Forrest's shoulder.]

And the pearls?

[clothes_make_the_man]

[He smiles at the familiar contact, thinking.]

I could use them to do some embroidery work, I suppose. I'll have to think about it.

[brynwieldr]

We can attempt to grow the seeds in my temple's garden, if you want...or do you have one of your own?

[clothes_make_the_man]

They're almost certainly lotus seeds, so I think they would do better in my temple's garden. But if you'd like one of the flowers once they've grown, I have plenty.

[brynwieldr]

[Leo smiles]

Thank you. Speaking of, though, can you perhaps do me a favor?

[clothes_make_the_man]

Of course, father. What is it?

[brynwieldr]

Actually, thinking about it, this has nothing to do with flowers, but all the same. Can you please make Niles some new pants? Those striped pants of his are all he seems to wear and we have been here for months now.

NOT HERE

[deniles]

[LEAVE HIM ALONE]

[clothes_make_the_man]

Oh... yes, I had noticed that. I'm sure I can come up with something.

[brynwieldr]

Please. I will pay you double what it would cost to give that man some more pants.

[clothes_make_the_man]

How do you plan to convince him to wear them?

[brynwieldr]

I'll figure something out.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Well, I certainly don't mind making them, at the very least.

[brynwieldr]

Thank you. Speaking of shinki, however, where are yours?

[clothes_make_the_man]

I thought Niles would prefer to accompany you today, and I didn't see Psyche at the meeting hall when it was time to leave.

[brynwieldr]

He and Saix are around, but I wasn't sure they'd be comfortable here.

[Pysche?]

Not Kairi? I thought she was your shinki.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Kairi?

[Hey, there's a blush. A pretty deep one.]

Oh... no, she's Roxas' shinki.

[brynwieldr]

[Leo raises an eyebrow]

Is that right?

[clothes_make_the_man]

Ah... yes.

[He sees that eyebrow.]

Actually, I'm not sure if now is the best time to discuss it, but... do you remember when I told you I'd be sure to let you know if there was a girl I liked?

[Forrest: as obvious as ever.]

[brynwieldr]

Kairi?

[clothes_make_the_man]

Yes, that's right. I hadn't realized it until we did each others' nails at the party.

[brynwieldr]

She seems to be a sweet girl. I approve.

[clothes_make_the_man]

She really is. She cares about her friends, and always does her best for them.

[brynwieldr]

We spoke at your party, actually, about how I was your father despite my age.

[And now he smirks]

I think your feelings are reciprocated, Forrest.

[clothes_make_the_man]

That's always an awkward story to tell. How did she take it?

[He smiles a little too, almost knowingly.]

...I think so too.
