014 | A Whole New World
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~
when you look at the mobile tag above this and wonder wtf you even typed...
But it's nice. It's really nice, and wearing such a bright smile, she could probably light the whole meeting hall by herself. ]
But I want to hear about the kinds of places you might want to go as well. If we're going together, it shouldn't be just my choice, after all.
i feel this feel
What? That was not deal. [She frowns, then shrugs uncomfortably] Do not care. Anywhere is fine. Have only seen oceans and this Japan. And Greece soon, suppose.
[She crosses her arms over her chest, frowning.] Scotland, maybe...? Once, wanted to go there. Visit family and learn and fall in love. [A pause.] Can not do those things, now, but can still visit, suppose...
no subject
The only places I recall visiting have been Japan and England, so I'm in the same boat.
[ Lux, using nautical puns with a mermaid...........
Oh, but that was a place she has never been, and she suddenly perks up. ]
Your family is from Scotland? Then we have to go! We'll be sure to make a stop to visit them as well!
[ And a pause. ]
What do you mean you can't do those things. [ Did she mean fall in love? Or..? ]
no subject
[She shrugs at the question] Why would family be in this world? They are not here. And... It is stupid, now, to fall in love. Do not believe in those things so much anymore. [She waves a dismissive hand, trying to appear unaffected] Once, maybe, when was young and stupid. Had stupid dreams.
Am not so young anymore.
no subject
I'm not sure that I'm much of a romantic myself. I'm not sure I ever had anyone who I had given my heart to quite in that way, or if I did... [ ...if she did. ] I don't remember them. But to call something like that a stupid dream...
[ Her smile turning warm then, she tilted her head slightly to one side. ]
I hope one day you might be able to think differently. To be able to dream like that again. To find love and be happy.
no subject
For a moment, she sort of hates Lux.
And then the moment's past and Oona huffs, sneering] Do not be stupid. As said, is not thing for me now. Foolish, stupid dream. Am... [Oona's voice cracks, words stumbling as it hits her a little harder than she'd expected it to. Dammit. Dammit.] Am too... Damaged. No one sane wants broken things that are too hard to fix, when could easily find better things.
[Her hand goes to her chest and throat area, to the extensive patchwork of scars; they're not just there, but on her arms a few places and her legs here and there.
She closes her eyes against the wave of crushing despair and shakes her head.] ...You will learn.
no subject
Taking in a deep breath through her nose, the shinki tried to hide her startled gaze behind something of an apologetic smile. ]
Perhaps I will—
[ But judging from her tone, she wasn't convinced. ]
But that doesn't mean I don't want to try to help others be happy, or at least find something that they can look forward to. Maybe I'm naive, or a blind optimist; I won't deny that claim for a second. I don't know anything about the world I've suddenly found myself in, or the sort of woman I was.
[ And while her voice remained even, there was a strange weight to her words. ]
But I try to see our existence here as a second chance, where we might find something we weren't able to have in our pasts. I'm not beholden to mine, but I know that I want to try to help others who might be grappling with theirs, whether they call the Near or Far Shores their home.
[ "And that means you too, Oona," she seemed to say, yet would never do so aloud. ]
no subject
She wouldn't agree with the rest of it though.] Past made us who we are. Can not just leave it, can not throw it away and decide 'does not matter!' [She eyes Lux, remembering then that she was a shinki.] Well. You can. Others are not so lucky-- or unlucky.
Tch. Stupid. [Oona waves a hand dismissively, the 'stupid' not so much directed as an insult at Lux as just commentary in general to this entire debate.] Does not matter. None matters here. Who cares.
We will still go to Scotland. [You know, in case Lux was wondering if that was stil on the table.] Maybe there are still cute fishermen to tempt me.
[1/2]
At least you have a past that you can think back on and remember, fondly or not, that won't threaten to turn you into something that everyone you know hates.
[ A smile that both did not, could not, match the pain and sudden venom of her words... yet somehow complimented them perfectly. ]
[2/2]
But continuing to invite her? Blinking once, twice, her overly sanguine smile slipping at that, the other blond looked surprised. ]
...You don't have to force it, you know.
[ She was still mostly grateful, even if she had misgivings, but to continue to invite her after their tiff... ]
1/2
[At Lux's insistence Oona not force anything though, Oona blinks once...twice...and then starts to laugh.]
no subject
One disagreement, and think it is over? Tch! Do you never disagree with friends ever always? How boring, to surround self with people who only agree, agree, agree!
[She points at Lux rather dramatically] Listen well! I do not lie, ever. Will not fake things to make you feel better, will not lie to make you feel good. Therefore, will not lie about wanting to spend time with you. If I do not want to do such things, I will not do them. Yes?
If you do not want to go, is fine. Will go alone and meet pretty boys and eat many fish without you! [BUT LOOK AT WHAT YOU'D BE MISSING OUT ON who doesn't want fish and cute boys??]
no subject
(Someone hated by her entire species... That was...)
Flustered by that, and... well, honestly, by just about everything the other blond said, Lux winced a smile. ]
I, well...
[ It wasn't quite fair to hedge on the same answer ("I don't remember"), but in this case, for once she had another response that still held true. ]
I'm not sure. I don't honestly have very many friends here...
[ She could probably count them on one hand, really. ]
