Forget all those places

[chronobreak]

Who: Ekko and Gojyo
When: June 30
Where: Tokyo
What: Prayer #17
Warnings: None at the moment.


["There are so many homeless people around here. I just wish I could give them all a hot meal. Won't someone help me help them?"

He's not sure he's the right god to pick up this prayer. Charity work isn't exactly governed by time, but he still took it. If he's being honest... it resonates with him. He knows what it's like to have very little and have to skim on meals.

The problem becomes: Ekko cannot cook.

Which is why they're right outside soup kitchen- even if they can't cook, they can at least hand out food, right?]

Don't suppose you know how to cook?

[They can still interact with stuff even if they're practically invisible to the normal folk. Hopefully the homeless will assume the food that's being put onto their plates is done by a shy worker instead of a ghost.

He sighs when the door is locked. It only makes sense to do that, but without them really acknowledging their existence, how are they going to get in?

Hakkai did mention something about vessel forms...]

Hey, you mind if I turn you into your vessel?

[erogappa]

[ That's... really not what Gojyo was expecting. ]

Huh?

[ How in the hell is him being a staple remover going to help them out here? ]

Are you gonna try to pick the lock or something?

[chronobreak]

Something like that. I've broken into my fair share of places.

[Probably more than his fair share, all things considered.]

So, what do you say?

[erogappa]

[ They could stand out in the hallway until one of the staff members entered or left the kitchen, or they could find another way in... or he could be a staple remover.

This is his life now. Gojyo shrugs. ]

Sure, why the hell not. [ He sounds completely unenthusiastic, but that because this is futile. There's no way Ekko will be able to pick the lock with his teeth in that form, but if he wants to try...?

Gojyo squares his stance, and holds his arms out slightly to the side. ]

Do it.

[chronobreak]

Juuki.

[He'll swipe him as he turns and looks at the door. Alright, now if he puts the 'tooth' of the staple remover into the lock...?]

[erogappa]

[ The world shrinks, and then he's able to 'see' in all directions without the need to turn his head. Or blink, for that matter. Nope, he's still not used to this.

There's no way his 'tooth' is going to fit in that lock, he thinks, but as it turns out, it doesn't have to. Ekko touches him to the lockplate and there's a click as the mechanism inside disengages. The door swings wide open, and if Gojyo had a jaw right now it would be hanging down to his knees. ]

What did you do? It just opened! How did you do that?

[chronobreak]

[There's an amused chuckle as he makes his way into the next room.

Ekko might not seem as surprised, but Hakkai did say something about shinki vessel abilities.]

Nah man, that was all you. Looks like this form can open up locks.

Useful.

[erogappa]

I did that?

[ But how? He didn't do anything, he just touched the lock.

Gojyo's deep in thought (let's be honest, it's mostly just a confused kind of '...how?') as Ekko carries him into the kitchen. One of the volunteer cooks looked up when the door opened, but Ekko's presence doesn't seem to register as anything out of the ordinary. 'Hey, make sure the door latches!' she calls, before turning back to the huge pile of cans she's sorting through. Seems they're more or less welcome here. ]

Oi, lemme be a person again!

[ He can't exactly chop onions in this form! ]

[chronobreak]

[For a moment he clicks the stapler remover together. Look, Gojyo, you're a weird tool with a kind of out there ability. Magic? It's probably magic, all things considered. Not the kind of magic he's used to at home, but this place uses a different sort of set as far as he can tell.

He'll move out of the way,]

Sha Gojyo.
