Semi-open!
Who: One god of war and her entourage
What: Back to business.
When: February 16, Morning
Where: Several places
Warnings: None
A. Wish Fulfillment | Closed to Kazuma | On the roof of a local hospital
[ Despite these newcomers, there was still business to attend to. Somehow, it helped to take her mind off whatever caused the new arrivals. One less thing to worry about? A sense of normalcy? Either way, it was... calming. In a way. These prayers did her well. They reminded her of earlier times when they were needed for war. Prayers for strength were nothing out of the ordinary. So she decided to wait on the roof, as was their usual practice. Kazuma could scout around and she could cover ground on their own with Kuraha. It was a good tactic, something that widened how much ground they could cover. ]
Kazuma.
[ It isn't an order. Just to grab his attention the minute she landed on the roof they'd agreed to meet at. ]
Is there anything out of the ordinary here? I know this is where that prayer came from.

B. No Parking Zone | OPEN | Outside a convenience store
I suppose that's it for today. You've done a good job, Kuraha.
[ She says this just as she steps out of a convenience store. Today, she's dressed in something a touch more revealing. Definitely bolder than what one would expect if you take what she was wearing at the welcoming banquet into consideration. She also seems armed, at least with a dagger and a whip. Nothing heavy. If you're observant though, you might notice who she's addressing: A lion. A full sized, full grown male lion who's content to lie against the wall and bathe in the sunlight. At his master's words, he looks up and seems to take notice of her.
There's a laugh as Bishamon opens a bottle of water for him and sticks a straw in. Within seconds, you are now witness to a lion sipping water from a bottle through a straw. ]
When you're done with that, we should go home.

no subject
[ That little sneak. Already he's telling others he was one of the original gods? How dare. How very dare, Josh. But that minute twitch in her eye is gone by the time Tsuzuki offers her second question. ]
It looks that way. The shinki he has is new, I can tell you that much. Where the original Tsukiyomi is and if his shinki are with him is as much a mystery as where everyone suddenly came from. I wish I had more answers but...
[ And there's a sigh after that which looks both defeated and irritated. ]
no subject
Compared to that, his annoyance with Tsukiyomi -- or whatever his real name is -- passes quickly.]
Hey, you don't happen to know if they put us in the same shrines that used to belong to the older ones, do you? I mean, with the Western gods, they probably couldn't have, but me and Tsukiyomi, at least?
[Maybe there'll be some kind of clue there.]
no subject
[ But that's a good question. ]
Sadly, I can't say. I haven't been visiting neighbors as much as I should, admittedly. But despite that, there should be some temples in the Near Shore you and Tsukiyomi may have had. That could point you in the right direction.
no subject
[Near Shore temples aren't going to have changed, no matter what happened to their namesakes' old dwellings on the Far Shore. Tsuzuki hadn't thought of it, because no one puts up a temple to a Shinigami, but he's not a Shinigami any more.
He smiles at her, relieved. It's at least a lead to start with.]
Anyway, I should go get that coffee. It's been great talking to you! If you ever feel like visiting, let me know -- I've got this pasta carbonara recipe that's to die for...
no subject
[ Because the heavens are being rather cryptic about this. ]
We'll be sure to take you up on your generous offer, of course. Perhaps the next time we speak, it'll be under better circumstances.
no subject
[She's in as much danger as any of them, if something strange is happening to gods. Tsuzuki nods decisively at her, a relieved smile spreading across his face.]
Here, I'll give you my number. [He pulls his phone out, tapping through menus.] Sorry, I'm not used to these fancy new phones yet... there! [The number glows on the screen as he holds it up.] I'll let you know whatever I find out, and if you hear anything, I'd really appreciate it if you drop me a line.
no subject
[ Just give her a sec to take down his number. Usually Kazuma's the one with the cellphone but, eh. Suddenly having one is imperative. ]
Though a word of advice: it may be best not to sow discord. Some others may see this as rebellion.
no subject
I thought even Amaterasu wanted to know what was happening.
[Tsuzuki's tone is suddenly cautious and neutral. It's not that he doesn't believe her -- sure, it seems pretty straightforward to find out what's going on when the Heavens are confused and in disarray over it, but there's no question that Bishamon knows divine politics here better than he does.
And he's in no position to start making enemies.]
no subject
Given the circumstances, it'll be hard to tell who knows things and who doesn't.
[ Or who to trust, to begin with. But she's trying to phrase it in a way that doesn't sound worrisome.
Ebisu's execution is still on her mind, after all. Trusting heaven? Betraying heaven? And Tsuzuki seemed like a trustworthy god. She'd hate to see another execution like that because he poked his nose where it shouldn't be. ]
I'm just telling you to be careful.
no subject
[His smile is nervous. He's going to have to be a lot more careful about poking his nose into things than he'd thought he was going to be, if Bishamon's warnings are genuine. She seems pretty genuine, and Tsuzuki's not going to risk himself and Hisoka on the good faith of a bunch of gods he hasn't even had the chance to speak with face to face.
So...]
Well -- thanks for the warning. I'll be careful.
