[closed] There's Always So Much To Do
Who: Axel, Chikusa, and Ken - Hestia and Shinki thereof
When: Late June 26th - Backdated
Where: Hestia's temple
What: Chikusa and Ken find their absentee god conked out in the temple sanctuary
Warnings: Talk of injury
[Axel wasn't there when his shinki set out to Greece. That wasn't so odd, he generally took a laissez faire approach to their lives. What was odd was that he hadn't been seen for a week, though he gave the excuse before he vanished that he was going to tend to the sacred fire.
What's even more worrying is that when they come back, the fires in their home, usually burning merrily, have settled to embers. The whole house is dark, as if the power that supports the lights has waned. And in the distance, from the end of the long hallway that leads to the sanctuary, a faint meowing can be heard as the shinki enter the temple.
The meowing gets louder as they go deeper into the tenebrous temple, and there's light coming from the doors to the sanctuary. It's not hard to open the doors, heavy though they are, as if years of movement and regular greasing have kept the hinges fluid. However, this time one does not even need to put in that effort. One of the doors has been left ajar, a usually impermissible state of affairs.
Inside, there's a roaring blaze in the brazier; the room is very warm, especially on a summer night like this. But that's not the most important point of interest. Possibly more relevant is the god lying unconscious on the floor, a two-tailed kitten mewling hungrily from next to him. The cat goes to circle the two shinki, still meowing, but Axel doesn't so much as budge.]
