July 5, Morning!

[clothes_make_the_man]

Lady Orihime? Are you there?

[The festival is tonight, so Forrest hopes he'll be able to catch her before she gets too absorbed in things.]

[starfestival]

[ She slides open the screen walls to her front porch, sitting in a much less formal attire than he last saw her in. She is dressed simply for her morning routine, but is still on her knees just inside the screen door. ]

Mr. Forrest - please, come join me. Have you had breakfast already?

[ She gestures to a meal in front of her that includes a steaming teakettle. ]

July 5, afternoon

[lostinshadows]

[Lavi arrives at the familiar home, mindful enough to avoid getting in the way of anyone who might be passing by.

He lifts his head, a curious expression masking his face as he looks around.]

Lady Orihime?

[starfestival]

[ Orihime hasn't changed out of her daywear just yet, but she opens the screen wall to her house and - upon seeing Lavi - smiles at him from just inside the threshold. ]

Mr. Lavi, wasn't it?

July 5, morning + Hajime

[fullcowl]

[He did agree to help set up stages. He might not know anything about weaving clothes, but he can definitely help out with moving heavy things. Stages he's pretty sure he can manage, especially if there are people to direct him.]

Good morning, Lady Orihime.

[birdstheword]

[Hajime isn't far behind Izuku, her eyes glancing this way and that. Each time they show up, the place is getting more and more decorated. Hajime can't help but take it all in but she's here to do more then just ogle at the decorations no matter how pretty or many there are, she's here to lend a hand.
She pats Izuku's shoulder as she flashes a smile to him before looking to Orihime, bouncing up.]

Good Morning, Orhime-san~! How are you doing?

July 4th, Late Evening (with Shizuo and Yoon)

[darkestbefore]

[ Having spoken to Orihime earlier in the day, Yona travels to her home later that evening with Shizuo and Yoon in tow. Fortunately, Yoon's fairly adept at navigating his way around the Heavens so they locate it with little trouble and maybe only one wrong turn, finding themselves on her doorstep to see how she's handling the preparation for the festival and the anticipation of her important day. ]

Hello? Lady Orihime? We aren't interrupting, are we?

[handsome_genius]

[ Yoon had gotten very frustrated early on with his lack of a map in this place. He keeps considering that maybe he's just going to have to make one. But that's a later consideration. The point is that he wasn't about to deny to Yona that he had been in the Far Shore slightly longer than she had and, hey, if she was a nervous sort of girl with a big bodyguard of a shinki, he kind of understood coming to someone like him who didn't look like he posed a threat.

He hadn't been terribly enthused at the idea of meeting another goddess and one of some noble class by the sounds of the BBS post Yona responded to, but if Yona didn't want to go unattended, he could certainly understand that much. ]

Hey. Bodyguard.

[ He elbows Shizuo a bit. ]

Maybe you should introduce your goddess to another goddess?

July 5th, Afternoon (with Chikusa, Ken, and Axel)

[kokuyoyo]

[Despite the event, Chikusa hasn't bothered to dress formal in any way whatsoever. That isn't to say he's dressed sloppily- the simple polo and snacks he has are fairly neat, even if he's still wearing a green beanie- but this is the best they can have right now. After all, Axel is still a young god, and they don't have the excess of followers to dress in the slickest outfits.]

[Which is apparently why they're here. And why some people, Ken, have been told to be on their best behavior.]

[Chikusa is certainly on his, for once. With a messenger bag around his shoulders, he's actually standing up straight with good posture for once. He may or may not be suspiciously eyeing Orihime's shinki if he sees them... Chikusa is also the one responsible for making Ken hold a melon, because the Japanese apparently are all about those, and Chikusa isn't going to let the old gods show up his.]

[For the most part, however, he seems to be following after Axel, an obedient shinki to his bones and eager to make his god look good, in multiple ways.]

[junkyarddog]

[Ken isn't thrilled about any of this, although most of his disgruntlement can be traced back to the fact that Chikusa made him take a bath before they came here today. But, like Chikusa, he's devoted to Axel and he doesn't want to let him down in any way, so aside from a slightly sullen expression, he's behaving himself admirably. He's following Chikusa's lead - Chikusa may well have given him even more instructions on his behavior today than Axel has, although that's likely because Chikusa trusts him not to embarrass them a lot less - melon held carefully in his hands. Conveniently, with his hands not able to be jammed into his pockets, this has improved his posture a bit from its usual, too.]

[starfestival]

I have not forgotten your thread, but I was under the impression that Axel would be tagging in before Orihime did.

July 4th, Late Evening

[revolutionfalcon]

[As promised, with Shun wanting to get this done as quickly as possible, he heads down to the house by the river quite a bit later in the evening than when he'd been speaking to Orihime. It at least doesn't look like she's been swamped by people wanting their requests sorted out today, so that might serve him to get his own done quicker.

He can't see her outside at the moment, though, so rather than call out when he hadn't chosen to put his face or voice to the communication he'd had with her, he heads to the door of her little house to knock at it. It's firm and loud enough to be heard clearly, but not unnecessarily so.]

[starfestival]

[ After her formal announcement, she's changed out of her formal kimono layers and into something easier to walk in. She rounds the corner of her house, as she had been out for an evening stroll by the river, with a look of curiosity before it turns into a more friendly small smile. ]

Mr. Nekhbet, was it not? You came after all.

July 6th, afternoon. (With Kaya)

[smilingbullet]

[ When D2 decided to drop by and see if he could be of any more use, he had not been intending to go with someone else but it's always fun to do it with more company. The more the merrier! So when he spotted Kaya on his way over he instantly invited her. Which is why he arrives in her company. ]

I hope you don't mind that I brought a friend with me, Ma'am. This is Kaya.

[fadingsunshine]

[The house is really cozy so Kaya finds herself staring at the peaceful simplicity of it. She doesn't know anything about Orihime, or most of Japanese mythology yet for that matter, but from the video post she seems like a beautiful and generous woman, and she's grateful for the favors.

She takes a little bow. The gods she knows well are quite casual, but she figures the older, original gods might want more courtesy.]

N-Nice to meet you! You're so kind for making all those clothes, miss!

July 5, afternoon ♔ w/Johan, Elfnein, Luna

[priforprince]

[ ....everything's ready.

It was tough going. She'd actually had to corral people she'd met around the Far Shore into assisting with staffing, and there might be some minor preparations remaining, depending on said staff's abilities. Hibiki will have to compensate them well for sacrificing their chances to enjoy her grandeur as audience members.

In this moment, however, nothing matters but the ex-Princess she's here to please. Draw back the curtains, and....showtime. ]

I trust my timing isn't inopportune, Mademoiselle.

[alchemists]

[ Following Hibiki on a mission couldn't be that bad right? ]

A knock before drawing the curtains might have worked better?

OOC

[starfestival]

I have not forgotten your thread, but I was under the impression that Luna would be tagging in before Orihime did.

July 6th, morning (with Yuri and Yuuri!)

[leapingchuu]

it had taken no time at all to convince Yuuri to come with him, but their god was a different story altogether. Viktor had wheedled for what seemed like hours, and it was only the possibility of his continuing to do so that had convinced Yuri to begrudgingly agree.

Upon reaching the house, Viktor cleared his throat and knocked. He'd brought some flowers with him, and quickly put some petals in his hair and reached to do the same to his god and fellow shinki. They needed to look festive, after all!

[shortprogram]

[Yuri irritably brushed all the flower petals out of his hair and scowled up at his shinki.]

Stop it, you moron.

[He didn't even want to be here in the first place and already Viktor is being ridiculous. They're going to get laughed out of the place. Or worse, someone is going to think it's cute.]

[starfestival]

Just letting you know that I will tag into the thread after Yuuri does

[starfestival]

Would you like to continue this thread without Yuuri or will he be tagging in?

July 7, morning

[lostinshadows]

[After a whole day of investigating, Lavi's finally decided to go visit Orihime again.

He arrives at the house soon enough.]

Lady Orihime? Pardon the intrusion.

Re: July 7, morning

[starfestival]

[She slowly slides the door open, dressed in a simple yukata and her hair down. She recognized the voice but...]

Mr. Lavi? Why... whatever is going on?

[Her mind is more than a little preoccupied.]

July... 13th why not?

[mithrarin]

[After the chaos of Tanabata, and after working out his own troubles with Takumi, Dust at last finds his way to Orihime's home. Arriving is perhaps the most awkward part. Does he knock? Does he ring a bell or something?]

[Eventually he settles on the former, fidgeting awkwardly on the step as he waits for her acknowledgment. It's... a surprisingly subdued abode. Is this part of her punishment?]

Re: July... 13th why not?

[starfestival]

[Orihime has had the better part of a week now to mourn the loss of her husband for another year. As a result, she is not a red-faced, disheveled mess when Dust finds her again. She is in a simple yukata and opens the sliding door after he knocks on it.]

Oh! Hello... Dust, was that right?

[She's still not used to visitors, even after so many new gods and shinki coming to see her. She hasn't been this 'popular' in centuries.]

July 5, morning!

[likethelight]

[ As promised, bright and early the next morning there will be one (1) white-haired exorcist-god at her home. A bit hesitant perhaps, just from being unsure how to help, but—he'll find a way. ...Presuming it didn't involve actually weaving. Unless, as gods... was it like how synthesis worked?? No, that'd be silly..

Helping set up the festival, though—

He'll knock lightly before calling out, Timcanpy hovering just over his shoulder. ]

Miss Orihime?

Re: July 5, morning!

[starfestival]

[She is dressed in a simple yukata while preparing for the night's festivities, not having changed into her formalwear. She is almost dreading it now, so her voice from behind the screen wall of her house is a bit muted in what might have been the normal excitement of the Guest Of Honor for such a massive festival.]

Yes, I am here, one moment...

[And she slowly opens the screen with her head lowered, before finally raising it up and getting a better look at the person before her. Her eyes widen at the sight of the flying golden creature.]

Ah... Your shinki, I presume, Mr. Michael. [And she points in Timcanpy's direction.]
