Sorry for my stupid hiatus augh

[starfestival]

[Orihime furrows her brow in thought, still without raising her head. She's just not sure... is he planning to risk his own status for this? For... her?]

'Going to do anything...' Does that mean you have made plans this very hour? I fear for what those plans may entail, if anger on my behalf and no benefit to yourself can be found in those answers you seek.

[mithrarin]

Not plans. Just intentions. So far. [Dust folds his arms idly, his head lowering slightly.] If nothing else, seeing something I think is wrong and not doing something about it will just sting my god, so call avoiding that a benefit.

[starfestival]

[She nods in understanding.]

Yes... yes, that is true. It is not something that I remember often a shinki has to consider.

[Looking back up at Dust again, she smiles.]

I should find some way to show my appreciation for your... intentions. You are a rare shinki that would care about a Goddess who is not your own.

[mithrarin]

I don't think I'm that rare. If you do... it's because you haven't met too many of the shinki here. The new ones. [Dust's smile is faintly lopsided.] The best appreciation you could give me is to help me, though. Tell me who I should start talking to about this.

[starfestival]

Well you are correct that I have not met very many of the new shinki, or many at all.

[She folds her hands in front of her in contemplation.]

I suppose I can recommend the Lady Suijin as a... starting point. Or if you would prefer another shinki, I know that the Lord Fuujin has a very outgoing Exemplar. I see her sometimes when he visits or when I go see him.

[mithrarin]

Both are good options. I get the feeling this won't be the easiest thing to accomplish. Call it a hunch. [A very good hunch, he well knows, and invites her to laugh at the joke with a smile of his own.]

[starfestival]

The name of his exemplar is Kaede, but I believe that she is always in attendance at his temple when he is busy with various matters that do not involve ayakashi.

[She lets her shoulders lower just a bit, not laughing but rather her mouth forming a thin line - like it would be a frown if not for how weary she is of the matter.]

I have tried as you are eager to do, and many times... but always in vain. It has been more than half a century since I last dared to ask.

[Things move slowly in the Far Shore.]

[mithrarin]

[Things have changed very rapidly, lately. The gods need to start recognizing that.]

The duty of a shinki is to remind the gods what it is to be human, right? I'm hoping the gods remember that, when I remind them.

[And if they don't listen... Dust hadn't been given strength and ability only to let injustice prevail.]

[starfestival]

Does that mean you wish to speak to Fuujin himself?

[She looks worried.]

I can at least make an attempt to request an audience on your behalf.

[mithrarin]

I don't need to start at the top. Not yet. Maybe if nothing else goes anywhere.

Goal for your personalized mission going from here? I'm trying to glean it and not sure :(

[starfestival]

[Orihime nods in understanding.]

That is a wise decision.

[mithrarin]

Thanks, Orihime. For telling me where to start.

[Is it weird to thank the person you're doing all this for? Well, Dust doesn't think so, but then again, Dust isn't exactly doing this for Orihime. Yes, he wants to help her, but it's more than just her.]

[starfestival]

I do not know if I should be thanked for such a thing. I only hope you will not find disappointment when you meet at Lord Fuujin's temple.

[She bows to him and gestures towards the door so that he can get started on his efforts.]

[[OOC: Dust's first mission:

* Meet with Kaede and/or Fuujin on the subject of Orihime's punishment. Orihime does not have to be present.
* Log of 10 comments (from Dust) in which a proposal to end the punishment or tasks to complete in some way is discussed. By the end of it, Orihime must have some kind of direction with Fuujin's permission that will make her more like a 'real god'.
* 200 followers or 20 exp reward for any of Dust's selected participants with at least 3 comments in the log
* Custom follow-up mission will focus on achieving the terms set about in this mission.

If these terms are acceptable and you do choose to respond to the Prayer page with helpers, you should write in "Personalized" for the Prayer/Mission number wiith a link to this thread.]]
