Prayer #34 Write-in for Tanabata:

Forseti temple in Heligoland got wreaked by a small gang of teenagers. It's completely trashed much to the dismay of the fisherman that visits often. After having his fish saved he doesn't want the island to lose Forseti's blessing. It's too much work for one old man to handle. His granddaughter, that has come all the way from Japan to visit, suggests making a tanabata wish and to hang it up in the temple. So, with his granddaughter's help, he wishes for the temple to be cleaned up back to it's respectable state.

Prayer #36 Follow-up to 34:

The ayakashi that is causing all of the ruckus around Heligoland looks like a ram with one broken horn, and runs around with several groups of teenagers encouraging them to wreck any sort of building with a bit of prestige to it, which included Forseti's temple. They will need to track the ayakashi down by the trail of damage it's leaving in its wake.

Prayer #35:

Forseti is also the god that "stills all strife" in people's bonds! Unbeknownst to Aymeric, the temple-trashing teens actually started their messy activities because of a misunderstanding between one of the boys and a friend who didn't participate. That friend saw the fisherman's Tanabata wish and asked about it, wishing on the same paper that Forseti might repair the misunderstanding. The prayer was thus literally buried by the trashing of the temple. Time to set things right!

Prayer #37 Follow-up to 35:

With the advice given a success, the teenagers and the wishmaker seem to be at peace with each other! However, there's still something lurking around. Turns out it's a slippery naga ayakashi; time to track it down ~~AND HIT IT WITH A FRIENDSHIP BEAM~~ and ensure no more misunderstandings happen this time around!

Prayer #38 Follow-up to 36 and 37:

Our favorite fisherman, Frisch Singer, has gone out for his normal work and then a storm kicked up all of a sudden! Unbeknownst to the trio in Heligoland, it is a Draugen - the ghost of a man that died at sea - style ayakashi. The granddaugter makes a second wish, that her grandfather will come home safely! Little does she realize it will take the trio fighting a monster to bring him home.

Kairi shakes her head, unconvinced. "I don't think rowdy little rebellious kids are the type to just track dirt everywhere, Goten..."

And she immediately understands why Aymeric wanted an extra pair of hands once they get to the temple. There's litter everywhere, and some of the status were knocked over - some broken, even. That's just what she can see from the entrance! "How awful! I didn't want to be right!"

"Aymeric... is this why you wondered if your follower was alright? Does he know who did all of this? I know I said rowdy kids, but this is kind of extreme... like they had it out for you - Forseti - personally or something."

"Or they had no other outlet."

He cannot see those so young destroying a temple just because they hated a god and one that had a temple come out only a few days ago. As he steps inside, Aymeric scans the area for anything of note. Or rather if anyone was inside and needed help. Going from room to room, he sees broken furniture pieces, pillows ripped, and even graffiti in some of the rooms but no people inside.

"There is not a soul inside in which I am grateful." he sighs in relief. "However, I do not think they did this out of spite of me; there is nothing that would say a personal vendetta such as my 'name' on the walls. And the ruckus looks more wild than calculating lest there would be a set pattern."

Goten squints at some of the graffiti, his head tilting a bit to the side. He can't make out any of it. It's just a bunch of squiggles. Even he knows better then to write on walls. But looking at the temple as a whole, this really is going to take a while. Even with the three of them.

"Isn't there someway to find them and make them clean it up..." He frowns. Where are they even suppose to start? "It must of taken awhile to do this much though." Goten picks up one of the smaller broken statues and tries to press the pieces back together ---only to make it crack and break into more pieces that crumble to the ground. Whoops!

"I think it's possible for a god to focus on their own followers and know who they are - like the guy who wished for the temple to get cleaned up - but I don't think Aymeric would be able to know who did it considering they must certainly not like Forseti, even if they don't hate him personally." That's Kairi's own observations though, based on her previous adventures with Roxas.

"At least with all three of us we can probably get it done quicker. And maybe Nimbus can help us, right Goten?" She turns to Aymeric. "When you were going room by room earlier... that got me thinking it'd probably be the best way to try cleaning things too. Just... a little bit at a time..." She gives a sheepish shrug towards Goten then. "With some breaks, of course."

Then she slams one hand into her other hand as a fist. "We should make it into a game!"

Mostly for Goten's sake, but still.

"Maybe 2 on 2? One person gets Nimbus's help."

Aymeric nods in agreement. "Room by room would work for all of us and even if we may not get it all done today it will at least be a start." He won't push the younger ones into doing it all in one day, it just feels wrong.

At the mention of the game, Aymeric's eyes light up and he fishes into his pocket, pulling out a coin.

"Shall you call then? Heads or Tails?" Naturally he addresses Kairi and Goten because he can't use Nimbus.

The mention of it being a game perks up Goten's spirits a bit. Make it a game and a bit of a competition and he is more then eager to go. It's just something in his blood...and the fact he is still a child.

Kairi has the best ideas!

"Okay! Let's do it!" Goten grins, jabbing his right fist into the air. He's got a game to win! Aymeric is in the spirits too which just makes it all the more fun. Cleaning isn't fun but if its a race of some kind maybe it can be. He's more then willing to try now!

"Tails!"

Kairi assumes that he's addressing them because he's The Adult and they're the kids who need this turned into a game in order to do it. Of course, then Goten calls out tails, so Kairi just gestures towards him. "Heads for me, then."

And she waits as Aymeric is obviously going to be the one to toss the coin. She's happy with this being a fair chance for either her or Goten. She may have more focus to be more efficient, but he has more strength and powers than she does. It could easily go either way with Nimbus assisting either of them, as far as she's concerned.

Once he catches the coin, Aymeric then slaps it down on his palm.

"And it's..." And takes a look. "Tails." Well then, looks like the teams are set.

"Hmm, I suppose if this is a game, there needs to be something to aspire for." Tapping his chin, he has an idea. Simple but it might be effective when it comes to Goten but not sure with Kairi. Since it is Tanabata, maybe he can try and grant a wish for them. Within reason of course.

"How about a favor? Whoever wins, I will grant them what they wish...within my power naturally." He can't do the big things like memories and such but small wishes he can certainly try.

[Excitement had Goten throwing one fist into the air before. But when Aymeric announces his victory, that's when both his hands go up and he bounces and down.]

Alright!

[He's the best guesser! Though he pauses after a second, still holding his hands up before he blinks at Aymeric]

Aymeric.....does tails mean Nimbus is with me or with Kairi?

[How does this win work? But then there's the mention of a prize. Goten gapes at that. This cleaning thing just keeps getting better and better!]

[She laughs a little holding up her hands.]

I don't know but it's either your choice or Aymeric's. It's definitely not mine since I lost the coin toss.

[Then she puts her hands behind her back and waits patiently.]

My apologies, I never stated that who won would get Nimbus as their partner during this.

[Yeah oops.]

Since you guessed correctly Goten, Nimbus is yours during the game.
