When: July 12
Where: Nanshe's newly-discovered Temple
What: Nanako has discovered she has god powers after all! Now it's led her to finally discovering she has a temple here and it gives her the perfect place to try out some of the new things she can do.
A; To Find Shelter
- [ It's been a little over a week since Nanako had discovered that she did indeed have a god power of her very own. Even if it had taken her awhile to get the hang of it. It was still taking her a while to get the hang of it, but today she's taken a break from practicing in the backyard of Souji's temple to go investigate something for herself.
Because she's felt a pull that's been growing stronger over the past few days, insistent and niggling and new. Since it hadn't faded or gone away, she'd decided this morning to follow it and see what she found.
Which is how she ends up at the base of a mountain not that long a walk away from Souji's temple. A mountain which she's very sure she's never seen before. She thinks? But there's a walled gate around its base that feels vaguely familiar to her, even if she doesn't know why. The gate stands wide open and welcoming, however, so she proceeds inside, heading up a long stone staircase to the shrine she finds at the top, brightly colored with banners waving and surrounded by a hillside full of blooming azalea bushes. The shrine itself is set beside a huge lake full of fat and lazy fish swimming within its depths.
And the more she explores of this place, the more certain she is - she's finally found Nanshe's temple. Her temple. Delighted, she starts poking into every inch of the shrine she can find, exploring all over it and seeing everything hidden within this new place. Eventually, she'll go looking for her brother and Homura, wanting to share with them her newest discovery, but if anyone else happens by in the meantime, she might excitedly show them around as well. ]
B; To Rise
- [ The discovery of her very own temple means one thing for certain - it's given her a wide open space to keep practicing her new abilities. And since she now knows how to look for that tiny flicker of power that seems to blossom brighter each time she uses it, it's easy to flit back and forth between normal and the form her god power seems to give her - that of a halo and tiny wings and a bright cheerful glow that surrounds her every time it manifests.
She hasn't figured out yet if her power will allow her to fight evil spirits any better - especially when she doesn't know how to fight in the first place. But there are other uses to this power she's learning about. Like the fact that the tiny feathered wings on her back actually work, and as long as she can keep her focus steady, she can even manage to float for increasingly longer periods of time.
So of course this is what she's practicing, once she finds her own private mountaintop filled with colorful flowers, trees, and banners. Although it's with dubious success at first, she's determined to get better at it.
So, throughout various points of the day - and possibly the next few days - there's a tiny girl with angel wings floating, bobbing, and sometimes zooming around her shrine and occasionally even venturing outside her temple to see how far she can fly and how long she can manage it. Sorry, friends, her control isn't all that great yet... ]

Hello, Celty! I bet your god was happy to see you. Did you have fun a the festival? [ That had been the highlight of the past few weeks for her. ] Don't worry, I'm being careful. But I wanted to practice more so I can get better at it.
no subject
I did have fun. I got to meet a lot of nice and helpful people who helped me understand why I'm here.
If you'd like, I can stay with you while you practice. I can use my powers to make a net to safely fall in.
[Seriously, where are this child's guardians?
no subject
[ Nanako looks surprised and intrigued by this. ]
Is it magic?
no subject
[She gestures for Nanako to wait a moment and then twists her hand around. Her shadow begins to stir around her and others slip from her sleeve to take different shapes in her hand. She shows off how she can shape it into different things.
After a moment inspiration strikes and she forms it into a black cat-eared helmet similar to her own. She holds it out in offering.]
no subject
For me? It has kitty ears even! Wow, you have really neat magic!
no subject
[Celty's powers let her do a lot, but she still has to be relatively closeby to have the shadow constructs keep their substance. But she can spare some time to watch over the girl and make sure she doesn't hurt herself.]
no subject
Umm. Will it still fit with that?
[ Hats were gonna be a problem... ]
no subject
I'm not sure. Try it on and see?
[Maybe the halo would somehow move above the helmet? It could be magical like that. She didn't want the girl to get hurt but it was hard to say how halos fit into proper helmet wearing.]
no subject
Okay! Can you help me? [ She peers up at Celty as she starts to lift the helmet, wobbling it a little as she starts to slide it over her head. Luckily, the halo seems quite capable of floating over the helmet instead of getting in the way. ]
