[Closed] Promoting Peace, Nanako Style.

[welcome_home]

Who: Nanako, Homura and Suijin
When: July 14, Late in the day
Where: The Meeting Hall
What: Mission #01: Nanako has decided to Help.


[ Nanako and Homura had returned to the Far Shore after fulfilling their Prayer at the Marketplace, only to find a shinki waiting at Nanako's temple with a letter. Accepting it, Nanako had managed to piece together enough of the words to figure out who it was from before racing home to show it to Souji.

Having her big brother read it for her had led into a Dojima family meeting to talk about the problem and help Nanako work through some of her own ideas to think about presenting to the god. It's a lot to think about and it's a little intimidating for her, being asked what she thinks could help, but she takes the request with all the seriousness she can muster.

Which lingers in her demeanor as she teleports to the Meeting Hall a little later that evening, clutching the letter she'd received in one hand and Homura's hand in her other. Marching up to the first official-looking shinki she finds, she peers up at him with shy determination. ]

I'm here to see Suijin. Do you know where they are? I have a letter!

[ Completely oblivious to Homura's long-suffering look as she gets lost in her own thoughts for a moment, Nanako glances over at her a moment later before looking to Suijin once more. There's a note of hesitancy in her tone as she asks her next question, because approaching the older gods by herself is a little different than anything she'd done before.

Well, except for Ammy, but she'd been out on the beach already anyway, and Nanako hadn't realized who she was. ]

If I go ask to meet with him, would he let me? Isn't he really important? Do I need an appointment?

[Homura is used to everybody completely ignoring her. There's nothing to tell her that won't happen here, so she just accepts it.

Fuujin it is.]

[sweetspringwater]

[A small, soft laugh comes from her.]

As the god of wind, yes, he is rather important. At the very least I will tell him to expect you, but making an appointment- I believe such a courtesy would go over well with him. [After a beat her smile grows a little more.]

I would recommend making an appointment through his exemplar. She may assist you well.

[welcome_home]

[ Nanako smiles brightly at that. ]

Okay, I will make an appointment with his shinki. Ahh... who is his shinki? Can I find her here?

[ That sounded like a much less intimidating way of doing it than just wandering up to another of the old gods and saying hi. ]

[timeshields]

What is his exemplar like?

[sweetspringwater]

[But it would be so very interesting to see what would happen if you did!]

[Of course, she would see Nanako succeed as smoothly as possible.]

Here, I will give you Kaede’s contact information.

[And Suijin pulls out her cell phone to send that to Nanako immediately.] Wait a little while before contacting her – I will tell her to expect your call. I will also tell Fuujin to expect your visit.

[She then turns a wise smile on Haruka.] You should make your own impressions of Kaede. However, as I said, I believe she will be a good help to you.

You have now taken upon yourselves several important tasks. Do not push yourselves to hard.

[ Nanako wiggles down off her chair and tugs out her phone to make sure she got the information before beaming up at Suijin happily. Remembering her manners, she dips into a polite bow of gratitude before the older god. ]

Thank you, Suijin! We'll do our best to make a good impression. And we will contact his shinki soon to make an appointment. [ Although that has her casting a sideways glance at Homura again as she straightens. ] Are you sure you're okay with coming too?

[ Since she's realized she'd gotten caught up in what she could do to help without asking Homura what she might want to do about this. ]

[timeshields]

[Homura does not offer a bow this time. Just a slight incline of her head.

Just what have they gotten themselves into?]

I won't let you meet him alone.
