Who: Nekhbet's flock temple (Shun, Fubuki, Reisi)
When: July 19th, morning
Where: Some nebulous place on the Far Shore
What: Mission 9, tracking a masked ayakashi.
Warnings: Potential mentions/descriptions of Johan's death if the subject comes up.

[As if things haven't been both dangerous and active enough around the Far Shore recently, Shun just had to overhear two of the advisors' shinki squabbling childishly over whether they'd really seen a masked ayakashi. It's not the kind of thing he can ignore, even with several other problems on his mind, and at the very least, he figures it might be a chance to see how his temple residents work together with the addition of Reisi.

So it is they've returned to the location of the argument, Shun heading over to investigate the patch of woodland the arguing shinki had been gesturing at. It's a little old, and not all the prints are clear, but there's definitely some not entirely natural ones marking the ground and heading deeper into the woods. Crouching down to study them, Shun raises his gaze after a few moments to look further into the trees.]

It's a good place for an ambush...and not one from us.

Understood.

[Having finished taking out the picture, he puts his phone away and takes out a cloth to wrap up the mask. Reisi may not be able to hear Fubuki like this, but it's best to avoid contact with evidence and to preserve its condition as much as possible.

Since Reisi's new, he's curious as to who his god might ask about it.]

Who do you have in mind?

Define "feeling dangerous". [Shun's tone is a little dry, given running into a trigger-happy enough old god in possession of a mask like this would probably be dangerous of itself. Nonetheless, he does have the general idea of what Fubuki means, and he doesn't seem too fussed by Reisi wanting to wrap it up before they leave. He does hold it out rather carefully, though, making sure Reisi doesn't actually have to touch it without the cloth barrier to get it wrapped.]

Suijin if I run into her, or Yukine or Yato since they've apparently encountered some of this sort of thing before. There's one or two newer gods I'll think about, but I don't think any of them specialise in this sort of thing, so it'll be a long shot.

[Despite Shun's dry tone, Fubuki answers seriously.] If it feels like something is trying to press into you. [In other words, he'd meant "hang onto it" literally; giving it to someone hadn't actually crossed his mind, despite what Shun had said about having someone look at it.]

[Speaking of—he is being bad at his appointed task by watching them wrap it up, but he can't help it. Especially not after Reisi had brought up the possibility of the mask being able to control other things. He can't say he's relieved when the mask is covered, but there isn't exactly a way to seal it away or anything right now.]

Path's clear.
