Like the Barenaked Ladies
Who: Shizuo and OPEN
When: August 7th-13th
Where: Specified with each prompt
What: Let's just say that it's been quite a week.
I. Ra's Third Destruction - August 7th (Temple of Ra)
[ It'd been a while, and Izumo hadn't shown up at the bar. Like at all. Which was starting to get Shizuo very concerned. Enough that he did something that he would otherwise never go about doing; Actually invite himself to Mikoto/Ra's temple. Imagine his surprise when there were two giant and neon purple, pink and green centipedes crawling all over the structure and already having started to break through the walls' integrity. ]
Ah... Shit.
[ There's no borderline, which meant something happened to Izumo. Which has the blond looking to see if he can grab someone to run assistance. And him without those damn gauntlets that were made for this exact thing. ]
II. Double Vision Delivery - August 7th (The Far Shore)
[ While not in the best state right now, Shizuo was walking down the paths and across the Far Shore with two people that were in far worse shape than he was. If being comatose and snoozing away counted as worse shape, at least. Which meant anyone could see the awkward scene of Shizuo trying to carry the two over one shoulder, as his other arm hung limp as a wet noodle at his side.
Look, it's weird and out in the open for anyone to see. That can't be helped. It's less awkward than the destroyed temple. ]
III. Double Cross's Delayed Debut - August 8th-10th (Double Cross Bar)
[ This was about the time that Double Cross was supposed to officially open for business. It was certainly supposed to be one of these days. However the bar had this thing going on where, despite the time it was actively being renovated, people could still be served if they showed up and Izumo was around. The supplies were in, everything was cleaned up and that wall of photos had started to get filled out.
Now there was a different blond in place, manning the bar. Not that everyone noticed when they first got in; after all, they looked similar enough for some people. The main thing is that they sounded different. Shizuo's voice was deeper, despite being the thinner/more waif of the two. The other is that this blond wore a black vest instead of a nice suit jacket, though both were suitable for a bartender's uniform. ]
Welcome.
IV. Poor Man's Football - August 9th - 13th (Abandoned Temples)
[ Hearing strange and loud sounds from the abandoned temples is nothing new. Unless you haven't been here for long, it was a regular enough occurrence that it usually meant someone was training or working on something.
This time, though it was hard to tell when or how he got them there (or from where,) there was a junk car and motorcycle on the temple property. Given the notice for being crushed, they weren't stolen from someone who would actually care enough to miss it. Neither had wheels, and judging by the lack of shattered fiberglass and filaments, the lights were also gone.
Today's disastrous sounds were coming from Shizuo, currently bound with one arm in a sling, trying to kick the motorcycle carcass up to bounce up onto his knee. The trick isn't kicking it up- it's managing the height and angle to easily get to his knee. Just as the difficulty for any other football trick is. ]
C'mon. I know I can do this...
V. Cat Tower Tribulations - August 9th - 12th (Aine's Temple)
[ After getting his shoulder looked at, and 'advised' to wear the sling again for a few days, there was a new challenge that started presenting itself. For, at the temple, there were two sets of problems. By two sets, that meant two striped kittens that went by the names Eun and Min. When he wore the sling for all of the first two days after the ablution, they weren't a problem because he was mostly sleeping that time away. Now he was moving around, and with one arm unable to stop them, it wasn't long until they realized he was a moving cat tower.
The problem is that he didn't know they were there until he saw something, and that only alerted him to one of the felines. If he saw the grey striped one, then the brown one was probably on his back or something. This was probably one of their more favorite games. ]
Oi, stop- Dammit, not again.
[ Help. ]

that's good!
[She chuckled at that. It definitely didn't seem like he was in a rush to get there.]
Eh--is that okay? Won't the people living there mind?
no subject
no subject
[That seemed..kind of eerie. But at least she didn't have to worry about intruding.
Alex follows him inside one of the houses, grateful for the shade.]
You seem pretty used to these stairs. Have you been here a while now?
no subject
[ Honestly, Shizuo would feel weirder if the villagers that obviously used to live in these buildings were still around. If only for what that meant. The main thing Shizuo's gonna do is make sure the two sleepy heads were down and propped against a wall or something. ]
Couple of months, just about. I found out pretty early on that I'm used to walking a lot, and if I feel lazy enough, I could just jump up the sheer sides.
[ Which mostly came with the convenience of a shinki's lightness, but also because he had the strength to go up that high. ]
no subject
I'm used to the walking, and stairs even, but this is just something else.
[Alex chuckles softly as she helps Shizuo with putting the men down. They really were out out like a light. Once they were done, she circled her shoulders, stretching her arms for a bit with a sigh.]
Are..you a shinki, Shizuo?
[She just assumed with how he said "found out," that maybe his memories weren't all there. If that was the case, it was most likely he was a shinki. \]
no subject
Yeah, I am.
[ He'd be tempted to do the same with rolling his shoulders, but it's a pain when he's only allowed to do that with one of them. ]
Not exactly a great one, but I'm working on figuring it out.
no subject
[She glances back at the other two for a moment before looking back at him.]
You shoulder..what happened to it?
no subject
I found out I was blighting my god, so to keep it from happening ever again, I fought to try and force her into revoking my name instead of getting an ablution. A couple of people with weird dragon-ish limbs fought back. The shoulder thing happened during that whole show.
I'm, uh, kind of an idiot a lot of the time.
no subject
[Well, she did ask.]
That...sounds really rough, I'm sorry...
[She had no comment on the dragon-ish limbs. It probably wasn't as strange as it looked in her mind.]
I take it she didn't revoke your name.
no subject
[ Dragons were definitely a theme for this goddess. It was not only a feature of the temple, but aside from the weird limbs Shizuo described, he adjusts his hand that was in the sling. His shinki brand could easily be seen on the back of it. ]
She's as stubborn as I can be dumb.
no subject
[That he'd want her to revike his name so she wouldn't get hurt, and that she wouldn't let him go just like that... They both seemed like nice people. Alex wondered if other gods and shinkis were like that with each other.]
no subject
[ Shizuo just sees himself as selfish and dumb. It's fine, he just counts that as the result of his insecurities. ]
no subject
[Being that way surely is better than the opposite. Alex moves to get some water, looking back at him.]
How about you?
no subject
no subject
[Alex could sympathize with that. That was her worry about getting a shinki. Her current one doesn't..seem to really mind anything, and for the most part keeps to herself. She figured that's how it was for soulless shinki. The other shinkis she's met were different, and she worried about being a good enough god for one if she were to be assigned her own.]
