When: Backdated to August 1
Where: The Near Shore
What: Prayer 40


[ With the Babysitting Job from Hell wrapped up (thank all the gods), Yata and Saru had headed out to the place they were supposed to meet Butch later in the day. Only the quiet street they'd parted ways on this morning was not quite so quiet and empty now. In fact, it looked like half the town had crowded into the shops and stalls set up here, making it seem like there was a sea of people stretching from one end of the street to the other.

Rounding the corner, his hands propped behind his head as he chatted with Saru, Yata stops short and stares at the sight in surprise. ]

Uhh. I think our plans might have just been changed on us. Hopefully, your god can still find you out here because I'm not sure it's possible to find anyone in there.

Comments

[lovemguns]

Yeah.

[ Hopefully Yata won’t lose focus again.

It’s not like he’s not used to snark, and he can find it pretty amusing. ]

I’ve been trainin’ after all. I wouldn’t want’a disappoint.

[ At least it shows, and carving through ayakashi isn’t the most difficult thing he’s ever done. ]

[thevanguard]

[ Yata snickers as he skids into a tight circle, sparks shooting out of the back wheels of his skateboard as he dodges the lunge of a nearby ayakashi, swerving to maneuver between playground equipment, children, and the horde of things now pursuing him.

Considering he can only hear one half of the conversation - but suspects Saru can still hear him anyway - he calls back over his shoulder. ]

Don't tell me he's bitching already. Still?

[monkeyblue]

[If a sword could move on its own, Misaki would be minus one functioning leg.

As it stands:]

Roy, do me a favor and slice close to that idiot's left ear.

[lovemguns]

[ He chuckles, because this is sort of familiar, it’s making him a bit happy despite the situation. ]

He ain’t, and I won’t.

[ Besides the fact that he’s a bit busy, he wouldn’t do that either way. ]

[thevanguard]

Won't what? Oh, now he's bitching about me.

[ Yata gives a happy laugh as he hops up over a slide, skating up the ramp to perch precariously at the top and smirk down at the ayakashi who slip and slide and fail to follow him up. ]

Maybe I'm glad you're the only one that can hear him for the moment. [ Said with a cheeky grin as he gestures at the pile of ayakashi leaping and fuming at the bottom of the slide. ] They're all yours!

[monkeyblue]

I am going to shove him off that ramp when I have arms again...

[Just let him know when you need him to rend.]

[lovemguns]

Awright.

[ So long as the shinki is wielded by their god, they rend...apparently. Which is pretty useful, but it would be good if asking the shinki to rend was a thing. ]

You kids sure are lively.

[ And such good friends, too. ]

[thevanguard]

[ Yata just laughs from where he perches on the top of the slide and continues to taunt the pissy little things to keep them clustered just out of reach of him. But it gives Roy and Saru ample opportunity to pick them off, weeding them out until one by one, each of them is dealt with and the daycare yard falls surprisingly quiet again. No more ayakashi means no more wailing and crying from the babies. Even the workers look relieved - if a little confused about what was happening.

Yata pumps a fist in the air in victory atop the slide. ]

Fuck yeah!

[ ....man it's a good thing no one else here can see or hear him right now because what is watching your language in front of kids? ]

[monkeyblue]

[Very handy.

As the ayakashi are rended Fushimi occasionally makes a comment about how stupid that one was or how stupid Misaki is being right now. Once they're all gone, he sighs.]

Finally. Turn me back?

[lovemguns]

[ Some people swears, no matter if it’s in front of kids or not. Even someone raised around a home where they apologized for even small pseudo-swears that wasn’t even bad. But they’re not noticeable to the mortals, so Roy decides to not mention it.

But it’s good, to finally have finished off the last of the ayakashi. ]

Yeah. Return, Fushimi.

Yata, you’re fine?

[thevanguard]

[ Yata stays crouched at the top of the slide until the last of the ayakashi is dealt with. Then, hopping on his board, he skates down the slide to land in front of the god and Saru once more, grinning from ear to ear. ]

Yeah, I'm fine. None of 'em even got close. Nice work.

[monkeyblue]

Mhm.

[Now that he has arms again, Fushimi is just going to.

Grab Misaki by the shoulders and put him in a headlock just long enough to bonk him over the head with a fist.]

Idiot.

[lovemguns]

[ Roy snorts and chuckles, watching the two shinki. ]

Y’both do seem lively still.

[thevanguard]

Ow! Leggo! Jerk! Hey!

[ Yata struggles in vain against the headlock, but he's laughing at the same time. When Saru releases him, he sticks his tongue out at his friend before grinning at Roy. ]

I guess so, yeah. But why not? We did good, right?
