19 | Peaceful Departure

Who: Everyone!
What: Celebrating Obon
When: Evening August 10
Where: The Near Shore
Summary: Mortals may be partying, but there's lots of work for the denizens of the Far Shore to do.



It's the final day of Obon and spirits are being sent back to their homes -- both the ancestral spirits that have been welcomed home for the duration of the festival and the mischievous spirits that have been plaguing the Heavens. But some of them might not go easy, so Amaterasu has requested that gods and shinki old and new alike help ensure the spirits' peaceful departure.



Mukae-bi

    Fires have been lit on hillsides and near cemeteries to lead the spirits back to their resting places and to protect them on their way, but angry ghosts and ayakashi are trying to quench the fires so they can attack weaker spirits. Keep the firewood stocked and the fires blazing high while you fight off the attacks.


Heavenly Exorcisms

    It's time to bring any possessed household items to the Near Shore to ensure that the spirits are sent safely on their way. Some might go peacefully, while others might have to be purified by fire in order to set the spirits free. Hope you weren't too attached to that chair.

    (Careful... spirits that manage to hide from the housecleaning can become permanent guests!)


Guarding the Gates

    Hidden pathways into the underworld in caves throughout Japan are open from sunset to moonset on this night to allow the spirits who have temporarily left to return. Gods and shinki must watch over these pathways and ensure that no dangerous ayakashi take the opportunity to escape from the underworld before the moon sets.


After-party

    After the moon sets, the denizens of the Heavens can finally kick back. Everyone is invited to a private hot spring on the Far Shore, where a midnight banquet spread is waiting in thanks for their hard work. Wash off any blight in the hot springs and enjoy the banquet before heading back home for a good night's sleep.




In Summary:
  • Keep the fires burning
  • Exorcise those annoying spirits
  • Fight powerful ayakashi
  • Enjoy a banquet
  • Have fun~

I'm not putting you in that kind of risk.

[ So, don't ask. ]

You're as difficult as ever. Even the hit on the head hasn't changed how stubborn you are.

[ Somehow his response came off both as a compliment and an insult. ]

In any case, I hate it when you beat around the bush. Whatever happens to me is my responsibility is it not?
moonlitknight: (Don't give me that Bullshit)

[personal profile] moonlitknight 2017-08-04 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
I'm your brother I'm a god. It's my responsibility to protect you.

[personal profile] forsakens 2017-08-04 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
Sup Bro We have no contract. You are not responsible for what happens to me on that regard.

[ Because he knows there's other reasons why you do this. ]
moonlitknight: (Hunter Leader  †  Explain Yourself)

[personal profile] moonlitknight 2017-08-05 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't need to own you to protect you.

[ shut up, ichiru. there's no reasons. just take his explanation and leave it be. ]
forsakens: (💫 ᴏᴠᴇʀ ᴛʜᴇ sʜᴏᴜʟᴅᴇʀ)

[personal profile] forsakens 2017-08-05 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Then why?

[ Something he's repeated several times already. Though, Zero doesn't have any memories of the past, it was the first or second time he's heard Ichiru firmly ask that question. ]

Why are you interested in someone who doesn't even recall who you are and who has not once treated you kindly? In fact, you do not even have any memories of what had happened prior to you waking up. Answers such as "Because we are related" or "Because it's my duty," are not relevant. I also won't take the excuses of turning into a Ayakashi or it's for my own good.

[ Because he's heard those lines so many damn times. He's so tired of them. He's tired of being treated like he was made of glass, that he'd break knowing certain things. He hated feeling like he can't take a risk for his own identity. ]

[personal profile] moonlitknight 2017-08-05 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
You know why I can't tell you. No god can without reparations.

[ He steps forward then, his few inches in height forcing him to look down at his twin. ]

Keep asking and I'll be forced to keep you away, Ichiru.
forsakens: (💫 ᴀɴ ᴇᴍᴘᴛʏ ᴍᴇss)

[personal profile] forsakens 2017-08-05 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He sighs shrugging. ]

I figured as much. You'll never give me the answers I want.

[ Ichiru looked back at Zero who was only but a few inches taller than him hovering over him. It was worth a try. He's not going to press it-- memory or no. It seems like he's the same as ever. ]

Can I trust you?

[ Fine, he'll drop it for now. Because he's terribly insecure to this point and still was quite jaded in regards to how people viewed him. It was much easier pushing people away then accepting them. ]
moonlitknight: (Noble)

[personal profile] moonlitknight 2017-08-05 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A strong unwavering gaze. ]

I won't betray you.

[ That was the only truth he knew how to give at this point with Ichiru's revival still playing a tune wit his heart. ]
forsakens: (💫 ᴜɴᴄᴀʀɪɴɢ)

[personal profile] forsakens 2017-08-06 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ That's all he really needs to know as he turns around. ]

Alright.

[ He spoke after a long moment of silence. ]

I hope you will uphold such convictions.

[ Perhaps, it was the closest thing he could say on how much he trusted Zero's. Memory or no, his answer would suffice. ]
moonlitknight: (Noble)

[personal profile] moonlitknight 2017-08-06 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
I don't break my promises.

[ Even if he forgot them. ]
forsakens: (💫 ʜᴍᴍᴍᴍ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪs ɪᴛ?)

[personal profile] forsakens 2017-08-06 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
We'll have to see with due time ne?

[ He replied offering the other a brief look over his shoulder. ]

In any case, you should try not to be so careless.

[ Since they're moving on and he no longer wants to talk about this topic. Never mind that he had his own injuries to attend to. ]
moonlitknight: (Heh)

[personal profile] moonlitknight 2017-08-06 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
Careful Ichiru.

[ Zero cups his hand and draws some holy water up, letting it run down his blighted shoulder. ]

You almost sound like you care.
forsakens: (💫 ʙᴀᴄᴋ ᴏꜰꜰ)

1/2 : Zero shut it you are delusional

[personal profile] forsakens 2017-08-06 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ What part of what he said was -- caring?!

Ichiru had stopped for a moment, caught by what he had just said. Of course, he didn't show that expression to Zero since he was looking directly at him. ]

[personal profile] forsakens 2017-08-06 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
You're reading into it too much.

[ He replied after that pause. ]

You'd be of no use to me if you were indisposed of.

[ It's almost the complete truth. He wouldn't admit he's become...partially attached and the last month without Zero had been more than proof of his own uneasiness. ]
moonlitknight: (Heh)

He remembers your confession. Zero I don't hate you means Zero I love you in Tsun talk.

[personal profile] moonlitknight 2017-08-06 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ He's reading exactly what he means. You forget, he held you at the last, he knows you don't hate him and this, all of it, is an act. An act he's perfectly willing to let you keep for the time being. ]

Then I better not let that happen.
forsakens: (💫 ᴀɴ ᴇᴍᴘᴛʏ ᴍᴇss)

There are no confessions here. Stop saying that and LOLOOL NO!

[personal profile] forsakens 2017-08-06 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ No, he refuses to acknowledge any of this and he will continue to easily divert the conversation away from it as much as he could. Of course he's forgotten. He didn't have a choice in the matter when he became a shinki after all. ]

For once, we are in an agreement.

[ Seeing, how they usually argue against each other. It's really odd that Zero simply just agreed to his statement and accepted it as is. ]
moonlitknight: (I'm Aware of my Addiction)

Ichiru please. He has a fragment of you in his heart. That's like soulmate level love there.

[personal profile] moonlitknight 2017-08-06 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ You're lucky your brother loves you because he's not going to push especially when your memories aren't yours in the first still, hearing even an inkling note of consideration from you is enough to make him happy. ]

I'll remember that.

[ There's a small note of content in his tone as he draws more holy water to pat down over the blight that's getting smaller. ]

But you'll have to do your own part.
Edited 2017-08-06 17:39 (UTC)
forsakens: (💫 ᴏʙsᴇʀᴠᴀɴᴛ)

Just... stop xD lmfao.... no no soulmate level business here!

[personal profile] forsakens 2017-08-06 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Zero is too simple of an individual, taking these small things that Ichiru said so seriously. Honestly, he really thinks that he wants to keep Zero around for the sake of keeping him safe but admitting that is a while different ball park. ]

There is no need for you to remember it, honestly.

[ He sighs before giving Zero a glance... ]

I can't guarantee I will. Perhaps, when If eel up to it.
moonlitknight: (I'm Aware of my Addiction)

[personal profile] moonlitknight 2017-08-06 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, Ichiru, but you don't have a choice in this. It'll be inconvenient if you're indisposed of.

[ Is that a satisfied smirk on the hunter's lips? No, you're just imaging it. ]

You either learn to defend yourself, or you stand behind me.
forsakens: (💫 ᴀɴɴᴏʏᴇᴅ)

[personal profile] forsakens 2017-08-06 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I have a choice in what I choose to do with myself. You can't control that.

[ He replied shooting Zero a dark look for the smirk on his face. He really seriously hates this right now. He's definitely not imagining this at all. ]

I am capable of defending myself and I am not as helpless as to stand behind you.
moonlitknight: (I'm Aware of my Addiction)

[personal profile] moonlitknight 2017-08-06 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
You can do what you want, but I'll only step aside if you don't get hurt in the process.

[ You forget, he can choose to do what he wants too. ]

Then, do it instead of complaining like a grade schooler.
forsakens: @kaibyakuirai (💫 ᴛʀᴏᴜʙʟᴇsᴏᴍᴇ ᴇɴᴄᴏᴜɴᴛᴇʀs)

[personal profile] forsakens 2017-08-08 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
This again?

[ He obviously doesn't get why Zero thinks that it's okay to intervene all the damn time! He would rather take responsibility for his own actions and just suck it up. He doesn't want to be indebted to anyone and he really doesn't want to feel like he is indebted to Zero. ]

Don't you get tired of cleaning after my messes?

[ He sighs. ]

Honestly, why do I try with you?
moonlitknight: (Everyone Burns)

[personal profile] moonlitknight 2017-08-08 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ A look. ]

Is that what I did before?
forsakens: (💫 ᴏᴠᴇʀ ᴛʜᴇ sʜᴏᴜʟᴅᴇʀ)

[personal profile] forsakens 2017-08-11 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
It seems that way to be honest.

[ He might have seen thoughtful. ]
