Who: (Saruhiko) Fushimi + you
When: IC August 23rd-30th
Where: Around
What: So apparently those two jackass teenaged shinki are staying. Fushimi doesn't approve of this and is getting the heck out for a while.

[Yeah, so, after realizing Roy had taken in two abandoned shinki and that one of them was the Asshole from the Festival and the other his strangely codependent best friend (which Fushimi thought was concerning and really he should maybe try to fix that (yes, the irony is lost on him)), Fushimi has been doing his best to either hide in is bedroom or be anywhere not the damn temple. He can't really get mad at Roy for taking them in. He was a genuinely decent guy and sure, Fushimi was now dealing with this fear of being replaced if one of the brats was a weapon better suited for Roy, but he also knew he was the exemplar and, frankly, there would be few abilities better than his for fighting so he's okay. He swears.

Still getting out for a while.]

The Far Shore

[Fushimi is most likely going to be found around Njord's temple a lot. Misaki is there, after all, even if he's not really keen on the whole "beach" air she's got going on here. He'll also spend a lot of time just sort of. Sitting outside of it, texting Misaki to come invite him or waiting for the idiot to get back so he can be let in, typing away at his laptop.

This may or may not be creepy. Feel free to call him out on this.

Or feel free to see him wandering around, bored and poking at his phone.]

The Near Shore

[Sometimes he gets bored of being dead and heads into Tokyo. Usually, this is to find some tech something, as the more Fushimi messes with technology the more he realizes that he can make more interesting things. Still, parts are always useful, as are games, so he does often find something to buy.

Please don't ask how he gets this money. He does not want to explain "forum moderation" and "freelance codework" to someone he doubts will get it.

And he certainly doesn't want anyone to bring up the questionable legality of some of the freelance he does. What are morals?]

Wildcard!

[Want to do a thing I didn't mention? Let me know!]

Are you lost?

[ The voice seems to come out of nowhere, but is actually from the tiny six-year-old hovering somewhere over his head from where she'd been flying past this morning. She peers down at where Saru is perched outside with his laptop, thinking this seems like a very strange place for it. ]

[monkeyblue]

Tch, no I'm--

[He looks around and, finding no one, looks up.

Congratulations, Nanako, you have rendered Saruhiko Fushimi momentarily dumb.]

What the fuck? You can fly?

[What is minding his language?]

[welcome_home]

That's a bad word, you shouldn't say things like that.

[ Although she doesn't sound as upset as she could about it, breaking into a giggle at his baffled expression as she lowers down beside him. ]

Yeah! It's fun!

[monkeyblue]

[Like he cares what a six year old says.]

Since when could you fly?

[welcome_home]

Mmmm, since I got here maybe? But it took me a long time to figure out how. I didn't know I could at first.

[monkeyblue]

Tch. Do you do anything safely?

[welcome_home]

[ She blinks at him in confusion. ]

What do you mean?

[monkeyblue]

Throwing knives, now flying....do you do anything that's actually safe?

[welcome_home]

It's safe. Sort of. [ She scratches a fingertip against her cheek in thought. ]I'm careful. But I'm a god. I have things I need to do. I can shoot a bow, too!

[monkeyblue]

Who taught you archery?

[welcome_home]

Ahh, my friend Niles! [ Her expression brightens at this. ] He's really good. My shinki, Homura, she turns into a bow so he's been helping me get better.

[monkeyblue]

Tch. What kind of place gives kids weapons like that?

[welcome_home]

[ She blinks, a little confused. ] This place, I guess? I had another shinki and he turned into a hairpin that was a dagger, too. That's why I wanted you to teach me how. But... [ Her expression falls. ] He didn't stay very long, so. I guess I don't need to learn after all.

[monkeyblue]

It was rhetorical.

[Children.]

Tch, at least archery is less likely to end with you stabbing yourself.

[welcome_home]

[ She looks mildly offended at that. ]

I can be careful!

[monkeyblue]

You lack the fine and gross motor control of an adult. Just because you can be careful doesn't mean you're not likely to get injured all the same.

[welcome_home]

[ She still looks offended. Especially because she's not sure she understood. Had he just called her gross? ]

But wouldn't I get hurt more if I don't know what I'm doing?

[monkeyblue]

Tch, only if you're too stubborn to listen to sense.

[welcome_home]

I'm listening! But I still have to go answer prayers and keep people safe. I don't want anyone else to get hurt because I couldn't protect them.
