Open-ish ♔ Un, deux, trois
Who: Hibiki & YOU! (prompts for Maria, Elfnein, Kuroyukihime, Lavi, & Chinatsu)
When: August 29 - September 1
Where: Far Shore Library, Apollo's temple, the Near Shore
What: Missions, prayers, and the sun's short fuse getting even shorter.
[ I. Library - Open, followers/exp for Maria, Elfnein, Kuroyukihime, & Lavi ]
[ Didn't this place used to have more staff?
Ah, well. Hibiki is sequestered at a table, attempting to read the largest, most ornate book on Pr--ugh, Greek mythology she could find. Other books are open on the table to various pages, most of which show things like people staring up at the sun in awe, satyrs gamboling merrily, and a woman being turned into a tree.
Hibiki may not be Narcissus, but she sure is reading up on herself. And a stack of the books are, inch by inch, moving as if of their accord towards the edge of the the table....
If they tip over, and they will soon, there's going to be a tremendous crash.
Alternatively, you could check out the other side of the table. There, Hibiki has her laptop open to pricing...the Japanese stock market, it seems...and has a bunch of thick books of business history. One of them has a purple bookmark with a gold tassel in it, which opens to a chapter about Sendai. ]
[ II. Apollo's temple - Open ]
[ There is a barricade in the hallway.
You walk into Apollo's temple, head down the path that takes you to living quarters and not to the amusement park (though you're welcome to use that, too - the noise of the rides being open might attract an audience), and you will find your path blocked by a whole bunch of tables, ottomans, chairs, and loveseats turned on their side and stacked up atop each other.
On the other side of the barricade, someone is coughing. They do not sound happy.
And the air is full of jangly wind chime noises. ]
[ III. The Near Shore - Open ]
No. This car. Credit, check, or cash is no object.
[ Hibiki is arguing with a station assistant in the subway, pointing at a train that's now boarding. ]
I'm willing to sell it back afterwards, so direct me to the authorities! Doesn't this organization pride itself upon service?!
[ She's missed a piece of paper that's fallen out of her pocket. She won't notice if you pick it up to read it.
It says:
"Dear box office god-sama,
Thank you for the lozenges before my audition. They were my favorite flavor!
Thanks to those, my throat relaxed, and I managed to pass!!! Now I have one last round, but it's in the big city, and I'm scared of being alone on the train. Please, please watch over me." ]
[ IV. The Near Shore - Closed to Chinatsu ]
Are you ready?
[ Hibiki has been waiting, in a tuxedo, for Chinatsu to open the door after being given a prom dress to wear for this outing. Whatever kind of dress Chinatsu has always dreamed of wearing, even if she doesn't realize it, even if she's forgotten - that's what was in the box Hibiki brought for her.
Genius comes in many forms. Mostly useless, aesthetic ones. ]

/just puts shades on from the blinding splendor
[ Delphi, Delpri... either way. Noting that down too. '
PossibleLikely location: Delphi ]I suppose someone's going to have to make arrangements... unless we decide to just randomly show up one day.
the splendor's too much to handle
I vote for making arrangements, but in the end, it's your decision, Hibiki.
[Even though he completely worries how Hibiki would actually go at it.]

[ By. Someone. Depends how busy Wendy is whether it'll be her or Hibiki personally. The oracles did recently send her a wax tablet... ]
What else did you find?
[ Give her the Priff Notes. Except not by that name. Geniuses don't require study aids. ]
no subject
But there's a hum of thought as she looks through her books again, finally pausing as she catches something of interest. ]
I knew there'd be something here... Thargelia. Held on the 6th or 7th of the month of Thargelion, estimated to be around May. Apparently Artemis and Apollo's birthday.
