[open] a dove came to me, had no fear
Who: Shun and you! Plus closed prompts for Chinatsu, Reisi and Ren.
When: A-B: September 6th, C: September 7th, D: September 5th, E: September 6th (Evening), F: September 7th (Afternoon/Evening)
Where: Temple Nekhbet (Central District) and various spots around the Far Shore, mostly.
What: Open: Shun remembers a friend, starts training himself to teleportspam, and arranges some flowers while a jealous possessed plushie tries to make senpai notice it. Closed: Shun gains a new ally, finally sorts out his temple library, and actually goes on a date for once.
[Open Prompts A-C]
[A: Temple Nekhbet Grounds, September 6th, Morning]
[It's a little overdue, Shun thinks.
The first week after losing Yuto had mostly just been anger, and he hadn't really trusted himself to put it to any use more productive than punching things. And people eventually started questioning how productive that was considering he'd looked like he was about to collapse from sleep deprivation at the end of it all. But Wendy had made a good point in the midst of that - Yuto might be gone, but he doesn't need to be forgotten. There are ways to remember people that don't just rely on the mind.
So a little distance from the front of his temple and the garden, by the lotus-filled canal that runs through the grounds, he's put together a neat little circle of stones. There's nothing special about them but how selectively they've been picked out - they're a uniform dark grey, all of similar shape, and smoothed down to a faint sheen. Within the small area marked out by them, there's a patch of upturned soil, and a cluster of black calla lilies lies next to it, all neatly dug up in full with their roots intact. As it turns out, there's not a lot of purple flowers that are associated enough with death to be in Shun's garden, but this is the next best thing.
Though he's largely preoccupied with replanting the flowers, crouched down in front of the stone circle with a look of clear focus on his face, as ever, it's difficult to get within about ten feet of Shun before he turns his head, eying off the newcomer.]
You should pay more attention to where you are. [Ignoring that he trespasses on other temple grounds constantly. He was just hoping to not be interrupted.]

[B: Various Areas of the Far Shore, September 6th, Afternoon]
[As is typical of Shun's lacking ability to actually express his upset to anyone, he's instead distracting himself from the earlier construction of the memorial by putting some time in for training. However, this is...slightly more unusual training than he's generally prone to.
It's not like he hasn't teleported in quick succession before - he did it back when a certain shinki went on a flaming rampage through the Heavens. But it's taken him this long to really settle on practicing it as something combative. He hates the idea of relying on his god powers in a fight, but there's so many people here with powers they brought from their own worlds that Shun knows he's putting himself at a disadvantage by not honing his own as much as he can.
As such, he's hitting two birds with one stone. In various clearings around the Far Shore, some may come across a dishevelled-looking woman in a yukata, holding one arm out in the necessary position for a borderline. She seems to be waiting for something, and about a second later, Shun appears from thin air, holding a straightforward wooden staff. In a practice like this, he doesn't want any weapon that's going to do too much damage if it hits.
Kotori draws a borderline and catches the staff as Shun swings it. As soon as they collide, he vanishes again, and she draws two more borderlines to encircle herself. In a series of short, rapid teleports, Shun appears on various sides of the borderlines, striking out with his weapon before disappearing and reappearing somewhere else. By the time he stops, he lets out a harsh breath as if he's exerted himself more than expected.
Kotori, on the other hand, is paying a bit more attention to any audience and offering them a faint, amused smile, though Shun ends up looking the way she is before too long.]
I think we have a visitor, Kurosaki-sama...

[C: Temple Nekhbet, September 7th]
[There's some...interesting noises coming from a certain temple ground in the Central District today. Those being the sounds of some particularly merry vultures, and the faint puffing of something large and soft being bounced around.
It doesn't take much more than passing the grounds to be able to spot a pack of about two dozen vultures gliding around, some downy-headed and others with the more typical nude pink and wrinkly skin. There's a hawk plushie being bounced around between them almost like some weird game of catch.
When one of the vultures misses, the plushie hits the ground, and immediately starts bounding back towards the large hill that makes up the temple here. Sitting on the flat part of the hill above the ground floor of the temple, Shun has a substantial amount of red spider lilies and resurrection lilies sitting around him, and he's carefully threading them one-by-one into an arrangement. It's a large one, red lilies making up a swirl amidst the paler pink ones.
As the plushie approaches, he looks up with a frown, but one of the vultures collects it with a side-swiping swoop first, knocking it back towards the others so they can continue playing. Apparently satisfied, Shun turns his attention back to his work, though glancing up at anyone who might have come to observe the display.]
Don't mind them. They're on guard duty. [And Shun offers exactly no context for that statement, though he is definitely keeping an eye on anyone unfamiliar to him who might be on his grounds.]

[Closed Prompts D-F]
[D: Closed to Chinatsu, Western District, September 5th]
[Despite not actually living in the Western District, Shun still has to patrol there by virtue of it having most of the population here. If anything too big gets in there, a lot of people will be in danger, so it's one of the places he likes to keep a close eye on. He's just headed a little off a nice running path on the outskirts of the district when he hears the sound of snarling and heavy movement through the trees, and hesitates. That doesn't sound like anything he should be leaving as is...but he doesn't have any of his shinki with him right now, considering Kotori patrolled with him last night already. And if he leaves this thing to get one of them, there's the possibility it might escape, or worse, advance while he's gone.
The sound of someone jogging nearby catches his attention, though, and Shun's eyes narrow slightly as he moves to block the path before Chinatsu gets too close.]
Hold on. You don't want to draw the attention of whatever's in there.

[E: Closed to Reisi, Temple Nekhbet, Evening September 6th]
[The area to the right of Shun's front door on the ground floor doesn't tend to see a lot of use, unless it's him going down the stairs to train. The doors beyond the stairs on the main floor, though, all lead into a small, but overstocked library, which Shun hasn't done a great deal with since getting here. It's about as terribly organised as the actual Heavens' library is, though, and by this point, he's figured it's about time to sort that out.
One of the library doors is open, and the sound of heavily thudding books is clearly audible through it. Every so often, there's a break in it, and after a while, a quiet remark on one of the books Shun's picked up. It's a thick encyclopedia on sea creatures, something which he considers to have no real reason to be here, but he gives a faint snort nonetheless.]
Maybe I should show this to that guy...

[F: Closed to Ren, Temple Inanna, Near Shore, Temple Nekhbet, Afternoon/Evening September 7th]
[They've been together for two months, yet Shun was somehow still surprised at the suggestion of actually going on a proper date with Ren considering what a lot of their time together is spent like. Or a proper-ish date. Shun isn't quite sure flagrant abuse of the hundred flavour ice cream trucks counts as a proper date, but it does definitely sound like the kind of thing he would've expected Ren to suggest.
Still, he's not exactly experienced with these sorts of matters, and though he's gotten the "flowers" part right enough with the flower arrangement he made earlier in the day (and he even used lilies that wouldn't harm the cats), the "arrival" part is a little less well-executed.
Or a lot. Considering Shun is just going to show up on Ren's bedroom balcony about halfway through the afternoon, sitting on the railing with the flower arrangement in both hands and his back turned to the window. He's not too dressed up, but he's at least wearing something different than usual, the blue dress shirt they picked out when they went formal clothes shopping a while ago worn informally over close-fitting black pants and a pair of boots that fall somewhere between calf and knee high.
It would probably be striking if he actually knew how you were supposed to show up to a date.]
