( open ) ❀ healing magic

[festal]

Who: Sakura and you
When: September 11-13
Where: Hakkai's school/the clinic and Konohanasakuya-hime's shrine
What: Clinic set up and Sakura regains a magic spell!


1. (9/11) Hakkai's School ❀ clinic set up

( It's a day of set up for anyone still willing to help. It helps a lot that Ayumu already had something in the beginning so they're really just building on it some more. Through assorted donations, they've managed to collect a fair amount of supplies and equipment to work with.

Sakura is a small girl-- not even five feet-- and she isn't particularly strong given her lifestyle and profession but that doesn't stop her from pulling her weight if not more... literally. Right now, she's trying to move a particularly large and heavy box. Anyone watching can tell it's something she won't be able to do on her own easily but that doesn't stop her from not asking for help... )

2. (9/12) Hakkai's School ❀ clinic set up

( Since her original announcement about the clinic and subsequent attempts to spread the word, Sakura's been hard at work on this clinic a success. She's normally a reserved person but it's clear that this is something she's really passionate about. Thanks to everyone's efforts, set up has been going smoothly too. They've collected a small assortment of medicines-- over the counter and traditional-- and a considerable collection of first aid supplies ranging from bandages to bottles of blessed water.

On a nearby desk, there is a pile of books. It's mostly on medicine and biology but it looks like there are a few books taken from Hakkai's school as well. Sakura sits at the desk, flipping through the pages and writing neat and careful notes in a notebook. Going off the page she's on, it looks like she's close to filling it completely. But as she writes, her pen trails and her head begins to bob sleepily until her writing stops completely, her breathing becomes rhythmic, and she's fallen asleep while sitting up right.

When she hears someone-- entering the room, coming too close, or suddenly making a noise-- her head shoots up and she shrieks, )

-- I-I'm awake!

3. 9/13 Konohanasakuya-hime's temple ❀ Magic

( Someone's managed to convince her to take a break from work for a bit. It felt nice to sleep in and have some time to herself.

A few days ago, Sakura had woken up in her bed to find a set of unbound talismans in her bed. She'd recognized them right away and had gathered them up quickly, counting to make sure she'd acquired the entire set. She wasn't sure where it came from but after a few days, the talismans were still there. She hadn't had time to experiment since the moon viewing happened right after and then there was work to be done but since she has free time now...

The main courtyard is open enough. She should't disturb anything (like her gardens) here. Gathering up the talismans in her hands, she fans them out in front of her and as if by magic (spoilers: it is), the talismans rise into the air to form a circle in front of her. From the center, a ram charges forward and wow isn't this a great time to walk right into a magical attack when you probably just wanted to share sweets or see who lives here or something? )

O-oh, watch out!

( Luckily for you, the spirit will veer suddenly in the other direction and disappear wispily into the air. The talismans return neatly to her hand and she runs toward you, )

Oh my goodness, are you all right? Are you hurt anywhere?! I'm s-so sorry...!

Comments

1+2 fusion!

[replicatedform]

[Obviously, Yamanbagiri knows about the clinic. He's there to help with some of the setup. At one point, he thought all that work would be tiring on Sakura. Maybe she would appreciate some (more?) snacks? And it would be a good reason as any to take a break.

After he excused himself, Yamanbagiri quickly returns to Konohanasakuya's shrine to pick up something from their kitchen. With two boxes of mochi in his hands, he quickly makes his way back to the clinic.]

Sakura?

[... She sure is obviously just woken up. With a blink, he sighs and walks over. Once he's in front of the desk, he place the boxes down in front of Sakura.]

I got you something sweet, since you've been working hard...

[festal]

( She's quick to sit up straight and try to not look like she was just sleeping at the desk. How embarrassing. Everyone's been working so hard and here she is, dozing off casually... )

You...? ( Wait, what did he do? Ah, she understands now and she looks down at the boxes and then at Yamanbagiri, covering her face some to hide her embarrassment and surprise, ) Oh...!

Th-thank you. ( He had to have left for him to get these things though and, ) I-I'm sorry, I didn't notice you'd left...

[replicatedform]

It's fine, since you're still tired.

[So she either didn't hear him excusing himself or she's already asleep at the time. Yamanbagiri looks at Sakura with some concern in him.]

You can open them now if you want, I think you need a break from all of this.

[He glances at her desk, where all the books are piled up and the notebook she was writing in.]

[festal]

( Making room on the desk, she stacks some of the books and moves her notebook on top of the pile. It's still folded to the page she was working on and it has a list of symptoms and brand names for medicines as well as numbers to show dosages, )

M-maybe you're right. Everyone else is j-just working so hard so I've just been trying to do m-my part too...

[bartenderizing]

[ Shizuo is good at being mostly oblivious, but also showing up at the right place at the right time. Almost as often as he's at the wrong place at the wrong time. After what happened last night at the moon viewing, it seemed like a good idea to maybe start keeping fragile injuries bandaged up. That way it's already covered and with some pressure on the off chance it does open up.

Better than letting Hakkai know of more complications having happened.

Which is when he spots the redhead struggling with a rather large box. ]

Ah, here. Lemme get that- just tell me where you want it.

[ Though athletic, he's incredibly lacking in the muscles department. That doesn't slow him down in going over to pick the box up with ease. Another order from Hakkai that he's forgetting, but at least it's for a good reason. ]

[festal]

( If he's here for some first aid, he's come to the right place. It's still setting up but they can definitely manage something like that easily.

Suddenly, the box feels a lot lighter though to the point she isn't carrying it at all. She jumps back when she sees someone's come to help. Oh, she hadn't even noticed someone was nearby at all, )

Oh-- thank you! ( But who is this? He isn't one of the usual helpers. She's never seen him before and can't help but think that this is a poor first impression, How embarrassing, ) O-over there, please.

( Next to a half filled cabinet. )

I-I'm sorry it's so heavy...!

( Even though he... doesn't appear to be having any problems carrying it. )

[bartenderizing]

Is it?

[ He not only had no problems carrying the box, he honestly couldn't tell just how heavy it was. He figured that, if anything, it was the size that was being the real problem here. Some people don't do well when there's a lot of surface area in their way that needs to be carried.

- Shit. Wait. He wasn't supposed to be carrying anything heavy, was he? ]

Just, uh, don't tell Hakkai that you saw me doing that then. Though I guess it should be fine by now...

[ Setting it down by the cabinet, he looks over and raises a hand in belated greeting. ]

Sorry, I kinda just put myself into things. My name's Shizuo.

[sweetdeath]

Whoa! -- Line!

[Tsuzuki's just stepping out into the courtyard when a summoned creature lunges directly for his face. He falls back a step, the borderline coming as an instant reflex, but the creature (is that a sheep?) veers off and away and disappears before it can even impact the line.

He blows out his breath, letting the line fall, and straightens up, waving a hand reassuringly at Sakura.]

No, it's fine! Seriously, don't worry about it, it didn't hit me-- but that was so cool!

[festal]

( Telling her not to worry is like telling a fish not to swim. She's a natural worrier and she looks so sorry when she finally catches up to him, )

I-I didn't see you there and I'm so, so sorry. ( She bows apologetically and holds the talismans nervously, ) I just wanted see if it really worked and... You really aren't hurt at all?

[sweetdeath]

I'm really not! [He reaches out to ruffle her hair with a teasing smile.]

Seriously, don't worry that much. It didn't even hit my borderline, much less me.

[He lets his hand fall back to his side and peers curiously at the talismans in her hand.]

-- but what was it? I didn't know you could use summons like that!

[reformedsinner]

I'm glad you're awake.

[Hakkai hadn't showed up at the school the previous day, but he's here today, looking around the room with a mild, impressed expression. He's wearing a black turtleneck, a bit more casual than his usual button-down shirts, and glasses instead of his monocle. The frame of his glasses doesn't quite conceal the dark circles under his eyes.

He leans over to look at her book stack curiously.]

... If you fell asleep here, you'd have a terrible crick in your neck. Researching?

[festal]

( To be fair, a lot of people probably took off for the viewing. Sakura had spent the day too excited to focus on clinic things so... She sits up straight and throws her hands over her notebook defensively, trying to hide what is surely poorly taken notes and an embarrassing line just scrawling down a third of a sheet. )

Y-yes. ( She still needs a minute to collect herself, ) The medicine in this world i-is different from what I'm used to so I wanted to familiarize myself with them.

[reformedsinner]

[It had been an unexpectedly tiring night, and with an unexpected amount of bloodshed besides. He'd decided he'd earned a day off.

He smiles at her embarrassed fluster -- he sees that smeared line before her hands flutter across it -- and puts a hand on the back of his neck, playing innocent.]

Ah, yes, it's different from what I'm familiar with too!

But those dry textbooks really aren't that good at keeping you awa-- that is, at keeping your attention, are they?

[Is he teasing? Possibly.]

[bussounoshima]

So I see.

[The loud thud of a box of antibiotics being placed on the desk is probably what woke Sakura. Helping with the clinic set up is something to do- and Sharak badly needs something to do these days- so, while she's no doctor herself, Sharak has been helping gather supplies and organise them. She at least knows enough to have an idea of what they'll need, after all.]

There are better places to take a nap than at your desk, you know.

[festal]

( She hangs her head down, clearly embarrassed, )

You're right. I-I'm sorry... it isn't fair for me to rest w-when others are working. ( That isn't really it and the truth is, she'd only dozed off because she's been working without rest all day but she's always been hard on herself, ) It won't happen again, I promise.

[bussounoshima]

I meant- [Sharak leans over to pluck the book out from Sakura's hands] that you should find somewhere you can lay down and sleep.

[Come on, she doesn't have to go far, Hakkai practically runs a hostel out of here.]

Studying when you're tired is a good way to forget everything the second you're done.

[sageprincess]

[Okay, so. Maybe she shouldn't be exploring around the temples of the other gods, considering they are essentially their residences for the duration of their stay in the Heavens. But it's that very duration that's got her restless, and she's not going inside, besides!

And something about this one in particular feels so familiar...

But she doesn't have time to dwell on that thought, because there's a ram and it's charging right at her, oh Goddesses-- she quickly jumps out of its path, her skirts billowing wildly in the wake of its charge. She spends a moment ensuring her modesty is preserved and smoothing her dress down afterwards, but she is quick to brush off the apologies of the girl dashing her way.]

No, no, the fault is mine! I was not watching where I was going... But I am unharmed, please, do not fret.

[festal]

( All of the reassuring in the world isn't good enough. Sakura looks white like a sheet when she finally catches up to Zelda, holding the talismans tightly in her hands as if she's afraid another spirit might come out on its own. )

N-no! I should have made sure no one else w-was around. ( Eyes tearing, she's so stressed about this now. Here she's gone and almost attacked a guest. ) What a t-terrible first impres...sion--?

( W a i t a s e c o n d )

[sageprincess]

... Princess... Sakura?

[The teary eyes and anxious expression are a far cry from the gentle guide she saw in her dream, but the difference is not so great that she cannot put two and two together. Especially after encountering so many other gods and shinki whose dreams she had invaded, it was only a matter of time before she ran into the one with the most pleasant of them all.

She calms herself with a steeling breath, and places a hand over her heart. Bowing her head, her tone takes a turn for the gravely apologetic.]

On the contrary... I believe I have left the worse impression between the two of us.

1.

[irishfriskey]

[He did want to do more looking around for Mister Caster. So, certainly the school was a good place to start. It seems fairly simple... he'll have to let his god know about this place.

Walking through the halls, he notices a small girl trying to move a giant box, far too heavy for her. Quickly, he moved over.]

Here. I can take that.

[festal]

( She gasps when she hears someone approaching and out of shock, she almost loses her hold. She manages to catch herself, able to set it back down on the ground gently and jumps back. )

I--! ( She's never seen this person before and her shyness begins to kick in, ) N-no, it's alright! Really, I don't w-want to trouble you!

[irishfriskey]

It's no trouble at all.

[He smiles and moves down to pick it up himself. Looking at her with a charming smile.]

I'm not doing anything else anyways. I don't mind giving you a hand.

[He picks it up with relative ease.]

[kokuyoyo]

....Okay.

[Chikusa hadn't asked, but what else is new.]

[Staying near the doorway in a simple black beanie, his gaze flicks over to the pile of books she's gathered up on the desk. More than a few he recognizes, as this is a subject matter he's familiar with himself.... But he won't ask about it. Instead- ]

Is Hakkai around?

[He needs him. For reasons. Reasons that may or may not involved the bandages peeking out from the collar of his shirt.]

[festal]

( She's still not completely awake and a bit flustered so it takes her a moment to answer his question, )

Hakkai-san...? Ah, I h-haven't seen him today, sorry. ( But she tilts her head curiously a bit as she looks him over. ) Do you n-need some help?

[kokuyoyo]

...Such a pain...

[Chikusa is neutral on having him as a god, but just when he's actually trying to find him for once.... Meeting Sakura's inquisitive gaze point blank, he simply raises an eyebrow.]

You don't seem like in much of a condition to help with anything.

[Falling asleep and all.]
