Who: Misaki Yata and Izumo Kusanagi, Yata and Judar
When: Morning of September 30th
Where: Izumo's Temple
What: Yata needs help.
[ He'd promised Saru the night before that he'd go talk to Izumo first thing this morning and he keeps his word. He just might... take his time in getting there, an unusual air of hesitation in his actions when he finally arrives outside the gates of Izumo's new temple. Stalling for far too long, he does eventually kick himself into getting on with it, heading up to the entrance to knock on the door. ]

Huh.
Guess that makes me his exemplar now. Cool.
no subject
Still, Yata just blinks at him in surprise, not expecting that as a response. ]
Huh? No way. Pretty sure that's what Izumo gets to decide, not you.
no subject
[ That's how it goes, right? Definitely. The one that got there first gets the prestige and position of power. ]
How about this- Ask and if he has us decide it among ourselves, I get he title. Because obviously I understand his ways better than you.
no subject
You just got here, dude. Pretty sure you don't. And there is no 'default' when it comes to things like that. Besides, if you think you get to be exemplar just so you can boss me around, you're really missing the point.
I'm not interested in some pissing match about who's in charge. I answer to Izumo and I'm here to keep him safe.
no subject
[ It sounds cool and he feels like he should have some really cool and awesome title to begin with. So this will do suitably.
He's also going past this honor chat on how he's above pissing matches and only wanting what's best for their god. It's naive to think that the only reason for being here is to keep Izumo safe.
They should be helping with making him the top god that could take over all the others. ]
You've got more than just that, right? C'mon, you gotta bring something other than just what all the shinki can do.
no subject
Usually people who care about titles are the assholes who want to be smug and superior about them and make life hell for everyone else. [ Not that he's biased or anything. Then again, he comes from a gang, he doesn't have much respect for people who haven't earned it with him.
Although Judar's comment gets a confused look from him as he shifts to lean back against the doorframe, arms still crossed over his chest. Considering Judar hadn't lept to attack him at his announcement, he's relaxed more back into his typical easy attitude, although he's still watchful, since he doesn't know this guy. ]
Huh? What are you talking about?
no subject
[ There's no point in lording it over some other shinki under Izumo's rule. They both served the same god, after all. Other people, however... Being an exemplar made you sound important and cool. Which, once again, is the important part of this. ]
You've got eyes, so you can tell that there's a hierarchy in this place. So we gotta do something that'll have Izumo get out of these slums and eventually stand above those old gods. Which is gonna take more than just borderlines and whatever else that can be done as shinki. So what else do you have?
no subject
[ He's bad at taking orders anyway. ]
Yeah, there's a hierarchy. The old gods are all above the new ones that came here from somewhere else. Think they're better than them, too. Personally, I think it's bullshit and they just don't have any other explanation for whatever's going on. But I guess the new gods do have a lot of catching up to do, to become as famous as the older ones. They've been doing this longer.
As for what the other shinki can't do... [ He hesitates a moment before shrugging and glancing around. He didn't see why he couldn't show JUdar, especially if they were supposed to be working together for Izumo. ] I guess that would be this.
[ He holds out his hand and lets his fingers curl into a fist. A moment later, flames spring into being, surrounding his hand and spreading up his arm, though it doesn't burn him. Although JUdar might be able to feel the sudden surge of heat from it, even where he's perched. ]
no subject
[ He'll probably still try to get you to do things, but that's because you're more familiar with the technology and everything. Which is pretty different from expecting stuff due to their positions.
Seems like they're on the same page- at least when it comes to wanting to put the old dusty gods in their place and stop underestimating someone like their god. It seems like there wouldn't be too many clashes from that kind of thing, which was what really mattered. They could fight and bicker, as long as they were going the same way along the same path.
Man, that fire, though. He can feel and really see how it looks. Actually, it sort of looks- ]
Oh, you've got the same kind of heat magic Izumo's got.
no subject
Yeah, we have the same kind. I guess we come from the same place. There's a couple of us who do, although I don't know a lot about it. It does different things, I think. I've never seen Izumo use it the same way I do, but it feels like the same kind when he does, at least.
no subject
[ Don't be an idiot, Yata. Izumo deserves better shinki than that. ]
Heat magic is just a type. There's something weird or specific about the origin or application, but it's still just a category. Just think of what could be done as spells- Izumo knows more and is better at other spells than you.
no subject
Well, duh. First of all, he's got all his memories back now. And second, spells are not really what I do. I can do some and I'm still learning the rest, but I usually prefer to just go punch things instead. You can stand back and do magic for him, since you seem to know so much about it.
no subject
[ He already has a bunch of formulas in his head, what's a few more that he has no chance of using? ]
no subject
What else? What do you mean what else? The fire stops most things, and Izumo can use us to destroy what it doesn't. What are you looking for here?
no subject
Sure, but what if the threat's fireproof and isn't an ayakashi?
no subject
no subject
[ They're gonna smash their way to the top of this whole thing, Yata. Bring something to that. ]
no subject
It's very effective. They're so arrogant and full of themselves, they never know it's coming.
no subject
Izumo, is this really your second shinki? You could've chosen someone as cool and amazing as him, and you got- this guy. ]
You better have the speed to pull it off, then.

[ Look, for all the old gods of fortune, he's definitely the one that's most likely to be fought first. ]
no subject
[ Now you've piqued his curiosity. ]
no subject
[ Cute in appearance and because she can make Fuujin wilt under her scolding. ]
He's a real stickler for rules and thinks of all the new arrivals to be lower than the mud he steps on.
