What: Autumn Reception
When: September 30, 6 PM
Where: The Gods' Meeting Hall
Summary: The Heavens are throwing a formal party! Old and new gods alike are invited, so put on your nicest outfits and some good dancing shoes, and come see what this shindig is all about.
Front Door
- The door of the Meeting Hall is wide open, warm golden light spilling out from the well-lit corridor inside. Shinki in white robes with golden chrysanthemums -- a fancier, heavier version of the usual robes -- stand to either side of the door, ready to check invitations. Each invitation is taken, the name carefully noted on a scroll held by one of the door attendants, and the invitation returned.
Since the invitations were delivered to gods, shinki are being allowed in as part of a god's entourage, but unaccompanied shinki will be questioned, and any god who forgot to bring their invitation will be turned away to go find it. Better make sure you have a last-minute date to the ball!
Reception
- Once past the vigilant door guards, attendees will be escorted to a truly massive room, the floor polished hardwood and the roof far overhead supported by wooden columns so big that it would take four people holding hands to reach around one. White-robed shinki, in the same more-formal garments as the gate guards, are circulating throughout the room holding trays stacked with exquisitely crafted hors d'oeuvres, bottles of soda, or glasses of sake and sparkling wines.
The room is about half full, and soft music is playing from an unseen source. It's clear that several of the old gods have arrived, too, although they're largely keeping to themselves among small groups of their shinki, whose formal dress seems to be some variety of uniform -- color, cut and style vary wildly between different gods, but within a group, they all match.
Banquet
- Two hours after the doors open, it's finally time to eat! Food is served in an adjoining room, where long tables are set to accommodate all the guests. Platters of sashimi, sushi, vegetables and deep-fried tidbits are brought around, as well as individual plates of the main courses; most of the food is Japanese, but not all, and the white-robed shinki serving take special requests.
As the banquet begins to wind to a close, the peal of a bell rings through the room, and Amaterasu steps out onto a raised dais towards the front of the room. She's accompanied by four of the white-robed shinki, all of whom are wearing swords, and although she looks like a girl of no more than twelve, her expression is grave and worried.
"Thank you all for coming here tonight, and for your efforts to support peace in the Heavens and in the mortal world. We are grateful for your hard work.
"Over the past several months, we have faced many challenges. Ayakashi have intruded into these lands more than once, and I myself came under attack when my temple was set on fire. We are making every effort to discover the responsible parties, and once we do, they will face Heaven's justice. For now, I have an important request for all of you.
"Please be watchful and alert. Be careful what you bring with you to the Heavens and watch for strangers in your temples and shrines. But even in a time like this, remember that we must remain in harmony with each other. Conflict in Heaven brings conflict on earth. If you think you have seen anything suspicious, bring that information to the nearest guards. I hope we can all work together, our new colleagues as well as the old..." She hesitates, drawing herself up, and then says quickly, "Thank you. Please enjoy yourself tonight," before turning to leave the room, guards close behind her.
Dancing
- After Amaterasu's speech, the dinner dishes are cleared, and the guests are welcome to return to the previous room. The music is louder, enough to cover quiet conversation or to be danced to; it's a selection of Western ballroom dance tunes and classical Japanese music, and the center of the room is clear for would-be dancers.
The circulating servers are offering little sweets on their trays now, along with the same drink selection.
In Summary:
- Don't forget your invitation
- Enjoy the party
- Dinner and a speech
- Try some dancing
- Have fun~
no subject
[As one of Sakura's shinki, Yamanbagiri accompany her through the front door. He looks around carefully and maybe nervously. While he might be dressed for the occasion, he still stands out. Most likely because he wears a cloak. Unlike his usual, lightly dirty white cloak, it's an actually nice looking material. And it's clean.
After he talks with Sakura and Tsuzuki, Yamanbagiri starts to walk around and looking for any familiar faces. This is definitely not his kind of thing, but it would be easier if there's people he knows here. And he wonders how many of them would be surprised by his appearance... Or not surprised.
Although, sometimes he would stop and look at some of the fancier looking outfits. And feel self-conscious, gripping the cloak with his right hand.]
... Ah, sorry for staring. You're... You look nice?
[He tried.]
► He's Drunk
[At one point, he down some drinks and is now... feeling the effects already. The effects of... being drunk. His face is flush and there's a... small smile on his face, as he finishes his cup. How many did he drink? Don't ask him, he doesn't remember.]
When she say be careful... does that mean... [He have a thought. Give him a moment.] ... shopping is a bad idea?
["Be careful what you bring with you to the Heavens" means... no shopping?]
► Wild Card
[Wild Card option, bring your own scenario! Or ask me for one. Drunk Yamanbagiri is available. Let me know in PMs or
Reception
Really...? ( He grins, ) Heh heh, thanks! And you look really cool too~
no subject
Ah... thanks. I'm not used to wearing something like this. [And it certainly doesn't feel like it, either!] Yours look... different from what you usually wear.
no subject
Mm! It's really different.... It's not very comfortable but everyone says it looks nice so it's not too bad. ( P R A I S E H I M ) Ah... but hopefully nothing bad happens. It's not easy moving in this...
no subject
You'll get used to it in time. Maybe after moving around in it some more? [Then again, his own attire is vaguely western style. Maybe that helps him a little?] ... Let's hope not. But if anything do happen, our gods have us.
no subject
If he uses me, it'll be okay... ( If. Nari doesn't really seem to like to fight very much which is fine. He can fight for himself just as well. ) But everything's been okay so far!
no subject
And we'll make sure it stay that way. [Somehow. Anyway. Now that brings up a thought, and he almost wonder...] ... Does this mean your god is here?
[Once that question left his mouth, he realise it sounds even more obvious than inside his own mind.]
no subject
Mm! Nari-san is... ( He looks around. Let's see, he doesn't really like crowds very much so he'd have to be somewhere on the edge of everything. It doesn't take Urashima to find him (that scouting stat!!) and he points across the room, ) Over there.
( Probably talking to someone right now though. )
What about yours?
no subject
Ooh. I think I see him?
[Maybe. Yamanbagiri looks around for his own god. She's pretty short, so it takes him a bit to search for her in the crowd. Oh, there's that familiar hair! He points towards where Sakura's probably be at.]
That's her, Sakura. [A beat.] The short one with red hair.
[And then realising how unhelpful that might be. How many short, redhead girls are here, anyway?]
... In a kimono.
Drinking
Not him, that's for sure. He looks stricken, leaning in to whisper back to Yamanbagiri.]
I guess you have to be careful about what you buy...!
no subject
Yeah... We should be really careful next time... I don't want to make trouble for Sakura.
no subject
[And so many things have been going wrong! The cats! The spirits in all their furniture! What if someone tries to trick them into causing a problem!?]
Maybe it's better just to leave whatever we find on the Near Shore there... she's got a shrine there, too, after all.
no subject
Right. Until we know if it's safe or not... [Somehow? Maybe watch for ayakashi to jump out from hiding?] And there's that other thing. Watching for strangers near shrines. Like... how strange do they have to be?
[It's not that odd for followers and people to visit their god's shrine on a normal day. So how suspicious do they have to be for them to take notice?]
no subject
[New followers, tourists... plus, it's not like Tsuzuki knows everyone who might want to pray to Konohanasakuya-hime. He's only had the chance to meet a couple while helping her grant prayers. He shakes his head, worried.]
But if someone's snooping around, or doing something they shouldn't be, that could be important.
no subject
[Non-familiar faces. If he's not sure, maybe he can observe them, and maybe the priests? The priests might know who are regulars.]
Maybe the priests who attend to shrines might notice something? And we can just... ask them.
[Temporarily forgetting about their lack of presence issues to the living.]
no subject
[If there's any profession where seeing gods and gods' servants would come in handy, it's the clergy, right?
Well -- maybe not. Tsuzuki wonders if they'd ruin the mystique.]
no subject
Right! At least one might see us and can answer us...
[Yamanbagiri pause for a moment, before looking down at himself. He is presentable at the moment in his fancy suit. But it's not his regular outfit, so that means?]
Do you think they would like seeing us?
no subject
[Why would it be a problem? They're Sakura's servants just like the priests are, right, technically?
Well, not just like, but it's similar enough. He shakes his head.]
It ought to be fine. Anyway, mortals forget they saw us pretty fast, so I don't think it'd be that big a deal.
no subject
[It'd be one thing if he's a shinki of a warrior god. But that's not really Sakura's main domain.]
But alright. I just don't want to give a bad impression in Sakura's name.
no subject
[So, it's not their everyday look -- maybe he should ask Sakura about uniforms -- but they're giving a good impression. And they look good even day to day. It's fine.]
Reception
Oh... well thank you! You look niec too. I don't think we've met, but I think I saw you with Sakura earlier?
no subject
Yeah. This is the first time we meet. I'm one of Sakura's shinki, Yamanbagiri Kunihiro. Are you a friend of hers?
no subject
[And she's not exactly sure she go further than that, into how she's kind of dating Sakura's nephew. Sort of. Since things are weird with Forrest's family considering his age and his father Leo being younger.]
It's nice to meet you too, though! Do you prefer Yamanbagiri or Kunihiro?
no subject
[With how reserved and polite he knows her to be, maybe it's hard to tell? He blinks for a moment.]
I don't mind which one. Pick whichever you like, Miss...?
