Open ♔ Within your heart, within pure amore

Who: Hibiki & you (prompts for Apollo & Nekhbet's temples)
When: October 6
Where: The Far Shore, Central District; Near Shore, select cinemas
What: Hibiki's temple has finally moved where it belongs (?). She enjoys this, then steels herself for a Mighty Ordeal. (Also featuring HIBIKI IN A MOVIE.)

[ I. - Central District ]

If you live, or otherwise had business in, the Central District, you'll notice there is a new temple. It's a giant white-and-purple castle with a gold statue of Shikyoin Hibiki, current Apollo and CEO of CelePara Talent Agency, on either side of its impressive (and unlocked) doors.

Explore within and you just might find the master of the house doing the same. There are so many new touches to appreciate! Like the magnolia trees outside, or the lake in the backyard.

Or the pirate ship floating in the lake.



Yeah, Hibiki's probably on the pirate ship. Having tea. Like this is normal.

Her primary reaction to the move, you see, is it's about time. ]


[ II. - Near Shore Movie Theater ]



[ Hibiki has come to see her own film in this theater. It doesn't seem to have been reviewed many places, and the interview Tsuzuki had helped with never ended up getting published, which was strange. But the film, at least, has been released.

She's sitting in the center of the theater, in the Best seat in the house. The movie itself.......does not deserve to be associated with the word "best". In any way. It's a formulaic, poorly-shot Western.

You would not be able to tell this from the look on its star's face as she watches it. ]


[ III. - Outside Nekhbet's Temple ]

Gulp.

[ Hibiki is standing outside Shun's temple, a bouquet of crimson-red roses held in one hand, a box of Prench French sweets in the other, and a trickle of sweat winding its way down the back of her million-pollar neck. She'd gone to her film as fortification after making her CelePara victory announcement, and now the time has come to congratulate the victor in person - while also paying a housewarming call on her new neighbor. Such personal touches are her style.

Except Chinatsu is. Mad. At her. And also living. With. Kurosaki Shun.

This is a trial. It must be. A trial from the Heavens to prove her worth as a (future) God of Fortune. Her fate, as someone who is just too perfect to live. A dramatic development to make her inevitable triumph more exciting.

She can do this. She must do this.

She must enter

where the vultures

live.



Taking a deep breath, Hibiki steps onto Shun's property. ]

[He takes the stick.]

Hopefully. Not sure what she even did to warrant such a grudge from those vultures.

[Lavi noms on the pocky.]
papillonprincess: ([<3] | We offer as sacrifice)

[personal profile] papillonprincess 2018-01-28 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She'll just take one for herself, too. ]

I suppose it would help if we knew who owned those vultures in the first place. Or maybe they're like magpies and find themselves drawn to shiny objects.

[ Nom. ]

Nekhbet - or Kurosaki Shun - owns those vultures.

[This redhead is familiar with it, but they've never bothered Lavi before.]

...But given how Shun and Hibiki seem to be on bad terms with each other, it might make some sense.
papillonprincess: (cap_xxxix)

[personal profile] papillonprincess 2018-02-04 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes that... certainly would explain it. We'd met Kurosaki-kun before and he didn't seem to have a positive impression of Hibiki to begin with.

[ Another nibble of pocky before she breathes in... and yells. ]

FIGHT, HIBIKI-KUN!

[ There we go. Friend support quota reached for the day. ]
lostinshadows: ([70])

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2018-02-05 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[The yelling takes him by surprise that he stops eating on his pocky for a brief moment.

A blink and he resumes eating.]


Think she'll last long?
papillonprincess: ([?] | Them your love)

[personal profile] papillonprincess 2018-02-11 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't say...

[ Considering how much of a flurry of panic and feathers is going on, it's hard to tell who's winning.

So she just snaps the tip of a stick in her mouth. ]


But knowing Hibiki-kun... there must be a reason she's here and she'll attempt to reach her goal come hell or high water. Or rather... come vultures.

[Lavi thinks back about anything concerning Hibiki that would explain this.]

...Didn't she announce some sort of winner recently?

[Something about--

Oh.]


...I think I might know why.
papillonprincess: (cap_xxxix)

[personal profile] papillonprincess 2018-02-17 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
She did. It was regarding the performances we made recently, an inter-group competition. The winner would be spending a day with her as the prize.

[ Because sasuga, Hibiki-kun. Offering herself as the grand prize.

There's a blink though as she takes the rest of the biscuit, turning her attention back to Lavi. ]


You've stumbled onto something?
lostinshadows: ([102])

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2018-02-18 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
The winner is Chinatsu, right?

[He suddenly sounds tired.]

Chinatsu is one of Shun's shinki.
papillonprincess: ([<3] | In our eyes)

[personal profile] papillonprincess 2018-02-22 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
...that... explains everything.

[ Cue one exhale there. ]

Yes. That explains everything. Poor thing would do anything for certain things. Though you certainly have to give Hibiki-kun points for facing the flock.

[ Why aren't you two helping...? ]
lostinshadows: ([172])

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2018-02-22 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
She certainly is courageous for that.

[He crosses his arms, watching the sight unfold before them.]

Though facing Chinatsu, too, might be another story.

[Way to give moral support, you guys.]
papillonprincess: ([?] | Them your love)

[personal profile] papillonprincess 2018-02-22 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Gosh those buzzards are vicious. She takes another pocky stick, nibbling at the end. ]

To be honest, I can't tell which is going to be a more formidable challenge.

[ She bites off the end, tilting her head. ]

Do you think they're naturally trained to attack or were they trained specifically to guard against Hibiki-kun?
lostinshadows: ([105])

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2018-02-22 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
The former, but they might just have something personal against her, too.

[So. It could be both really.]

Should we go get some coffee after this?
papillonprincess: ([<3] | Is the wine)

[personal profile] papillonprincess 2018-02-22 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you asking me out...?

[ Have a small teasing smile there. She can't help herself sometimes. ]

But then I really didn't have anything else to do this afternoon. Coffee sounds fine. Maybe by the time we get back, Hibiki-kun would have sorted out whatever business brings her here.
lostinshadows: ([46])

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2018-02-26 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Why not? It wouldn't hurt to take a pretty girl like you on a date.

[He grins at her, teasingly.]

We can only hope. As long as she doesn't come out of this hurt aside from a bruised ego, anyway.
papillonprincess: ([<3] | In our eyes)

[personal profile] papillonprincess 2018-02-27 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
You flatter me, Lavi... but yes, I accept. I'm sure you'll make for more than pleasant company.

[ Have a smile back. Smooth man, real smooth. She appreciates that. ]

Though if Hibiki-kun does end up with a bruised ego, she'll either bounce back from it as quick as she usually does or we'll find some way to pull her out of it, yes?
lostinshadows: ([06] Oh we have felt it all)

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2018-03-08 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be honored if you find me to be good company.

[Lavi almost snorts.]

That's true. She doesn't really need us worrying over her. [...Much.]
