26 - The Gods' Month
Who: Everyone!
What: Helping the Heavens prepare for the yearly Meeting of the Gods
When: October 20 - 21
Where: Around the Heavens (and maybe some mortal shopping trips, too!)
Summary: Amaterasu has been told that the newly arrived residents of the Heavens want to take a bigger part in security and administration, so she's convinced her shinki to let them help with preparations for the big yearly gala. It's also time for shinki to rate their gods and gods to find out what their shinki really think of them....

What: Helping the Heavens prepare for the yearly Meeting of the Gods
When: October 20 - 21
Where: Around the Heavens (and maybe some mortal shopping trips, too!)
Summary: Amaterasu has been told that the newly arrived residents of the Heavens want to take a bigger part in security and administration, so she's convinced her shinki to let them help with preparations for the big yearly gala. It's also time for shinki to rate their gods and gods to find out what their shinki really think of them....
Security Precautions
- The white-robed shinki guards are working hard to secure the Meeting Hall for the arrival of all the gods of Japan. Hard-working shinki are scurrying everywhere! Despite Amaterasu's orders, they're still a little unsure of and standoffish towards the strangers who they're supposed to work with, but there's a lot of work to do, so they're happy to hand out jobs to small groups of newcomers before returning to their own duties.
- Help clear out any small spirits who might have sneaked back into the Meeting Hall after the spring cleaning, from sootsprites to nekomata, animal spirits from the park or well-camouflaged plant spirits.
- Check the magical writing worked into art or inlaid in wood all over the building to protect the Meeting Hall from attack, and make sure none of it is scuffed or damaged.
- Join in on the patrols around the building or spend some time guarding one of the gates. It's boring, but the shinki appreciate the help.
- Test the integrity and extent of the magical protections with glass balls that turn purple outside the protections on the Meeting Hall and clear inside them. But don't drop your glass ball! They're fragile.
Event Preparation
- It's not just security that the shinki are asking newcomers to help with. They also have plenty of work to do getting ready for the festivities! The Meeting Hall floors need to be swept and scrubbed, the gardens need to be trimmed and tidied, artwork needs to be dusted, flower arrangements arranged, damaged furniture repaired and rafters cleared of cobwebs. Anyone with particularly good handwriting can help write out invitations and name cards, too.
Besides cleaning and calligraphy, there's lots of food and beverages to purchase! Grab a shopping list, a wad of cash, and head to the Near Shore to pick up the necessities. (Don't forget to keep the receipts.)
Rate Your God
- Shinki have the opportunity to submit surveys on their life with their new gods before the big event, and even request a transfer if they want one. Early in the morning, every new shinki will be visited by a small white dove carrying a scroll that, when unrolled, reveals the following questionnaire:
- What is your name?
What is your god's name?
How do you see your duties as a shinki?
What is your favorite part of life with your god?
What is your least favorite part of life with your god?
What advice would you like to give your god?
Do you wish to be assigned to a different god? []Y []N
Fill it out, discuss it with your fellow shinki, forget about it until you find it under a pile of junk mail in two months: the choice is yours! Gods will receive a copy of the answer that their shinki submit to "What advice would you like to give your god?" -- there's no name attached, but they might be able to guess.
Heavenly Record Keeping
- Gods don't get to skip the paperwork entirely! Although the Heavens aren't asking them to rate their shinki, new gods don't have all of their vital statistics on file quite yet, so they get a questionnaire too. The same white doves will drop their scrolls by in the morning, with the following set of questions:
- What is your name?
How many shinki do you currently have?
What are your areas of divine responsibility?
How do you see your duties as a god?
What traits do you most want in a shinki?
Do you wish new shinki to be assigned to you? []Y []N
Unlike the doves attending on the shinki, the doves who drop off the gods' scrolls will remain close by and chirp loudly until they finish and submit their questionnaires. If a god is particularly lazy about it, they might even start pecking.
In Summary:
- Help protect the Meeting Hall
- Lend a hand cleaning and shopping
- Rate your gods
- Help Heaven keep its records up to date
- Have fun~

[And... hell, fuck it.]
I probably still have some notes... since we were the ones to hunt him down in the end...
no subject
[It's amazing what people say on the BBS, both publicly and anonymously, but directed information is deeply helpful. Not that there's anything left to be done, but it'll be nice having a sense of the situation.
Ginia shifts the bags looped around her arms again. She doesn't quite feel the weight, but they're still an annoyance.]
At your convenience. I need to drop these off anyway.
no subject
After all this is taken care of... I get tired after events like these..
[That is to say, any event.]
no subject
Are they always parties or are they sometimes other things?
[Because if the Heavens are throwing parties like this all the time, who has time to get work done?]
no subject
[So mortals tend to be the ones doing all the work anyway.]
There was thing... job fair sort of thing they did not long ago... So there's work... but there's still lots of people.
no subject
[Though food and shelter is covered, it'd be nice to have some spending money to pick up clothes and other supplies. At the very least, it's a way to pass the time and maybe pick up new information about the going-ons of the Near or Far Shore.
Because even if she has a hefty stack of cash in her coat, it's still a finite resource. A steady flow of cash is better in the long run.]
no subject
...Apparently some people get work on the Near Shore... but that's going to be difficult. And annoying.
no subject
What do you do if you need to buy something? Besides see if someone else picks up the tab?
no subject
[Somehow, this feels like a conversation he's had before, only reversed. Pausing at the shrine, Chikusa tilts his head at the realization before going to touch it.]
Followers leave donations at their shrines... So they receive money that way, I think.
no subject
Speaking of donations, Ginia fishes out the loose coins in her pocket and throws them into the shrine's donation box. It's not necessary, but hopefully the shrine's god and shinki will appreciate it. And if Amaterasu's shinki want to complain about the missing change, they're welcome to hunt the god down and bother them.
The will to return, a destination in mind, a flash of light, and they're back on the Far Shore.]
Thanks for your help earlier.
no subject
Ah.... It's fine. I was there anyway...
So you're going to find more work to do there...?
no subject
I'm not doing anything else.
[So might as well stay busy? Mostly, she's a workaholic and the need to stay busy coupled with the first set of directed orders she's received in days means she'll keep working until the other shinki kick her out.]
no subject
no subject
I'll stay ahead. And with all the food we're bringing in, at least I can count on a good meal at the main event?
no subject
[Huffing, Chikusa half heartedly shrugs in an attempt to get the nekomata off of him before immediately giving up. He guesses he'll just.... be stuck with this, then.]
See you around...?
no subject
I'll get in touch about the notes.
