Who: Souji and Reiji
What: There was a hiccup in Heaven, and Reiji finds himself under new management.
When: April 6th
Where: Izanagi's shrine
Warning: Reference to shinki death but otherwise N/A.
[ Generally speaking, Souji has seen some pretty interesting things, in the past year. So this entire god thing, it's not that strange, compared to summoning gods and fighting others; exploring an alternate world inside the TV; fighting monsters called Shadows, and inner selves called Shadows; spending time in a different plain of reality that was housed in a limousine. But... it's still strange. So after having fought the weird Jell-O cube at the school, he'd gone to his apparent shrine to recover and try to figure out where he'd go from there.
It's the next morning that he gets yet another surprise, as he's heading downstairs from his room and into the kitchen. He can see one of the tatami rooms from the lounge area of the kitchen, and he has to pause, then take a step back to get a second look, when something catches his attention out of the corner of his eye.
Slowly, his eyebrows raise, and he heads towards the figure just sort of... lying around in his new house. Aside from a stray cat he'd brought across the Shore with him and his soulless shinki - who he hasn't seen yet this morning, strangely enough - Souji thought he was rather alone. His eyebrows raise higher when he gets a look at who it is, and he kneels down, carefully reaching a hand out. Before he makes contact, though, he's suddenly struck with an image, and an understanding - yelling, a gunshot, blood.
Death. Reiji's, he realizes.
His fingers curl into a fist, and he has to steel himself for a beat, two, before he loosens it so that he can reach out and touch his shoulder. ]
Reiji?

Reiji?

I started off with golf clubs. [ He's laughing, softly, but is definitely serious. ] And bats, sometimes. But then we started basically scavenging loot from fights and taking them to a man in town who did metalwork, and he'd make us weapons mostly for artistic reasons.
[ The sword definitely suits him. So does the starlight. ]
no subject
I hope we can get weapons more easily here, at least. [ A pause. ] Could you teach me how to use a sword, then? I'd like to learn.
[ Since he's pretty sure he doesn't know. ]
no subject
He perks a little, and inclines his head. ]
If you're okay with learning from someone that was self-taught.
no subject
I'll need one too, but that can be solved later. [ What matters is that he gets a teacher in the first place. ] I'm perfectly okay with that.
no subject
I can heal most injuries with a couple different Personae, but that doesn't mean they're any fun to get.
