What is Resting 101

Who: Izumo and You
When: November 20th-25th
Where: Xihe temple, Double Cross Bar, somewhere on the Far Shore and Near Shore
What: After the events of the forest, Izumo has to rest. The problem is: what is resting? Ft. a special horse.


[A. The Temple of the Sun]

[After the horrors of the forest event, Izumo has been ordered to be on bedrest. While he understands the reason for it, one must not forget:

Izumo hates the idea of resting.

His shinki has a handful with their god and making him believe in resting. Though Izumo has been good, he also gets bored rather easily without something to keep his mind occupied. After all, the idea of lazing around and doing nothing is something that Izumo does not necessarily believe in, even if he does take impromptu trips when he can for one reason or another. He still has some burn marks on his skin from his attempts to defeat the plants that prevented him from leaving, covered up in bandages.

Anyone who decides to come visit Izumo would find him in the rather spacious living room with a notebook laid out on the coffee table in front of him while a movie is playing through the projector screen. However, what probably stands out is the horse casually eating out of a tub beside the couch.

Izumo sends it a look when it snorts.]


Hey, if you have a different movie you want to watch, then feel free to pick it out.

[Basashi snorts again.]

[B. Resting 101

[It’s particularly late at night when Izumo has to actually sneak out of his own temple.

He needs to get away for a bit, which does lead him to either (a) go to Double Cross bar for some much needed late night drinks or (b) he ends up taking Basashi out and watching in bemusement as the Strain turns white and stretching its wings.

Either way, if he gets caught, he’ll just greet the person with a wave while casually smoking a cigarette.]


Yo.

[ He'd left most of the Izumo-Mandatory-Bedrest Patrol to Judar with the occasional check-in, mostly because he had his own patrol to worry about, because keeping Saru in bed to rest was just as difficult. Not the bed part, that was mostly fine, but the RESTING? Not so much.

But since Saru had actually drifted off for a nap with a cat curled up on each side of him a while ago, Yata makes his way into the main building of the temple to check in with his god.

And comes to an abrupt stop at the sight of Izumo and.... ]


.........Why is there a horse in the living room?

[ Yata freezes, giving the horse a wary look. ]

....And why is a horse picking a fight with crows?

............And why is it looking at me like that?

Yeah, well. The feeling can be mutual, then.

[ He jabs a finger at the horse before turning to scowl at Izumo. ]

And you're still not supposed to be doing anything. I'll shoo the damn horse out the.... Wait. You named the horse Basashi?!

[ Awww. You called him Yata-chan. ]

You are an invalid until you get your strength back. We had to carry you and Saru out of that forest, after all.

[ Stop giving him heart attacks like that, Izumo. ]

Came with it? What, he showed up with a tag on him or something? Are you sure he wasn't... I don't know supposed to go become...? [ He trails off and leaves the rest of that sentence for Izumo to fill in, not wanting to say it in front of the poor horse's sensitive ears or something. ]

[ He pauses at the unexpected praise from his god, blinking at him owlishly a moment before flushing a little in pleasure. He lifts a hand to rub at the back of his neck, a little embarrassed by it. ]

Yeah, well. Just don't make a habit of it, would you?

[ And yeah, he can put two and two together easily enough, although that has him giving the horse a surprised look, a little confused. ]

Then how did he get here? Wait, he's not like another shinki or something now too, right?

[ Considering he'd recently met a snow leopard shinki, he wasn't making any assumptions here. ]

[ Yata casts the horse a sideways look, skeptical. ]

How did he even get into the bar? Wait, I probably don't want to know that, do I?

So why's he in here now instead of out with Sicily? I didn't think 'indoor horses' were a thing. Isn't that messy?

[ Casting the horse one more uncertain look, Yata finally nods and lifts one shoulder in a shrug. ]

I can start working on it more today, if we've got all the tools and supplies now. Although I'm not sure how good it will be? I don't know if I've ever done something like this before...
