What is Resting 101

[toremainbehind]

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.

They're certainly a lot smarter than people give them credit for.

[Basashi whinnies at him.]

[handle]

That's true. I've heard that they have pretty good senses when it comes to people, too.

Is the horse yours, then?

[toremainbehind]

....Not mine, per se. But it is from my home.

[He glances at the horse.]

[handle]

Things from home can appear here?

[ Sorey's eyes go wide. He had no idea... Though, he's glad for it. It's definitely something bound to make others happy. Not to mention, it's pretty fascinating to know, too. What else doesn't he know? ]

[toremainbehind]

Yeah, it can.

[Huh, he thought everyone knew about that by now.]

It can be random and sometimes even inconveniently placed.

[handle]

[ He can't help but laugh sheepishly at that. ]

Guess it'd be too much to be able to ask for something specific.

[toremainbehind]

Unfortunately. You never know what might end up appearing.

[It sucks.]

[handle]

Still, that means there's still a good chance that something good will come, doesn't it?

[toremainbehind]

There is.

[Izumo shrugs.]

Might wanna be on the lookout for shinki, though. Never know if anything they get might be good or bad.

[handle]

... Wouldn't it be painful for them to get something from home if they don't have their memories?

[toremainbehind]

It can be, but I suppose it depends on how they'd handle it first.

[He looks contemplative.]

It's also not unheard for shinki to get back memories as well.

[handle]

I've heard about that. But, to tell you the truth, I've never seen that happen myself.

[toremainbehind]

Might be a good thing. You never know what those memories can do to a shinki or how they'd be able to handle it.

[handle]

... Has something bad happened to shinki who remembered on their own?
