Bad Idea Theater presents: A Kappa In The Countryside
Who: Gojyo and Votelli, at least to start
What: After Zelda's info-gathering party, Gojyo needs to warn Votelli that her secret's out
When: December 24th
Where: Somewhere in Chichibu National Park
Warnings: Will update as needed
It’s taken a couple of days, but Gojyo’s finally on his way back up the mountain.
One of the worst things about being a shinki is not being able to lie. Do something you feel bad about, something you know is wrong, and your god (or gods) gets stung immediately. It’s a real pain in the ass.
But, Gojyo’s discovered, if you always feel bad about something, if you’re always feeling guilt over some wrongdoing or another, then those gods get overwhelmed with stings. They can’t tell when a sting is from their emotionally unstable shinki’s memory of causing pain to a friend, and when it’s because he’s sneaking away from the bar he’s been living in to bring snacks and a warning to the little god living up on the hillside. At least, he’s pretty sure neither Hakkai nor Goku will be able to tell what he’s up to. Goku he’s sure of. Hakkai’s a little more suspicious.
But if he doesn’t try, he’ll regret it the rest of his life. Votelli might be a renegade god, she might have powers that kidnapped and nearly killed Hakkai and a dozen other folks, and she might even be responsible for the new name Banri’s been carrying around. For all that, though, she’s still a kid. A sweet little kid who’s been lied to and controlled.
Gojyo knows a little about that.
He’s much less laden down this time -- chips and puffed rice don’t take up much space, and neither do chocolate and buns with sweet stuff inside –- but his breath is still coming in heavy white puffs by the time he reaches the little clearing where he and Goku had previously met Votelli. He made it. But now how to find her?
Oh. Well, it can’t hurt!
“Uh. Hi.” He carefully pats the trunk of a nearby tree, gazing up into the branches as though expecting a face to appear. This is so stupid, but what are his other options? Start shouting? “I’m looking for Votelli. Can you tell her I’m here?”

"Torimoto. Like, the bird from the zodiac, and 'forest.' I don't know how to write those, though."
no subject
"Magic forest bird, huh?" What a good name for her! "Don't worry about the characters. I'll find a dictionary and make sure I get 'em right."
This is good! This is really good. He's going something he can do to help, and he's got a lot of good information about Votelli and a little good information about Sensei, he knows about the soulless shinkis' new names... it's been a really good trip. Something's finally going right.
He raises his hands, splaying them out in front of him like he's picturing a banner in the air.
"Torimoto! Goddess of trees, leave offerings of chocolate and red bean buns."

"Thanks, Gojyo. If you do need to come out here, I'll take care of you, okay?
"I'm good at hiding."
no subject
"Good. You stay hidden, honey." So he pats the tree trunk instead, as he ducks out of their tree-cave. "I'll see you soon as I can."
