That Kid with the Hat ([personal profile] hattersgonnahat) wrote in [community profile] thenearshore2018-10-29 03:19 am

Regular Time Piece acts were never this bad. [Open]

Who: Open!
When: February 10-13
Where: Near Shore mostly, on the Japanese and European sides.
What: Local Hat Kid decides to do what she does best.



A - Near Shore, Japan. I spy.

[Once a certain kid figured out how this new god teleportation thing works, it was not long after that she discovered there was two locations to get into this "Near Shore" place everyone talks about. And wow, despite being so closely named, they could not be any different.]

[Actually, Near and Far are supposed to be opposites. Never mind that.]

[It was a bit of a walk to get to a part of the town with had a lot of people in it. None of the humans could see or hear her either, and that was an especially weird experience. But it was a great way to overhear conversations they had. ...It's just too bad most of them were boring. And not at all what she was looking for.]

[Okay eavesdropping was going no where - time to go higher up and have a larger look around. She eventually found a way to get up to the awnings that lined the streets, and now looking for a path to get on the roof of the buildings themselves.]

[Though the mortals would never notice a thing, not everything nearby was completely blind to gods. Particularly something slimy, amphibious, and also a skilled jumper. It was being a patient stalker, for now. Perhaps waiting to see first if its meal was going to fall. It can keep following the tiny god for as long as it needed to.]




B - Near Shore, Northern Europe. Adjusting to the Norse lifestyle.

[After a less successful day yesterday to find Time Pieces, the kid tried searching again at the second shrine. This time greeted by a ton of snow outside, and it's cold. A moment like this made her wish her raincoat hadn't disappeared, it might be slightly warmer than this. ...Oh well, it will be less of an issue once she got moving.]

[And it went fairly fine there on. The hook shot actually worked pretty damn well to avoid the snow all together and just stay in the trees, where it was faster to swing branch to branch. Feeling a little like a certain kind of super hero.]


Wah-! [For a short while, anyway.]

[The frost on one of the tree branches was too slippery for the umbrella to grab on to. She was plummeting, but luckily the snow bank was going to catch her fall. ...Okay, maybe not. She completely fell through it.]

[Moments later the child's head peeked out of the hole she had created - the bank was just about as tall as she was! But something was missing... She patted the top of her head. The hat was gone. Immediately she went back to digging in the snow to find it.]

[Unless of course, the wind managed to knock the purple top hat off during the fall. Perhaps in plain sight outside the snow pile.]




C - Wildcard, plus a day off to rest at temple.

[Plotting, surprises, requests, all welcomed and discussed [plurk.com profile] Gristar]

Luckily, I think I'll survive!

[He produces a tissue, dabbing at bits of frog gunk on his hands as she approaches. It seems that there aren't any other ayakashi approaching.]

Ah, come to think of it-- did you ever find your lost item?

[He's sure he'd seen her asking about "something shiny" a week or so previously...]

No, I'm afraid I haven't. I'll keep an eye out, but at this point-- have you considered it might just not have come with you?

Most things don't, when we arrive here.

[He tosses his dirty tissue into a nearby burnable garbage can and turns his hands palm-up in a tiny shrug.]

[It's certainly possible that her ship had come with her; Hakkai's clothes had come with him, after all, and some of his other belongings. At home, in a drawer, he still has a gold credit card that's useless on several different levels.]

That doesn't always mean everything came with it. Is it completely the same ship that you remember?

[personal profile] reformedsinner 2018-11-15 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
And not just because those objects have gone missing?

[In other words: it could be a replica.]
reformedsinner: (reserving comment)

[personal profile] reformedsinner 2018-11-28 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah.

[He folds his arms, thoughtfully, watching her.]

Have you considered that it's possible you won't be able to go home?
reformedsinner: (fear the smile)

[personal profile] reformedsinner 2019-01-03 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha ha, please, don't worry too much! I'm sure it won't be forever.

[They'll all disappear before too long. Hakkai's barely been here a year, and no one he knows has been around much longer than that.

He doesn't necessarily believe they'll go home... but they're going somewhere, at least.]
reformedsinner: (look at this mess)

[personal profile] reformedsinner 2019-01-18 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes. I don't think any of us have been here longer than a year, and I've seen -- quite a few people vanish again.

[He looks up, letting his cheerful facade slip.]

None of us know where they go, although sometimes they return remembering things happening in their homes.
