007 | Clean Up Your Act

Who: Everyone!
What: Spring cleaning
When: All day April 15
Where: All around the Heavens
Summary: The Heavens don't like things being cluttered, so it's time to clean up a little bit.







Main Hall

While the main hall of the Heavens seems spotlessly clean at all times, that's not the case at all. In fact, it's been at least a decade since the last time they actually cleaned everything out properly. There are a lot of hidden closets and back rooms that have layers of dust and dozens of boxes filled with nothing but junk. Who knows, though! You might find something interesting and useful in there along with all the garbage.

Suprises

Unfortunately, some of the older temples on the Far Shore seem to have some interesting surprises tucked away, ranging from cursed artifacts all the way to magical creatures locked up in long-forgotten rooms. You are free to be creative with this as a way to get your characters into trouble while cleaning.

Complimentary Dinner

After all of your hard work, you deserve to have some tasty food and refreshing beverages. So the Heavens have provided that for you, so that you can wind down after a long day. It's not as fancy as the banquets they often put on, but there is a nice array of food and drinks for everyone to enjoy.

Counselling

As usual, there is a white-robed shinki bearing the gold chrysanthemum of Amaterasu sitting at a table in the Main Hall. There is a small sign that denotes her as the counselling shinki. Anyone is welcome to approach her, and she will smile serenely at anyone passing by as well.



In Summary:
  • Clean up your home
  • Help clean others' homes
  • Get the main hall clean too!
  • Hope no hidden magic jumps out
  • Seek counselling if you need it
  • Enjoy your complimentary dinner
  • Have fun~

[Well, might as well get this over with]

I am your brother. You...must be a shinki, since you don't remember me, but I am your brother Leo.
lilys_poise: (oops... sorry...)

Being a shinki is suffering...

[personal profile] lilys_poise 2016-08-16 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Brother...?

[That is.... a lot to take in all of a sudden. Especially because it's accompanied by a sudden instinctual dread that slams into her out of nowhere. Knowing about your past, thinking about who you were, is.... bad. Very bad. She doesn't really understand why yet, but she can feel it strongly enough.

She had a family. When she was alive, she- don't think about it. But he looked so sad. No, don't. It's forbidden. She takes a step back under the weight of the longing, dread, and fear almost without realizing it.]


Sorry... I can't remember.

[Can't, won't, shouldn't. She doesn't even know.]
brynwieldr: (No...)

[personal profile] brynwieldr 2016-08-16 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
I know.

[Leo doesn't stop her from pulling away. He can't force her to stay, after all, no matter how much this hurts. He's not her god]

But, please, if there is anything you need and whoever your god is can't help for whatever reason, the temple to Odin will always be open to you.
lilys_poise: (Over here!)

[personal profile] lilys_poise 2016-08-16 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Odin...?

[That must the god he is. He remembers things, so he must be a god.

She feels bad about pulling away, especially because he looks so sad about it. But she can't stop herself. Elise can't remember her life, but she's certain that she's ever felt more torn about anything. On the one hand, she wants to know about her life, her family more than anything. And she doesn't want him to be sad.

But on the other hand, everything in her is telling her that would end badly.

She really, really wants a hug. But instead she grips her skirt in her fists as tightly as she can and tries her best to smile.]


Um, thanks. But you don't have to worry about me. I'll be fine!

[She tries her best to say that with as much enthusiasm as she can.

Which turns out not to be much right now.

She still wants a hug.]
brynwieldr: (No...)

[personal profile] brynwieldr 2016-08-16 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Leo can tell she does--he's known her all her life, after all--but he's never been the one to initiate that sort of thing.

If her god hurts her...]


I worry. It's what I do.

[Leo takes a breath]

You should go find your god, Elise. They can no doubt explain everything better than I can right now.
lilys_poise: (I don't want to fight you.)

[personal profile] lilys_poise 2016-08-16 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Elise lets out a breath she didn't know she was holding and very slowly relaxes the grip on her skirt. It's still taking a lot of willpower to keep from just hugging him, but she just nods.]

I'll go do that. They won't mind if I clean the jars later, right?

[Will they? Who knows? She decides that it's probably no big deal. More importantly...]

Um, but maybe.... we could talk again?

[Talking about the past is bad but.... they could talk about other stuff. Or maybe play games or.... she doesn't know. But she wants to see him smile.]
brynwieldr: (My Family)

[personal profile] brynwieldr 2016-08-16 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[That does make him smile a little]

Of course. I'd like that a lot.
lilys_poise: (Aww YEAH!)

[personal profile] lilys_poise 2016-08-17 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[And Elise smiles back, and this time she doesn't have to reach for the enthusiasm.]

The temple of Odin, right? I'll come over to play sometime soon!

[She does give another glance back at him as she leaves. It's really too bad she can't remember him. He seems really nice.]
