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~

[It helps that Sanzang's actually a little shorter than Goku, and impossibly light to boot. She lands in his arms with a soft 'oof!' of surprise, her sleeves flopping over her face and obscuring it a moment as she gathers her bearings.

But then she's laughing and lifts her sleeve up to grin at him
] Ahaha! Sorry about that, thank you! Phew, what a tumble... That could've ended badly!

[But then she gets a good look at his face and blinks. It's that weird feeling again, that he's not--quite what she's looking for, but similar enough to make her look twice. He doesn't look anything like the Goku she knows now, but when they were younger, a good 6 years back or more...] Hm...?
konobakazaru: (Maybe they'll feed me if I look cute...)

[The ridiculously long sleeves confuse him for a second... but hey, at least she's light! Not that it would be a problem either way, of course, but at least she's okay.]

Why'd you climb up a stack of boxes? That's just askin' to fall.

[... oh. Right. He should probably let her down. He's doing so very gently.]

You okay?
sanzohoshi: (That's the last time)

[personal profile] sanzohoshi 2016-08-17 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Well if I took one from the bottom, the whole tower would collapse, right? I thought if I started at the top I could work my way down!

...Just not that quickly. [She laughs and lets him go easily enough, brushing herself off a little.]

I'm alright! You just... Hmm... You just remind me of someone, that's all. But you don't even really look alike, so it must've just been my mind playing tricks on me. [Sanzang tilts her head from one side to the other, then chuckles and reaches out to pat him on the head]

You're a good boy, thank you again for saving me! I'm Genjo Sanzo, what's your name?
konobakazaru: (But it's such a tiny bag of chips though)

[personal profile] konobakazaru 2016-08-17 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you could ask someone for help. I mean, there's all kinds of people cleanin' around here.

[He... reminds her of someone? That's weird, she had-- Wait. Wait, she was the one that said his name. And she says her name is... Sanzo? But that's... The confusion clearly registers on his face, and he tilts his head just a little. Too bad the hair ruffle is making him duck a bit, though.]

No way. Sanzo's this tall guy with blond hair an' droopy eyes.

[That can't be right. There's already a Sanzo here. There can't be... two? Not even including Konzen, jeez.]

An' I'm Goku. You, uh. Called for me?
sanzohoshi: (I don't get hangovers. Except once.)

[personal profile] sanzohoshi 2016-08-17 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[Now Sanzang looks confused] But... That's not right either. You're not the Goku I know at all! I mean-- You sort of look like him, when he was younger...?

[It feels weird, like she's sort of skirting the edge of things she shouldn't talk about, but not quite. Her eyebrows furrow and she frowns]

I'm the priest, Genjo Sanzo... But you say I'm not? And you're Goku? [This doesn't make any sense, but she supposes things rarely do in her life. Time travel, dimension hopping? Been there, done that, but still.] I know there are all sorts of different universes and all, but this is a little much...
konobakazaru: (but but but but but but)

[personal profile] konobakazaru 2016-08-17 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Sanzo... but a girl? But Sanzo's a guy. There's no way this could...]

... I quit. This's makin' my head hurt too much.

[He's only ever been him! And he's never known anyone else named Goku. Just him. No one else named Sanzo, either, for that matter. ... at least, not that he can remember. One hand pulls the bandanna off his head, and the other lifts to rub in his hair just above the diadem.]

How're there two Sanzos? Why're you a girl an' Sanzo's a guy?
sanzohoshi: (I just...no. You make my soul cry.)

[personal profile] sanzohoshi 2016-08-17 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Well, there are infinite numbers of universes besides this one. We all came from different worlds and times and homes and were put in a place like this, right? So it's not impossible to think there may be universes where everything's the same except a few things.

Like maybe there's a world just like this one, except the sky is green and the grass is blue. Things like that.

[Still, you don't typically collide with those universes either...]

Maybe it's just that in your world Sanzo's a man, and obviously in my world I'm a woman. [She folds her sleeves up near her mouth, eyeing the diadem with interest. Even that looks different... But she can't ask too much--she already suspects he must be a shinki given her unease at talking abut certain things]

I'm sorry I'm not the Sanzo you know. [Her apology is given with the utmost sincerity too, she really does feel bad! There's a standard here she's not living up to!!]
