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~

[He still doesn't answer, but he does meet her eyes for a split second, then looks back at whatever it is he's seeing, then back at her again. He does this a couple more times.

... This really isn't something he can be sure of just by looking. He takes a deep breath, squaring his shoulders, and then timidly reaches one hand out to... prod at her shoulder.

Nothing happens, but he stills reels back a bit like something freaked him out. At this point he finally decides to try and describe his experience in words. He looks her dead in the eyes, his expression completely serious.]


There are... squirrels inside of you. A nest of squirrels. At least three of them.

... I think I might be hallucinating. [maybe. a little.]

Squirrels--

[ Oh, god. There really was something wrong with those donuts. How does she fix this. ]

I-- um. I'm very sure I don't have squirrels inside of me... Maybe-- maybe you should sit down? I'll-- I'll try to find something to help you.

[ DOES SHE GET HIM A GLASS OF WATER? A SNACK? SHE DOESN'T KNOW. ]

No, it's— it's fine. [He's trying to maintain eye contact, but his eyes keep wandering back down to that spot on the back of her shoulder.] It's just visual-auditory so far, so it's... probably fine...

[There's still some hesitation, but he reaches out again to prod at her, this time with more confidence. After another pause, he pokes her for a third time and... scratches at her shoulder a little, like he's petting a small mammal.]

Hm. They're not aggressive...
You don't have anything furry on this spot, do you?

[ She's pretty sure that's not fine. Um. He's almost touching her again, and she's thinking very distinctly that she wishes someone would come and give her a hand. Please. ]

U-um. [ everything happens so much ] N-no. I don't think so?

[He nods slowly, still staring at her shoulder. At least he stops petting the "squirrel" after that.]

Tactile as well as visual-auditory... ah. It's actually very detailed. [He might be impressed? It's pretty weird but at least nothing horrible appears to be happening to him. He takes a step back and looks her up and down with a curious expression.] Hmmm. Okay... yes, it's still doing something. I think my body's still absorbing the hallucinogenics so it might take awhile to fully process them. Apocalypse, come over here and—

[He looks over to command his cube and freezes again, staring at it intensely. Unsurprisingly, the glowing purple shapeshifting hologram looks really cool while tripping all kinds of balls. He reaches out to gently stroke one of its faces.]

[ Oh, good, at least there's no more petting her shoulder squirrels... ]

Um. [ She clears her throat, let's try that again. ] Add, what are you-- seeing?

[He doesn't answer her right away because he's busy rubbing his face on Apocalypse. Apocalypse is a good, loyal cube, so it's just kind of... allowing this to happen, and trying to remain level so the box sitting on top of it doesn't fall off. Its catface flickers on to stare at Naminé with a vaguely pleading look.]

... I don't know. I think... I'm hearing textures. It's impossible to describe.

[He contemplates this for a moment longer, then pulls his face off of Apocalypse to stare at Naminé again with a curious expression. All that cube-nuzzling made his hair pretty staticky, though. Some of it is still sticking to the side of his cube.]

Ah... you're actually very pretty. Can you— move your arms out of they way? It's a bit difficult to see.

[ Everything about this is very distinctly Not Normal, so she's. She's regretting not disposing of that box of donuts. This is all very confusing and disorienting, and--

???

????? ]


I-- um, are you-- are you talking to me? [ ?????????????? ]
subtract: you lose your mind (I-0070)

[personal profile] subtract 2016-08-27 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I'm talking to you. Who else would I be talking to? Just because I'm hallucinating doesn't mean I'm completely delusional. You're the only other person in this room right now, aren't you?

[He sighs heavily, then gently pushes Apocalypse aside so he can walk up to Naminé himself... although, about halfway across the room he starts tripping over his own feet and staring at the floor.] —ugh! Damn roots...

[Once he's actually in front of her, he... does something. Kind of? He seems to be focusing on something "in front" of her and after a slight hesitation he reaches out to grasp pointlessly at the air.]

... It feels really strange, but I can't get it out of the way... what an annoying experience. You didn't put anything weird here, did you?
chainbroke: (WARPLANES_namine4)

[personal profile] chainbroke 2016-08-27 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
O-oh. Um.

[ She's just so surprised that he... said something nice? Especially after, you know. Their everything. And he'd complimented her? That's just bizarre. Maybe there was something else in those donuts...

... She takes a step back, because personal space. ]


No, I didn't put anything there... weird or otherwise. What are you seeing now?

[Whoa, he reels back a bit when she moves. Enjoy your personal space while it lasts.]

It's like a... a curtain. Kind of. Feels almost like...

[A little less hesitant this time, he reaches out to paw at the empty air between them again. He gets distracted by waving his hand back and forth for awhile.]

... The world is so colourful and beautiful... [He holds out his hands like he's catching something out of the air, then brings the handful of absolutely nothing to his face. It looks like it smells good?

Except then he starts licking his hand, so...]


Your flowers taste a bit like mint. [In case anyone wanted to know.]
chainbroke: (warplanes__namine1)

[personal profile] chainbroke 2016-08-28 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, god, she's so confused and distressed right now. He's not threatening her or anything, he's not being mean, he's just... she doesn't even know. ]

... My-- flowers?

[ ... This might get unpleasant. ]

[He nods, then says in the most serious of tones:]

You make a fine ent.

Or... maybe just a talking tree? But there are a lot of trees here now...

[He contemplates this for a moment, then lifts his arms to "part" the "veil of mystical branches" so he can walk past her, glancing around at the ceiling.

... He might try to wander out the door if she doesn't stop him. He looks like he's pretty enthralled in his donut-induced hallucinations right now, and Apocalypse is too confused to try and interfere.]

[personal profile] chainbroke 2016-08-29 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
I... I don't know what an ent is. [ ??? SO MANY QUESTIONS. ]

Oh--um, please wait, I think you should stay here! [ While she goes to get Roxas because she does not want Add to get into any trouble. ]

[personal profile] subtract 2016-08-29 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Tch. How can you not know what an ent is? It's a tree spirit. You're obviously a tree spirit.

It's not like I'm going anywhere. I'm just looking around. This room looks so much bigger now...

[Probably because the walls just look like more trees... he walks up to one of the walls and feels around at it like it's completely baffling to him how he can't get past it. At... at least it might take awhile for him to actually try to escape...]
chainbroke: (aihasuicons4)

[personal profile] chainbroke 2016-09-01 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ A... tree... spirit... ]

I--um. Okay. [ ... She might be edging over to one of the doors to close it. And maybe put a cloth over the doorknob. Maybe if he can't see the doorknob, he can't go anywhere... ]

[He's about to put his ear to the wall when he catches Naminé moving out of the corner of his eye. He jumps back a little and ducks his dead down, as if startled by something.]

Ugh, watch where you're going you idiot! You almost knocked me over!

[From across the room. Of course.]

And what are you... what is that? That wasn't there a moment ago... [and putting something on the doorknob just made it look more out of place, good job. He carefully maneuvers his way over to it, ducking his head down every now and they to avoid invisible branches. He's not adventurous enough to touch it just yet, though. He stops and stares with a slightly worried expression.]

It looks kind of like... a tiny little spirit, or something. [Like a tiny cloth-sized sheet ghost, maybe. No way is he touching that.]
