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... he's not going to clean it up. But after another moment he sighs, shuffling out from directly under it. Fine.]

Nothin' for it 'til someone comes along with a ladder or three, then.

[Now, to ignore it - ah yes, now he has company!!] While you're here, what's a man gotta do to get a tour of the local haunts?
sweetdeath: (roguish grin)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-08-19 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, unless you want to try flying it down here.

[Tsuzuki winks, shrugging his coat more comfortably over his shoulders as he sticks his hands in his pockets and considers the other guy. He seems pretty nice. Young, maybe, but not as young as he is short, even if he looks kind of Western.]

That depends what you're looking for! Temples? Or are you looking for stuff on the Near Shore? I can point you to some pretty nice bars.
churchbelle: (the next intervention is going to be for)

[personal profile] churchbelle 2016-08-20 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[How does one go about flying a piano down from up there... He'd be interested to see it, at least. But more importantly - liquor.]

I've got a particular interest in knowin' where the nicest bars are, in fact.
sweetdeath: (cheerful chat)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-08-20 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
You're in luck! That was one of the first things I looked for.

[Well, unless. He clears his throat, a little embarrassed, and adds:]

... what kind of nice do you mean? Fancy nice? Quiet nice?

[This is a really fancy house. If that's Hazel's actual style, maybe Tsuzuki ought to point him to the kind of glitzy hotel bars he'd never bother going to himself. And check them for ayakashi first, too, probably....]
churchbelle: (remember tiny man things?)

[personal profile] churchbelle 2016-08-20 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hazel blinks- fancy and quiet? Is he-- oh, because of the house. He waves a hand quickly to dismiss that notion. That really isn't the priority of a bar, as such...]

A nice that serves liquor that ain't just poison'll do for me. I don't fuss, but after bein' served a sile malt whiskey that must've truly had just one single grain in the whole bottle, I've taken to bein' a little more particular. It can look as mean as it wants, besides!
sweetdeath: (ahahaha oops!)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-08-21 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, that's easy!

[His laugh's relieved -- honestly, if Hazel was as classy a guy as his house looked, Tsuzuki's not sure he could even find a bar nice enough for him. If he just wants anyplace with decent booze, that's much easier.

He grins, back on steadier ground.]


It looks like you're busy moving in today, but if you want to go bar-hopping, just give me a call when you're free?

[He pats down his pockets until he finds the one where he stuffed his new business cards, and hands one over. Tsuzuki Asato, it says. Tajimamori. And his cell phone number. It's a lot easier than having to scribble it down, and besides, it's probably better for Tajimamori's reputation not to give out his number on bar napkins and old receipts.]
churchbelle: (+1 for "face balls")

[personal profile] churchbelle 2016-08-21 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Busy with his sTUPID PIANO... He takes the card easily enough, raising an eyebrow as he looks at it.

This is- this sure is a business card. Huh!]


Ya had these made? Is that standard procedure 'round here? The last fella just took my own phone from me to put his information in himself.

[Should he have cards made or should he (continue to) be pushy, the big question.]
sweetdeath: (roguish grin)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-08-21 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I figured it made me look a little more serious. [Tsuzuki's grin is a little sheepish.]

Besides, I was giving my number out a lot! Everybody's got questions when they first show up, and so I figured I'd try to help with whatever I already know.

[And so: business cards!]

I don't know if any of the older gods have cards.
churchbelle: (does anyone feel incomplete)

[personal profile] churchbelle 2016-08-22 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Business cards, though... How anachronistic to all this godhood stuff. Maybe? He's never been a god before.]

Ya might start a trend. I'll keep ya mind when I need a lil help with somethin'. Or a drink!
sweetdeath: (wink!)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-08-22 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Gods need to keep up with the times too! Hey, he's even been texting his priest. Tsuzuki grins cheerfully at Hazel and takes one last uneasy look at his floating piano.]

I might be better at pointing out bars than helping, but hey, whatever I can do, just let me know.

... welcome to the heavens, by the way.

[Sure, he probably got here some traumatic way, but that's no reason not to welcome him, right?]
churchbelle: (CAPITAL LETTERS AND NO PUNCTUATION)

[personal profile] churchbelle 2016-08-22 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[That goddamn piano.....]

Thanks. This kinda thing happen often?
sweetdeath: (ahahaha oops!)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-08-22 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, the piano's a new one! And we haven't had to spring clean before.

[He glances sidelong at Hazel.]

If you mean new people showing up and getting assigned to be gods, though, yeah. About every week and a half.
churchbelle: (does anyone feel incomplete)

[personal profile] churchbelle 2016-08-23 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Meant the piano, actually. But that's good to know, I s'pose. I'll keep a lil notebook with a calendar.

[He'll look out for flying instruments every week and a half, maybe? That's something.]
sweetdeath: (wink!)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-08-23 12:36 pm (UTC)(link)
That might not be a bad idea. At least then you'll know when to duck.

[He laughs, a little nervously. Sure, some of the things that happen when newcomers show up aren't a big deal! Stuff like this? This looks more like a way to keep them occupied while they all settle in than anything else.

But then there's other things, sometimes, too.]
churchbelle: (commence farm memes)

[personal profile] churchbelle 2016-08-23 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well... he'll give it a week, then. Why not do it that way!]

Sure. Well, don't let me keep ya. Sounds like you're a busy young man, after all.
sweetdeath: (abuh?)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-08-24 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, thanks, but ... aren't you younger than me?

[Younger than he looks, even, which is the age he usually counts himself as being (unless, you know, something really calls for "I'm a hundred years old! I know what I'm doing!")

Okay, maybe Hazel's older than he looks, too, but even so, Tsuzuki'll eat his tie if the guy's more than thirty.]
churchbelle: (Coral ???!?)

[personal profile] churchbelle 2016-08-24 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Er— well he says that to all the boys, honestly, but-]

I'm twenty. Does it matter?
sweetdeath: (ahahaha oops!)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-08-24 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, I guess not, but "young man" is kind of weird to hear from somebody that much younger than me!

[He laughs easily.]

Anyway, yeah. I'll see you around!
churchbelle: (take notes amazon)

[personal profile] churchbelle 2016-08-24 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't take it too seriously, sir, it's just a habit. I'll be seein' ya.
