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~

[Jade nods at the information, mulling it over in his brain quickly.

He may bring his God anyways so that he could learn a thing or two without him having to relay information from the practices.]


So then we, as shinki,help to dispel those creatures with our gods to help purge themail corruption? Is that about the gist of it?

[He runs the rinsed mop back over the spot where the ick had previously been, just giving it a last once over.]

Are aLloyd shinki weapons?

Not all of us, no.

It's particularly useful for those of us who don't have weapon forms to learn other techniques -- at least, if we don't have fighting skills of our own.

[He raises his eyebrows in curious invitation: after all, Jade seemed unusually casual about gore, even monstrous gore, for someone who didn't have some fighting experience.

Even as a new shinki, he might have the same instinctive sense of what he was and was not comfortable doing that Hakkai had.]
commoncurtissy: ([smile] Just a theory)

[Jade notes the curiosity and he would certainly love to indulge him, but he had less idea of the details himself than he was comfortable with. He feels like an insanely vast amount of knowledge is just gone. But oh well.

Jade merely shrugs.]


That is fascinating. I wonder if the form we take is based on the god or the individual...

[He rubs his chin thoughtfully with his clean hand.]

I suppose that's something to ponder in my spare time.

[He finishes up the mopping then rinses and squeezes out the mop one last time.]

I thank you for the information. I'll be sure to attend the lessons to see what they're about.

[He smiles pleasantly and politely.]
reformedsinner: (ha ha ha!)

[personal profile] reformedsinner 2016-08-21 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Ha ha, we'll look forward to seeing you there!

[Hakkai smiles back at him with sunny politeness, and inclines his head in polite farewell before he turns to go.]
