007 | Clean Up Your Act

[godsoffortune]

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~

Aw, don't worry about me. All the junk to get burned goes in the circle, I stay way over here.

Nobody's even gotten their eyebrows singed so far!

[Although it could be funny to do that, come to think of it. His grin widens slightly evilly.]

[chainbroke]

[ ... She can see a few problems with this, but. If he thinks he knows what he's doing, okay... ]

... Um, please don't burn anyone's eyebrows off.

[doestheickyjobs]

Relax! They grow back.

[This is not encouraging. It's also not exactly meant to be encouraging. He's just teasing, but the grin on his face is still friendly.]

[chainbroke]

[ ......... ]

I-I'm not sure that makes it any better.

[doestheickyjobs]

Hey, it's a lot better than burning off something that won't.

[Her worried look is getting a bit too much to take, though, and Axel leans back, laughing.]

Come on, lighten up, Namine! It's a joke.

[chainbroke]

[ A joke... haha... ]

Oh. O-of course. [ ... ] Do you mind if I sit next to you?

[doestheickyjobs]

Nah. Have a seat. [Axel pats the stone steps next to him. There's plenty of room. Not like Namine needs plenty of room, she's just about half his size, but still.]

... So, how've you been? You and Riku still doing okay?

[chainbroke]

[ Naminé takes a seat next to him, fingers playing with the hem of her tank top. ]

I'm okay--and so is he, I think, other than the memory loss... But, we just did our first prayer together, and it went well.

[doestheickyjobs]

Hey, that's good to hear. You know, the memory thing isn't that bad. I mean, sure, it hurts not knowing who you were.

[He leans his chin on his hand, looking out at the scorched circle on the pavement.]

... But we've got the chance to be whoever we want this way. Now you guys? You, I feel sorry for. You can't go back and make anything right, but you've still got to remember all about it.

[chainbroke]

[ ... He absolutely has a point. Naminé thinks about... well. She thinks about Saïx, of all people. Or maybe it's not that surprising, since the disconnect between the one she knows and the one who's arrived here is so... striking. ]

Mm. You're right. [ She can't be selfish. ] It's... a fresh start for every shinki who comes here. And that's a good thing, isn't it?

[doestheickyjobs]

Yeah.

[He doesn't look convinced. In fact, he doesn't even sound convinced; he hesitates, and drops his hands back down to the stone step behind him, leaning back as he glances at Namine.]

Wish it was that easy for you.

[chainbroke]

[ ... Well. ]

This place... it's not bad. I like it here. So... I don't mind being here at all.

[doestheickyjobs]

Yeah, I guess it's not that bad.

... What was it like where you were before?

[Must've been pretty crappy, if this is that much better of an option, he thinks.]

[chainbroke]

[ .... Aha. She can handle this. You can do it, Naminé. ]

Um. It was very... quiet. And there weren't a lot of people around?

[ ... Nailed it. ]

[doestheickyjobs]

Huh. Sounds pretty boring, if you ask me.

[Nobody to talk to. No friends... yeah, that'd really suck.]

[chainbroke]

Mm. So... this place is much better. My friends are here.

[ ... She's not gonna say she considers him a friend because she doesn't want to make things awkward. ]

[doestheickyjobs]

There's plenty of nice people here. Sure, the situation's a little weird, but not that bad!

[He gives her a brief, almost hesitant, flash of a smile.]

Hey, I'm glad you're here.
