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, this is familiar and at the same time... not. He's not at all intimidated by the mess, if anything this represents a new kind of challenge!!!

He does pause for a moment to take in the mess and decide what is the best course of action. Out of everything here, the model kits are what seems to grab his attention first.

You into this kinda stuff? [ He walks over to the art corner and squats down to point at the kits. ]

I only ever finished one, but it's fun!

[He joins Kenren over at the little art corner and plunks himself down on the floor to show it off.]

They don't have Gunpla Battle here, so it's not like I can really use them for anything, but it's practice for when I can finally go back and see Sei again. They probably won't let me use these...

[He picks up a few pieces that are currently drying and holds them up. They're from different kits and while he really doesn't know much about combining different kits to make custom models, he sure as hell is trying.]

[ Kenren lets his eyes wander over the different pieces. ]

"Gunpla Battle"?

[ He knows about the Gunpla part (thanks, Tenpou), but do people actually fight with these models? ]

Yeah! Sei and I are world champions.

[He puffs up a little, obviously proud of himself. (And Sei. He's not that egotistical. But Sei isn't here right now.)

After a moment, though, he deflates a little and looks a bit frustrated.]


But no one here has even heard of it and there aren't any games like it. Nothing even comes close.

[And he's spent a great deal of the last month looking.]

[ He can't help but smile a little at the puffing up. ]

So? How's it all work? Who says you can't start something like it here?

[Reiji holds up his wrist, indicating his bracelet and its empty setting.]

You need an Arista to make it work and mine's gone. The rest are on Arian and I can't get back there without one, so unless someone can figure out another way to make the Gunpla move, there's no way to play the game. The particles it puts out makes it so they can move and fight like they're real!

[Some life comes back into him when he talks about the game, but it goes out just as quickly when he looks back down at the unfinished model pieces and frowns.]

There aren't any games here that let you fight like that. Like your opponent is really right there in front of you.

[ Nodding as Reiji explains... even if he's only getting about half of it. ]

So if I'm understanding this right, what you're lacking is some way to control the model? Hmmm. I know there's plenty of toys you can make move with a controller or some other device. What about something like that?
