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~

You're... the Merciful Goddess...?
sanzohoshi: (I don't get hangovers. Except once.)

[She frowns, suddenly looking a little self-conscious]

Well... That's what they said... If you'v met her like I have, I guess it might be a little hard to believe, huh? I'm really nothing like her, I don't have any right to accept such a grand title, but it's what this place decided.

[Which leaves the unfortunate implication that the Kanzeon they all know and love is dead and gone in this world. Nice.]

Um! But don't worry! [Sanzang waves her hands earnestly] I'll do my best! I promise not to be a disappointment!

[personal profile] scatterproudly 2016-08-22 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ THANK GOD YOU'RE NOTHING LIKE HER. ]

No, no, it's okay. That's—none of us really get a say in this. It was just... surprising.

[ Kenren could get used to this, but... Konzen? Well, that was going to be an interesting thing to witness. ]
sanzohoshi: (I'm gonna lurk in the bushes)

[personal profile] sanzohoshi 2016-08-22 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, phew... I was worried, I thought you were already disappointed or something...

[She wipes at her head with a sheepish, albeit relieved smile.]

Something about you is...a little familiar... [But it's fainter then, say, the feeling she gets looking at people like Hakkai or Gojyo. Weird?? She doesn't know, but she also stopped questioning weird feelings she got a long time ago.]

So, Master Kenren... Let's get along and be friends, okay? That's fine, right?

[personal profile] scatterproudly 2016-08-22 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Familiar...?

[ He thinks for a moment. ]

Uh, have you met Gojyo? People say we kinda look alike, so... maybe that's it?

[ Note to self: Ask Gojyo how they're supposed to deal with this or what they're meant to tell people when they point out the resemblance. ]

That's fine! [ Clears his throat. ] I... look forward to working together! [ As gods. Colleagues? Something. ]
sanzohoshi: (Drinking ketchup out of the bottle)

[personal profile] sanzohoshi 2016-08-22 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm. [She tilts her head, considering] No, it's not like that... Besides, you don't look like the Master Gojyo I know! [Though at this point she's aware there is a Gojyo here, she hasn't met him yet by the time this thread's happened. Probably. Makes vague hand movements.]

It's more like... Something in my heart is responding to you, like my soul knows you, in some way. [In addition to being Sanzo she's also sort of probably Konzen, in a way?? It's ambiguous. Thanks games.]

Whatever it is, I don't mind it. It lets me know I can trust you! I know there's a lot of people from different worlds here, and that my old traveling companions are both here and not here-- that is, it's their names, and some similarities, but it's them from an alternative universe. It's a little...

[she trails off, her expression going a bit distant and sad. It's lonely, is what it is. Alienating. She knows them, but she doesn't. Sanzang shakes her head as if to clear it and forces a happy smile again] Well, I don't know a 'Kenren' where I'm from, but what I'm trying to say is that it doesn't matter if I know you or not, because I definitely intend to! And to be friends!

[ Kenren doesn't even know where to start. "Her soul knows him"? That would be a great pickup line if that's what she was trying to go for, but by now Kenren can tell that's not the case.

And then she brings up... "alternate universes"? This sounds exactly like one of Tenpou's sci-fi novels, but there's nothing fictitious about this! Is that really what's going on? Is that how they can be here at the same time as Gojyo's group??
]

I... thanks?

[ Please excuse his inarticulateness he's trying his best to cope. ]

As... long as it's not weird for you or anything.
sanzohoshi: (I don't get hangovers. Except once.)

[A bright little laugh and she shakes her head]

No, I've been through weirder things! I guess that's why it's so easy to accept. After a while you just sort of shrug and go "okay" when strange things happen.

[She seems to catch on that he might not fall into that category of 'let it roll off your back' like she is.]

...Do you need to sit down for a minute?
scatterproudly: (54)

[personal profile] scatterproudly 2016-08-29 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I'm... I'm fine.

[ He's heavily leaning on his broom, but He Is Fine. ]

I should learn some of that—shrugging and accepting strange things happening. It would make things a lot easier around here.
