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~

I'm wondering who decided it was a good idea to trap this creature here! It does seem rather powerful, doesn't it?

[And big. And it might've been a real problem for someone who wasn't both as good in a fight and feeling quite so motivated to kill something as Hakkai feels right now.

There's something wonderfully straightforward about just having an enemy in front of him, with no complicated motives but a mutual desire to kill.

He curves his hands around each other, gathering energy, and slams one palm into the creature's side with a sudden, subdued glint of light around his hand. The spider-creature rears up, shrieking in agony apparently out of proportion to the attack, and slumps sideways. There's a surprisingly large hole blown in its body where Hakkai's palm struck, almost large enough to tear the carapace in two. He pulls out a handkerchief and starts wiping thin ichor fastidiously off his fingers, looking down at the twitching corpse.]


Certainly not the sort of thing I'd like to see one of our younger shinki open a door to find.

[Sorry, Hakkai, but he stopped listening about halfway through that. There's only so long he can watch someone rip a creature apart with their bare hands and still be expected to carry on a coherent conversation.

He doesn't even particularly love this kind of violence, but that doesn't mean he can't appreciate the skill and power behind it, or feel somewhat envious of it.

Mmm-hmm, very powerful...

Ah... Ren?

[That's quite a stare. Hakkai blinks at him, folding the handkerchief neatly so that it won't stain his slacks before he puts it back into his pocket.]

Is everything all right?

[...Whoops, his staring has been noticed. (Not that this would be the first time...) But he just laughs a little and waves one of his hands to hopefully assuage any genuine worry here.]

Sorry, I was just thinking...I haven't seen you fight anything before. I can see why Hibari listens to you.
reformedsinner: (oh myyy)

Oh.

[...He hasn't, has he? Of course, Hakkai also hasn't fought much, at least not in his human form. And being a sword is quite different. He clears his throat.]

... Yes, in fact, I suppose it is why he listens.

[He had had to defeat the boy a few times before Hibari started listening at all.]
