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~

Those guys up there like bossing people around...

[Not resentful at all. At least in this place Roxas has so much more freedom to do what he wants. In his mind it could be much, much worse. Imagine things like this happening on an almost daily basis because the person you're working for has hired more inept workers than good ones.

He grumbles as he stares at the other guy.]

Wouldn't have stopped that thing from breaking the door down, just make it harder. It would've still gotten out.

[revolutionfalcon]

But it would've given you more time to come up with a plan.

[Because looking at the situation from where he's standing, if someone hadn't happened to come by at this point in the proceedings, things could have gone a lot worse with that monster.]

That doesn't answer the question of what it is, either.

[It's clearly some kind of magical object, but if it's something people have in this place, he feels like he should try to get what information he can about it.]

[missingache]

[When you're pressed against a door and trying to keep a monster from killing you, he last thing you would think of is sealing the door. Roxas just doesn't reply to that statement.]

They're Keyblades. I use them to fight Heartless and anything else that attacks people.

[He can also point tell you that there's more than one person who can summon them if you're nicer to him.]

[revolutionfalcon]

[Definitely a weapon, then. While it would be nice to know how many people here have them, he's not going to go out of his way to ask. As long as he knows they're a thing that exist here, he can be somewhat prepared.]

A weapon that seals doors? It's a weird combination, but it obviously works well enough.

[If the fact that the door isn't budging despite the absence of the lock to the naked eye is any indication.]

[missingache]

They open any door, too. Unless there's some special magic that stops them.

[There's probably ones that unseal other things, too. Roxas is thankful he only has those two options.]

Since it's not a shinki, I can't use it to fight ayakashi. I can fight everything else with them. Even ghosts!

[revolutionfalcon]

It wouldn't make a hell of a lot of sense if it couldn't, anyway.

[It's a key. It'd actually make even less sense if it only sealed doors than if it only opened them.]

We're supposed to be in the afterlife, and shinki are supposed to be what happened to lost souls. I can't imagine we have many ghosts to use that thing on.

[missingache]

[In Kingdom Hearts-verse anything is possible! Including unlocking a heart. That was thing.]

I know. I didn't use it on the ghosts I did meet either. They were customers.

[revolutionfalcon]

[Well, he's clearly missed something here, and his brow quirks slightly even if the rest of his expression remains neutral.]

"Customers"? What the hell were you supposed to be providing them?

[missingache]

[He nods]

Most of the time it's just helping them move on, but there's the ones who liked to curse or haunt workers. But the Witch said we're supposed to treat them like customers.

[revolutionfalcon]

[That's...not really how customers work, but he supposes he can see the logic.]

That's not the first thing people are going to think when you say customers. And who the hell is "the Witch"?

[Gods, he's more than familiar enough with by this point. Witches, not so much.]

[missingache]

[No one said a Ghibli based game has to make sense.]

Most of the customers were monsters and spirits. [Going to try not to sound irritated.] She's who I worked for in the last place I was in.

[revolutionfalcon]

[Shun's pretty sure Roxas kind of missed the point on that one, and he's a shade annoyed-sounding himself when he replies.]

You're not there anymore, are you? In a place where it's common, fine, but even here, that's not the kind of thing most people are familiar with. [They fight the monsters here, not serve them.] So what, you didn't come from your own world?

[The way that's worded is making him curious, because he figures if it was that simple he would've just said his world and not the last place.]

[missingache]

[Yeah. That happens sometimes. Just be patient. There's times when he takes more after Sora than he'd like to think.]

I haven't been to my own world in way over a year.

[His world, or worlds, are weirder. At least the last one had some sort of consistency.]

[revolutionfalcon]

[Though alternate dimensions aren't common to Shun, he doesn't feel like this is so much a case of that, and his eyes narrow a little at the mention of that kind of time.]

Do you even know what's going on back there, or haven't you been able to find out?

[Because if there's one thing that's definitely been on his mind while here, it's what the effect on things back home is. He's hoping something to do with this presumably being a space outside his world's own four dimensions will mean time at least doesn't pass the same way.]

[missingache]

[ Moved here! ]
