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~

[Hooray! Barry is useful by virtue of being large and taking up space!]

So what do we do with it?

Get rid of it. If we leave it inside there'll be little black footprints everywhere.

[She pulls out a handkerchief and ties the poor little thing up in it. She'll dump the messy little bindle later.]

Anyway, I think you might be my shinki.

[Let's cut right to the chase. As far as she knows, that's the only reason she would've seen his death.]

[personal profile] very_goodman 2016-08-23 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, little demons or whatever should run around outside where they belong.

[He says, clearly an expert on these things.]

So I'm your what now?

[Barry didn't bother talking to the helpful information shinki. He's just been going with the flow.]
talkbirdytome: (you are no fun at all...)

Re: A

[personal profile] talkbirdytome 2016-08-24 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
My shinki. Didn't anybirdie tell you about this stuff?

[At the very least, one of Amaterasu's shinki should have gone over the basics. What kind of a shoddy operation are they running here?]

Well, don't worry about it. I'll fill you in. Do you have any questions?

[personal profile] very_goodman 2016-08-24 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. Guess I must've missed the lesson.

[Barry scratches his head, looking a little sheepish.]

So what's that all about?
talkbirdytome: (idkmybffbird)

[personal profile] talkbirdytome 2016-08-25 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, the short version is that the gods are disappearing in this world so they recruited a bunch of people to replace them. And gods need help fighting these monsters that wanna eat them so they brought other people here to be shinki.

I was brought here to be Mielikki, goddess of the hunt! And it looks like you're my shinki.
very_goodman: (yatta)

[personal profile] very_goodman 2016-08-26 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Fighting monsters, huh? All right, count me in!

[It seems like a good thing to do for some reason.]
talkbirdytome: (having fun)

[personal profile] talkbirdytome 2016-08-28 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Great!

[She was worried that might be a tough sell, but he seems enthusiastic. Yay!]

Do you want to test out your vessel form, or is that moving too fast?
very_goodman: (Default)

[personal profile] very_goodman 2016-08-28 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Vessel form?

[Barry clearly didn't listen to anything Amaterasu's shinki said.]

Sure, what the hell, let's give it a go.
talkbirdytome: (take my hand)

[personal profile] talkbirdytome 2016-08-29 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, okay! No time like the present!

[She appreciates the enthusiasm. Let's see, how did that go?]

Um, you who have nowhere to go and cannot pass on, I’ll give you a place to stay. My name is Mielikki. Lingering here gripping your true name.
I make you my servant with this alias. Thy name is... Ouki!!

[This is the first time she's done this. She feels so cool right now.]
very_goodman: (grin)

1/2

[There's a flash of light and a brief display of the kanji for his new name in the air, and a moment later Barry is in Hiyoko's hands in the form of a magical girl wand.]

Hey, check me out! It's just like the one from Dia Witch Iroha!

[...Apparently, anyway. He really wishes he could remember watching the show.]

[personal profile] very_goodman 2016-08-29 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[And then he remember something.]

...Hey! That wasn't the character for 'old man,' was it? I'm only 35, you know!
talkbirdytome: (Edel Blau)

[personal profile] talkbirdytome 2016-08-30 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Wow! I'm a magical girl again!

[She waves the wand and tries a few classic poses.]

I was a Pretty Coore this one time. My friends and I saved our school!

[His question does make this kind of awkward though. It was honestly the first thing she thought of.]

Um, it's a reference to your venerable wisdom.
very_goodman: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] very_goodman 2016-08-30 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Good! You've got experience, then!

[And that clarification seems to go over well too.]

Oh. Well that's okay, then! I do have a lot of venerable wisdom to share, ha ha!
talkbirdytome: (joyful)

[personal profile] talkbirdytome 2016-08-30 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Right! So I will be the pretty magical girl Edel Blau of the Blue Skies!

[You're welcome, Anghel.]

And you can be my wise adviser. But instead of a fairy or an alien, you're a ghost. I'd watch this show.

[What show?]
very_goodman: (yatta)

[personal profile] very_goodman 2016-08-30 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa, you got a cool magical girl name all ready and everything!

[Barry is totally on board with this.]

Yeah! I'd watch the hell out of this show! So what do we fight?
talkbirdytome: (pretty birdies)

[personal profile] talkbirdytome 2016-08-31 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Well, actually a friend of mine gave me that name. He's also the one who made me a pretty coore.

[She says as if that doesn't sound crazy.]

I think we fight ayakashi. They pick on humans a lot, so we've gotta save the day!
very_goodman: (side glance)

[personal profile] very_goodman 2016-08-31 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
So do I get cool powers or something? I feel like I should have some cool powers.

[Barry really should have paid attention.]
talkbirdytome: (poke)

[personal profile] talkbirdytome 2016-09-04 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
Sure you do! They give everyone here cool powers.

[As far as she knows anyway.]

I think it's sort of like a welcome gift.
very_goodman: (Default)

[personal profile] very_goodman 2016-09-04 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Awright, then let's take it out for a spin! How do I do it?

[He's eager to get started.]
