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~

How old do you think I am?!

[ This is getting personal now, geez! Gojyo rakes a hand back through his hair, as though testing to make sure it's all still there. There's a strand or two tangled around his fingers when he pulls his hand free, but no more -- he's not going bald yet, stop making him think he's gonna go bald! ]

You're the one who needs glasses to read!
sanzohoshi: (That's the last time)

Hmm... Maybe only a little older than me...? [She taps her cheek, tilting her head this way and that in a mock uncertainty.

The corner of her mouth twitches and then she can't hide her smile, which quickly makes way for giggles, and then full-out laughing. She doubles over; it's not really that funny, but it's like everything overwhelming is spilling out, and it's either in this way or crying, so...
]

I want to hug you, but you'd probably push me away, huh? [She wipes at her eyes, grinning] Still, it's been a while since I laughed like this!
erogappa: (smile -- shy)

Well yeah, when you say it like that it makes me not want to. [ --he grumps, still pouting about his hair. Also there's the whole idea of hugging any version of Sanzo that just feels... life-threatening.

Still. With a kind of half a shrug he holds his arms open, and this is very strange, just for the record. It's probably really stupid of him to be this trusting of what's effectively a perfect stranger. But he can't deny that he knows her.
]

So tell me about Master Hakkai.
sanzohoshi: (Stop it with the monkey emojis.)

[She looks surprised at first and ten her eyes get very misty despite her pleased smile. With a laugh she throws her arms around his waist and hugs him tightly, burying her face in his chest.

Again, it's not the same, exactly, but he's warm and something feels undeniably safe; Sanzang was a trusting person by nature, true, but she can't even begin to feel threatened here. It's Gojyo! At least a Gojyo! She's too happy to think of anything else.

His question makes her laugh a little; the Hakkai she'd met here had been a little eager to hear more about her version of Gojyo, so she figures it's fitting this Gojyo would want to know abut her Hakkai.

She pulls away some to look up at him, amused
] He was a traveling chef, he was wandering all over trying to find the 'perfect flavor.' Whenever we stopped in a town or village, he had to go everywhere tasting everything! But he was gentle and nice-- he was always trying to stop everyone from fighting, and any sort of happy or sad story would make him cry.

[Sanzang laughs softly again, her expression warm and a bit wistful] He was a pig demon and certainly looked like one; and he was big and laughed with his whole body... When our journey was over... He's the only one who stayed at the temple with me for a long time. Everyone else left and went their separate ways, even Goku...
erogappa: (laughing -- hee hee)

[ There's a sexy girl hugging him who also happens to be a sanzo. His body is so confused right now. ]

So it's all backwards. [ He frowns a little, thinking, but then beams at Sanzang. ] It's like you're our opposites! Or we're your opposites, [ --he amends with a shrug. ] A happy girl Sanzo, me with no hair, party animal Hakkai... I bet Goku was, what. A string bean? [ He laughs at the thought. ] Taller'n I am, and half my size?
sanzohoshi: (It's cosmic balancing.)

[She can't help but laugh]

He was, actually! Well, maybe a little shorter than you, but not by much. He's loud and mischievous, and always getting in trouble with his pranks. [Her laughter trails off and she's quiet a moment]

But... He's not always a good guy... He's gotten into some big trouble back home and involved in some pretty evil things. [Sanzang hides her face against his chest again, sighing deeply. She only takes that moment to let her actual grief show, before she pulls away again and plasters a bright smile on]

But, it'll be okay! I'll knock some sense into him and drag him home! He won't know what hit him! [She lets him go, waving one of her sleeves a little for emphasis]
