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~

Comments

[galactically]

Miss Amaterasu said that she's working on finding out what brought us here.

[If she remembers correctly, that is. It's been a while. Leaning against a nearby wall, she folds her arms across her bust, the slightest of tension on her forehead and nose.]

I wish I knew.

[reformedsinner]

I wonder. I'm sure it's troublesome for them to have us all here, but they've gotten some use out of us, too.

[And would they really care what brought the new gods and shinki here, except insofar as it poses a threat to the Heavens? The Heavens haven't showed too much concern so far about their safety or comfort. And yet, on the other hand, they also haven't simply wiped them out.

That could be because they're not sure how many of them will come back, and in what shape, of course.]

[galactically]

I don't want to say this, but if they plan to use us... they might as well be heartless until the very end.

[Sheryl suspects there is an ulterior motive involved with the people working at the Heavens. Tsuzuki already warned her that they will kill her, that they don't care human laws, or what other gods think of them. She presses her lips together to form a thin line.]

[reformedsinner]

If we're not useful at all, I'm sure there won't be too much tolerance for any trouble we might cause.

[Be more useful than you are troublesome: that's the recipe for convincing authority not to crush you.

Not that he's cynical, of course. Perish the thought.]

[galactically]

Now that's a nicer way of saying there will be divine punishment on us.

[Her wording is just as nice and polite, if not masking as much suspicion as she could from her tone. Her face, on the other hand...]

This is too depressing!

[reformedsinner]

I'm afraid it's something we'll just have to get used to!

[Unless they want to defy the Heavens. And that's not something Hakkai plans to recommend doing while they're sitting in the Great Hall, even if it is a disused inside storeroom.]

[galactically]

No, thanks! I want to focus on more positive things.

[Like not worrying about whether or not the Heavens can actually kill people or make them disappear on a whim. Even she only has guesses, the kind that she'd rather put on the backburner.]

[reformedsinner]

I suppose that's a way to deal with it, too.

[Denial! Far be it from him to criticize that choice of coping mechanism.]

Ah, I think that's all for this box. I'll just take the junk out to be disposed of....

[galactically]

And I should get back to torture.

[A dramatic sigh, more exaggerated for comedic effect to go with her arm movements as she struts away.]

I mean, boring and tedious labor. I'll go ahead and leave you alone now! Later, Mr. Hakkai.

[reformedsinner]

Ha ha, I'll see you later, Sheryl!
