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~

[Sheryl remains silent as the video ends, stunned with disbelief but utterly mesmerized. This would normally be a troublesome notion; to have more singers like him means competition for her. She has to be better than go— no, better than her best.

But right now, she thinks she can find inspiration for her next set of lyrics.]


Now I see why he's influential! [And with knitted brows:] How come I've never seen him before until now?! He's from Earth, right?

[Up to this point, every time Kurama's seen her, Sheryl's had an air of composure about her, like even sadness has to get through a security check first. It's not unpleasant--he appreciates it, even, as someone from a similar school of behavior--but there's something to be said for the occasional bout of unrestrained wonder.]

That video is probably two and a half decades old by now. I think he had an album out before I was brought here, but that was still only a decade after this. If he hasn't worked since then... well, I'm sure you're familiar with the prioritization of new material. [Since she's a musician herself and all.]

Older than me, then.

[If the video is decades old, this musician must have been established long before she was born. She nods at Kurama's words, affirming them as she tones down her wonder. Being in the music industry long enough has helped her learn that every chart-topping act will go through a revolving door of popularity and relevancy.]

That's how it goes. You shine for one moment and then someone else will hold the public's attention. It's why certain musicians stress about leaving a legacy behind so they won't be forgotten.

[Like herself.]
