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.

- Get the main hall clean too!
- Hope no hidden magic jumps out
- Seek counselling if you need it
- Enjoy your complimentary dinner
- Have fun~

[ She's already planning for it. Should they have it in her room? His? Or maybe on those couches downstairs, with all of those extra blankets. ]
no subject
A...sleepover? [Coming from her it sounds like an innocent concept...but who really knows?What if they're sleeping on the same bed? The thought causes him no small amount of discomfort, and he tentatively poses a question to her.]
I trust there is...nothing improper about a sleepover?
no subject
[ Pocky. She hopes this house has pocky in it. She needs to show him the joys of pocky. ]
Ah, but even though we are in the same house-- maybe we should have it downstairs on the couches! It'll technically be a sleep-in this way, but that's okay, we'll just make up for it by staying up until four!
no subject
[That's basically what he could infer from her excited chatter. At the rate he's going he's going to need to carry a dictionary around him, he didn't get half of what she said.]
no subject
She hums happily to herself. Ah, she hasn't had a sleep over in over seven years! ] ....I'll start get everything ready, okay? And you can take a shower in the meantime-- just call me if you need me. Any other questions?
no subject
No further questions. I'll see you shortly, my lady.
[Thankfully there are no further bathroom shenanigans, and she'll hear his footsteps coming down the staircase soon enough. Dressed in a pair of white pyjamas, he looks and feels completely out of place without the armour.]
no subject
When she hears him coming down the steps, she looks up towards him. And yes, she is rather surprised to see him without all of those heavy robes and armor. Briefly she wonders if she'll have to commission similar outfits for him, or if he'll be comfortable wearing modern clothes. Ah, that's another thing she'll have to do: go shopping. She can't wait. She wonders how the fashion has changed since she left the modern world for Gensokyo. ] Oh, Lu Meng, you're here!
[ She's also moved the couches to the side to build comfortable floor of pillows around the low table for them to sit upon. ] Everything's ready, so-- [ Pats to one plush pillow beside her. ] Please make yourself comfortable, and have some snacks!
no subject
[But to be polite he'll pick up the cup of what appears to be a thick, brown soup. Taking a seat at the spot she indicated, he thanks her for preparing all the food and takes a sip of the drink.
Eyebrows shoot up again, and he immediately pulls back and stares at the cup in shock.]
This is...very sweet. I had not expected it to be as such. [He takes another tentative sip again. Seems like someone's had their first hot chocolate!]
no subject
Well! This drink, Lu Meng, is called hot chocolate, because it's basically melted chocolate mixed with hot, steamed milk. Chocolate itself is actually very bitter, though, so this drink is mixed with sugar. [ Then she realizes she has to explain what sugar is. ] Sugar is a substance that's sweet like honey, except sugar grows tropically and you extract it from a bamboo-like plant.
Personally, I like my hot chocolate with a little cinnamon in it, if you'd like to try...?
no subject
[Maybe it might have been better to know what cinnamon is in the first place before he goes popping new food into his mouth, but it must be tiring for his god, he thinks, to keep explaining every little thing to him.
He takes a sip and carefully considers the new taste.]
The flavor is enhanced with the cinnamon. [He concludes, and takes a second sip again.] This beverage is quite enjoyable; I've never had anything quite like it before.
no subject
I'm glad that you have now enjoyed one of the delicious forms of chocolate. [ But! ]It's only the first step in your journey through all the wonders of chocolately desserts this modern world has to offer...!
no subject
[The words are turned around in his thoughts, expression thoughtful, and he takes one last sip before he places the cup down.]
Before we speak of that, there are other important matters that we need to speak off. Importantly, I do not know much about the god I will be serving from now on. If my lady would be willing to share, please tell me about yourself.
no subject
She coughs. ] I'm...22-- no, wait, 21! I'm 21 years old. [ She seems uncertain about her exact age. She looks up at him, trying to read him for what he wants to know. It's difficult to talk about herself without anything specific to answer. ] And, um, back in my world... I was a miko, a priestess, for a goddess of qi-- that is, wind and heaven-- named Kanako. I've been serving her ever since I could remember. [ She wonders if she should mention her ancestor Suwako, but in the end she shakes her head to herself.
What else, what else.... Oh! ] We lived in Tokyo as well, and as a miko I would perform exorcisms, rituals, purifications, and miracles for those in need. [ As she did not know that she was a god in her home world then, she doesn't mention this fact. ]Unfortunately, in this modern world... faith was declining. Kanako was beginning to fade away, and so in 2007 she decided to move her shrine to Gensokyo, which is another dimension. Although, it's perpetually set somewhere around the 1800s.
So when I say "modern world"-- me returning to this place is new to me, too, because it's been almost a decade! [ A short laugh, and then she continues. ]
A...anyway, I continued to carry out my duties as a miko in Gensokyo, although my duties focused more on exterminating the more powerful youkai there. [ She gives him a smile. ] Aaaaand, that's really all there is to me! I try to do my best with helping others and protecting them.
no subject
[He takes in this information carefully, his gaze drifting down idly towards the table in front of them as his mouth works into a thoughtful frown. He can't really place the 2007th year and the 1800s when compared with his time.
But her explanation of who she is opens up a couple of other questions. He looks up back to her.]
So my lady has been involved in religious affairs for quite some time then. Enough time spent serving a god, that it is but a simple matter to pour grain from your hands like water. [Just a neutral comment; he's trying to figure her out here.] Back then that miracle had come easily to you; have you always been able to cast such feats?
no subject
[ She holds the hot chocolate mug in front of her, fingers gently curvery around the ceramic. ] Wind was my first element-- and I always used to think that I simply channeled it through Lady Kanako. Maybe in part I did, but later manipulating it simply came naturally. The same thing with water, and then rice and fruits, and then light itself...
[ The look in her eyes is fond, as if she's reminiscing each time she's discovered a new ability. ] It simply was my ability to begin with. [ But then a pause. ] Ah-- that's not to say I didn't have to learn or study! Learning all the incantations and scripts to write charms and ofuda took a lot of practice and memorization, you know!
no subject
[No wonder she's so humble; she had been a servant to a god as well. But the fond light in her eyes suggests that her time with her god had not been unpleasant. Indeed, it must have been exciting for her to discover new powers and abilities.]
And now you have become a god yourself. What are your intentions, now that you have been elevated to your new position? And how can I best serve you?
no subject
[ Well, she always has been a god. And in truth her willingness and want to help others hasn't changed since she discovered she was a god in the first place. Only the scale of her goals has changed. She doesn't want to help just one town or village. She wants-- ] ....I want to help everyone. I want everyone to be safe, content, and happy. I believe that it's not humans that should serve the gods or bow to our will, but for us to provide the best world we can to all of life and creatio.
[ She brings her hands up from the mug, clasping them together. ] Being a god, I should be able to accomplish that, right? To see them smile, to bring about peaceful lives, and to answer their wishes...
no subject
But it's still a wonderful thing to strive for. He just hopes she has an idea of how incredibly difficult that task will be.]
How does my lady plan on accomplishing this feat?
no subject
I plan to answer every prayer and wish I get! And even reach out to those that aren't directed towards me, either, if other gods are busy!
[ Maybe she'll even make advertisements and pamphlets: HAVE YOUR PRAYERS ANSWERED, just contact Sanae! ]
no subject
no subject
I'll dedicate my all.
no subject
[He crosses his arms.] You've picked a difficult path to walk, my lady. It will be an uphill task, thankless and tiring.
But I agree with you; a god should care for their followers and for creation.
[And finally, finally there's a smile. A small one, warm with approval and hope, soft with kindness and care, and filled with gladness. Sanae may be different from him in many ways, but her core values were similar to his. There are some areas of her personality that could use a little fine-tuning (she can't always be this super excited and friendly about everything), but overall? She is someone he can take pride in serving. Someone who will see injustice righted and the poor fed and the downtrodden uplifted.
She is his god, and he is her shinki. And he is glad for that.]
So I, as a shinki, will work hard to help you accomplish your ambition. I do not know much about my new existence so I beg for my lady's patience in these early days, but I will learn as fast and as much as I can.
no subject
She returns that smile to him. ] Just because you're my shinki, doesn't mean you can't pray to me for help or miracles, too. So... I'll help you with whatever you need with adjusting to this time. [ She reaches for her hot chocolate, and raises it up in a toast. There's no alcohol in it, but that doesn't stop her from making it a friendly gesture. ]
I hope that we can be the best team of shinki and god that we can be, to bring happiness and safety to as many people as we can. [ The look in her eyes is fond. ] Kampai.
no subject
no subject
But I have to say the way you drank that in one gulp is pretty impressive! Maybe some other day we can go out and have a few drinks! [ Surprise surprise even though Sanae is a Touhou she is still fairly light weight. In comparison to the other Touhous, that is. ]
