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~

[Okay... Carefully stepping over the mass of books and empty containers, Rei decided on helping out his god with the spring cleaning. Why? Because after a quick glance around and watching the way that Tenpou worked- it was quite obvious that he needed help and as much as possible.]

'The Swim Coaching Bible'? I don't think I have but... I will keep an eye for it! You just had it, so how hard can it be to find again?

[Oh Rei... Don't crow, right now. You are just as embarrassing as your god. If not worse.]

That's the spirit. It was a soft-cover book. If you find it, I'm putting the books on sports on this pile [ He pats a moderately high pile ] and also over there [ He points at another pile further away, but it could be one of three ]. Oh, and if you find any sports manga, those need to go elsewhere.

[ Didn't he say that Rei didn't have to work...? Well, don't mind the details.  ]

[Details, Details. Either way, the offer to not work was silently ignored as Rei drifted over towards a tower of books and happily read the cover.]

Right... Sports manga would be placed next to the all the other boy centered manga. Did you know that there's even a manga based off of swimming?

[And there goes the fourth wall... tumbling like a tower of overstocked books. We didn't need that now, did we?]

[ We didn't need that now and we won't need it ever. Goodbye, fourth wall. You are not wanted. We are Free! ]

Ah, are you into that? I can think of three titles off the top of my head, but it's never been a popular sub-genre in sports manga... I wonder why that is.

[Haha. I see what you did there. Aren't we so clever of puns to make puns at our muses expenses? Now onto more serious matters- these two are such nerds. Who bonds over books, honestly? Nerds. That's who.]

Well... I like to read, and sometimes it is easier to read manga just because it isn't such a niche section. I much rather read books that have more theory in them. I believe that once you have the theory down, you can conquer anything.

[Yes and speaking of nerds, I'm also going to match you in not using small font because it's so much easier to read like this, and these two are megane characters which means this is considerate of their eyesight on a meta level. Win/win.]

Well, you're not wrong. Practice is very important, but having a firm grasp on the theory can help you make the right decision when you don't have the time to consider many options.

What subjects would you like to read more about? Try not to think too hard about it, and just say the first few that come to your mind.
