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~

Aaah, what did I say about being careful, huh?

[The scolding is obviously very much a form of play, if the way Souji laughs and gently gives her a teasing little shove, as if to indicate she should sit back and relax more. But seriously, she really looks like she should go easy on herself a little while.]

We'd be happy to have you over, though! His temple is such a beautiful place, and it's got very nice gardens as well.

[And something about it feels very much like home. He supposes it's the kind of environment that he might've been used to when he was alive - especially the dojo, for some reason.]

Ah, and you could meet the ducklings! They're really cute. [What.]

Ah, sorry, sorry! I'm no good at listening to others! [Especially not about her own health or safety OOPS. Really, she'll need a 'real' shinki sooner rather than later she needs a keeper.

But she sits back obediently, and if she leans a little heavier against the low table, well, who can judge her for it?

Her eyes widen slightly and she blinks owlishly at him
] ...Ducklings?

[That gets a laugh out of him.]

Well, you are a God now, right? A God can't just be ordered about... but listening to advice every now and again is probably acceptable.

[Huh. Gently treading someone in a position of authority really is one thing that feels right at home to him. It's interesting to pick up these tidbits of personality as they turn up.

But more importantly: Ducklings.]
I found them! When I was cleaning, I found a lot of colorful ducklings with nowhere to go, so me and Yamato-kun put them in my God's garden. They're very cute? [It's like at least 300 ducks rip Hijikata...]

Ahaha, that's true! I've been told 'a god is always just,' but I can't believe something like that so easily either... No one's without fault and no one is perfect. Even us gods have to learn and make mistakes and grow, or else we'll remain stagnant. "Those who cling to perceptions and views wander the world offending people."

[Sanzang smiles though and shrugs. Talking about the ducks is probably better than dragging some poor soul into a philosophical debate and flinging Buddhist quotes around.]

How cute! But I wonder why those ducks were around to begin with... Who did they originally belong to, I wonder? If they're ducklings they must not have been around here too long! Well, I suppose if no one tries to claim them it's fine! It'll be quite a bit of work to take care of them, though... [Assuming that "a lot" means, you know. A LOT.]

Huuuh. You really are a very wise Goddess, aren't you?

[Yeah, all of that is a little bit too deep and introspective for Souji to fully grasp, bless him. But even so he enjoys the sound of the words, and the dazzling certainty and conviction that seem to give the their power. He's always been drawn to people who have powerful visions, even if he himself would never view himself as such.

He's much more at home with ducklings though, yes.]


Well, they came out of a pond inside a room... but the pond was far too small for all of them once I tried to put them back. [The pond might have had some kind of hammerspace ability, but Souji sure didn't know how to activate it.] But they're pretty easy to take care of, I think. We'll just have to feed them and clean up after them.
