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~

Let me rephrase, your bag is sentient.

[There's just a slight tone of sarcasm to go with her discrimination against the not alive.]

[talkbirdytome]

Are they? They didn't seem to understand me...

Does dust usually become self aware if you leave it for a long time?

[readerofthestars]

I'm afraid I lack the memories of any experiences that could confirm or deny the possibility.

[talkbirdytome]

Well... I've never had any of my messes spontaneously come alive. But I guess anything is possible.

[Which makes this sort of awkward. If they are living beings then she can't just throw them in the trash. But they also probably aren't edible....]

So what do you think I should do with them?

[readerofthestars]

Release them outside far enough away that they won't get back to where you found them.

[Are you actually serious, Nageki?]

[talkbirdytome]

.....

[Well... that sounds okay except]

Then won't they just go mess up a different temple?

[readerofthestars]

You'll have to kill them or free them, Miss Tosaka. I don't think you can keep a dust bunny as a pet.

[talkbirdytome]

[They're sort of cute and also inedible. So Hiyoko actually does feel a little bad just killing them. But they can't just roam free either...]

Hey... maybe throwing them out is the answer after all! It's fine if we set them loose somewhere the mess they make wouldn't matter, right?

[Somewhere that's already full of mess. Where a little bit more would go unnoticed.]

[readerofthestars]

[He thinks about this. Fairly deeply.]

What if you just put them in a box or a cage?

[talkbirdytome]

And then what? Just leave them in there?

[Honestly letting them loose in a landfill might be kinder.]

[readerofthestars]

[He shrugs.] Pets.

[talkbirdytome]

[She looks at the bag, then back up at Nageki.]

Did you want one?
