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~

I'm certain we could! I'm curious about how it would look on flowers myself. Shall we?

[He gestures gallantly to the door, letting her precede him.]

[lilys_poise]

[She giggles and nods.]

We shall!

[And then skips out the door cheerfully. Finding flowers outside isn't too difficult if you aren't picky about what kind of flowers. Elise zeros in on the first thing they find, which happens to be an azalea bush that's just starting to bloom.]

Oh! Here's one!

[Elise doesn't hesitate to sparkle it up a little. Again, it starts to glow faintly.]

[reformedsinner]

Ha ha, what a nice effect. Be careful, though! Who knows if it might do something other than glow?

[The cherry blossoms at the party had seemed perfectly healthy that night... but he hadn't gone back to look at them later.]

[lilys_poise]

Like what?

[As if to answer her question, the glow begins to fade as the buds on the bush suddenly blossom. Elise gasps.]

Oooh, how pretty!

[reformedsinner]

It is, isn't it? Don't get any on your hands!

[So is it an instant-aging spell? Or something made especially for flowers? The box had glowed, too, after all.]

[lilys_poise]

I'm still wearing the gloves.

[She wiggles her fingers at him.]

Hey, maybe it's something to make flowers bloom. We should try it on other plants!

[She does try several nearby bushes and gets the same result. They go from just barely budding to in full bloom.]

[reformedsinner]

Ha ha, I'm just being cautious! [And he probably shouldn't comment about what exactly it might be that's more dangerous than a gardening tool. No need to frighten a little girl.]

After all, some gardening chemicals can be dangerous to get on your skin.

But I think you'd be safe keeping it for now if you'd like!

[lilys_poise]

Really? Thanks!

[She already has so many plans for sparkly plant powder.]

I didn't know that part about the chemicals though. Do you know a lot about gardening?

[reformedsinner]

Only what I've read! I've been thinking of starting a kitchen garden.

[It hasn't gotten much further than reading a few gardening books, but it's a nice thought, at least. Perhaps when he next has a few quiet days to work.]

-- Are you a god or a shinki, Elise?

[lilys_poise]

Kitchen garden? Does that mean growing stuff in your kitchen or for your kitchen?

[Either sounds interesting.]

I'm a shinki! I just started though, so I don't know much about it yet.

[reformedsinner]

For the kitchen. There's not nearly enough light in it!

[Hakkai's smile gentles slightly. Ah -- poor girl. Dead at such a young age. With luck, she'll have a more responsible god than some....]

Is that so! I'm a shinki myself -- who is your god?

[lilys_poise]

Helios! I haven't met him yet though.

[She may be putting it off.]

Who is your god?

[reformedsinner]

Helios... do you know, I don't think I've met him either! I hope you get along well.

Mine is Menrva -- Elsa Randall.
