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~

[ There is some strip of land that runs around the border of the pool, which could be used to plant things, maybe. Jiroshin once chided Kanzeon Bosatsu that she'd never even cared for a potted plant before; how could she possibly care for a child? Funny enough, the same description could have gone for Konzen too, at the time. He still got stuck on babysitting duty.

He's not really sure if he'd done a great job at it. He tried his best, though. ]

Be careful, [ he says a little anxiously as she leans over the pool. Okay, so maybe Konzen is a bit of fussy mama. (Don't tell him that, though). ]

[lilys_poise]

[She'll find room. It doesn't need to be a big garden. Honestly she probably couldn't manage more than a small plot of flowers. Waving away his concern with a smile, she stands and brushes off her skirt.]

I'll be fine! It's probably not that deep.

[Probably? Well, she's not worried. There are more important things to think about.]

So what is your favorite color? You said it wasn't white.

[bon_bon]

My favorite color...?

[ It's not something he ponders about, so he doesn't have a ready answer. He looks somewhat puzzled as he gropes for an answer. ]

I've never thought about it before.

[ He feels a weird foreboding. She did say redecorating... ]

Why?

[lilys_poise]

Never?!? But everyone needs a favorite color.

[That is just baffling to her. She doesn't even have memories and she's got a favorite color. Maybe two favorites.]

Mine are pink and purple.

[Two favorites is obviously fine.]

You should pick one, so we know what kind of flowers to plant. And what color to decorate in.

[bon_bon]

[ They do? Says who? Konzen has a feeling she's just making this up. ]

Um.

[ Decorate in. Suddenly his fears are realized. He pictures pink and purple walls. Pink curtains. Purple chairs. Pink pillows. ]

What kind of decorations? [ he asks dubiously. ]

[lilys_poise]

Oh, you know.

[She starts ticking items off on her fingers.]

Like furniture, rugs, curtains, pillows.... and I guess we could paint the walls too.

[She'd be happy to start with her favorite colors if he can't think of one. See? A favorite color is suddenly very important.]

I bet this place'll look great once we spruce it up!

[bon_bon]

The walls...?

[ He cringes a little. Okay, maybe he's okay with a few throw pillows and maybe even a table runner but purple walls just sound way too gaudy. ]

Maybe you can ... start somewhere smaller.

[lilys_poise]

Smaller?

[She looks around for a likely place to start. Smaller than the walls, let's see....]

Oh, I know! Let's get new curtains for the windows!

[bon_bon]

[ Curtains are acceptable but he has a feeling that wasn't the intent of this temple of the sun god. However, maybe this place could add some color and privacy? And at least curtains are easily replaceable. ]

All right.

[ Small compromises, he can do this. He's lived with a kid before. ]

Come on, let's find you a room.

[lilys_poise]

[They can start with curtains. And then move on to other things. This place needs a lot more color in it. But first, a room!]

Okay~! Hey is there a room where you can see the yard out the window? That would be great.

[bon_bon]

[ ooc: going here ]
