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~

Idiots, then. If they can't believe something like that in a place like this, they're not going to last long.

[His tone is of a similar dismissiveness to Ankh's on that subject. It's a fact of life that if you can't adapt to new things and change your perspective, you're going to become obsolete one way or another. In peace, it just means getting left behind, but in war it means a quick death, and that's what he's much more familiar with by this point.

The medal draws his focus for a moment, the stylised bird still a much more familiar one to him than the form Ankh had taken. It doesn't sound like it had been an easy fight, but as long as they were the survivors in the end, that's some kind of positive out of it, if they're at least better than that king was.]


How long did that take? [With someone who's been around for 800 years, there could be a lot of answers to that.]

Humanity is like that.

[Evolving or not, humans always seem to be a little stupid about things that did not fit into their world views. It would be so amusing to him if it didn't also cause a lot of headaches from time to time. He shouldn't even care about it, but he had time to understand and learn.

It also helped that the cop he had to possess ended up teaching him a few little things of human behavior that Ankh would have never gotten through observing.]


It's only been two years since we were freed. [It had been a crazy time, and there were moments that he wondered about whether he would ever see the other Greeed again. As much as they had been so stupid, they were still like him.]

Not all of them. But more than we like to admit, yes.

[Obviously being human himself and having lived through a war, something which forces people to adapt or die (or adapt and die anyway, in some cases), Shun does feel the need to point out it's not always the case. Still, he can certainly relate well enough to the general point, since his attitude on stupid people isn't much different.

With eight hundred years of life and only having been freed for two since being sealed, though, something seems to strike an unpleasant chord with Shun. It's harder to pick up than it might be on most, but a trace of visible discomfort comes into his expression, his jaw clenching and his generally intense focus slipping for a moment.]


...Nobody should have to be imprisoned for that long. [He knows, logically, that it's nothing like what happens in his own world, but his mind can't help but ask what if, running with the thought of his own sealed and as-good-as-dead comrades trapped for that kind of time.]

[Ankh wasn't going to argue the point. While he did know that humans weren't all like that, he still had that piece that insisted that all humans were just piles of greed. Being reduced to human for a majority of his free year had really changed him. It really had changed him and he still was unsure if he liked the change.]

No one was stupid enough to free us. [The look on his face wasn't pleasant. It's was an old look, one of ancient knowledge and greed and the absolute superiority of something that never saw the world as anything but something to devour. The look passed and Ankh was just tired and rueful.] Until a hobo with no greed in his heart stumbled into our awakening and showed me why humanity is worth helping out.
