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~

They told me the gods use shinki as weapons. Do you think being a weapon might hurt?

[She puts up another stack of books to build the castle another wall, this one behind the throne.]

Protocol? Oh, you mean those are the king's retainers. Yeah, they should be there to protect him.

[She approves of the addition of pawns. And will also add a bishop, setting him on the other side of the king.]

That's the king's adviser.

Well, not all shinki are weapons. From what I've seen, some vessel forms are for defense or support. And anyone can get hurt during a fight, but I don't think being used for your intended purpose should hurt... Only if you're attacked.

[ He nods at the bishop, with a slight smile. ]

A good king always listens to his advisers... [ And then he's going to turn the king piece slightly to the side, to reflect that, but then he pauses.] Hmm. Do you think he is a good king?

That's good. It would be awful being a sword or club if you had to feel it every time you hit something.

[It would also make you a really ineffective weapon. The next answer is out of her mouth before she really has time to think about it.]

But what if the adviser is bad? If a king listens to a bad adviser does that make him bad too?
