003 | Save The Boats
Who: Everyone!
What: It's a few days after Hinamatsuri - time for a party!
When: Late evening (March 5, 2016) into early morning (March 6, 2016)
Where: The banks of the Kamo River
Summary: The Heavens have thrown together an outdoor party to celebrate Spring and ALSO to ask the Far Shore residents to keep the boats from Hinamatsuri from coming to shore.
Hinamatsuri is celebrated in Japan on March 3 every year. It is a festival to celebrate all of the young girls of Japan, not as important as their own birthdays, but certainly a big day for all families with a little girl among their household. It's perfectly normal for all of the cuties to dress up and get all sorts of delightful treats out of the day.
One of the normal festivities is a ceremony during which ornamental dolls are placed on tiers on boats and floated down the river. It is thought that all of the bad luck for the coming year floats down the river with the dolls, taking that bad luck away from their young girls to keep them safe for another year.
But the boats don't always make it all the way down the river like they're supposed to, and the Heavens sometimes like to make sure that the year will be full of less bad luck for the people of Japan. So they have decided to have the almighty gods do some legwork and disguised it as a fun Springtime party! They expect gods and shinki alike to push the boats away from the shoreline wherever they see them venturing near.
New gods and shinki will have been ushered immediately to the party as well, given all of the normal information, and then left to mingle among their new cohorts. This is a perfect opportunity to introduce the newbies to both their co-workers and the kinds of jobs they'll be expected to perform.
Buffet
A luxurious buffet is set up for everyone to enjoy. There are all kinds of foods to enjoy, though they all seem to be of a local variety. The Heavens have apparently used the funding from their own temples to purchase local food and support local businesses at the same time. In particular among the food and copious amounts of booze, you will find some Hinamatsuri staples - hina-arare, hishi mochi, chirashizushi, and a salt-based clam soup called ushijiru. Among the booze you'll find shirozake, a sake made from fermented rice, also a regular fare of Hinamatsuri.
The Boats
As if they are literally overflowing with bad luck, the boats seem to be making a desperate attempt to land themselves upon the shoreline. They are reluctant to make their way back into the water and will gladly run people down if they're allowed to and are happy to ram into someone over and over again to try and get their way. When they are finally pushed back to the center of the river, they will begrudgingly continue on their way. Of course, some of them will simply sink because of the weight of all that bad luck, but who can really blame them.
Children
As expected of a day dedicated to celebrating children, there are dozens of children running around and playing games during the festivities. It's hard to distinguish, but some of them appear to be human children while others are shinki. They are happy to let anyone in on their games and will gladly bother adults to come play with them or to let them try some of the liquor. (Mods will be available to play out any child interactions you may want, just flag us down.)
Counselling
Off to the side, there is a tiny table set up with a small, nicely written sign that reads "Gentle Counselling". On the other side of the table is a sweetly smiling shinki who is willing to listen to your problems and answer any questions you might have. She is also here to help out any gods that are having a hard time dealing with knowing about how their shinki died and any shinki that is having trouble coming to terms with the fact that they are dead.

- Have some fun with cute little kids
- Seek counselling if you need it!
- Flag the mods in the top thread if you'd like an NPC
- Have fun~

[That better not have meant what the red-head had obviously meant, because he was going to have a complete issue with.
He was.
A weapon.]
I am not your weapon.
no subject
I know you don't like it. And please don't think that I don't care about how you feel about it, because I do. [Although maybe not as much as he did ten minutes ago...]
But you do have the power to turn into something now, and I can't fight the ayakashi without you. I don't know why it works that way, but it does.
[And now he is definitely getting ready to try to dodge if need be, because he won't be at all surprised if he'll need to after that.]
no subject
But not being able to fight the ayakashi. Obviously someone as weak as Ren would need his help, but he never worked in teams. He hated people enough that he was half a minute away from kicking the red-head in the face and leaving.
But he saw that Ren had tensed up as he moved forward-he was finally learning at least.]
And what exactly will be the benefit of us fighting the ayakashi?
no subject
Mmm, I'm not sure if there's a benefit for us....I'd like to fight them because it seems like they only exist to hurt people. I don't like that.
[He's not sure Hibari will go for that, though, so...]
For us, I suppose...it's fun? I can't fight the way I'd like to here, but fighting them is fun too.
no subject
Just know that if you even think you can just use me as a tool, I will bite you to death myself.
[Thankfully, he didn't take another move forward.] I'm guessing this has something to do with the words on my arm.
no subject
Because that is waaaaay less important at the moment than the opportunity that just presented itself. And here he was thinking he would have to be the one to bring that up again.]
They're related. Would you mind showing them to me? I'd like to see what they say.
no subject
Still, he rolled up the sleeve on his left arm, displaying the two kanji branded onto his arm with a displeased frown. Maybe now he'll get some explanation about this word-Kumoki-on his arm.]
no subject
He does test out the other reading of it first, though, since that had been how Hana's names had worked. But once his murmured "Unki?" doesn't yield any results, he nods in satisfaction and takes a step back.]
Thank you. And now you can be angry with me.
[And before Hibari can get too alarmed about what that could mean, Ren stretches open his hand and narrows his eyes at Hibari.]
Kumoki!
[What better way to find out what Hibari turns into and show him what the tattoo means, after all? It isn't very nice, admittedly, but he's also still a little irritated about being on the ground a few minutes ago.]
oh NOW he's pissed
It was almost like a jolt went through his body. Hibari couldn't fight it at all, and suddenly the world around him was changed, and he couldn't fight it.
There was a slight pause before suddenly, a pair of tonfas appeared in Ren's hand.
He was not happy and almost immediately discovered the mental link he shared with his god.]
WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME.
gomen hibari he won't do it often promise
You're still yelling at me!
[It's a pleasant surprise, though. His previous shinki had completely lost her personality while she was a weapon, and while he'd liked her quite a bit, he hadn't liked that part.]
ren im not sure hibari constantly yelling in your head is a step up
WHY THE HELL DOES THAT MATTER. WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?! WHY AM I LIKE THIS?
[Thankfully (?), weapon Hibari had lost none of his charming personality.]
but the other way was sad :c if he can with kyou, he can live with this
Oh, I called your name! The name on your arm, I mean; I'm sure you have another name. I said you turn into something, didn't I? Well, this is it!
[Feel free to punch him for being so chipper about this once it's over, because he's already expecting it.]
I'm sorry for tricking you like that, but I didn't think you'd let me see it if you knew, and I really needed to know it.
hibaris more capable of injury tho
I am going to kill you once I have my body back. GIVE ME MY BODY BACK!
no subject
[It's a pretty hollow threat, though, because he was never planning to leave his shinki like this for long. He takes a few more seconds to look over the tonfas and marvel over Hibari still have emotions, and then speaks up again.]
I need your name. Your real name this time.
no subject
I will find a way and then I will kill you. I don't feel the need to give you any more information about me if THIS is what HAPPENS!
[He'd started lowkey cursing in both japanese and chinese in the back of his head.]
no subject
I need your name or I can't turn you back, Kumo-kun.
no subject
My name is not Kumo, it is Hibari Kyoya, and if I find you are lying, I WILL KILL YOU.
no subject
And even if it means he's probably going to have to immediately try to duck to avoid getting hit, he's not about to go back on his word. So he holds out his shinki and says the magic words.]
Hibari Kyoya, return please.
[Now to see how much Hibari is going to try to make him regret this whole series of decisions he's made these past few minutes.]
no subject
And he didn't waste any time once he got that human feeling back because he was already rushing at Ren, a blindingly fast punch directly to his face.]
no subject
Once upon a time, right after they became friends, Tetsu did try to teach him to defend himself the same way Ren had brought Tetsu into Vanguard. And while that effort had last maybe an hour because Ren didn't care for it and so he made it far too difficult for Tetsu to keep trying...
He does remember one thing from back then, which was to roll with the punch if possible. Which, in his usual fashion, results in him rolling with it into a full body twirl and then staggering off to the side.
What Tetsu hadn't told him was how much it hurt. Tetsu had made it seem easy, beating up eight guys and walking away with some bruises on his face. Ren has no idea how Tetsu could have thought this was fun for so long (granted, he hadn't like that fight with eight guys much, but still). It isn't even the fun sort of pain he and Aichi dealt each other through Psyqualia. This is just disorienting and awful and he's very glad his hair can shield the way he winces as he touches his face.
And whether he deserved it or not (he did), he's also very sure he doesn't want to let that happen again and also that Hibari probably isn't done yet.]
...Don't do that again.
no subject
It felt like a mistake. Even if he didn't know that, all of his emotional turmoil and anger was being communicated back to his god as he swung another fist.]
no subject
But it's also familiar and associated with a part of his life that he doesn't like, so working past it hasn't been such a big deal. It's that association that saves Hibari for the moment too, because as soon as he opens his mouth to say it, he's hit with another wave of that stupidly familiar feeling that he dislikes and shuts his mouth.
He still has to duck out of the way, because stopping himself definitely didn't stop Hibari, but this time he has enough warning that can do that.]
I don't want to force you, Kyoya-kun.
i never thought a hibari tag would hurt me
And there was a tide of emotions coming from him as his expression changed from the normal blank anger it always was, as a small seed appeared that was passed on before the cloud guardian charged forward-
fear.
fear-
He was disgusted. He was afraid.]
Don't you dare.
[Hibari growled as he swung another blow.]
no subject
But he's feeling it anyway, and when he watches Hibari run at him, it finally clicks. And it's a startling enough revelation that he isn't able to dodge in time but has to throw his arms up in front of his face instead. Hibari can hit those all he wants; he doesn't care.
They're Hibari's emotions. They probably have been the whole time. In fact, now that he's thought of it, it seems silly that he hadn't realized it before, given how he's been feeling all evening...although it had all been both so disconnected to how he was feeling and generally familiar otherwise that maybe it wasn't so odd that he hadn't recognized it for what it was.
...Hibari is that afraid of his threat. He doesn't like that. He still doesn't regret forcing him into that form in the first place, but he already wasn't keen on doing it again and now that he's realized he can feel just how much Hibari hated it...
Unfortunately, there is still the problem of Hibari attacking him and his not having much in the way of other options to get him to stop.]
Then stop hitting me!
im sorRY
His fist had slammed into Ren's arms, probably leaving a big bruise, but it didn't satisfy the emotions suddenly screaming within him. It was like it all cascaded down at once, with the realization of just what he was and just what Ren could do to him.
That's why he was barely listening to his god's protests and instead swumg his leg around to kick Ren flat in the chest.]
meee too
