Konzen +

[bon_bon]

Sanzo

[bon_bon]

[ from here ]

..........

[ ....????

Konzen isn't sure what he just heard coming out of his mouth. A thanks? But not really? It seems pretty clear to him at first, but then Genjo denies thanking him. It's just like the time he admitted he was in pain and that he should talk about it, but insisted on ignoring the problem instead. There's a thing that's obvious, but he'll pretend that it's not. Why is he like this?

Though he supposes that if their roles had been reversed, Konzen might have objected to expressing thanks, too. Explicitly, anyway. ]

Hn.

[ Okay, so that's a response. It counts. His expression isn't as perplexed anymore, but maybe something akin to understanding. ]

That was some spell you had there.

[ So yeah, maybe also a thank you / not-thank you. ]

Lightning

[savioring]

Patchy

[savioring]

[OOC: thread from here.]


That... sounds a little extreme. I'll pass for now.

[Why would someone need to be able to do something like that?]

Tsuzuki

[sweetdeath]

[sweetdeath]

[[from here]]

I could get plenty of first dates! The problem is in talking them into the second and third.

[Which: okay, he's lost more work partners than romantic partners, but that's mostly because work partners get assigned to him every time the old one scores a transfer. Also, because workplace relationships are complicated and shinigami/mortal relationships are worse.

And because people he falls for --

He's thinking about Hisoka again and he was trying not to do that. Tsuzuki summons up a joking smile, crossing his arms behind his head.]

But hey, if you know anybody who likes really old men, introduce me!

Hijikata

[koukai_kirai]

+ Gojyo

[koukai_kirai]

[OOC: Continued from here!]

[He's not really the happy-go-lucky type, but there's something about this guy's energetic cheer that's a little bit infectious. Between that, the flowers, and the new lease on life that... well, dying has given him, Hijikata finds himself feeling... oddly young. For a moment, he feels almost like he did with his friends when they were back at the Shieikan, swapping half-true dirty stories late into the summer nights, when they were young and stupid and unapologetic.]

[It hurts to think about them, a little bit, but... it's nice, all the same, to feel like that again.]

Hah... met a few of those. Must have wanted to keep their lives from getting too boring on them.

Shun

[revolutionfalcon]

Fubuki

[revolutionfalcon]

[[Previous thread.]]

Think what you like. [It is a little sad, and even he knows that. But the choice had never been his, when the choice was to be like this or die.

Given Fubuki looks like he can barely stand up right now, Shun can't help but level him with a rather skeptical glance at the offer. Still, an extra lookout isn't something he passes up lightly.]

Aside from the obvious ayakashi or things we'll see coming, we should probably be keeping an eye on how badly people are getting affected by this scent. You still look mostly passable, but it doesn't look like everyone's taking it as well, and if they get too bad we should probably get them away from the trees.

Ludger & Add

[soindebt]

[ooc: thread from here]

Unbelievable...

[How is a mechanical arm important? Is Add making it for someone? Or is it just another mechanical device that Ludger hopes doesn't clutter the temple by being thrown out and about somewhere? And just what is Add doing to that poor Roomba... And even if Ludger wanted to take a day off, there'd be something to stop him. Namely two men named Add and Jakob.

Ludger feels the weight against him. He is nota crutch for you, Add. Remember that day Ludger carried you up the stairs like a sack of potatoes? It's happening again. But this time he's not going to put you down nicely. He's going to drop you. At least now the two of them are over by the treeline. Fresh air is sorely needed.]

[subtract]

[All of Add's projects are equally important! And maybe Rin likes his upgrades! Assuming Rin is capable of forming an opinion, anyway...

Everything was going so nicely(?) up until Ludger decides to pick Add up and drop him on the ground. He whines like an irritable cat, immediately making a face and trying to dust himself off after his rough landing. There's no way he's standing back up until some of this drunkenness wears off.

But he's not going to let Ludger walk away a victor this time, oh no. Being close to the ground also puts Add in the perfect position to take his revenge. He makes a grab for one of his legs, aiming to drag the other man down with him.

Ludger obviously works too much. He needs a break! Add is doing him a favour here!!]

Sonic + Sheryl

[mybadhabit]

[From here!]

I suppose that means I'm stopping to buy some truffles on the way home. [He sighs heavily, as if it's such a terrible hardship] Kurama has spoiled him by giving him tubers all the time, I fear he won't accept anything else.

[That is an exaggeration: Kurama has only fed Ino tubers once or twice. Sonic is the one spoiling the piglet]

[He tips his head as he gives Sheryl a small, fond smile, but the warmth on his face is fleeting. As soon as the smile reach his eyes, his expression drops back to neutral, and he looks forward, head slightly tilted downward. What would Sheryl do if she caught him showing any sign of softness?]

[Scold him for covering it up or tease him, most likely. Ahhh, what to do with a woman like Sheryl?]

Have you been through the cherry blossoms, yet?

[galactically]

Tubers?

[Her eyebrows hike up in confusion, eyes widening like an owl's. Now that's a term Sheryl hasn't heard in, well... hardly ever. This is what happens when she comes from a space fleet where plant life is virtually nonexistent. She didn't even know what a cucumber was until Grace had to explain it to her.

Her expression fades into faint amusement upon seeing his face either way, a furtive smirk tugging at her lips before she glances ahead. For once she won't mention it out loud, opting to focus on the cherry blossom petals scattering around their feet instead.]

I did! [A small laugh.] Galaxy doesn't have anything like this, so it's great to even touch these. They're actually real!

Hakkai

[reformedsinner]

+ Fuujin

[reformedsinner]

[[from here!]]

[Hakkai casually lets his hand fall to his side, expression going as still as the air as Fuujin walks past him.

What a charming person. He does enjoy having a relationship made clear.]

Is that what you did to Elsa?

[Directness for directness.]

Davesprite

[redotiertwo]

Amaterasu

[redotiertwo]

[[Previous thread.]]

[Whoops. He'd been focused on the fire more than the actual person he was looking out for here, but as soon as he notices that it's a little kid with the bucket, his serious look softens very slightly.

Tipping his own cooler upside-down as if to demonstrate the lack of water in it, he flicks his tail-tip wisp in the direction of the forest.]

I dunno about the water coming soon, but if you need a ride to the river to fill up and know how to hold on, I can offer you first-class seating on Sprite Air.

[Which is still pretty crap and mostly involves piggybacking a flying sprite, but you know.]

Roxas & Joshua

[missingache]

[ooc: thread from here.]

So like actual jellyfish? Is that how they erase you?

[Yes, but kraken have rows of giant, gnashing teeth that lead into a cavernous maw. He'll take tons of jellyfish tentacles over that. At least strangulation is a better way to die.]

[leggierissimo]

Noise jellyfish. And yes, if you're overwhelmed, you get erased. They don't just paralyze, they attack too.

[As annoying as the mammoths and bears can be, the smallest ones are sometimes more annoying. Especially when your existence is on the line.]

Lilka

[fizzipocus]

Sora

[fizzipocus]

[From here!]

[Unfortunately, since she didn't know any better, she was just assuming that the heavens were throwing a party for more altruistic reasons. Oh dear.]

It's Lilka! I'm a new shinki, but I guess you knew that already...

Jae-Ha

[razzledazzles]

+ Keito

[razzledazzles]

[From here.]

Something like that. [Jae-Ha laughs a little even as he helps Keito wobble all the way down to his sitting position. Good. Now there can be no falling over or losing glasses.] When I taste it, it makes me feel something fond, similar to how you'd feel when having a nice memory. But there are no images at all.

Yoruichi

[skyleopardess]

Gojyo

[skyleopardess]

[Yoruichi considers that a moment, pursing her lips.]

You think so? [She doesn't sound all that concerned as she slumps comfortably into his shoulder. She's never needed much reason to treat her friends like furniture.] I've been poisoned before, it didn't feel like this.

Ross

[shiitan]

Arikado

[shiitan]

[from here!]

M'fine. [Of course, he wasn't fine at all, but that was the answer he was going with. He started trying to steady himself as soon as he realized what Arikado was doing, too.

Keyword here being "trying."]

Nagi +

[cyberfly]

Tot

[cyberfly]

[ ooc: from here ]

Something happy...?

[ Dancing isn't something that really comes naturally to Nagi. He can't say he understands the urge to do it. Or to dance until you fall down. But somehow, it makes sense to him, if she finds the cherry blossoms a happy memory. Nagi doesn't have any memories, happy or sad. He thinks that maybe he never had any moments like that, if only because he hasn't experienced anything like it here. Yet.

He wonders what it feels like, for the first time. He glances at the flower petals and they begin to rise, like rainfall but in the opposite direction. They float around for a little bit before he makes them spin, revolving slowly at first, and gradually faster, like a pink whirlwind that circles around them. ]

Add

[subtract]

Sheryl

[subtract]

((PREVIOUSLY))

[Ugh, damnit, he can't tell what's happening if she just covers it up like that...! But he's not too surprised to see bare skin. The device could be small enough to fit on a suit underneath the fabric, or maybe it's projecting an image of bare skin now. He'll need more data to be sure. Watching can only tell him so much.

He snaps back to attention from his thoughts when she makes another announcement. Another concert would be useful for his research for sure, but the next words to come out of her mouth seal the deal—

A special effects extravaganza.

Ah... perhaps an even more elaborate display of her technology?! If he can prepare for it in advance, he'll be able to gather much more data. Not only that, but if it's a chance to infiltrate her temple... he might even be able to take some of her technology home for proper study. Or take some of the technology hostage to get even more information out of her!

It's the perfect chance. He'll definitely be able to make her regret turning him down before...!

And so, while the rest of the crowd is cheering, Add is... cackling to himself like a psychotic weirdo, completely oblivious to his own surroundings.

This is, uh. Normal?]

Tenpou

[blossomstorm]

Fuujin

[blossomstorm]

[ From here!

. . . Well then. He tried! ]

Ahhh, is that so. I'll rephrase my question, then. Are you deliberately trying to antagonize people?

Nephenee +

[mylanceisbiggerthanyours]

Amaterasu

[mylanceisbiggerthanyours]

[From here]

[Ngh. Nephenee has a look of hesitance crossing her face for a moment. She loves kids and is scared she'd get hurt...but something about the girl reminds of her Sanaki...so she nods. If nothing else, it makes it easier to keep her safe.]

Alright...but stay close, alright? Here.

[She pulls a red neckerchief out of her armor, dips it in her water, and wrings it out, before handing it to Ammy.]

Put this over your nose an' mouth, alright? It'll help keep the smoke from gettin' in ya.

Sheryl

[galactically]

feat. Patchouli

[galactically]

(Continued from here!)

[And thus, Patchouli gets a quick nod of acknowledgement.]

Don't worry. I have plenty of time in the world for that.

Makoto+

[thekillerwhale]

Nagisa

[thekillerwhale]

[Continuing from here]

I think if he turned into a dolphin, it would have been fitting, too since he eats so much of it.

[He laughs lightly]

I would really like that, Nagisa. I think you'd be able to cheer Haru up, too.

Kensei Mugruma

[kissthegoddamncook]

[If you want to start any new threads]

Yoruichi + Zangetsu

[kissthegoddamncook]

[From here]

[Kensei mumbles something about not knowing why a Hollow would be up here, but he knows he's going to get ignored. He grumbles and holds his knife tightly in his hand in case something goes wrong.

Which it probably will.

He looks towards Yoruichi.]

Yoruichi. What the hell is going on?

shouto

[icyhot]

izuku

[icyhot]

[ cont.

Technically no one in his family had to cook, considering Endeavor's rank in the hero community even before Shouto was born. But the idea of spending time in the kitchen...

Even if he doesn't think he can cook, he likes the sound of that. Being with someone while they do it, trying to help... he doesn't know why. ]

Sure. I don't see why not.

souji

[socials]

...souji

[socials]

[ cont.

Even if it's minute, the fact he relaxes is a relief to him, too. This is a stressful situation, and he'd been coughing so badly, it was really worrying him. This, this is much better, and gives him some hope for finding the other god somewhere amidst all this. So he doesn't let go of Souji, giving his hand another squeeze and letting the other move to between his shoulders. Support and reassurance. ]

He sounds like a good person. [ Keep talking about this, make everything normal. ] And shouldn't be hard to find - my uncle is like that. You'd be able to spot him anywhere in a chaotic area, bringing everyone in and keeping things together.

Honoka

[purehonkproject]

Amaterasu

[purehonkproject]

[From here!

She rushes to pick up two buckets and fill them with water herself.]

Let's go!

Aymeric

[onedrinkwithme]

Sheryl

[onedrinkwithme]

(From here)

[Oh...that look is a sad one.]

A dear friend of yours?
