[ ooc: from here ]

picnic

[ And then there's another guy doing the same thing (sort of). What's with these people? It's not like you have to pay for the food. It seems a bit pointless to take a bunch of free food, and then give it away. The banquet tables haven't run out of food, yet.

Nagi of course, hasn't touched anything here. He's not that desperate. He pauses when this random person offers the box to him. ]


...no.

[ he answers bluntly, not smiling back. ]

Why don't you just throw it away?

[Izumo isn't fazed at all, letting out a small hum as he pulls back the box of sweets.]

It'd be a waste to throw it away.
cyberfly: (looking up)

[personal profile] cyberfly 2016-09-26 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ Not if they're poisoned, Nagi would say. But there's no point in spreading unnecessary rumors, especially one that's not really substantiated. People don't seem to be developing blight at this picnic yet, so the food is probably not contaminated. ]

Save it for later, then.

[ He shrugs. Seems like the obvious thing to do. ]
toremainbehind: ([01] This life that we call on our own)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2016-09-26 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[He raises an eyebrow, though he decides not to say more on the matter.]

Have you tried enjoying anything around here yet? [Whether it's the performances or the cherry blossoms. Izumo's just curious if this person is always like this.]
cyberfly: (orly)

[personal profile] cyberfly 2016-09-27 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Enjoying...?

[ It's not exactly how he'd describe picnics, but Nagi supposes that these things are supposed to be enjoyed by people. Even picnics that are held so close in succession to a massacre. ]

Not really.

[ Maybe he should pretend to blend and be festive, in but that feels unnecessarily tedious. ]

What about you?
toremainbehind: ([39] Are you still there?)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2016-09-29 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[He hums.]

Not the festive type, then?

[But at the question, Izumo does give a light shrug, a smile on his face.]

The only thing I've tried so far was the food.
cyberfly: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] cyberfly 2016-09-30 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
I guess you missed the massacre.

[ Or maybe he didn't. Nagi thinks that even a normally festive type person would find it difficult to party so soon after what went down last week. But then again, maybe people are more forgetful (or resilient?) than he gives them credit for. ]
toremainbehind: ([28] Will you fight or will you walk awa)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2016-10-03 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
[At the mention of the massacre, Izumo's expression changes briefly as he tries to recall it.

But then he does and the smile comes back, if only slight.]


Does that type of thing happen often?
cyberfly: (orly)

[personal profile] cyberfly 2016-10-05 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Not like that.

[ As far as he knows, anyway. He hasn't been around for that long. A month. The cherry blossoms were still blooming when he arrived.

He stares at the smile, wondering what it means. ]


Do you know something about it?
toremainbehind: ([04] It trembles ceaselessly)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2016-10-06 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
So it was just a random occurrence?

[But he does shrug, the smile dropping.]

No, not at all.
cyberfly: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] cyberfly 2016-10-12 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ He knows nothing. Well, he supposes that's not too surprising. The heavens keep things close to the vest. ]

It was deliberate. That's all I know.

[ So no, not random. But not necessarily part of some masterplan. Susano'o might've just been a weird chaotic fluke. ]
toremainbehind: ([23] How long can you stand the pain?)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2016-10-12 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[So it had been planned accordingly, though Izumo is a bit relieved he hasn't been caught in the weird crossfire of it.

Something just didn't seem right, though.]


Odd then for an event like this to take place after something like that.
cyberfly: (Default)

[personal profile] cyberfly 2016-10-17 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's probably a smokescreen. Something to placate the masses and make them forget the bloody mess and overall incompetence of the people in charge. Nagi is not so easily fooled, though. ]

It's happened before.

[ A picnic after a big mess. ]
toremainbehind: ([08] It flickers into night)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2016-10-19 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Izumo frowns slightly.]

So it's natural for them to try to cover something up if the event is catastrophic enough.
cyberfly: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] cyberfly 2016-10-22 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think they need to try that hard.

[ He snorts a little. ]

People here forget without much effort. Maybe it's a Far Shore thing.
toremainbehind: ([04] It trembles ceaselessly)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2016-10-23 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[He hums.]

It's easy to get distracted.

[A pause.]

But you don't seem too thrilled to be here.
cyberfly: (looking up)

[personal profile] cyberfly 2016-10-26 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ Distracted. Maybe that's one way to put it... He shrugs. ]

I don't really have a choice. I'm a shinki.

[ It's either this or not exist. Nagi doesn't believe in the afterlife. ]

Which one are you?
toremainbehind: ([47] Will you hide)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2016-10-27 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a shinki as well.
cyberfly: (irritated)

[personal profile] cyberfly 2016-10-28 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
And how do you feel? About being here, I mean.

[ Since it seems obvious to him that Nagi isn't 'thrilled' to be here. Though truthfully, can Nagi look any other way but not thrilled, ever? ]
toremainbehind: ([31] Let it burn?)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2016-11-01 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Izumo doesn't answer right away as he mulls it over.

How does he feel? Happy? Sad?

He's not sure.]


Well, I'll be honest and say I'm not exactly thrilled to be here, but I'll make do with what I can. [Adapt, in other words.]
cyberfly: (orly)

[personal profile] cyberfly 2016-11-04 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ It sounds honest enough. He's not sure whether the gods in charge expected shinki to be thankful to be alive at all. Fortunately for Nagi, his own god doesn't treat him like some kind of a servant. ]

What's your god like...?
toremainbehind: ([63] And the synagogue of the ear of cor)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2016-11-04 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Izumo doesn't answer for a moment before he smiles.]

I can't be sure yet. I've just met him, but he seems to be a pleasant person. [A beat later.]

What about your god?
cyberfly: (irritated)

[personal profile] cyberfly 2016-11-07 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Compared to others anyway, Omi is competent enough. ]

He seems to understand people enough.

[ By which he means, better than Nagi. Maybe that's why he understood the whole point of prayers. ]
toremainbehind: ([14] These dreams like ashes float away)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2016-11-07 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't that fortunate then?
cyberfly: (deep thought)

[personal profile] cyberfly 2016-11-15 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe.

[ He's pretty sure though, that Omi doesn't understand Nagi. ]

I guess that's supposed to be my job. [ As a shinki, anyway. Being closer to humanity and morality. It didn't quite work out that way. ]
