28th of Arhat, Sharak Sanzo ☯ "Aditi" ([personal profile] bussounoshima) wrote in [community profile] thenearshore2016-11-09 05:57 pm

[Open]

Who: Sharak Sanzo and you
What: Hanging out in various places. Just come bother her.
When: May 14th, all day.
Where: The Near Shore- Tokyo and then Patna. Also temple Dionysius for Sanzo.
Warnings: #justsanzothings. Will update as needed. Guns and swearing, mostly.



A.
[So. Sharak's shinki really has a thing for flowers, it turns out. Sharak had just been exploring Tokyo, but as she walked past a garden nursery with a display of seeds out the front, she was reminded of that. Now she's paused outside the store, looking at a packet of chrysanthemum seeds in her hand with a critical eye. With her robes half hanging off her torso, a sutra over one shoulder and a furry tail tacked onto her ass, Sharak makes quite the attention grabbing figure even now.

... Muttered under her breath:]
Potatoes would be better.

[Sharak, no.]

B.
[There are, of course, shrines to Aditi in India. She's a Hindu goddess. So it shouldn't be odd that later in the day, when the city of Patna starts to cool down (comparatively speaking) that Sharak can be found strolling down the busy streets. She seems a little frustrated, despite her steady gate, looking around and weaving her way through the crowd. Eventually she gives up on this and makes her way to the river, jumping over a short wall to find a spot on the shore to sit. Staring out at the water, she absent-mindedly rummages through her robes to pull out a packet of cigarettes.]

Suppose it's a nice surprise even it's still here.

[This is not quite the city she remembers. Oh, well.]

---


[And then, eventually, Sharak decides that there needs to be a conference between Sanzos. Two of them specifically. She would have called on Sanzang's temple again, but Gojyo had said he was at his temple the other night, hadn't he? Well, she won't stop by too early, that would be rude after calling so late at night before. Instead she swings by the temple of Dionysaur at around ten past ten in the morning, let's herself in (like the very polite woman she is) and seeks Genjo out.]


C.
[Alternatively, wildcard for things we've discussed oocly that don't fit those two options.]

Speaking of chrysanthemums

[Normally, Guy has no real use for flowers--Mahakala's grounds only seem to tolerate certain living things, and flowers don't seem to be in that category--so most of the time he doesn't bother with gardening things. He just happens to be passing and notices her browsing. In fact, he seems to be the only one who really notices her, despite her attire, which seems unusual even for Tokyo.

He's not looming, but he's closer than someone might be if they were also just browsing the seeds.]


Edible, too.

[Hi Sharak.]

[The voice that comes from above is remarkably chill and seemingly unconcerned, despite what it actually says.]

If you're debating plants in various levels of edibility, I could give you a damn good argument for oranges over potatoes. Other than the one that's so fucking obvious it would cause me physical pain to point out.

[Davesprite wasn't really doing anything more than gliding by, but this woman stands out a hell of a lot, and it's hard not to make any response to a remark like that if he's in the vicinity. He's still in the air, though, one or two neon orange feathers dropping as the ghostly, birdlike figure circles casually above. Now that he's started sheathing his sword through himself regularly again, the blade glints in the sun, sticking out from his lower back and the handle coming out the front.]
existentialcrisis: (Statistically no one loves you.)

B for buddies pallin around with no animosity or bad feelings, probably

[ A crow has been watching her. It's been inconspicuous, staying mostly on the street, picking up crumbs and dodging pedestrians and bikes and stray dogs, but it's followed her steadily all the way to the river.

Ukoku appears out of thin air, just behind the wall. He hops over it and flops down next to her, making himself comfortable. He's in his priest robes, too, out of totally serious deference and respect for their shared station.
]

It's so different, isn't it? I like it.
existentialcrisis: The girl in the trunk won't stop screaming. (10am:Traffic is terrible.)

[ He responds with a perfectly innocent bewildered expression, not bothering to raise his hands. ]

Visiting! I have a shrine here too, you know. [ Not really; it's miles away, but whatever. He rummages in his own sleeve for a pack of cigarettes and a tacky paisley-print lighter, which he offers to her first. ]

So how are you settling in?

Better for what?

[Aya is focusing on the flowers. She likes flowers. There's a consistency about them that makes them comforting wherever you happen to be, and how much trouble can you find in a flower shop? Besides, she's been cooped up indoors feeling awful about everything for far too long. Some fresh air sounds like a good idea, and so if she's being entirely honest do new clothes.

[On reflection, she's not sure that the woman (oh wow she's really tall) was talking to her, but it's a bit late to take the words back now.]
somebodysdaughter: (raindrops keep falling)

[personal profile] somebodysdaughter 2016-11-11 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, do you like cooking?

[She supposes people can like all sorts of things. Maybe Aya wouldn't exactly look at a woman as... well, as cool as this one and immediately imagine her in the kitchen or weeding a herbaceous border, but even really cool people had to have hobbies. And temples, apparently, but it looked kind of like that could have applied to this woman wherever she was.

[She supposes she's curious, so she takes a quick look at what potatoes would be better than.]


I suppose chrysanthemum greens would be better if they were very fresh. But potatoes are probably more useful in a kitchen garden.
konobakazaru: (Uh. Um. F...uck.)

[From spending time with Sanzo, it's really, really easy to spot those robes even from a distance, and even when they're hanging off her waist instead of her shoulders. For a second, Goku has to do a double take. He didn't think Sanzo was out and about in a city like this. But the hair and the, uh. The chest. Yeah, that kind of gives it away that this is not Sanzo. And what's with the tail?

Still, it's rude to stare even if he's not being seen, so eventually he ends up kind of... not really sneaking his way over to get closer. And when something is mentioned about potatoes, he's pretty sure it's to him.]


H-huh? Potatoes?
fontechnician: (ehehe)

[personal profile] fontechnician 2016-11-11 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[He appreciates the hypothetical sentiment.]

Oh. That is a problem. I don't know much about chickens...all I can suggest is building a fence around the plants.

[Useless. He tried, though.]

Tokyo was a better place for him to hang out since some of the cherry blossoms had died down, and apparently he ran into people who seemed familiar. Kishi was hanging out in his jacket and Roll was buried in his nest-like hair as he lazily walked along the street, only to see familiar white and black robes.

And that sure as hell isn't Sanzo. Was it another of those fakes hanging around? Hakkai hadn't said anything about this-but there was only one way to find out.

A tonfa was being swung at her head, only to stop very short of actually hitting her if she didn't dodge. "Why the hell do you look like Sanzo?"
konobakazaru: (Maybe they'll feed me if I look cute...)

[personal profile] konobakazaru 2016-11-11 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah. Definitely not Sanzo. Or, well, definitely not his Sanzo. But he remembers Sanzo talking about other Sanzos...]

Oh. Y'mean instead of flowers? [He looks at the display for a second. There's all kinds of flowers and fruits and vegetables...]

Why not both? Flowers and food, I mean.
konobakazaru: (I heard you have shumai.)

[personal profile] konobakazaru 2016-11-11 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah. That makes sense. Goku's seen plenty of vegetable plants that have flowers. But more flowers are okay, too, right?

He tilts his head back at the seeds, then looks back up.]


Why didn't you bring your shinki with you, then? ... oh, wait, is it a surprise?
konobakazaru: (But where've the dumplings gone?)

[personal profile] konobakazaru 2016-11-11 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Potted plants. He's familiar with those, but they need sunlight, right? All plants need sunlight.]

I think they'd be good! I mean, I'm not your shinki, and I dunno what they like, but if you've got lots of windows it'll be fine, right?

[... wait. He's getting too caught up in this. Back on track, back on track.]

So, uh. Are you a Sanzo, too?
konobakazaru: (So when are we stopping for food?)

[personal profile] konobakazaru 2016-11-11 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Sharak...

[That's right, Sanzo had another name too, didn't he? Goku knows the position is really high-ranking, but he didn't know there were Sanzos that were girls.

Well. Scratch that. Sanzang is a girl.]


I'm Goku! Nice to meet ya! D'you know the one that's got blond hair and looks angry all the time?
