010 | Relief and Rescue

Who: Everyone!
What: Cleanup and moral support
When: All day May 16
Where: Just outside of Tokyo
Summary: It's time to get rid of the mess that that demon made!



The attack by the demon recently has left the surrounding area in a very sorry state. Not only are some people still hospitalized or slowly recovering from the affects of the draining of their life force, but a lot of nasty accidents happened during the time that people were walking around like they were dead to the world. It's been attributed to an odd natural disaster, and many think it may have been an illness that caused it.

The Heavens have decided to send any available gods and shinki down to help out in the relief efforts. If they try hard enough, they should be easily seen for the times when they are helping people out, so it shouldn't be a problem.

On top of that, some new arrivals have suddenly appeared. Amaterasu has left them little handwritten notes pinned to their shirts:

'These people need your help! I'm sorry to throw you into things like this, but please do what you can.

☼ Amaterasu ☼'


And yes, she has doodled little suns next to her name.



Care

There are a lot of people who were left hurt because of the incident with the demon and they are still trying to recover from it. From broken bones all the way to mental trauma, these people have seen a lot of crazy stuff and they aren't feeling so hot. Any kind of care is viable, but you might also want to just be an errand-runner in order to help the qualified people who are already doing a pretty good job of helping these poor folks out.

Food

A fair number of homes and stores managed to get destroyed amidst everything going on with the demon, so there's a lot of work for the neighborhood to do in helping them out. Whether by helping to rebuild what has been broken or by just handing out some free food to the people who need it. Of course, you might also take some food for yourself. Hopefully you're not a horrible enough person to just steal from the homeless~

Literal Cleaning

And here's where the fun comes in. The buildings that need to be rebuilt and the streets that need to be cleaned up are all under works and you can help in any way you deem worthy. You might carry loads or actually put forth the effort to help rebuild some lost homes, it's up to you. Of course, if you set about helping out in this way, you might notice little fairy-like spirits flitting around each of the Near Shore residents who are working hard to help each other out. The little spirits shine brightly and seem to shy away if approached, but they titter happily anytime the person they're following does something nice.

Banquet

After the day is done, the Heavens have a special treat set up for anyone who helped out - a large banquet in the Meeting Hall back on the Far Shore. Just like any other banquet, there is food and booze of every kind available. But also, the small tittering bright white spirits are in attendance, following around any Far Shore resident who helped out today. You might find yourself with a new friend or two who won't leave you alone, who keep giggling anytime you're kind, and who don't seem to be able to talk and only exude delight and good feelings.



In Summary:
  • Help out the people affected by the demon
  • Give out food to people who need it
  • Clean up the messes
  • Eat some good food, drink some good booze
  • Have fun~

[Zeno just chuckles, holding up a shishkabob to tempt the little ghosties further away.]

Of course it did! Out of sight, out of mind~

Usually, other people can't see little spirits like this. Zeno wonders who or what they are.

[Sora blinks, watching the little pixie things flutter about the shishkabob.]

Yeah I wonder where they came from! I mean, they're really nice though.

[A pause.] Zeno? Oh, you're Zeno! It's nice to meet you!
eternalshield: (dinner)

Always nice to meet someone...! There's enough people here, Zeno despairs of meeting them all, especially with all the comings and the goings.

[He pulls a piece of green pepper off his skewer, though, to tempt them. C'mon closer... He wants to question you.]

Today must have been different, if they've never come out before.

[It's nice to meet Zeno in person finally. Especially after he embarrassed himself with the whole third person thing.]

I'd say... With how many people have gone poof, we need to stick together more than ever.

[One of the fairies look intrigued and starts to flutter over. But she hesitates a bit, making a little chiming noise.]

They're neat, huh? Have you've seen anything like them before?

eternalshield: (we got this)

[personal profile] eternalshield 2016-11-20 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Anything like them? [Zeno echoes thoughtfully. As a matter of fact, with Kija here now...]

Zeno sees all kinds of things. Always have!

[And down Zeno sets a small plate, leaving the food there, and turning his full attention Sora. Trying not to make the fairy more self-conscious; bird-watching tip he picked up from a friend long ago.]

Oh, but Zeno wouldn't want to scare you.

[A sparkle of curiosity lights in Sora's eyes.]

All kinds of things? Like what? I won't be scared!

[Sora has seen things in his life. A lot of bizarre and strange things. He hardly doubts much would scare him these days!]
eternalshield: (big bro little bro)

[Zeno's hands clap together in front of him. That kind of curious sparkle just lights him up in return. Curious kids are so cute.

...granted, now he wants to see if he can scare him, but... well, he won't start off that way.]


People's feelings are powerful! The things they wanted to do but couldn't, they might... stay, you know?

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2016-11-23 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Give it all you got, Zeno. Sora's an honorary resident of Halloweentown. Spoilers: he does spook easy at some things.

Sora just looks more curious. Oh gosh.]


What do you mean by that? Stay?
eternalshield: (decision made)

[personal profile] eternalshield 2016-11-25 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
Well... imagine there was something you dreamed of, every day, all your life... all the way to the end of it.

[He settles back into his seat, looking around for something to drink...]

Wouldn't you feel... sad, maybe angry, if you made it so far, only to never realize that dream?
oathkeeper: ??? (☾18)

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2016-11-26 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Sounds kinda cryptic. Sora tilts his head and wonders.]

... One of those dreams that feels so real but really isn't? Yeah I've had those before... I guess it is really sad sometimes. Especially if it's a good dream.
eternalshield: (new arc new look)

[personal profile] eternalshield 2016-11-30 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. Especially when it's an achievable one. One you were told all your life about, and all your ancestors before you dreamed of it, too.

[He pauses to take a drink.]

Well, what happens to those desires, when the person dies?
oathkeeper: <user name=lardcookies site=livejournal.com> (☾9)

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2016-12-02 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, umm...

[Sora doesn't know how to answer. If someone had achievable believable dreams... and then one day they die...]

... They disappears too? That sounds kind of sad. Kind of like a shinki forgetting...

eternalshield: (the problem with cherry blossoms)

[personal profile] eternalshield 2016-12-03 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Do they, though? Can a desire that powerful... ever disappear?

[Zeno's smile remains serene. Utterly unaffected.]

Especially when it's a shared dream. When so many others who lived and died in the same space... when they're followed by someone who dreamed the same thing... what else could they do? They have to stay, and see it through.

[Wow Zeno, that's deep.]

I think I get it. A dream or something that was bigger than themselves isn't something that people can forget. Like a goal a whole group knows? I think you're right. There's no way anyone would forget that feeling of wanting to achieve it.

Do you have a feeling like that, Zeno?
eternalshield: (my face is broken)

[personal profile] eternalshield 2016-12-08 10:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Zeno shakes his head.]

Zeno's been around, that's all! Zeno sees and hears things. Sometimes things that stick around long after you thought they were gone.
oathkeeper: ??? (☾18)

[Sora smiles warmly. He likes Zeno, he has an interesting way of telling stories and Sora could probably listen to him talk for a long time.]

Makes you kind of wanna start writing a journal, doesn't it?
eternalshield: (not laughing with you)

[personal profile] eternalshield 2016-12-11 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
No. Not at all!

[What would he do with it? Zeno laughs at the very thought.]

Zeno would have to carry it everywhere he goes! Zeno's stayed in one place since coming here, but before that? No.
