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~

Ha, I guess you're right...

[True, Jae-Ha had dragged her on an avoid ayakashi adventure...and Zangetsu nearly got them both mauled by bat ayakashi...

She's actually been pretty lucky, all things considered.

But seeing Yukine walking off, she follows him, though she's not sure how he's going to find an ayakashi that's...harmless?

Then again, he can protect them both, with her god or no. His turn around had her bringing up her hands in surrender.]


Yes! I'll remember that. It might be a little hard...since Dio is nocturnal...but I'll try!

[Actually...something comes to mind as she follows Yukine in his search for ayakashi to borderline.]

What kind of payment would you like for this lesson? I could make you something.

[As in food, since she can cook.]

[personal profile] returnedfromtheline 2016-11-21 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Nocturnal...? He knows this one. Give him a sec.
...Her god only comes out at night? That's weird. But really rough. Really rough.

Yukine gives a little start at being offered something-]


Eh? I don't charge or anything... [It's nice to be asked though. He keeps his eyes to the ground as he asks,]

What kind of stuff do you make?
shockshot: (content)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-11-21 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah...it's a bit strange. She shrugs, clasping her hands behind her back.]

That's nice of you not to charge. I make all sorts of things. A lot of traditional Japanese meals-those are easy. Pasta, curries, au gaitens...I've learned you can find recipes on the internet too.

So I might try baking. Like...muffins.
returnedfromtheline: (/ flattery will get you nowhere)

[personal profile] returnedfromtheline 2016-11-21 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
... [All of that sounds so delicious.]

If you try making muffins, I don't mind taste testing them for you. But I won't hold back what I really think.

-Found one. [Yukine picks up his pace.]
shockshot: (oh rly)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-11-21 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
That's fair. That way I can make them better next time. What flavors do you-

[Oh, wait, ayakashi. She jogs after him. Where is it...?]
returnedfromtheline: (| shut up - working)

[personal profile] returnedfromtheline 2016-11-21 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Any flavour is fine.

[As he speaks Yukine bends down next to a bush that looks like it got ran over with a car. Shifting some branches he carefully puts the sleeve of his shirt over his hand and makes a grab for something.]

Ugggh- this is so gross every time I do it. [Grumbling that to himself under his breath he then stands up and turns to show her his catch- a tiny ayakashi that looks like it could have been a hamster.]


Here. This is our target.
shockshot: (midstep)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-11-22 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[She'll see about getting him some fruit muffins then, when she has a chance. But...she watches him, and notices how carefully he handles...whatever he's reaching for.

Masaki is a little taken aback.]


That's...an ayakashi?

[She stares.]

It's so small.
returnedfromtheline: (< hand off!)

Lesson time! (sorry...)

[personal profile] returnedfromtheline 2016-11-22 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
[The corner of his mouth still turned down in distaste he nods.]

Sure, this one is. Some are as big as a room. Or big as a house. It’s no less dangerous just because it’s small though. And it still blights the same. Geh.

[With a sound of distaste he drops the ayakashi. It squirms to its feet and hisses indignantly at Yukine. Ignoring it, Yukine continues,]

Making a borderline depends a lot on your frame of mind. You want to make a line to keep out what you want kept out. That’s why going against a real ayakashi is better. They’re revolting.
Make your hand into a shape like this- [He makes a loose fist, then points out his index and middle fingers,] then use it to draw the line.

Line!

[Although he doesn’t need to say the word anymore, he says it for her benefit as he draws a line in the air between himself and the ayakashi. The line becomes transcribed on the ground in light, and the ayakashi who had started approaching Yukine (in an attempt to bite his ankles? Hah.) bounces backwards from it.]

Most shinki take a long time to learn how to do it. You new shinki seem to catch on pretty quickly, but don’t worry if you can’t get it right away. Just keep practicing.
Want to try?

[He can let go of his borderline whenever she's ready.]
shockshot: (stop!)

time to get some learnin on

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-11-22 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
[She listens intently. She's seen them big and small but it's good to know that all of them are sadly the same potency. Or good? Who knew, but she was getting a better idea why he wanted her to not wander off by herself.

Still, she listened intently, watching him closely. A line...

Whoa. She leaned back a little, startled at the light, before she made to poke the air above the line on the ground.]


It...no, I think I can do this. Focus on what I want to keep out?

[Defence, not offence. She drops her hand, before taking in a deep breath.]

I'm ready.

[She's going to try her darnest to draw the borderline. It helps that Yukine here. Keeping him safe (laughable as it sounds) is great motivation.]
returnedfromtheline: (| start something)

yep yep!

[personal profile] returnedfromtheline 2016-11-22 11:17 am (UTC)(link)
[If she pokes at his line it will feel like poking a wall. It extends for some distance away from them, going by the light on the ground.

He nods. He'd feel pretty good as a teacher if she did get it on the first try, and she looks kind of confident. But, it's just fact that nearly no one gets it at first. Well, they'll see.]


Give it a shot.

[And the line vanishes. The little ayakashi is surprised that the resistance it had been meeting is gone, but refocuses on Yukine's ankles. (rawr.)]
shockshot: (don't even)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-11-22 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's pretty cool that it feels like a solid wall of air. And she might be able to make one too. They'll see.

Her fist tightens, and she takes in a deep breath. She just had to focus, and remember. No ayakashi is going to gnaw on Yukine's ankles on Masaki's watch! (Hopefully.)

She copies Yukine's previous motion, her expression determined.]


Line!

[It...almost seems to work. There's a flicker of power, she almost sees a light but...it didn't look a thing like Yukine's. Frustrated, Masaki huffs.]
Edited 2016-11-23 02:49 (UTC)
returnedfromtheline: (> get him!)

[personal profile] returnedfromtheline 2016-11-23 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[While keeping half an eye on the angry little ayakashi, he watches Masaki-san's attempt.

His eyes widen at the tiny flicker of light, and although it doesn't resolve into a line he turns towards her excitedly.]


Wow!

[He pauses for a beat to step further back from the ayakashi and draw another line against it. Don't interrupt, bitty thing.]

That was really good for a first try! Whatever you were thinking about, your mind is in the right place. Mmm. Yah. You just need to practice more.

[Having done it on his first try himself protag perks, he's not good at knowing what advice to offer other than that.]

When you get back, look up Kazuma-san. He can help you practice too.
shockshot: (fluff)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-11-23 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Her foul expression clears in the face of his excitement, and she blinks. She's bemused at first, but...she actually did well? She actually did well!]

I was thinking about keeping you safe, so I guess it was the right idea!

[Not that he needs her to do that. It's almost laughable, considering Yukine is her senior, and she's defending him from an ankle biter. But it's the thought that counts. ]

I'll give it another shot! [And more practice-but ah. Hearing the name mentioned has her brighten a bit.]

I've heard of him. Well...I heard he gives lessons, but that's it. What's Kazuma-san like?

[She's pretty sure he's nice, considering that he's offering these lessons to new shinki. Or so she hopes.]
returnedfromtheline: (| feeling like the adult here)

[personal profile] returnedfromtheline 2016-11-23 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Keep him safe? Pfft. That explains it. She's only just met him, it's 'just' a tiny ayakashi, and she saw him defend himself already. Well, despite that atmosphere she mustered that much.

At the question Yukine smiles shallowly. Perhaps there is a little pain behind the smile too...]


What he's like? Uh. He's a good teacher, but really harsh... yah. More or less that.

[That's simply what it boils down to.]
shockshot: (d'oh!)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-11-23 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's pretty sure he can defend himself far better then she can defend him but...well. It's the thought that counts, right?

Though she winces a little at his statement.]


Ah...that sounds...

[Sorry Yukine, she's trying to find a positive in this.]

But if it means you're well educated...

[She's not even buying that.]
returnedfromtheline: (> get him!)

[personal profile] returnedfromtheline 2016-11-25 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Yukine’s eyes go wide at that, and he nods.]
I am! He taught me a lot! And I’ll even best him next time! [He makes a determined pose before drooping a little again, the light leaving his eyes for a moment.]
...
I’m sure he’ll view someone like you with less contempt than he does me.
shockshot: (merp?)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-11-25 09:38 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you will! You'll do great!

[...wait. What?]

Why would he? You seem pretty cool to me.
returnedfromtheline: (> Hiyori the strict teacher)

[personal profile] returnedfromtheline 2016-11-25 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Yukine grins at that- 'Cool'!]

Heh. Thanks.
Don't worry about it though. It's not a big deal. [Sorry, he won't be elaborating on that.]

Anyway, did you want to take one more swipe at this thing? [Yukine points down at the tiny ayakashi, who has finally wised up (as much as a tiny ayakashi can) and started following the line.]
shockshot: (hmph)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-11-26 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
[She smiles, though she's a little...apprehensive what he means? Oh boy. What is she going to get herself into...

But that vanishes at the offer to try again. She stares down at the little ayakashi, and nods.]


Yes please. I want to do see if I can get it this time.

[Protection. Keep Yukine safe, keep her god and herself safe...she could feel something settle in her, and she felt far less nervous and grumpy. The ayakashi would always be on the other side because that's where she wanted it to be.]

Yeah. I think I will.
returnedfromtheline: (| you okay with that?)

[personal profile] returnedfromtheline 2016-11-26 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
'Kay.

[Yukine's line disappears and he takes a couple steps back.
The tiny ayakashi gives a tiny but ferocious squeak and runs towards him.]
shockshot: (uuuuuuuh)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-11-27 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh no you don't ayakashi. Masaki leans forward, and makes a swift cut in the air.]

Line!

[...that was a surprising flare. And there was a borderline but it was pretty weak, compared to Yukine's. Still.

It held against the pipsqueak, at least for a few moments.]


...I did it?
returnedfromtheline: (> get him!)

[personal profile] returnedfromtheline 2016-11-27 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Indeed, the borderline does hold against the tiny ayakashi for a moment!
The ayakashi flies head-first into it, bouncing back. By the time it quickly rights itself and takes another go at it the line fades away, but then it promptly runs into Yukine's line.]


Wow! You really did do it! [Yukine is having a very proud moment as a teacher.]

Way to go, Masaki-san! From here, I'm sure you'll quickly learn how to make it steady.

But for now, class is dismissed. [And Yukine sends a couple cutting borderlines at the ayakashi, sending it running in the opposite direction. As a parting shot he hits the thing, but of course it doesn't kill it.
Ah, he feels much better now though. Having one of those things around and not slicing at it is annoying.]
shockshot: (oh yah!)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-11-28 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, this is exciting! It doesn't last, but still! She bounces on her feet a little, excited that she was able to get this far.]

All thanks to you, Yukine-san! Thank you so much!

[She makes a sound when she sees the cutting borderlines. That must have been an advanced technique? But that was cool! She was feeling a little excited, but it was partially due to the implications of how she could...well.

Protect her god and others in the future.]
returnedfromtheline: (/ quit spying on my feelings then)

[personal profile] returnedfromtheline 2016-11-28 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yukine glances away from the glowing praise, feeling his cheeks warm a bit.]

You're welcome. ... Message me when you make muffins, 'kay?

[And turning back to her with a more stern expression he adds,]

And from now on choose a job that's around other shinki and your god! You just saw how badly even a tiny ayakashi wanted to get at me.
shockshot: (statement)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-11-30 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
[She didn't mean to make him blush but...ah well.]

I will!

[She nods and...well, she tilts her head.]

Okay but...that wasn't just because you were teasing it?
