010 | Relief and Rescue

[godsoffortune]

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~

[That's certainly a more interesting question. Hijikata glances at the patient, but they seem to have totally zoned out and aren't paying any attention to their conversation.]

[Even with their arm still extended for him to tend to the wounds.]

[This really is bizarre, sometimes.]

Once or twice. What about it?

[existentialcrisis]

[ He's ignoring Hijikata's patient, too—not that he'd be bothered if they suddenly started paying attention. ]

"Once or twice" is pretty good. I've kind of dealt with Suijin, but only by proxy. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping I'd get to meet her. Who were they, if you don't mind?

[koukai_kirai]

[He certainly seems to be particularly interested in that topic -- which isn't necessarily that odd, given what they chatted about the last time, but he's a little bit warier now than he was before about other people's potential motives for getting to know more about the gods.]

[Still, that much doesn't seem like too much to tell someone. He shrugs a little, taking a clean bandage and gauze pad out of their packaging and beginning to wrap up the patient's wound.]

Suijin and I have spoken a couple of times. I talked with Amaterasu once, twice if it still counts when it was only for a moment and I didn't know who she was.

[existentialcrisis]

[ Ukoku nods absently, as if that's about what he expected, scratching his cheek. ]

Can I ask you if Suijin seemed—how should I put this?

[ He's watching Hijikata's progress on the bandages with mild professional interest, making automatic little inferences about how practiced he is, how quickly or precisely he works. ]

Do you think Amaterasu really runs things?
