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~

It's a good thing to know.

[ He digs into his pocket for his cigarettes, pauses, and puts them away again, given where they are and what's going on around them. He is super considerate. ]

I didn't get any prayers for this. Here I am anyway, but I don't know what I'd do if I did. I can't even help as much as you can, and living people have been getting to things ahead of me all day. In the end, you know, I think they rely on each other.

[ He's been affecting a kind of thoughtful serenity, watching two people help each other some distance away, and he breaks that now to slide a paperclip off the crate next to him and flick it at Tsuzuki. ]

So don't beat yourself up!
sweetdeath: (abuh?)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-11-26 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Tsuzuki flails a hand at the paperclip, misses it, and sits right down on the box of medical supplies behind him as the paperclip itself bounces off his nose. His knees are suddenly a little wobbly. So, maybe it's a good thing he is finally sitting down, after all.

He picks the paperclip off his lapel, and turns it over in his hands, looking up from it to Ukoku with a small, genuine smile.]


Yeah, they do. Mortals do a pretty good job.

... But gods are here to help out where they can't, though. If we're not, what's the point of us?
existentialcrisis: (Never forget who you are:)

[personal profile] existentialcrisis 2016-11-26 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ There are palatable answers for that, but he doesn't give them. He slides down his stack of crates to sit, also, watching an actual doctor talk to someone. ]

That's what I've been asking myself. I've gotten prayers before that I couldn't answer. I just don't have the kind of capability that people associate with gods.
sweetdeath: (my what a big **** you have)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-11-26 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Tsuzuki clasps his hands around the paperclip, looking up with a genuine, concerned frown.]

Maybe not the big names, but we're all still pretty minor gods here. I've seen your magic, remember? Even without your divine power, you're at least as good as I am.

[Has Ni been worrying about this all day? When he's a real doctor?]
existentialcrisis: (She looks dead. I'm thinkin lets bail.)

[personal profile] existentialcrisis 2016-11-26 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ukoku gives him a quizzical smile. He's actually seen what the sutra does, and he's still saying that. ]

I knew you were the god of sweets, but this is ridiculous.

[ Just kill him/run ]
sweetdeath: (not adding up)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-11-27 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
[He has seen what the sutra does. That power's almost certainly more than anything he could use, just in those few moments. It's destructive, sure, so it's not the sort of thing that's going to help them put things back together, but....

What does his being the god of sweets have to do with anything, though?

He blinks for several long seconds before he gets it and his bewildered expression dissolves into a grin.]


Hey, I'm not just saying that! You know, like... in a situation like this, if anyone were trapped in a collapsed building, you could get the debris off them, right? For example.
