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~

People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people. It's the same sort of idea, right?

[The more she listens to him the more she wishes she could remember her life, to discuss the things she thought or values she had--but she could barely understand where they came from to begin with. And--]

I wish... [She cuts herself off and stares down at her hands, sighing softly.] You sound like a wonderful god, and a wonderful leader... That kind of conviction can't come from nowhere, after all.

Ideally, I'd like to see both of them have respect for each other, but... it's the same sort of thing, yes.

[I wish...]

["I wish" what, exactly? He watches her carefully for a moment, instinctively not liking the way she... held herself back there.]


As for where the conviction came from... When I was human, I saw plenty of powerful people who liked to show off and be respected, but didn't do much worth respecting. Who liked to brag about what they had, when they never used it for anything that was any damn good to anyone but themselves.

[He shrugs, and takes a sip of his drink.]

Never liked those sorts. Always knew I could do their jobs better than them, and spent half my life proving it.

[The irony isn't lost on him -- that as the old government toppled down, one of the last men standing to defend it was an upstart peasant-turned-samurai like him, who'd had to struggle for every scrap of respect the old higher-ups had ever given him.]

[But he stands by what he's always believed -- that power confers a duty to use it well, that accepting something so great as someone's loyalty leaves you in their debt as much as they could ever be in yours. Whatever he's regretted in life, he grew up believing that and believed it to the end, and he doesn't think he's wrong about it now, either.]
