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~

[...Technically, both of those things can be accurate, and a slight grimace crosses Shun's face before he actually answers that question.]

You'll be assigned to one first, which is more like the Heavens forcing you onto each other. If your god is decent and you don't work well together anyway or something else happens, you can ask them to release you and search for another god to take you in. Others might force you to stay in their service.

[There's a touch of disgust in his tone at that, but he's heard of it happening before and he'd suspected there'd be gods like that from the very start, so it was never a surprise to him.]

One or two of the older gods are decent as well, but it's still a minority.

[ As creepy as it sounds, Ichiru is studying the other's expressions as he answers his inquisitions. It seems like there are many people here who are displeased with how things seem to be running. He wonders how long this sort of imprisonment will last. ]

What a brash way to do things.

[ He states simply and leaves it at that. Of course there is no way he's willing to be forced to be someone's weapon but it sounds like he can't stop it. Also, this thought of negotiating with Gods in order to be released seems very troublesome to him. ]

I wonder if they ever will set a good example for the other gods with there manners?

[Well, he's not wrong, but he's also being a little less crass about it than Shun generally is, and a faint snort comes in reply. It's hard to tell if it's actually amusement given how dry the entire reaction is, though.]

That's not the word I'd use.

[As for manners, that's not really his concern, though he gets the impression that the term is standing in for something a bit more important here.]

I couldn't care less about "manners" if they start running this place competently, but I doubt we're going to get either of those things anytime soon.

[ Ichiru listens quietly to the reactions and the words that the other continues to speak. Needless to say, he feels like he probably will feel something similar in the future. After all, it's only his first day and nothing too terribly happened. ]

What words would you use instead?

Doesn't seem like anyone will get what they want whether it's competence or not. I wonder if it they're just bored.

Stupid. Incompetent. They might be as unprepared for our arrival as we are ourselves, but letting the bonds between a god and shinki form naturally would at least put more people at ease than forcing them.

[It's pretty clear from his tone that he's thought about this sort of thing a lot, and he's certainly had the time to with how long he's been here. While he knows the higher-ups have had other things to deal with, they've also had months to do something about how arrivals are handled.]

They're overrun, more like. They're dealing with this on top of an uprising from another area, and it's clear they don't have experience with this kind of upheaval on all fronts.

I suppose I can disagree with those words. If it was that simple, we wouldn't all have this problem now would we?

[ Logically speaking, all of this would have been really smooth if it were to go the way they all wanted it. Unfortunately, that was obviously not the case. It did come off that way since Ichiru is listening seriously so he could learn more about people here in this new place. ]

Such as those who are in over their heads I assume. How troublesome for them but I can't say I feel bad for them.

It's never that simple. With a place that has rules as longstanding and complex as this place seems to, that only becomes more true.

[Not that he sounds particularly impressed by those old and longstanding rules. Things like that, in his experience, tend to backfire more often than they do anyone any good, and in this place's case it definitely looks like they've been backfiring. Even if some of the rules have grounds he hadn't known until very recently.

Turning his head slightly, Shun shrugs his shoulders a little at that observation.]


Feeling bad for them doesn't do them any good, even if some of them are worth the sentiment.

Indeed it does.

[ There's no real reason for him to argue the lather. He very much agrees with the statement in his own way. Rules and laws were meant to be broken. He knew that and it's not like he would be the law abiding citizen here. He's not going to be tied by laws even if he'll get reprimanded for it in the future. ]

One can only hope that they'll reconsider their actions. It's hard to tell who is worth the sentiment or not. I suppose I'll have to watch them closely.
revolutionfalcon: (about time)

[personal profile] revolutionfalcon 2017-01-04 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
Watching them closely is a good idea anyway, especially for someone new.

[In any case, though, they seem to have settled that particular aspect of the conversation, and Shun nods back towards the humans over the other side of the clearing.]

I'll be getting them over here to start building these properly. I'm not going to keep you if you have somewhere else to be.

[Of course, Shun expects that it'll be somewhere else in the relief efforts regardless, but in any case he doesn't see their talk going much further than this.]

Perhaps, I'll find my own answers that way.

[ He shrugs some. He nods his head, since there isn't much for him to say beyond that. He can't imagine getting too familiar with people at this point. It's better to maintain the distance that he has right now. ]

Alright. I appreciate the time you have given me.

[ he politely replies as he turns. ] I suppose I'll be on my way.

[ Hes not expecting to do much after this but hey, he did help to some extent even though he didn't like it as much. ]

Bye, Bye.
