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~

P-powder puff??

[He totally has been helping properly and everything! Though...manual labor really doesn't seem to be his thing...]

Um, I wasn't laughing but...are you going to move this? [He points to a busted sofa.]

Hmmm?

[Oops, looks like another fellow joined him in clearing out this house, and he caught the light insult aimed at the spirits.]

No no, not you, you don't even resemble a powder puff.

[Nice hair, though.

Manual labor is the worst all the way around, everyone can agree.

That's why Joseph looks at the sofa he's been reminded of with a sidelong glance, like the damn thing stole his daughter, like it kicks puppies, or perhaps contains a deadly virus.]


...you know, it's a nice sofa, maybe it can stay.

I'm very glad to hear that... [Ahahaha...]

[Poor sofa, though. He can almost see it wilting under that glare.] Ah, are you sure? Might be a pain to clean under it later...

[Not that he's suggesting they do that, but as long as they're here, the owner of the house might want them to. It's probably really dusty, at least. But—]

But if you insist. By the way, who were you talking to?

[If the sofa were cleaner itself, it'd be a napping spot very soon. Though... he has slept on worse, he supposes.]

Maybe I'll do it later, if you'll help me out.

[For now he stretches out his sore muscles, peeks just over the other man's shoulders to see one of the little sprites zipping past a door frame. Seems they're still around, and now they're following behind another worker wearing a hardhat and diligently working at clearing a different room.]

Haven't you seen them? The little.... white fluffballs that float after all the workers, including myself earlier. They giggle.

Oh... I guess I just tuned them out. [Giggling included. He...supposes it's a good sign that he apparently used to be so surrounded by laughing that he's able to ignore it.]

They don't really get in the way. [He picks up a drawer from the floor, and watches as some of the sprites cluster on the handle like they're helping him push it back into the dresser.] Don't you think they're kind of cute?

[Watching them seemingly work together to get the drawer situated does make them seem kind of endearing. Ineffective, essentially, but endearing.]

A little. I wonder, do you think they're human spirits? Looks like they want to be helpful.

[One seems to flutter around his hand as he lifts an old photo frame off of the ground and onto the dresser.]

Would be better than the alternative, wouldn't it?

[Although that would be kind of...sad.]

They don't have to be human, do they? There are all kinds of spirits.

[He has no idea what led him to say that, but it sounds about right.]

The alternative being.. disruptive?

[He laughs at that.]

Yeah, these guys are better than that alternative. And I guess they don't have to be human. Animals like to stick around for their masters in life, so why not stick around after it too.

Any other spirits... well, I guess they'd just do what they do.
