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~

[Well now Roxas can be that close whenever he wants to. He bites his lip and looks away.] Her name's Shiro... And even though I still like her a lot-[He turns back to Sora with a smile]-The feeling is way more than like with you. And I liked you even back then!

[He grumbles softly.] Let's have a less wet date next time.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora returns the smile and leans in to kiss Roxas.] I know, you don't have to remind me. You really should have said something to me if you like me then, though!

[Sora would never make Roxas forget about how he feels about her, he'd never make him deal with that kind of turmoil. Feeling are feelings and they should all be important. He just didn't think there was enough room for him too, back then.

He's glad there is. He grins.] Nothing tops dolphins, but okay.

[missingache]

[They're gonna be kissing a lot more, aren't they. Roxas sighs softly.] With how you reacted to the pocky thing and then that list of nice things you told me when half asleep... I kind of doubted you liked me. It was more like... You were confused about what you liked?

[Sora, you don't seem the type to like boys is what he's saying. Also, Roxas has a huge not-heart. You fit right in.]

Capybara top dolphins. They have those at the zoo.

[oathkeeper]

[Yep, side effect of being with Sora. Sorry.] Confused? What do you mean confused?

[Roxas might have to spell that out for Sora. He's never really thought about gender things when it comes to this stuff.]

Hmm, I'll judge that when I see one. Zoo next, then?

[missingache]

[Sora. Sora.] Guys. That you liked guys.

[Whereas Roxas was forced to confront these thoughts a few times in his short life.

He nods, looking excited.] They're super cute. Like giant guinea pigs!

[oathkeeper]

[He laughs and shrugs his shoulders.] Is that really a big deal? You asked Leo about that too, didn't you. Does it bother you?

[Sora does't get it! He loves Roxas, girls are still cute, boys are still cute, what's the issue?]

Really?! Like giant guinea pigs, that's awesome!! [He's effectively excited now. Oh gosh.]

[missingache]

Some people made it a big deal back in Koriko and some do here, too... [Roxas shakes his head.] Not really. There was a guy I liked back in Koriko, and there's cute girls here. But... I picked you.

[They are huge and cute and Souji sent him pictures and videos.] We should go sometime.

[oathkeeper]

[Okay. The way Roxas says I picked you does make Sora smile and get a dumb blush on his cheeks though. He might be feeling a lot little flattered. It takes a bit of effort to not fidget. He likes being the one Roxas' picked.] Then who cares what anyone says. If it's a big deal to someone they can butt out.

[He nods.] Maybe a little while from now? I really want to spend some time with Kairi too.

[missingache]

[People do need to butt out. Roxas looks thoughtful for a moment. Do they have or want a label? He'd be fine either way.] Now I wanna tell some people about this.

I know. [It's odd not to feel jealous because the girl your other half wants to spend time with is here. Probably because she has no memories of Sora.... No he still wouldn't be jealous even if she did have them.] But you better still come back to our bed at night. Just you.

[oathkeeper]

You do? What do you wanna say? [He's fine with that. He just remembers Roxas saying he didn't like people knowing this kind of stuff back in Koriko. That everyone blabbed. Which is why Sora hadn't really told anyone himself aside from passing comments about having a crush to Sheryl and Pippa. And obviously Leo found out.]

[Sora snorts and laughs. He reaches to run his fingers over the wristband Roxas is wearing. Guess sleepovers with Kairi are out of the question. But this commitment is part of being with someone, he's realizing. He grins.] I promise to come back to our bed at night. Cross my heart.

[missingache]

Only to friends. Like Sheryl, Katniss, Axel, Aqua... Important people. [People he knows won't blab. He knows at least 2 out of those 4 would be happy at least.

And he told Leo. That's how it was found out.

Roxas nods, kissing Sora's cheek.] Good. I want at least one shinki free zone. They can't come into my quarters without my permission anyways.

[oathkeeper]

Forrest, Elise, Aymeric and my shinki Riku? [Those are his other important people. They're still in the workings of picking a new name for Riku Replica...] Sounds like we need another party! [:D]

[Then he laughs warmly again.] Roxas, that sounds a little dorky.

[missingache]

Who... is Elise? [Tell him because he's not comfortable possibly inviting a stranger. Aymeric might be an exception.] Yeah, we should. Here or your temple? If we do it here, we could have a fire on the patio. Oh, I should invite Jakob.

[Roxas huffs softly.] How is that dorky? I want some privacy!

[oathkeeper]

Leo's little sister. She's our age. [Sora sticks his tongue out at Roxas.]

Yours has more room, but I got the beach. We can always have a fire in on the beach too? [He snickers at the mention of Jakob.] Sure! But you might wanna be careful inviting Add's shinki. [Please no more fights. Wheeze. Also Sora has already seen Add's weird spy cube things.

He grins, another small blush hitting his cheeks.] I'm just kidding! You could have just said our bedroom is our bedroom.

[missingache]

That guy has a little sister? [Is she anything like him?]

I think they'd like the beach more. My place is still a little cold even though it's almost summer. Must be the trees. I guess it would be easier on the deer, too. [Roxas blinks.] Why's that?

[.... He likes the sound of that. It is their bedroom, isn't it.] Does this mean you're moving in?

[oathkeeper]

He's got a whole bunch of siblings as far as I know. Only Elise is here though. [Be glad that Elise is nothing like Leo.]

[There's a sparkle in Sora's eye at the prospect of the party happening at his temple instead. Beach party!! And about Add...] I just don't want another reason for you two to fight. Then again, I'm sure Jakob does whatever he wants.

[Despite Sora being over at Roxas' temple more already he's not sure how that would work. Though he really wants to. Can two temples just mush together?] Well I can't just leave Riku and there's my new cat and Wan...

[missingache]

Having siblings must be nice. [Like actual siblings.

Roxas sighs, looking away.] Add and whatever he makes can't come into my temple grounds. Especially that damn cube cat. Jakob's been here before, and he likes my place better than Add's. He can come and go however he wants.

[He laughs nervously.] Well... it's not like you have to teleport to your temple anymore... but there might be a bear there sometimes. [How to explain.] I think my temple moved in next to yours. I was wondering why there was sand suddenly by the archery range. It goes right to your temple. I don't think we can merge them, but that makes things easier, right?

[oathkeeper]

[Every other bit of conversation goes right out the window as soon as Roxas mentions a bear at his temple and sand at the archery range.]

When did this happen?! [And yes now he's tugging the heck our Roxas' wrist.] I wanna go see! Right now! Come on!

[Their temples are on the same plain now?! Like one giant grounds? Sora's freaking out.]

[missingache]

C-Calm down! I don't know! [Please stop tugging you're going to irritate him.] Okay. Let's go then.

[Not one giant grounds for them. Still two distinct places, just.. right next to each other now. Roxas knows this can happen, like it did with Pippa's temple being easily accessible, just didn't think it worked between pantheons.] So no more work today?

[oathkeeper]

Ummm. [Sora looks down at the work. There's still stuff to be done but there's so much going on now Sora's not sure he could focus on working.] We can come back tomorrow?

[Because there's bears on the beach and he needs a distraction until he can see Kairi later.]

[missingache]

[Yeah, Roxas can't focus either.] Sure. I don't think they'd mind. It's not like it's gonna rain.

[He pulls away enough to take Sora's hand, intertwining their fingers.] Let's go home.

[oathkeeper]

[Roxas if you keep saying cute things to his face like that he's going to explode. He smiles brightly and squeezes Roxas' hands in his. It's nice how comfortable their hands fit together. Home...] Time to go home!

[AND SEE BEACH BEARS. Sora teleports them without another word.]
