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~

[ Already she's impressed. At least she knows her manners. She pauses as she tucks her hair behind her ear before she peers at the note. Already there's a small smile that forms. Oh, Amaterasu... you really are trying. ]

Amaterasu is one of the gods that lead this heaven. I believe that note is more for your benefit than ours. Have you met your god?
pure_radiantics: (convo] all smiles)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2016-11-30 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
I did!

[She takes the note back and puts it back in her pocket.]

He's a nice guy, about my age. I guess Amaterasu must have met me before I woke up to pin that note to my robes... It just seems sad we couldn't talk instead.
dominatriarch: ([?] | So don't you let me down)

[personal profile] dominatriarch 2016-11-30 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...Oh dear. Now she wants to adopt this poor thing. ]

She's been busy as of late. I'm certain she would want nothing more than to speak with all of you.

[ But a pause of thought. ]

Though... there might be a chance you may get to meet her sometime. She's been coming out to speak to us more recently.
pure_radiantics: (convo] huh. interesting.)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2016-12-01 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? That would be exciting, I think, to meet one of the people in charge of taking care of the people here.

[She doesn't remember it, but being adopted by the Mayor certainly has given her respect for leaders in similar positions.]

If I do get the chance, I think I'd want to tell you about it.

[She holds up her phone then.]

Is that okay?

dominatriarch: ([<3] | Before it's too late)

[personal profile] dominatriarch 2016-12-02 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
She's been making an effort to touch base with everyone more often. I think it would do her good to get to know more of you.

[ And blinking back at her and the phone. ]

I'd be happy to hear about it. Did.. you mean to ask for my number?
pure_radiantics: (convo] I'd like that.)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2016-12-03 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I thought I saw a directory of names before, when I looked to make sure I call Roxas in case I got in trouble...

[She looks a little sheepish in response. Maybe this is rude to ask of a different god?]

I just wanted to make sure I was allowed, or if it wasn't somehow disrespectful. I want to be a great shinki.
dominatriarch: ([<3] | If you could take my hand)

[personal profile] dominatriarch 2016-12-05 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you'll go far. You're already doing very well. Your god would be proud, I'm certain.

[ Given her approach to being a shinki? Definitely. This one's going to be good.

But she does accept that phone, taking the time to put her own number in before handing it back. ]


If you need anything, Kairi, please feel free to let me know. It's more than allowed, especially given the situation we're in. It's important for us to help each other, isn't it?
pure_radiantics: (convo] giggle 2)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2016-12-07 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[She wasn't actually expecting Bishamon to put her number in for her! But she's very appreciative anyway when she takes the phone back.]

Well I think it's important when there's so many of us who don't remember our pasts, but didn't know if that was just because I'm one of those people. Maybe it'd look selfish to other people, like other Gods. I know Roxas is doing a lot to help me out already.

[But she smiles at the lady.]

All I've heard so far to be a good shinki is going on prayers with my god, but if we're not doing that I'm not sure what else I can be doing... unless it's just things like this.
dominatriarch: ([...] | Believe > Nickelback)

[personal profile] dominatriarch 2016-12-09 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
We may be gods but part of our duty is to support our shinki best we can. I don't think it's selfish... but necessary.

[ After all, the strength of an army is partially determined by how many there are in it. ]

Things like this will be expected from time to time... but you should support your god in turn. Roxas, was it?
pure_radiantics: (convo] uhm)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2016-12-11 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[She takes a moment before answering because she got lost in thought.]

Yes, Roxas, or Artemis I guess is whose temple it belongs to.

[Hmm...]

Can I ask why you think it's actually necessary to support your shinki?

[Everyone she's been talking to doesn't seem to have quite that intense a feeling.]
dominatriarch: ([<3] | If you could take my hand)

[personal profile] dominatriarch 2016-12-13 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And that question does cause the smallest smile to come to her even as she does steal a glance at her lion. ]

I can only speak for myself but... it's because we gods are all they have. A shinki is a lost spirit and as gods who had bestowed them a name, we are responsible for our shinki.

[ A sigh at that. Things aren't the same as they used to be. She can kind of understand why some gods don't have this kind of sentiment toward their shinki... but that's definitely not how it should be. ]

In exchange for this name, we gain the ability to wield them in battle. Without our shinki, we stand no chance against ayakashi. My shinki are like family to me - from those who I don't wield in battle to my exemplar.
pure_radiantics: (convo] I'd like that.)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2016-12-14 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
A family... That must be nice.

[And not in the 'wishes Bishamon was my god' way, but that maybe Roxas will come to think of her the same way one day. They only just met this morning after all. They can be friends this fast, but it's a little much to ask for more right off the bat.]

An examplar - that must be the top spot for a shinki to aim for, right?

[Just from context alone she's guessing that. She doesn't know about Hafuri yet either.]
dominatriarch: (9874354_original)

[personal profile] dominatriarch 2016-12-15 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She can't help but smile at that. After all, she can't help but think of her own shinki. She can only hope she's been doing them right so far. ]

An exemplar serves as our guide. They are our most trusted shinki or the one who's been with us the longest.

[ It's kinda obvious who she's thinking about, given the look on her face that seems... maybe just a little too fond of whoever she's talking about. ]

Most times, they're a god's only shinki as is the case with many newcomers.
pure_radiantics: (convo] unsure)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2016-12-16 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Newcomers... Does that include Roxas? She doesn't know.]

I guess... that does make sense.

[But the way Bishamon looks thinking about her exemplar, it doesn't occur to Kairi it's anything but something good. Warm.]

It just means I can't be an exemplar. Roxas already has 2 shinki who have been here longer than me.
dominatriarch: ([<3] | And don't you hesitate)

[personal profile] dominatriarch 2016-12-21 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Then... it would be best that you learn from them as best as you can.

[ It's a bit strange for her to consider that these gods wouldn't even need exemplar to begin with. Some of them if not most are human and do know human error and weakness better than any of the old gods have. ]

I'm certain he won't look at you any less even if you've only arrived, Kairi.
pure_radiantics: (convo] I'd like that.)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2016-12-23 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[She smiles a little more seriously than she normally does. Learning from those further ahead than she is... it makes sense, but it also means she can't ever catch up. And even if she could, would that really be fair to the other two? Probably not. It just feels very similar.]

I hope you're right. And I'll do my best to learn from them.

[Roxas being kind to her at least means he deserves her best.]
