[ HEADING BACK OVER TO TENJIN ]

Heyyyyy! Job's done! That's all, right??

Re: THE SHRINE

[soulping]

Do you not intend to help with the other areas of the shrine as well?

Re: THE SHRINE

[sweatypalms]

...More??

[ HOW MUCH DO THEY GOTTA CLEAN ]

Re: THE SHRINE

[soulping]

The ema board and the eaves need assistance. If you speak with my shinki, they'll help you.

[ he points to two areas:

One where a a priestess with long, dark hair is frowning at a rack of hanging wooden plaques, shaking her head

and

Another where a priestess with short hair is grimacing up at the eaves of the shrine underneath the roof. Her hands are on her hips. On the floor before her is what would appear to be a pile of rubble. To your left, a little ways over, underneath the corresponding corner of the building, is an identical pile of rocks. ]

[ HEADING TO TOMONE ]

Heyyy, Tomone~!

Re: THE SHRINE

[soulping]

[ THAT'S NOT HER NAME, certainly not the one Hiyori remembers her by. She doesn't respond. ]

Re: THE SHRINE

[secare]

( laughs. )

Snubbed.

Re: THE SHRINE

[sweatypalms]

TOMONEEEEE!

[ RIGHT NEXT TO HER NOW ]

Re: THE SHRINE

[secare]

I hope she punches you.

Re: THE SHRINE

[soulping]

[ She jumps about a mile and nearly steps on a chunk of rock ]

Was that truly necessary!?

[ she looks pretty pissed ]

Re: THE SHRINE

[sweatypalms]

Yes! I've been trying to get your attention!!

[ CLAPS YUKINE ON THE SHOULDER ]

We're here to help out.

Re: THE SHRINE

[soulping]

Oh, good.

[ she gestures to the rubble at her feet. ]

Someone's broken the good luck charms on this temple. We have replacements, but… they're heavy, and high up. And as you can see, it's also left quite the mess. I need you to clear this away and help me hang the new pieces at the eave here and here.

[ she points down the hall ]

Do you think you can do that?

Re: THE SHRINE

[sweatypalms]

Oh, yeah. Sure.

[ eyeing the rubble. they can just toss that outta the way, right. ]

Re: THE SHRINE

[soulping]

[ as if she can see what you're thinking ]

You must not touch that with your bare hands. It's been defiled.

Re: THE SHRINE

[sweatypalms]

Yeah, then what'm I supposed to use?

Re: THE SHRINE

[soulping]

[ She points to a corner, where a push broom and a dustpan stand propped against a pillar. ]

Please dispose of the pieces properly by putting them in the hand-washing basin in the front--the same place where you got water for your other task. Once they've been purified, they can be dealt with once and for all, but come back to me after you've done that.

Re: THE SHRINE

[secare]

That doesn't sound too hard.

( fetching the broom and dustpan like a proper child. )

Re: THE SHRINE

[sweatypalms]

[ SIGHS HEAVILY goddddddddd

IS ANYONE ELSE DOING HARD LABOR, HUH???!!!!!!!

he's gonna get started, though... ]

Re: THE SHRINE

[soulping]

[ don't be a weenie yato. nothing seems to happen for better or worse as you push the bits of rock into the dustpan, but maybe that's for the best? corruption, and all. now go deliver it to the fount, delivery god!! ]

Re: THE SHRINE

[secare]

Is there more? Will you show us?

( rubbing his neck. )

And you called it a job but are you able to pay us?

Re: THE SHRINE

[soulping]

[ here for directions

he seems a little surprised ]

You need more compensation than that which the heart has already given you?

Re: THE SHRINE

[secare]

( nodding. )

You're a part of Hiyori if you're here, right? I think if we help fix the area where you reside, it would be fair for you to give us something to help fix another area too.

Re: THE SHRINE

[soulping]

[ He considers this for a moment. ]

Very well. If you complete all the tasks in this shrine without fail, I'll grant you an object to help you elsewhere.

Re: THE SHRINE

[secare]

Thank you, Tenjin-sama!

Re: THE SHRINE

[soulping]

Just do a good job, now.

[ at least one of you is a hard-working and ambitious fellow! ]
