From: Orihime
Date: April 8th 2017 (Morning)


[ Rise and shine early birds! There's a prim-looking young woman who is smiling broadly and doing her darndest to contain herself as she speaks formally to all who will listen. She is well-dressed enough, but her hair is completely down. ]

Good morning, all who dwell in the Far Shore! I must speak with you about an urgent matter - and so I resolved to use this device once more, to the best of my ability.

[ She holds up a single finger. ]

I have just learned that the regular training scheduled to engage with new gods would be in service of one new god! So I have made the following bargain with Amaterasu-sama -- that I would personally speak with and train this new god in the ways of the Far Shore in exchange for a holiday excursion for all who would join us! I just... could not stand idly by after you all worked so hard and dealt such a blow to those who threatened us!

[ She lowers her hand. ]

There is just one small problem...

[ She looks expectantly up once more, a resigned sort of smile there. ]

I do not know all of you as well as I would like! So if I were to bring a suggestion or two for such an excursion before Amaterasu-sama, I do not know what that should be! I have... certainly never been able to consider such things myself, so I would not be a good person to decide for all of you.

Therefore, would you do me the favor of telling me: where do you consider a beautiful place to travel to and relax? Perhaps a place that is better suited to entertainment? I heard of a place called Capypa Land...

[ She shakes her head. ] This is not about me. [ And calms herself again. ]

Unfortunately we do not have much time, so please-!!

[ She bows her head, a little awkwardly since she's holding the phone. ]

[[ OOC Plotting Post is over here! ]]

I was thinking in terms of what would be easiest via shrine teleportation, but Amaterasu does have shrines in Hawaii.

Do you think currency exchange would be an issue though?

Yeah, accessibility would be a thing to take into consideration when choosing a location, but she does and as long as we have permission to use her temple to go back and forth that wouldn't be an issue.

I don't think so. Many Hawaiian stores accept yen, since there are a lot of Japanese tourists coming there, and there are several good currency exchangers around the place as well for the few shops that don't accept yen. It shouldn't be any problem. Mainland USA would be more troublesome, but not so much Hawaii in particular.
unlucky7: (STATUS :: That so?)

[personal profile] unlucky7 2019-02-17 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
That makes it a lot easier. The change of scenery would be nice too.

Have you been to Hawaii?


[It's the safest way to ask.]

1/2

[personal profile] smilingbullet 2019-02-17 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
It does, it makes it a lot less complicated. And a scenery change is always nice once in a while, there should be more opportunities for it.

I have, yes.


[ So that's a very short answer, coming from him when they're not in the field; give him some minutes to type a second message. ]

[ Aaand several minutes later (during which Ginia probably would have been able to answer to his first message unless she's otherwise occupied or writing something particularly long) there is a second message, locked from the sight of other people. ]

I've been there but not as a shinki. I don't really talk about remembering a bunch of stuff but I know that I was born there, and I remember being back years and years later with a few fellow service members.

[ Note the difference between "know" and "remember" there. ]

[Between her conversation with Waver and juggling her own work at the temple, D2's second message comes in before Ginia's had a chance to respond to the first. Taking everything in at once, it makes a lot of sense.

Know. Remember. They're important differences for a shinki.]


Explains your shooting skills. Marines?

[ Well...That's good at least? Then she might sort of get his messages as one even though they're two. ]

Navy, recruited to a mixed special forces recent years.
unlucky7: (STATUS :: You sure?)

[personal profile] unlucky7 2019-02-20 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Wow. You don't have to answer since it's personal, but how much do you remember?
smilingbullet: (Arisaka)

[personal profile] smilingbullet 2019-02-24 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
A bit here and there, over several years.
unlucky7: (STATUS :: Worried)

[personal profile] unlucky7 2019-02-25 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Is it easier knowing more about yourself or do you wish you didn't?

[ She already knows he's a slow typer, but it's a bit more delayed than that this time. ]

I don't know, a bit of both, honestly. I think.

[personal profile] unlucky7 2019-03-01 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I wonder if most shinki with memories feel that way? I only have one memory and sometimes I wish I didn't, but it's still my memory.

[It's still me.]

Perhaps. Only having bits and pieces only causes more questions, I'd say. But I can only speak for myself.
unlucky7: (STATUS :: Watching 4)

[personal profile] unlucky7 2019-03-03 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
I understand. I have a lot of questions, but, well, can't dig too deep, can we.

[And living in a temple of old shinki, she tries really hard not to think too much on things.]

By the way, did you remember things in your sleep too?
smilingbullet: (Jungle Carbine)

[personal profile] smilingbullet 2019-03-23 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately that is difficult to do.

I did, indeed. I think that's the norm for it. However "normal" it is to remember at all.


[ Old shinki, after all, does not and it's a new phenomenon. ]
unlucky7: (STATUS :: Stoic)

[personal profile] unlucky7 2019-03-26 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
The new normal for our generation at least, though I think we've soundly broken what's normal and what isn't for shinki.
smilingbullet: (C14 Timberwolf)

[personal profile] smilingbullet 2019-04-03 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes, we absolutely have. Otherwise we wouldn't be seen as outrageous creatures or whatever by the old guard.
unlucky7: (STATUS :: Uncertain 2)

[personal profile] unlucky7 2019-04-09 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Their loss.

Though I guess it's for the safety of other shinki too. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the old gods saw us as an infection to stay away from.

No, yeah, we are scary to them. Not that they would admit to being scared of shinki of all things, but they still clearly ARE scared of us.
