Video from Orihime

[starfestival]

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! ]]

Just yours?

[Don't do it, Yamanbagiri. Move on and save yourself.]

What if someone else have a better idea than yours?

[goddammit, yamanbagiri kunihiro]

[priforprince]

If they think they can match me, they're welcome to try.

[ Such bigheartedness from the Prince! Could it be...?? Could she possibly be open to....? ]

It's wasted effort, though.

[ NOPE! ]

[replicatedform]

[Just... raise a brow.]

So what's your idea?

[As far as he see, others suggested going to the beach (like up there). What does Hibiki have in mind?]

video

[priforprince]

You want to know?

[ In other words....

....you're interested in Shikyoin Hibiki's opinion???? ]

video

[replicatedform]

... Yes?

[This is the point where he's wonder if he should regret asking.]

ugh sorry for the deletions it didn't feel like she was being enough of a jerk yet

[priforprince]

Then, perhaps I'll expand the audience to which I explain it.

[ How does she keep getting smugger. How is that a thing.

What's more, why can she never answer his questions in a straightforward fashion? Is it pathological? It's probably princeological. ]

As the first special reward, exclusively for you.

no worries!

[replicatedform]

[Will she ever speak in a more straightforward manner? Will he stop engaging her in conversation one day.]

First special reward? [Uh.] Thanks? You don't have to, but that means you'll tell me, right?

[Right?]

[priforprince]

If you phrase your request properly, perhaps.

[ with hibiki, you either get no straightforwardness whatsoever or you get extremely blunt screaming

we do not do "middle ground" in this establishment

about anything ]

[replicatedform]

[...

He's quiet for a moment, because he's thinking to himself about how much he really want to know. Is it worth indulging in his curiosity at this point?]

Can you tell me your idea?

1/2

[priforprince]

Hmph.

[ She's so tempted to say "no". It would amuse her.

But it wouldn't befit the situation, as he has done as was requested of him. Such manners are worth honoring by bestowing upon their owner the grandiosity that is -

SHIKYOIN HIBIKI'S OPINION. ]

It can't be helped. For vacances, the only plan suitable for rejuvenating gods and shinki is -

2/2

[priforprince]

[ The camera suddenly pulls back, revealing that Hibiki is standing on the prow of some sort of giant fancy boat. Already. There is what looks like a full symphony off to one side, playing lighthearted and relaxing classical music. And from the way the clouds are moving behind her, this ship is already in motion. ]

A first-class world cruise on the largest luxury liner in the Near Shore!

[ HIBIKI

NO

ALSO, HOW

AND WHY

aren't you glad you jumped through hoops to learn this, yamanbagiri ]

1/2

[replicatedform]

[Well, time to prepare himself. After seeing her temple, how incredibly flashy this idea might be—...

wait

what

he blinks and again, gaping]

Your idea is what?

2/2

[replicatedform]

[THAT'S... okay, fairly within range of what he saw of her... style? So far. So really, he have... questions! And objections (gasp) for very understandable and practical reasons.]

That is—It's already moving? Are you expecting us to arrive on an already sailing cruise?

[Sure, the Near Shore residents (save for like, animals and maybe kids?) wouldn't notice them. But there's still the matter of... logistics! And things! And people would notice if rooms are occupied?

Does the boat even have a shrine onboard?!]

[priforprince]

Have no fear.

[ Hibiki remains as staunchly unbothered by logistics as Yamanbagiri is concerned. ]

I've granted Lady Orihime the consideration of reserving this entire vessel.

[ this isn't going to be awkward for her in the next log, when her idea isn't picked, at all

no sirree

a stuffed robotic spygoat in a little sailor hat with a life ring around its neck wheels by in the background

extra crew maa-ssistance, coming through... ]

[replicatedform]

[That sure is a festive weird goat.

Where have he seen something like that before?]

In other words, we're not going unless Orihime picked your idea.

[In the very, very near future, it turns out they're going elsewhere.

And hypothetically, Yamanbagiri may feel a little bad for Hibiki. Maybe.]

[priforprince]

This is the plan I've decided upon. Its realization is merely a matter of time.

[ She could make the argument that her statement is true because Orihime has impeccable taste. Which is, incidentally, a thing she believes. And yet, she refrains.

Her statement is true as-is. Why alter perfection? ]
