Many Questions To Be Had
Who: Xehanort, Open
What: bothering people, and other things
When: June 13thish to maybe the 20th or so
Where:Other temples, his own after dark.
Warnings: None so far.
A
[Although it would be best if he saw to some of his prayers, instead Xehanort has picked up his notebook, a bit of tape and phone, shifted to the jackal-headed form most associate with the god Anubis, and gone looking for other temples nearby. He could have stayed in human form, but if he's intending to speak to gods and shinki both, isn't it best to be easily identified?
Once a temple is found, however, it's just a matter of looking for a door to knock on or a proper place to call out a greeting .. or even approach someone who happens to be standing outside.
He's really not that picky. God, shinki, it's all the same.]
B
[So someone wasn't home when Xehanort ventured to visit their temple. That's alright, there are a million things to do in a day. But at any temple that seemed occupied but nobody home, he's left a note.]
Greetings. I am Anubis; I visited your temple today but nobody was home.
I'd like to ask some questions about your experiences here (God or Shinki!), but since it seems I've missed you, perhaps you'd like to visit me instead, or leave me a message? I should be back at my own temple after sunset, but I can also be reached at [number] easily.
Thank you for your time.
[Visiting Anubis' temple, on the other hand, is visiting a desert. It's dry, even with the bits of oasis-like pools here and there, but it's not completely uninviting.. if it's after sunset he'll be there.]

[There's probably more than cookery involved but frankly, that's what stuck in his mind as it was the only nonsweet thing he was able to easily locate. As he settles on a seat it .. feels like something's under the cushion and sort of uncomfortable.
A bit of fishing around covertly brings up a .. can of tuna?]
Because I am asking many questions myself. It is reasonable to offer information in return, especially if it seems relevant to your interests. As you distrust them, something that may be interfering with them might be interesting.
[As far as he felt it was very straightforward. Give and take.]
no subject
[...and puts the can in the cushions of another seat.]
[He says nothing this entire time.]
no subject
... I guess. You can ask your questions, then.
[This whole situation is just weird. Axel takes a seat on a perpendicular couch, pulling a packet of rice crackers out from under the cushions and sticking them in a potted plant before he continues.]
We'll try to answer them, within reason.
no subject
No question is forthcoming immediately, while he struggles to come to grips with what seems to be a pair of humanoid packrats.]
... Though this isn't why I came here, do ...
[one hand rises as if to point, but the gesture is aborted and he sets it back down.]
... Do you have enough food? If you need assistance, I can probably find enough so you don't have to, ah.
[Hide it everywhere like they were expecting it all to be stolen suddenly??]
no subject
[Xehanort may have difficulty believing it, and it is highly debatable if Chikusa is actually fine at any given moment, but. Well. It's what he says as he shuffles to stand by Axel, not bothering to sit down.]
no subject
[Why would you come to visit just to ask that.]
We've got plenty of food. ... Are you hungry or something?
no subject
How to pull it off without being obvious though?]
..No, as I just said. But this sort of beha... well, nevermind.
[They were clearly not fine. Xehanort wasn't particularly altruistic, but letting people just starve was a little beyond even him.]
Mostly I'm collecting notes on the sorts of things others had trouble with or difficulty finding out about upon their arrival. We're told some things, but a lot seems to get left out, so I'm working on a bit of a guide for new arrivals like myself.
[Maybe he could pay someone else to bring donations and just call it offerings?]
no subject
....Anything that's learned... is learned by talking to other shinki, or gods. If you don't talk to the right person, or ask the right questions...
[His gaze turns a little darker, although he doesn't stop watching Xehanort.]
...People have died because of it. It's.... annoying.
no subject
Axel folds his hands thoughtfully, resting his chin on them and his elbows on his knees. Then he kicks back, resting one foot on a knee and leaning back slightly, and presses his hand to his face.]
I've got a bit of a reputation around here. It's a long story, but needless to say I'm not the most trusted guy. I know how to turn Chikusa into his weapon form and fight ayakashi and use my power, but... that's about it. Is there more that gods can do?
no subject
[Among other things, but he'll focus on what he has. It seems these two echoed his own experiences pretty well; things just aren't being explained that should be. He would have to find out at least if Axel was told to never discuss a shinki's past.]
If it upsets the old gods, or they refuse to disseminate the information.. I'll just find a way to do it myself.
[He hadn't heard yet of Axel's reputation but he hadn't been there long either.
Very pointedly, he's not going to ask. If he didn't like being threatened or harassed at random, why would anyone else?]
... You can teleport. Did they mention that?
