Video: The Weaver Speaks

[starfestival]

From: Orihime
Date: July 4th (evening)

[ Orihime is standing several yards in front of her small house, but the river behind her might explain why she moved away from it. Even from this distance, there is din of water swirling through the currents. She holds her device like a lady might hold a mirror to apply makeup.

More importantly, she appears to be smiling.]

I have been thoroughly surprised by the generous nature of several new gods and shinki. As it stands, our preparations will be complete in time for Tanabata, which is the 7th of this month if you were not made aware as of yet as another newcomer, and thus long before Obon as well.

In gratitude to the hands that were extended in service to the Heavens - and, if I may, humbly include myself - I wish to repay this kindness. All gods have their talents and mine is the creation of splendid divine raiments for just such a festival as Tanabata and Obon.

If you are one of the new gods or shinki and do not yet possess such, you may seek me out by the Amano river before dusk falls tomorrow and I go in turn to host the Heavens' Tanabata festivities.

Not at the least so beg pardon if I've offended, miss.
Bit of a long story, I'd think but to make it short I'm one of the new folk. Wasn't always the Baron. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding!

[starfestival]

Are you saying that "Ron" is somehow a friendly nickname derived from "Baron" then? If so, then we are still under a misunderstanding, as I am wont to speak very formally to strangers.

[She sounds more just confused now.]

[OOC: Just a note if you didn't see it that there was an update to this post.]

[diehardreaper]

Perfectly understandable! Someone I knew once was the exact same way so I won't press it further.
And if you'd rather, you can call me Baron instead.
It'll be easier for everyone all around, I'd like to think!

[ ooc: Yup, I saw! Is it okay even if Ron doesn't currently have a shinki? ]

[starfestival]

Baron, then. I did not wish to cause a fuss either.

[ OOC: Per the revised Prayers/Missions guidelines, if the Goal does not say 'defeat the ayakashi', then any combination of gods, shinki, and unbonded gods and shinki can answer Prayers or Missions together. This includes doing it solo if an NPC is involved, but up to 5 characters may go together. ]

You've already been through a lot
The last thing I'd want is to cause a mess over names
Here's hoping to better times for you moving forward, anyroad!

[starfestival]

Anyroad?

[She makes a single small laugh.]

What a curious thing to say.

[diehardreaper]

Bit of a habit, I'm afraid. You can take a lad off the streets but you can't take the streets out of a lad no matter how much time's passed.

[ And some people think his accent's cute, anyway. ]

[starfestival]

I see. A local phrase, then.

[diehardreaper]

Yeah. Does tend to cause a bit of confusion if you aren't used to it or so I've been told.

[starfestival]

I tend to agree.

Until next time, then.
