thefarshore | Heaven's BBS

From: Misaki Yata, Saruhiko Fushimi
Posted: July 6

[ The video starts scrolling to show a floor filled with multicolored plush toys - most of which might be familiar from the recent festival. There’s easily several dozen filling the frame before the feed swings up to catch the pair of people addressing the BBS today.

Yata, the one clearly holding the phone, looks a little sheepish about it, but isn’t letting that stop them. Fushimi, meanwhile, just looks...grumpy. ]

So, uh. We might need some help. We sorta…. overdid it at the festival and ended up with… a lot more prizes than we know what to do with. ….Help?

You overdid it. You wouldn’t admit defeat.

[ Cue a twitch from the shorter boy at his side. ] That’s because I wasn’t defeated!

You were. Several times, but you just had to keep going “five out eight” or whatever.

[ Fushimi was honestly not much better. He’s just not going to say that. ]

Argh! Whatever! Just. Look! If anyone wants some of these, we have too many, so come take them off our hands, alright?

[ Fushimi swipes the camera for a second. ]

Five hundred yen for one.

[ He smirks the tiniest bit.

He is one hundred percent trying to get a reaction out of the redhead. He’s discovered it’s easy and entertaining!

It works. ] What?! [ Yata punches him in the arm before stealing the camera back and looking more than a little exasperated. ] Ignore him. They’re free. I’ve got them at my god’s temple for the time being if anyone wants to swing by and grab some. Or knows anything else we could do with them.

First person to suggest “burn them” gets burned themselves. These things reek when you set them on fire.

[ He’s not sure how he knows that, but he does. And before the rest of the Heavens start questioning what else could follow that rather dubious statement, Yata flicks the video feed off to end the transmission. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Yata just grins cheerfully, in an unexpectedly good mood over the events of the past couple days. ]

Yeah, I guess I am. It was pretty fun. Guess it's no surprise we got so carried away then.

[A grin.]

Since you're giving away the toys, I'll take some. Where are you guys right now?

At my god's temple. Ah, here! [ he quickly attaches a photo of the place and a location and texts it to the other guy. ] You can swing by whenever.

Thanks. I'll be there soon then!

[It might. Take some minutes before Johan does teleport himself to the other temple.]

[ It's fine, Yata's not going anywhere.

He's got one of the guest houses out in back of Nami's giant temple and he's currently sitting on the front steps with the room full of stuffed toys behind him. he lifts a hand in a wave when he spots Johan approaching. ]

Hey!

[Johan grins, waving at him in return.]

Hey.

[Aaaand, he sees the stuffed toys.]

You guys really did go all out.

Heh.

[ Yata looks a little sheepish, but mostly pretty pleased with himself. ]

I told you there were a lot.

[He laughs.]

No kidding. I'd feel bad if I end up taking all the toys you've won.

[ Yata waves that off. ]

It's fine. Some other people are gonna pick up some, too. I really don't want em all. I picked out one or two, I guess, but really. Take as many as you can carry. You said you were giving them to kids, right?

Yeah.

[Johan walks closer, mostly to inspect the toys and see how much of them he could actually carry.]

So thanks for this.

Yeah, you're welcome.

[ Yata just grins and steps back out of the way to let Johan help himself. ]

I figure a bunch of kids could use them a lot more than anyone around here. Maybe it'll make 'em happy.

[He laughs, nodding.]

It will. [A soft smile before he perks up a bit.] Do you happen to have some bags around here?

Uhhh. Maybe. Lemme look.

[ Luckily he does, since he'd raided a convenience store recently and comes up with several to hand off to Johan. ]

Will these work?

[Johan nods.]

Yeah, those will do.

Here, I'll help you pack them up.

[ He gets down to randomly start shoving the plush toys into the bags he found. ]

Is there any you don't want?

[Johan pauses from where he's beginning to bag the toys, eyes scanning the other plushies in the room.]

Mm, not the big ones.

[That is, not the giant plush toys, anyway.]

[ Yata makes a face at that, because there's several of those propped in one corner. ]

What, really? Are you sure? I guess they would be kinda hard to carry...

Yeah, sorry.

[Theres's a bit of a pause.]

I can try to take a couple of them, give them to a couple of friends of mine.

[ Yata waves it off. ]

Only if they want 'em. It's fine. I'll eventually figure out places to send them all. A couple people mentioned picking some up when I made that post earlier, too.

Sounds like you have a lot of willing takers.

[He smiles, though.]

Lucky me. [ Yata grins crookedly. ] But thanks for taking these. I hope they make people happy. Good luck with it.

No problem. And thanks.

[Johan nods at the toys.]

You should come with me some time when I drop these off.

Come? [ Yata looks surprised at the offer. ] I wouldn't know what to do with kids.

[A reassuring look.]

You can play with them or just talk to them. Kids usually get fascinated by stories.

Stories, huh? [ Yata blinks and then rubs at the back of his neck awkwardly. ] I don't know if I remember any...
