Date: October 23rd 2016


Hi everyone, Kairi here - I woke up with another memory yesterday and I guess it's got me thinking. For one thing, I wonder how many shinki have remembered more than one part of their life now. I knew some shinki that did, except... they aren't here anymore. Maybe I'm worrying over that part for nothing.

The real reason it got me thinking was that I promised a few people I would be available to practice shinki spells with them and so I wanted to reiterate that promise. I'm available today and tomorrow, no problem. I'm really sad that Izuku can't update the shinki information pamphlets anymore - has anyone else decided to keep up that work for him? One of his other friends, maybe? I would hate to step on toes if someone was already thinking about it.

Also, if you think you know some spells I don't... [She's looking at you, Chikusa.] ... I'd appreciate learning them since I'm still not sure how to find things in that messy library. I've mastered Bind, Silence, Truth, and Umbra.

Lastly... has anyone else noticed strange things happening around the Soulless Shinki temple? I'm trying to keep tabs on them and getting their current names with descriptions to start, in case ayakashi attack them again.

... I think that's it. Thanks everyone for listening.

Short Edit from Kairi afterwards: OH! And if you like jogging in the mornings, let me know! Hajime and I do it most every day!

(The burned room in her tower needs some t-l-c. Sansa has her soulless shinki helping her hang new draperies - quite a feat considering the size of the windows.)

I have my - Dali's - followers to thank for all of this fabric. I wondered if I should ask them for such a strange offering, but I do not regret it.

(She will make it up to them, somehow. Dusting off her hands, she pours two drinks, handing one to Eteri.)

Are there any rideable horses on the Far Shore, by chance? As I do not have a carriage or other means of conveyance, I must rely on walking otherwise.

(Especially since she is not fond of using magic unless push comes to shove.)

- no, thank you, Eteri. (Her expression softens at something the shinki says.) I can learn or sit sideways.

[Emizel knew a strange thing was happening in his field by the swarm of butterflies in one area. Every so often something would move in the grass that would send most of them flying back into the air. It was about time to find out what was happening here.]

[And uh...It wasn't quite what Emizel thought it might be.]



Um, does this cat belong to anyone?

[It technically wasn't a cat, but a little kitten in his arms now. Not that Emizel really cared about the details so much. The fact of the matter is that it wasn't supposed to be here and he's pretty sure it wasn't wild.]

It somehow got over here..

[Despite the intruder being secured by their god now, the butterflies were still torn between wanting to see the kitten for themselves and also spooked by it. Who knows what sort of terrors it might bring. They will just have to keep hovering around it instead.]

(The video starts with Sakura looking at the screen and then immediately looking away. Her face begins to turn a shade of pink and she whispers something to herself before taking a breath and looking back up, as determined as she can bring herself to look. She's absolutely nervous and everything about her demeanor shouts it but she tries to push through it,)

Pardon me, b-but I was wondering if someone would help me...

But first... ( She gives a small and quick bow, ) My name is Sakura, Princess of Hoshido and a g-goddess of life here in heaven but please, just Sakura will be fine. It's nice to meet you!

( How was that? Too formal? She doesn't know how to introduce herself any other way, though, ugh. At least that's over and done with. )

You see, I'm really shy so I was hoping to overcome this by t-talking to as many people as I could! Back home, I practiced by talking to the m-most intimidating person I could think of but... I think I'm a little out of practice now!

(At some point, she remembers to breathe. Finished with what she has to say, she wonders how she should end this. It feels so sudden and almost rude to just cut off the video but the more time she takes, the more awkward this becomes. Nervously, she bows her head quickly,)

Th-thank you for your time!

( And the feed cuts so she can shriek and stress and feel regret about her decision off camera. )

[ Good morning, citizens of the Far Shore! It's your resident dawn goddess, up bright and early and looking... surprisingly neither bright-eyed or bushy-tailed. She looks pretty tired actually. ]

I have a question, and I thought someone here might be able to help me. Ever since I arrived here, I've noticed that I haven't been able to sleep past a certain time of day. Usually early in the morning, around five or six. Maybe it has something to do with the goddess I'm supposed to be substitute for? I don't know. But I've never been good with mornings, and this is really starting to get to me.

[ She punctuates that point with a yawn hidden behind her hand. ]

Does anyone have any advice? I mean, other than going to sleep earlier, of course.

[ Help a girl out? ]

There is a fire at my temple. Those with powers connected to water would be especially appreciated.

(Panicking? No, she isn't panicking! She is gathering buckets of water, but carrying them upstairs is terribly taxing. Meanwhile one of her tower rooms is being devoured by flames.

Also, attached to the message is a map of her temple in approximation to those nearby.)

Who: Chikusa Kakimoto
When: October 2


-----

[For a good long while, Chikusa honestly doesn't realize that something wrong is necessarily happening. He's already been having difficulty with his memories and emotions starting yesterday, when he recalled Ken's..... everything. Adding in whatever nonsense is coming through the tears, and he's even more of a mess.]

[But when he does snap out of it, and sees the tears which have become scattered across the Far Shore... He immediately gets out his phone.]


I recognize what these distortions are. [And in case anyone has somehow missed them, don't worry- Chikusa is diverting the phone for a second to show one off. He is keeping his distance.] Someone named Add is responsible. He's the only one with the skillset to mess with time and space.

[He's actually guessing on this part, but he's pretty sure he's also completely right. Chikusa is kind of pissed, and it might actually be coming through his low quiet voice, for once.]

If you haven't met him.... He's 180 centimeters tall, light build, near white hair, pink eyes, a tattoo on the left side of his face.

He's attacked me before... and almost killed someone. He's clearly out of control.... and needs to be gotten rid of permanently.

[If there's anything else Chikusa could add to this little PSA, he doesn't get a chance. There's a revolting sound, and he swears under his breath in Italian. The camera jerks sharply, catching just the briefest blur of a corrupted Noise Ayakashi... and then the video goes out.]

Since the seasons are prone to change, we should make songs to celebrate! You needn't sing if you are shy.

(You could also cheat and just share traditional songs from whatever world with her. Like she will know the difference. Sansa shifts to voice - because she is a little shy too - and begins to sing. The song she chooses is sad, but there aren't many Westerosi Autumn songs to choose from - and even less that she can recall. Autumn isn't really...a thing.

Her voice is soft and sweet - more contralto than soprano. She finishes and is silent for a few long moments.)


...that wasn't very hopeful, was it. I shall attempt to write one that is happier.

From: Ayumu Yamazaki
Date: September 22nd

[In all the time that Ayumu's resided on the Far Shore, both as a goddess and a shinki, she's never once started her own thread on the BBS. It's very rare for her to even comment and it wasn't until her tenure as a shinki that she bothered to check it occasionally. She's deeply uncomfortable with using modern technology outside of emergency situations unless it involves browsing cute animal pictures and videos.

So for Ayumu to put her aversion aside long enough to make a post, it has to be for something really damn important to her. And this announcement is.

As soon as the video starts, it shows Ayumu seated at the kitchen table. She's wearing a long sleeved blouse with a high collar and her hair's loose but been neatly brushed. Usually, her body language radiates confidence and self-assurance but today, she's hugging her arms in an unusual display of shyness and uncertainty.

It takes her a few moments to start speaking; the view wavers back and forth briefly as she reaches out to adjust her phone, trying to get it properly centered for her recording. Once satisfied, she breaks out into a bright, cheerful smile and starts talking in a rather animated fashion.]


Hello! I hope everyone is having a good day. My name is Yamazaki Ayumu. Some of you may know me as Hakkai-sama's exemplar but many of you I have yet to meet.

[She gives a slight self-deprecating laugh before continuing.]

I'm making this video to inform you all of a personal project of mine that I'm working on. I'm sure that most of you know that a shinki's life can be an unstable and unpredictable one as their gods and homes vanish can vanish without warning. I believe the solution to this problem is to build community resources outside the gods they are bound to.

[The longer Ayumu talks about this, the more confident and passionate she seems. There's a slight sparkle of excitement in her good eye. She reaches for something out of view and there's the sound of papers rustling before Ayumu is replaced with a close up of a somewhat clumsily drawn but surprisingly detailed sketch of an idyllic temple. Kairi might recognize it as the one she'd spent time cleaning up but Ayumu added cutesy little doodles of what are presumably supposed to be happy, carefree shinki frolicking with cats and other animals.]

This is the Community Home for Lost Shinki, a shelter designed to provide a safe sanctuary for any shinki who finds themselves suddenly bereft of their god or feels unsafe in the service of the god they've been assigned to. My goal is to lessen the anxiety of shinki who are uncertain or uncomfortable about their future here on the Far Shore.

[There's a brief pause as another idea occurs to her on the spot. Oh, she should sell the potential benefits to the new gods as well, shouldn't she? Her tone becomes very grave and serious as she goes on.]

It will also ease the strain on gods who are unfit or unwilling to be responsible for a shinki. As I'm sure many of us are aware, none of us have arrived here of our own free will. But it's imperative that we cope and manage the best we can in this situation as a community.

[Ayumu pulls the drawing back and she's visible again, a genuine, sweet smile on her face. This is the essence of who she is - a woman who's dedicated her life to the service of others.]

As a member of this community, I propose a charity event to raise funds for this project. Perhaps a swap meet?

['Swap meet' comes out a little awkwardly on her tongue; it's not as unfamiliar as it was when she first heard but it's still a relatively new phrase and concept to her. The video cuts off here rather abruptly. Maybe she ran out of recording time?]

Hey, everyone. I've noticed there's been quite a few people here who are either illiterate or mute [Selectively mute, anyway] so I've decided to find a way where it might be easier to communicate.

I'll be teaching sign language for anyone who's interested and I'm also offering to help anyone who would like to learn how to read. So far, these will be initially taught at the library or I can even do private tutoring sessions for anyone as well. If you also know people who are interested, spread the word.

And for those who doesn't know me yet, the name's Lavi.

I've gone gambling on the Near Shore a bunch of times, but then I start drinking and there are fights or there was the time I agreed to jump in the river with a bunch of that candy that fizzes when you eat it shoved in my pockets just to see what would happen...

Basically what I'm saying is that if we do it here, I probably won't get lost on the way home as much.

So any takers?

[Hey, who are these three weirdos showing up on the BBS feed? They may not be familiar to some but to others, the forms of Izumo, Aymeric, and Leo are on screen thanks to the laptop camera in Aymeric's office. No cats included but strange enough the camera is able to fit all three men in view without issue..]

Greetings and well met, Far Shore. To those who are curious of who we are, I am Aymeric de Borel-

Leo, formerly prince of Nohr.

And Izumo Kusanagi.

We come to you with an idea that some may have heard or seen within the past few days, coming together to express it the best way we can. Recall when you first arrived in this realm and were told about your new positions whether god or shinki. However, have you noticed that the information given to us was sparse? Most of what we know now was by either word-of-mouth, spoken by fellow comrades, or we had to experience it.

[Do they need a reminder of Axel and how important the Gods’ Greatest Secret is? While they cannot see it on screen, he keeps his hands folded.]

Not only that but when someone vanishes and there are shinki with no place to go, only to rely on this network and their own connections to find a place to stay and to be safe from harm...there needs to be something done. And we may have that very idea to help: the three of us have come up with the notion of a center of sorts. One to be able to house various information about this world and our roles as well as what can be done.

[Looking to both men as he speaks. He’s not the only one doing this...even if he did kind of drag them into it.

So Leo speaks up.]


There is almost no organization here. We rely on once-monthly training sessions for any information or way to meet the other gods and shinki in the heavens, and sometimes it can be weeks before we realize someone has left the heavens, leaving their shinki godless or their god shinki-less. There is no way to determine how many gods a shinki is named by or how many shinki a god has and what their names are. There is no database of information, no collection of what we know about the world we’re in or the worlds we come from. This is a problem.

[Okay, he’s done.]

It is for this reason that we had decided to fix that problem [A brief pause as he glances at the other two.] and opted to do what we can to help everyone here - god and shinki alike. At the moment, we have managed to procure a location for this at Heaven’s library and we will also offer classes or aid for anyone who finds themselves confused by anything that may seem new to them - such as the technology like the phones that each of us are given when we initially arrive.

Along with the location, we are looking for those able bodied in both physical and mental capabilities to help with the process. There are places that have not yet been mapped and to have a general consensus of the lay of the land would do wonders for those newly arrived. If a shinki has no place to go if they become godless, we need those who are willing to open their doors to give shelter until they can get up on their feet. There needs to be much more information on subjects such as Noraing other than the taboo and whispers in the shadows about how harmful it is. Unless we arm ourselves with knowledge, we will remain ignorant and possibly lose a valuable tool at our disposal.

If there is anyone who is willing to help us, we can be either reached at our current office at the library as mentioned earlier or at this current number to whom we are speaking from along with the temple of Forseti.

[And there’s directions to said library and Aymeric’s temple attached to the message as well. Why only his info? Does anyone want to deal with Niles answering the door? And Izumo seems to be a private person so it’s only fair.]

There has been too much discourse about how to go on in this realm and how only one group should be responsible for the displaced masses. So let us repay in kind and instead of bemusing the misfortunes that are upon us, to stand up and do something for a change. Instead of sitting and watch the world pass by, offer your assistance to someone who needs it. Open your home to one who needs safety in an uncertain time. That is what we are trying to accomplish but we cannot see this to completion alone: we need help, nay we need you.

[The video opens to the image of a pink-haired woman, seated in a soft white chair in a brightly-lit dance studio. With a slightly sad smile, Maria waves a hand at the camera before interlacing her fingers in her lap, manner businesslike despite the obvious emotion behind it.]

I'm sad to say that the co-owner of Sparkle Motion, Barry Goodman, has left this place. As such, the studio and equipment has been left to me, and as of today, I'll be taking charge of Sparkle Motion.

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Maria Cadenzavna Eve, and Sparkle Motion is a dance studio and talent agency for anyone of any level of skill. If you want to become a professional, of course we encourage and foster that with public performances and industry experience, but if you just enjoy dance or singing or any kind of performance for the sake of it, the space is available for you too. We have private practice rooms available to rent, and this dance space as well.

Since I'll be taking charge, I wanted to ask for expressions of interest as well. I was considering running a dance class mainly focused on using it as exercise or a way to make your movements more graceful for combat or whatever your needs may be, perhaps twice a week. There would be a small fee to join, but anyone would be welcome regardless of prior dance experience, and you'd be learning things you could take home and add to a regular exercise routine. However, I'd need at least a few people interested to run a proper class, so if you are, please be sure to contact me. If there's enough interest, I'll set up a test class sometime soon.

That's all for now. Thank you, and I hope to see some of you at the studio. [She bows a little to the camera before the video ends. A few seconds later, the address of the studio is added to the opening comment in text.]
