Event Two.





Dust if you must, but bear this in mind,
Old age will come and it's not kind.
And when you go, as go you must,
You yourself will make more dust!




t hasn’t been long since you’ve arrived. The dust has settled, so to speak. And there is… a lot of dust. The town is in disrepair. Some efforts have gone into making it a bit better, but it’s going to be a lot of work, there’s no denying that. There are only a few livable buildings right now, and even those are prone to letting the rain in, or missing stairs to the clearly present second floor, floors crumbling or creaking.

So it is that after a week or so to get used to their new living quarters.... There’s finally activity on the forum. Activity that doesn’t come from any of the people living here.

There’s a stickied forum post, and in it, a single post, from a user FFFFFF:

All-endearing cleanliness,
Virtue next to godliness,
Easiest, cheapest, needfull’st duty,
To the body health and beauty;
Who that’s human would refuse it,
When a little water does it?

Requirements: Everyone

They only have a bit of time to try to figure out what, exactly, it wants from them -- and then things begin to happen.

[... Oh.

Well then.

Minato puzzles over why Nanjo is there and passed out, but he can't really...come up with any sensible explanations, so instead he just rummages for the blanket he'd intended on using and had fallen asleep too quickly to, and drapes it over him.

He'll... chill here and make sure Nanjo's okay, he thinks, before he heads back to cleaning.

But he also doesn't want to just wake him up.]

[The next twenty minutes are blissfully silent. The furniture makes no statement about Minato's state of being and even if he stops, they don't seem to protest at all either. The screams of those a little farther away at another person can be heard, so clearly it's not that they've suddenly stopped being like this.

Nanjo's back is going to to hurt him when he wakes up, but he still doesn't move much.

Even when the furniture starts talking again...it's very low at first, like someone raising up the volume over them again.

"...you're cleaning it all wrong!"

"You've been ignoring me completely!"

"I NEED TO BE POLISHED!"


From outside, he stands upright, moving his blade to attack whoever spoke that last sentence, but realizing there was no danger he look around...wait where did he get this blanket?]

[... Oh.

Minato was definitely enjoying the silence, enough so that he was dozing again, back against a crate--and then the furniture starts up again, and Minato straightens quickly as well when Nanjo stands so suddenly.

Ah...]


...Nanjo-san?

[ah... the furniture is back at it again.]

[He walks in with the blanket thrown over his shoulder. It almost gives him a regal look.]

Arisato.

[He looks back at Minato, even as the furniture cries out.]

Do you know how long was I out?

messianic: (With its own tints the sober grey.)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-29 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Not for too long.

[Minato just shakes his head.]

But...are you okay? Why were you sleeping out here? [Pot, kettle, etc.]
totheno1: (84)

[personal profile] totheno1 2018-03-29 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Napping, yes. These...things have not been very kind to any of us. I feel like some people's patience is running at their wit's end.

[Himself. He means himself.]

I'm as fine as one can be for lack of proper sleep.

["Hey pay attention to us!"

The object are screaming to get cleaned by now. At least they haven't gone back to full-blown insults, but Minato might catch some of them saying "Hurry up, Young Master!"]


...perhaps I should cast it again. We could figure out how much time we have.
messianic: (As man's hope of light)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-03-29 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's a lot to process, though Minato just sighs softly at the shrill screaming from the nearby furniture.

...]


Cast...? You cast a spell?

[... Oh.]

Is that why it was so quiet before?

[If only Kei was better at tuning everything out like Minato.]

That's correct, Abe no Seimei can cast Summon Spirits. Granted its odds of working are rather low, making this entire prospect draining. But I supposed it is worth it to calm the voices down if just for a bit.

[personal profile] messianic 2018-04-02 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[He hasn't heard of Abe no Seimei as a Persona... he knows of him mythologically, of course, but...]

... Please be careful with your energy, Nanjo-san. We don't know how long this will last.

If you need to get some rest, you should. I'll be okay.
totheno1: (41)

[personal profile] totheno1 2018-04-02 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
And have them insult both you and myself?

[He does sound drained, but he's not out for the count...wait.]

Would a...sleeping spell work? It's a risk, mind you...
messianic: (So marvellous things)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-04-02 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
[... Nanjo.]

I don't think you should inflict any status ailments on yourself either...
totheno1: (30)

[personal profile] totheno1 2018-04-02 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
It wouldn't be the first time we've had to do such tactics. I do mourn the loss of some spells that would have aided us even more.

Regardless, I suppose if we slept closer to the forest it may help, but I don't quite trust that place either.
messianic: (schedules of sentiment)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-04-02 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hm...]

If you'd like, I could keep watch? [Oh.]

I do think it'd be quieter by the woods, so if you want to get some rest, I can keep watch and make sure nothing creeps up on you.

[personal profile] totheno1 2018-04-04 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Hold on something is coming from his mouth it's almost unbelievable.]

Thank you. I would appropriate it. We could take turns to keep watch.

[Frame this moment in your life, Minato.]

[Minato doesn't even realize how rare or special this is, alas....]

That sounds good to me. Let's go, then.

[They've got this...!! They'll...get some sort of rest, anyway.]
totheno1: (103)

[personal profile] totheno1 2018-04-04 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[Which is good because some of the walls are starting to find their voices again. Time to make like a tree and leaf. This sounds like a joke Brown would make..

If Minato waits around just a few seconds more, he might hear something;

"Hey good thing he can't unplug you just like he suggested to do with her!"


Too bad (or good?) that it was very low and also that Nanjo was already out of the door. The next part of the walk is nice, awkward but blessed silence until they get close to the edge.]


No noise.

[Except for maybe an internal choir of angels.]

Do you wish to go first? The small rest gave me enough strength to keep proper watch.

[Or, or do you want to sit down and talk for a bit.]
messianic: (of plaintive sweetness)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-04-05 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[...Hm.

He hears it, but it's not his business, he thinks--so he's quiet about it as well as they walk, and the edge of the woods really are relatively peaceful.

But Minato just shakes his head.]


I'm okay. I think I was sleeping for awhile before I woke up before, so I can handle it.

[But Nanjo seems pretty tired and also aggravated.]
