When the guidepost is away...

WHO: Yatogami and you!
WHAT: Exploring the ship, meeting new people
WHEN: Rest of November
WHERE: All over the place

[Note: Yato has some passive powers at play because he’s a god. Unless he draws attention to himself he cannot be noticed by humans who don’t have some sort of connection with him. They will also not remember his name nor the fact he was part of an interaction until they have a connection. Other creatures though, are fair game. If you have questions don’t hesitate to ask.]

To say he was disoriented when he opened his eyes was a bit an understatement. Yato opened his eyes and found himself resting comfortably on a couch of some kind. He couldn’t remember. He was fighting and then... did he die?

He drew in a deep breath and let out a low, pained groan. It didn’t feel like he was dead. Yato sat up slowly, he could already tell under his clothes he was bandaged in a few places. That didn’t stop him from unzipping his track shirt and pulling his t-shirt away to look down. He could feel another up under the fringe of his hair. Bandages, no blight. Okay, he could work with that.

“Rekki!” He called, holding out his hand, presumably to catch something and...nothing.

I. Deck

Catching Yato early in his voyage around the vessel would have him looking around and calling out for someone. “Kazuma?”

At both ends of the deck he’d hold out his hand and call again. “Rekki!”

Nothing. Absolutely disappointing. “Bishamon is going to kill me.” He muttered under his breath.

Presumably, those he would run into would be humans he had yet to draw their attention and he would offer a smile. “Hello!” He greeted, literally out of nowhere. “Don’t suppose you’ve seen a guy, about twenty, glasses?” Hopefully he wouldn’t startle them too much.

II. Fate’s Design

“How can you be so stupid and eat all my chips!” Yato lamented, using his fist to pound lightly on the slot machine, like it’s the slot machine’s fault he’s just unlucky. It was a good thing there were many chips in abundance really.

“I swear, if she’s thinking of me right now-” He banged on the slot machine again as he lost, again. It was somewhat noisy and easy to attract people’s attention like that at he rate he was going.

III. Atrium

It was there that Yato was melting into the background, collecting his thoughts while perched on a banister. How it was he got in that exact position might be a mystery.

Humans wouldn’t catch sight of him sitting there, drooped with exhaustion and his brow furrowed in worry.

IV. Everywhere Else

This was a less than ideal situation really, he appeared to be trapped on a ship disconnected from everything the best he could tell and completely unarmed. Again.

Yato had on his biggest smile in that moment. He didn’t have a pen or paper in hand, nor did he have a phone number that he knew of so it was going to have to be old school.

He would approach everyone and anyone, no matter what they were doing. “Hi!” He chirped brightly. “I’m Yato, local god of fortune, let me know if there’s anything I can do for you.”

Yato was very much not in the mood for this. He was tired, his body ached and this was not the best day. All the same, he would do his best to smile and engage the public, seeking out human connections.

deck.

The deck's the best place to write when she needs fresh air, when her own cabin becomes too stifling for thought. Curled up on one of the chairs, slate and stylus with her, Helena jots down her ideas - fragmented thoughts, concepts she wants to turn into poems, everything she needs to deal with by having it in front of her. Thus, someone slipping past her notice feels like a personal fault, that she'd not be on guard enough to notice him.

At a voice that came without so much as a footstep, she jerks, shutting the notebook so quickly she gives herself a papercut. His question, she tries to keep smiling politely through, however, embarrassed to be so out of it.

"Perhaps, as there are a number of young men here. What does your friend sound like?"

Appearances are useless for her to know, but if the stranger can describe a voice, then they'll have something to start with.
decrypter: (will.)

"And his voice? Is there anything of note there?"

Speech patterns were decent enough, but it's the little things she needs. Now with her own demeanor under control, she can turn her head his direction to be more polite, focused in his direction.
konpeito_aji: (I didn't expect this pain)

IV -ish.

[Nobunaga Oda bows.]

[This is a phenomenally rare thing for anyone who knows his history. It was the prize for winning the sumo contest he formally oversaw. It's not something he does normally and all the foreigners on the ship don't understand its significance at all, but the unprecedented events don't stop there.]


You did it, god.

I'm in your debt. I'm hardly the humble servant a divine being could ask for, but I am the one you've gotten now.

[Done what? Also. This is STILL Nobunaga Oda: who declared war on the gods once...]

[Just making sure that's not forgotten.]
decrypter: (trip.)

"No, I'm the sorry one, for potentially getting your hopes up. But it's worth it to think of it this way - if you know your friend isn't here, then you have a better idea on where he might be altogether, since you can cross one place off the list."

It had been her own reliable feeling, to adjust in the absence of every friend she had. They at least knew where they were. The same rules, the same cycles. It wasn't like they were safe, but they weren't lost to the unknown.
konpeito_aji: (I'll have go on a killing spree)

[His face just goes instantly stern. He's not sure what the god is playing at, but --]

That's impossible.

[Gods are impossible. Magic isn't real. Superpowers and levitation--]

[But even so, gods are not omniscient, they have laws they abide by, and Nobunaga just doesn't understand them at all.]
The person I wanted, I told you to talk to, and now he has his body back. What else could have done it?
redlightgreenlight: (cocky)

Everywhere else

[ooc: Valdis isn't human. Feel free to check out her app or fill out her permissions if interested.]

Sitting in the lounge, reading one of John Watson's mysteries isn't the place Valdis expected to be bothered by a man claiming to be a god. Despite the smile on his face and his cheerful greeting, he's putting on a façade. And beyond that? She's not interested and tries to shut down her empathetic awareness completely.

"I hate gods." She replies simply.
konpeito_aji: (mrrrr)

[personal profile] konpeito_aji 2022-11-20 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[A headtilt. Fair enough. How puzzling. The Captain? No. Impossible. ...? MAYBE. PROBABLY. Well, okay the Captain would have reasons to do it. Since Chase murdered Crichton and Bash kind of hated him and was an obviously conflict bargaining chip.]

[Nobunaga's just thinking. So very much.]

[How does the Captain know his childhood name?]

[.... No, that's stupid, HISTORICALLY most people probably had plenty of records.]


Are you trapped here, or are you like the Dioscuri?

[That isn't a non-sequitur. The answer very much dictates Nobunaga's line of thinking and responses, because he truly doesn't understand gods.]
redlightgreenlight: (Kinda Happy)

She sets down her book, arching a brow at him and his smile. He's weary, but still pushing through.

"Well, you are certainly the cheeriest god I've ever met. God of fortune you said? Is that good fortune or bad fortune?"
redlightgreenlight: (suspicious)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2022-11-20 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
He certainly believes or wants to be good fortune, no lies there. She's pretty wary of anyone claiming to be a god. The last person she'd met who claimed to be a god, well...

"Any wish? That seems like a dangerous offer."
redlightgreenlight: (sly)

[personal profile] redlightgreenlight 2022-11-20 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
"What if someone wished that another was dead? Would you go and kill that individual?"

She could also think of several other examples. Perhaps this 'god' is like other gods after all and doesn't care who gets hurt in pursuit of their goal.

konpeito_aji: (That's how it is)

[personal profile] konpeito_aji 2022-11-20 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
There's no way out. It would just kill you, which is a hard reset to waking up in your bed and going through the drill again. Even if you get eaten, the same thing happens. All in tact, no scars. Unless you die too often, and then something gets taken in punishment. I'm told.

That is what Pollux said too. That she's here for the reason they're anywhere, to help guide lost sailors.

I suppose our goals align then. For now.
redlightgreenlight: (Over shoulder 2)

She leveled her gaze at him, curious about the hesitation. She allowed a little of her awareness to expand outward before speaking again.

"I suppose that's better than 'yes'. A little more grey then. What if a child asked you to kill their abusive father? Is that a wish you would grant?"



konpeito_aji: (playing the fool is my job not yours)

[personal profile] konpeito_aji 2022-11-20 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[... but... ????]

Is it because I'm a Demon King?

[He's.... not even a literal demon king. He knows this and yet...]

My wish was fulfilled, but you don't think you did it?

But I told no one else.
