【JANUARY EVENT WRAP-UP】

[ai_nnihilate]

[It's been a long time since the Wishmaker and the Facility infiltrated the city. The physical damage has been repaired and the Rumors have been settled as gracefully as possible, but the fact of the matter remains bleak. Their longtime enemy managed to break passed their defenses and could very well do it again.

Late in the month, a text message rings across the Starnet devices;]

UN: KamiofLove

Good afternoon, everyone. I hope that you've been resting well.

This upcoming Saturday, I would like to propose that we have a meeting at the Shrine of Love. I'll provide refreshments and plenty of space to socialize. We'll start the meeting proper at 5pm. If you could all RVSP through Starnet, I would greatly appreciate it.

I'll see you then.

Event Wrap-Up

The Shrine of Love is located on the Top Level, up a long hill and surrounded by pastel walls. Through the welcoming rose garden is a large wooden balcony, which overlooks the city and plays host to numerous tea tables. Today, there are three large buffet-style tables with warm food, drinks, and desserts. The food is a mix of Eastern and Western and is generally easy to share. Arrivals are welcome as early as noon and mealtime will go on until 5pm, when the meeting proper starts.

For characters who are shy or get tired, there are numerous tatami mat rooms to relax in between arrival and the meeting. There is also a large onsen, divided by gender, where the Fallen Stars are welcome to relax. This is about to be a stressful night, so the shrine staff have also prepared rooms for overnight stays. The meeting itself will take place on the balcony.


OOC: Threajacking is highly encouraged! Keep arrivals under this toplevel and post-meeting stuff here. Info sharing should be its own top-level! Please put the subject of the info sharing in all caps, so that it's easier to spot.

It's nice to meet you! My name is Satou Kuroneko and I'm the 'Kami of Love' here. My question is~

What does 'love' mean to you?

To me, it's the reason that we were born. And obviously, it's the power that keeps this city standing.

I hope you're doing well, Satou-san.

I wish I had a good answer, but it'd probably be long and rambly.

[ai_nnihilate]

Hey, I won’t stop you! A good ramble is good for the soul sometimes!

[ Love, huh... ]

It's as you say. It's one of the most powerful feelings, most powerful things in the world. It's not easy to obtain or easy to hold onto, but when you share it, nothing will make you feel better. I've learned that, love doesn't necessarily have to be restricted to a family, or to someone you're in a relationship with. I have your son to thank for that.

It can cause so many problems... but, experiencing the feeling, sharing a moment with those you care about, it makes it feel worth it.

I don't think there's much that's stronger, in this or any world.

... Love is complex, more than anything else. I'd say that to try and class it purely as one thing is to undervalue and misread it. And I say that as someone whose nature is to play with one particular sort of it.

There're a lotta things that love means, I think.

But more importantly, I think it's a powerful emotion that can beat a lotta things and somethin' ya can rely on.

something kinda inconvenient, but worth chasing if it's important to you.

like yeah, it can screw things up sometimes, but the pros outweigh the cons.

Love is the connections that make our stories worth writing. It should be cherished and treated carefully to honor them, and not used to bring pain.
