The Hashihime is In - (OTA for October)
Who: Parsee bridge_princess and you!
What: Open Log for October
--In which Parsee attempts to turn over a new leaf with mixed results by updating the shrine
Where: Predominately around the Shrine and Bridge, but out and about in a couple prompts.
When: October anytime
Content Warnings: None! (Will update if needed)
Option 1) DAMNIT CACTAUR!
Parsee could be found around the region at some point in the company of what looked looked like the severed head of a teddy bear turned into a pin-cushion and a creature with a paintbrush on its tail, colored black. She was quietly and with great annoyance pulling needles out of her normal clothes and her skin as she walked from place to place along the paths, and currently dressed in a hunter green version of those school uniforms they were 'selling' inside of the mountains. She grumbled a lot, but every time she reached a corner, she stopped and set the clothes down before looking over to the painter and nodding.
"Ok, let's start here. Hmmmph, they'd better be grateful someone's finally getting around to this," she murmured and smiled over at the creature as she started to plant down a simple wooden sign, letting one stitch it into place and make sure it was in good shape while the other started to paint on it with their tail. "Good job, ok... uh... arrow that way, and say Bar. Arrow that way, say Mt. Silver." Someone was trying to get signs up. It was probably mostly futile, but new people were showing up.
Option 2) Getting set up. (Shrine/Bridge to the Void)
Parsee and her two companions of the moment were busy as hell. She had some food and water set out for them, and each was currently busily working on something as she'd directed. The rolling head was quietly and busily using its thread to finish fixing up a house out back of the Shrine, near the river. It was finally time to make the thing stable, and it was putting the finishing touches on her little residence. Meanwhile, the 'smeargle' was happily painting a welcome sign and a sign in front of the shrine, the latter of which said 'Prayers - One Pebble.' The welcome sign ended up in front of the shrine.
"Welcome Back. Bar -->" it read, pointing towards the path leading up to the Heavenly Blanc. The Smeargle seemed happy to be painting certainly and she was grateful.
What was Parsee doing? She was beating wood to a pulp in front of a big vat of water, a grim look on her face. If anyone knew such things, it was a very old fashioned way to make paper. Crude, bad paper, but paper nevertheless. As she worked, a water clock 'tonked' beside her and she occasionally glared over at it. "Behave!" she said if it sounded even a half second off. She would get that damned thing to behave one of these days.
Option 3) The Hashihime is In (Bridge-Shrine)
When the work was finally done, Parsee could be found around the shrine from time to time in the month of October. She was dressed in as much an all-white outfit as she could pull off, given that there were no kimono here right now, complete with a woven metal crown and and a couple metal candle holders she'd ut together from scraps. It gave her a bit of an eerie look. When she saw someone approach, she made sure the things were lit and settled herself inside of the shrine.
The sign by the shrine said 'Prayers - 1 Pebble' and there was a pair of little boxes. One had some scraps of crude paper in it and a stencil, while the other was empty, waiting for pebbles. Tifa had suggested this, and once upon a time? People had prayed at a youkai's shrine, so... she could try the practice out. Maybe it would help people? She wasn't sure. She felt a little silly, but hey. Whatever.
Option 4)... (Osomatsu's room at the Apartments)
She was standing there in front of Osomatsu's place at the apartment complex. It didn't really matter if someone had taken it over now. That wasn't the point. She had an unreadable but displeased expression on her face, her arms folded in front of her. A foot tapped and she seemed to be trying to decide something, but unable to quite reach a conclusion on the matter.
"You're probably better off right now, but still... why'd you have to go?" she muttered, fussing with the hem of her skirt. "You're probably not going to be the last either. 2B's gone too..."
Wildcard) Need/want something else, start a log of your choice or private message me. I'm pretty good with anything here.

no subject
They still don't quite get what she's doing.
"Elaborate."
no subject
"I'm sort of trying to see if me being different, if people thinking I can change means I can change."
no subject
"Acknowledged. Proper procedure for prayer?"
no subject
...
"Actually, you don't really need to clap unless you want to. That's to get my attention and obviously you have it. Gah. I never actually talk to petitioners usually."
no subject
Geth do not pray.
She is an ally.
Their headflaps ripple. Slow, rhythmic, continuous.
She is trying to change.
She is unhappy with her current existence.
...They do not have a pebble.
After a moment they stop rippling their headflaps and hold several of them stuck out in place instead, then smack the opposite side of their head several times until a pebble dislodges from their mechanisms.
They pick up a piece of paper, and consider. It's only a few moments, but Parsee should know it's quite some time for a machine.
What do they pray for? They chatter. Someone they want to pray about? There are many allies for whom they worry.
A general prayer then, for the safety of their friends?
...Their lives are already in the hands of multiple gods.
They chatter.
no subject
"Having a little trouble thinking about who or what to pray about?" The pebble extraction had been a little amusing. Probably had a few wedged in there didn't they?
no subject
(And yet, here they are, trying it out.
Their headflaps lift, and ripple briefly.)
An ally of ours practices nonspecific spiritual beliefs. Perhaps we will pray for them.
(Why not pray for someone who would actually want to be prayed for? They get to work.)
no subject
Praying for someone who'd appreciate it as prayer is a better idea than not. What's their name?
no subject
They aren't here, and the prayer is unlikely to help. But they do not know the spiritual beliefs of the majority of their allies.
It is, as stated, better to pray for someone who might appreciate prayer.
no subject
...
Oh and changing what she was doing around here. "So, you write it on there. Clap your hands and toss a pebble into the box, and then we pray about it."
no subject
Since, as far as they knew, Drifter was an actual job in their world.
They follow her instructions to the letter. Write, clap, toss the pebble, pray. It's probably an odd sight, for anyone familiar with the Geth.
no subject
no subject
It unlikely, they think, that they Drifter will come to see themselves as worthy of happiness. Still, they hope that they find as much joy as possible. They hope that even if their illness cannot be cured, they find ways to mitigate the pain it causes them.
They'd like to see them again someday. Them and their other friends they left behind on Enso.
They consider their memories. They think of more positive wishes, and ponder what things would bring their ally the most joy.
They think faster than most non mechanical beings can ever comprehend: millions of calculations performed every second, thoughts rushing by at the speed of light. And yet, when it is time to end the prayer, they still have not run out of thoughts.
