03. Action for Demeter

[fatherandsun]

[It's been a few days since Goku left for camp and Konzen was hilariously transformed into a beautiful statue. As the days ticked by without his realizing, something happened. Somewhere, somehow, someone decided to allow him the honour of experiencing the joys of camping, and so with a crackle and a crunch, Konzen's statue sheds its stone and the God tumbles to the ground, gasping in shock as he has no idea how he's gotten outside or why. As common as it was for his aunt to troll him back in Heaven, it never ceased to infuriate him. He looked about, seeking answers and finding none though the nearby cabin he seemed to have been a statue close by did seem a much better place than the little clearing he'd been standing in.

And a bird had been putting nesting material on his head. That had to go.

He stretched, groaning and trying to ignore the rising fury in the back of his mind as he approached the cabin... but as his high-heeled sandal caught the edge of a tree root and he tumbled to the ground in a lump of awkward God, he let out a cry of frustration that startled the birds from the trees.

Nature, he decided while pulling grass and twigs from his long hair, was best viewed from a distance on even the best of days.]

Whoever did this to me is going to pay for it! This is unacceptable and absolutely preposterous, not to mention ridiculous! A statue! I was a statue! Of all of the unforgivable, irritating pranks!!

[His prissy-fit has been unleashed. Cower all from the out-of-shape God in grass-stained silk.]

Good luck to you. It is not nearly so easy as you think. The castle can change the landscape of the world, after all. That is testament to its power.

[fatherandsun]

Well here is a testament to my power: I won't let it toy with me!

[wishmadeinfire]

It is refreshing, meeting someone with a bit of fight left in them when it comes to the Castle's games.

[fatherandsun]

I've had enough of being toyed with. I was nearly killed when I finally stood against it in Heaven. There is no repercussion I fear in standing against that I do not tolerate.

[wishmadeinfire]

I am guessing you are either a warrior of some kind or nobility from your world?

[fatherandsun]

I'm a God of high status but only because of birth. My job is to essentially okay or deny changes to locations. Taking inventory. Along those lines.

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[On his side he is raising a brow at the 'God' term, but... well, stranger things.]}

Well, at least you have some responsibility.

[fatherandsun]

Some.

[He 's glad to have avoided the argument. To be honest, he didn't feel much different from others. His strength certainly wasn't anything amazing.]

Most of it is in looking after a monkey.

[wishmadeinfire]

A... monkey?

[fatherandsun]

His name is Goku. Do you know him?

[wishmadeinfire]

I think I have heard of him, but I have never met him.

[fatherandsun]

I'm sure you will eventually.

[He pulls some more twigs from his hair. That bird nest refuses to go quietly.]

[wishmadeinfire]

Perhaps. You eventually met everyone in this Castle. I am Ashura, for what it is worth.

[fatherandsun]

Ashura. I am Konzen Douji. Should we meet beyond the confines of the pages, I would speak with you again. I prefer faces to speak to.

[wishmadeinfire]

As do I. Certainly I am around the camp and I stay around the Castle.

_{[ooc: lol, he could run into ashura by the lake if he wants.]}
