[There's a bird guy perched on a railing outside of Hikawa Shrine-- that much is visible to the feed. He's fiddling with a glove-covered hand that doesn't appear to be moving, and then glances at the Warp Band.]

So I guess all the earthquakes and the tunnels taught some of you some important things. I know at least one group met someone believed to be the Savior. Were there any other significant events? I wasn't along, so I'm trying to catch up.

[In the meantime, Ankh appears to have learned how to cook. While a lot of what he makes tends to be sweet or cold or both, it's given him something to do and it's given him a way to help out around the Shrine, even if he'd never admit to that purpose. With Eiji having been seven kinds of out of sorts after his return from the tunnels, he's made a small container full of what look like mochi balls. They're crude and potentially too-sweet, but they're something.]

[They're also being balanced atop the pile that Eiji has become in his room, now that they no longer share one.]

Oi.

[Anyone else in or around the Shrine is free to catch him on his way to present these to his depressed lizard.]

[Out of sorts was a good way to put it. The experience in the tunnels had been ...something to say the least. There was nothing quite like being put in a situation where he'd had every bit of the powered he'd begun taking for granted, ripped out of his hands and then see how completely powerless and useless he was in the face of a threat that was killing people right before his eyes.]

[He still remembers the look that soldier had given him before the ground swallowed him up. The fear and horror. Nothing- he couldn't do anything.]

[So maybe he wasn't making it worse by allowing himself to mope. It was hard to shake himself out of the way that whole thing had made him feel. He didn't like it.]

[So of course his Pokemon had taken to surrounding him. Even the more ornery ones could see that his distress was a big enough deal to put differences aside and hope that maybe he would snap out of it.]

[He glances up as Ankh sets the contain on his side. He didn't even hear him come in. He blinks for a moment and then looks at the container, and then back at him with a curious expression.]

Video.

It was terrible!

[ Birds. Birds EVERYWHERE. ]

[Rei saw the broadcast, and figured someone else would help her obnoxious bird-houseguest, but she's sort of noticed that Ankh has been cooking. And that Eiji has been having a hard time with all this. She hasn't talked to either of them, as she'd immediately left the city for at least two days herself. The Volcano had helped though, all that fire...]

What's that, Ankh?

[She also seems to have accepted your ass enough to have dropped the honorific.]

[future_sight]

[ It's uncommon for Nozomi to look a bit listless when coming to the shrine. She moves more out of muscle memory than real motivation, making an offering at the alter and standing there for a good long time, hands together and head bowed in prayer.

She doesn't even notice a certain bird there at first. Usually she's the one sneaking up on people; Nozomi jumps, turning quickly to face him. ]

Oh, Ankh. I didn't know you were there. Whatcha up to?
