Luke, Sunshine, Diadems / Raiden & Sekhmet

[mpxsekhmet]

@raidenxmp​

Sekhmet’s costume surely put a bit of distance between herself and other partygoers, with the wired skirt sticking out as she bobbed vigorously to the beat. As much as she knew she should be behaving herself at her first official event as city council member, she couldn’t hide the unamused look on her face, watching the crowd with a slightly irritated, if not condescending stare.

Her hair was done up in dramatic acid green plaids, embellished by bits of colorful confetti sticking out of the grooves. It was her little secret, her last source of joy for the evening, and with the reassurance that gave her, she settled a little better with a drink in hand, tasting the mischief and deceit thick in the liquid. Spiked? Some of the childish games the little ones come up with; oh, how she would hate that before. Now it was all quite amusing, and the change of mindset had her cruising by her new life here.

But what she needed was big fun. Adult fun. By adults she meant someone who was probably around her age. Where would she find that? “Some ball, eh?” She spoke seemingly to no one, but she had noticed the figure that lingered within her proximity, possibly thinking of the same thing. She wouldn’t try to guess, though. She tended to implant thoughts nastier than intended into the minds of others.

[raidenxmp]

Raiden, unpredictable and without going unnoticed like thunder, had already done his own, however, dancing (a poor attempt, to clarify), talking, and drinking didn't meet his expectations. Was he the only one left wanting more?

He left his empty glass on the tray and grabbed another one, he had lost count of how many of those he had had that night, but there was no need to keep track, right? The god directed his sight towards the voice, whoever spoke was also looking at him. A half smile formed on his lips, nodding. The ball didn't seem to come to an end soon, but he had done everything there was to do so far. "Are you enjoying yourself? As for me, I think I've done pretty much everything there is to do already. Do I sound hard to please?" The deity laughed, taking a seat next to her. Her attire was dramatic, colorful, and randomly coherent, impossible to overlook.

Raiden, after they pulled from the embrace, tipped his head to the side. “Catching me is an affair that rarely occurs. If you want to keep me for a while longer, I will accept a bribe.” The god smiled, a distinct hint of mischief in his voice. “I’m kidding. I did disappear for a while, but a good child always returns home,” he said with a chuckle. Good child? Debatable, and he knew it. “Regarding the bribe, I wasn’t kidding about that.”

His eyes went where she pointed. Raiden laughed softly while bringing a hand up to rub his chin. “I don’t see why not. I have to warn you that I play instruments and singing is not my forte.”

[inarimp]

“Oh that I know very well.” Inari’s voice was full of amusement, and the shadow of fox tails seemed to dance across the wall behind them. “There have been many time I raced across fields trying to catch the elusive thunder,”

“And here I would have never thought that all I needed to do was to offer a bribe,” Laughter in their voice, Inari loops their arm around the older god, already intent in steering him towards the private karaoke rooms. “And what shall I tempt you with? You know I keep the best sake in all the land. Even those that you haven’t tasted in an age I bet.”

Inari opens the door to the dimly lit karaoke room now, the cheerfully blinking TV beckoning. “That’s the thing, kami-sama. Karaoke doesn’t have anything to do with singing ability. But confidence.” Squeezing his arm, Inari tugs him into the room, their laughter ringing.

“Indulge this child and sing for me will you? I promise not to tell~”

[raidenxmp]

"As simple as that," Raiden said with a smile, his body moving without any resistance, and in a matter of a few steps, he was inside one of the private rooms Inari mentioned before. "You do have the best sake in the land. A taste of past times. How could I refuse?"

Confidence, he had enough of it. The Japanese god, who didn't lack conviction, still needed to understand the mechanism. He inspected the machine, handing the main device to her after finding a song. "The first one is for you, but the second one will have to be with you. That's my only condition." He grabbed the microphone, threw it slightly in the air, and it was back in his hand. Raiden couldn't simply sing, he would put on a whole show.

Open to: Anyone - multiple replies are okay! Plot: Our muses got stuck in an elevator (no power, poor maintenance, any reason is fine) and they don’t know each other yet so what a good time to introduce themselves while waiting to get rescued.

“It seems like we’ve got some time to kill so…” Raiden crossed his arms over his chest as he rested his back against the back panel of the elevator, “why don’t you tell me a little about yourself?” His eyes scanned the individual; he might have seen them before, but he had never shared a single word with them, that was for sure.

The thunder god was calm, however, the thought of being stuck in an elevator at such height was not comfortable at all; talking was the only option he had to make the wait less… torturous. “My name is Raiden. Originally Raijin but not even my mother calls me that anymore,” he said with a chuckle. “And you are…?” He asked, still paying attention to the little speaker where the help would communicate with them. In the meantime, they had to wait.

[mpxmaxim]

Maxim mirrored the other’s movement and sighed. It was just his luck to be stuck in an elevator within his first week at his new residence with a complete stranger. The son of Phobetor was about to interject, to claim that there was not much to tell about himself, to maybe even let him know that he liked being unknown by the majority of people. Instead, he just looked over and shrugged, “Maxim, I just recently arrived here.” 

If Maxim ever saw that other before, he certainly didn’t remember it. There was something different about the man called Raiden. Something about him seemed different, as if he was neither human nor demigod. He seemed…powerful compared to the other people Maxim has met in his short time here. None of them could match the energy that was radiating from his fellow elevator captive. Maxim usually wasn’t one to talk much—over the years he got used to letting his siblings do the talking but he knew it would be an awfully boring time to sit in silence and wait for help.  “You don’t really seem like any of the other people I’ve met. So, which god or goddess is your parent?” he paused briefly, “Or more importantly—what are your powers?”

[raidenxmp]

"Maxim," he repeated. A name he could remember. "It's always nice to have a new face around here." Raiden's lips curved up, and images of his first days on the island lurked in his memory, although time had passed since that moment. His eyes focused on the speaker when he believed he heard a noise, but no, the help was still conspicuous by its absence. The thunder god returned his attention to the other then. "Have you liked the island so far?"

Although Raiden's aspect didn't go unnoticed with his blonde hair, a few piercings, and a tattoo here and there from the many he has on his body, the island was big enough that they did not have the chance to meet before. Also, he had been surrounded by four walls for the past few weeks without social interaction, it was no surprise that this was their first encounter. However, being stuck in an elevator was not what he had planned for his day off.

The question went straight to the point, bluntly and without any sort of embellishment. Interesting yet highly appropriate. There was no room for misinterpretation or avoidance. Raiden was aware of that extra sense everyone had there, and he was no exception. "Oh, I see you want to know a little bit about my past," started Raiden. "My mother is the Japanese goddess of creation and death." And his mother's body was the one that gave him life. "My father, on the contrary, is the god of creation and birth." The god turned his head to look at the individual he was talking to and added, "As of myself, I can create thunders, lightning, and storms." Would it be easy to deduce that he was a deity from all the clues he had given him so far? He didn't like to talk much about himself, but he was the fruit of two gods, it was simple to solve the riddle. "Wouldn't it be fair if you also share something about yourself?"

[raidenxmp]

sweet voice ; @mpxcharlotte​

Expectant. Raiden was one of the several in the crowd waiting for the so acclaimed performance by the local band Hexed. To his surprise, they surpassed any unintentional expectation he had toward them; every band member had an indisputable charm, especially one that caught his attention. Her voice was pleasant to the ears and nutritious to the soul. The thunder god looked for a drink (non-alcoholic for now) to offer to the person on who he had set his sights on. Cautiously, he slipped through the people and finally found himself facing her.

"Hello." Raiden smiled softly. "Would you allow me to thank you for such a pleasant performance? Not just me but everyone enjoyed it. Although, I should speak for myself and tell you that I am fascinated with your voice." He paused for a moment, glancing at his hand. "Ah, also, this is for you," said the deity, handing her the drink.

Lacking grace ; @mp-kazuha​

Playing dress up once a year was exhilarating. This year his costume was more comfortable than the previous one, even with the extra adornment around his arm. A conversation here and there had kept him busy, but he needed to change his empty glass for a full one.

His eyes scanned around to spot the person holding a tray, and when he found them, he witnessed a little game of cat and mouse, although he was sure it was involuntary. The person kept walking around with the tray, going where they were called, and unintentionally ignored that one individual that was chasing them. Raiden chuckled softly, leaving his empty glass on the tray when it was next to him, and also, grabbed two glasses instead of one. The Japanese god walked closer to the one who had given up on a drink and handed her one of the glasses he took. "Here you go," said Raiden. "I saw you having fun on the dance floor. You must be thirsty." He smiled.

Mount Phoenix’s Hallow’s Eve Ball

This year, Raiden will attend the Hallow’s Eve Ball as Tsukiyama Shuu, the infamous Gourmet from Tokyo Ghoul. His communication skills had never been a problem, and with luck, he will make the most out of the event.

Open to: Anyone - multiple replies are okay! Plot: Your muse comes to Raiden's place in a rush (drunk, injured, needing help pf some sort, mad at him. Up to you!).

Living at the top of the Tengu apartments has more advantages than disadvantages. He liked noise, but only certain noises and living at the top provided control over that. His drums were quite loud and thunders... they speak for themselves.

After not having a proper schedule for a few weeks, he found himself adjusting his sleeping routine again since he had a new job, one he enjoyed, of course. Raiju heard the door, but Raiden didn't; the loud bark from his dog was what woke him up. "What's wrong?" The dog kept pulling his sleeve for him to leave the bed, and he didn't have any saying due to his will and strength.

The banging on his door confused him, nevertheless, he opened it. Words were thrown in his direction, loudly and incoherently. There was no chance for the thunder deity to speak until he raised his voice. "It's 4 a.m., and you're fucking yelling at me! I can't do anything if you don't calm down."

@mpxyanluo​ continued from here

He removed his sight from what he was doing and observed the three dogs who eyed the food intensively. They were eager to eat whatever they had on each plate, their wagging tails and pleading eyes amused him. The dogs didn't fail to make him laugh, yet, he returned his attention to the bandaid he was about to place over the cut. "Just let me adjust this and, I will be done. The food getting cold shouldn't be our biggest concern when we have three beasts waiting for us to get distracted," he said with a chuckle. Although he was not someone who knew how to take care of injuries, a small cut was easy to treat. "All done. See? It was quick." The Japanese god smiled, proud of the work done, and returned to his seat. "Ready to eat?"

raidenxmp​:

fluffy trio.

[…] The stranger that greeted him from a spot on the grass gave him a feeling of familiarity. The god glanced up to observe his features and he remembered seeing him a couple of times in the park before but they had never crossed paths or any word. “Nice to meet you. I’m Raiden and this is-” He looked around, his dog was already running after a squirrel. “That one is Raiju.”

“Ah. I’ve seen that one around plenty, he’s magnificent. A bit hard to miss him. Or you. Don’t see a shock of hair like that everyday.”

Yanluo’s gaze follows Raiju, ever fond of a big, loyal pup. His own—a dreadfully jealous pair—quickly scramble into his space. Niutou crawling from his hiding space just to lay over Yanluo’s hip. Mamian at his head like a giant, furry white crown. The god, who bears no small frame, is practically covered by the samoyeds.

A couple of big babies, they are.

“This one,” Yanluo points above his head. “Is Mamian. And her god-fearing, dimwitted twin brother is Niutou.” He pats the black samoyed’s belly. “He’s always for sale, tell me if you change your mind. I’m sure Raiju could use a friend…and I could use a break.”

At the light command, the dogs prance off into the lush grass, joining Raiju in his rodent chasing endeavors. Choosing to regain his propriety, Yanluo rolls up into a sitting position, pushing his shades above his brow. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Raiden. I’m Yanluo. Since the children are playing so kindly, sit. Humor me in a some light chatter, if you will.”

The god is already grabbing an ice cold thermos from thin air and a small teacup, pouring a serving of the sweet and refreshing drink to offer Raiden with a nod. “It’s just tea, pomegranate actually. Sadly, I can’t have wine before noon.”

[raidenxmp]

Raiden laughed, he hadn't been aware of their appearance, but after the mention of the color of his hair and turning to see the size of his dog, it was easy to understand why the deity had spotted them before with such ease. Also, he found it peculiar how opposite they looked, he was fascinated with the elegant bearing of those two black Samoyeds, and there he was, with his blond hair and his white and blue-eyed companion. "You have an excellent point."

The thunder god wanted to present his dog properly as well, but he... He was not paying attention. "Mamian and Niutou. You've got your hands full, I must say, and Raiju will be happy to have a friend-” He paused. “Two friends who can keep up with his energy because I surely can't." Given his dog's size and nature, Raiden was far behind in his ability to run. The two Samoyeds were welcomed around him, and his demeanor showed some interest in playing without any resistance. In the meantime, Raiden sat down, taking off his light jacket to wrap it around his waist.

Tea. It was one of his favorite drinks par excellence. He came from a culture where tea predominated over any other beverage. "I won't say no to tea. Thank you." He smiled, taking the teacup, feeling the cold liquid down his throat once he took a sip. Very refreshing. "Also, when it comes to wine, I'm not a connoisseur, I'm afraid I do not know how to appreciate it as it should be so tea is my preference." He chuckled.

I rise with the sun

continued from here with @raidenxmp 

“Apologies,  nii-sama,” Amaterasu was all sheepish smiles, catching Raiden’s actions before she appeared. “I would not have roused you from your bed so early if it weren’t important.” 

The first rays of dawn were just peeking over the horizon, and that was the only reason why Amaterasu was fully awake. Already the sun was reaching out to greet her, as if yearning for that connection, albeit they had just been parted a few hours. 

In reality, it would have probably made more sense if she had asked the help of her twin with regards to matters about their energies, but seeing as how she was not in the position to ask Tsukuyomi anything just yet, she resorted in seeking the guidance of somebody else. And perhaps it would make sense to ask Raiden, for he was the elder of them all. 

“It is just that I have felt something amiss with my abilities. Of which I would like to test with you. Seeing as how my powers are not directly tied with yours, it might help me determine the cause of the anomaly.” She gives a bow of apology, just as the sun’s rays full bathe the sky in a golden hue. The day starting. 

“Would you help me, brother?”

[raidenxmp]

Just as he had sensed, it was not an ordinary visit, and it was not merely to observe the sun rising above them. Raiden listened to her sister attentively, intrigued by the anomaly she mentioned. Also, it was right to say that their abilities were not connected directly; was he connected to any of his siblings' abilities even? Fujin, maybe.

"I will gladly help you, Ama." Raiden smiled, nodding to confirm his willingness to assist her. "I'm all ears. What do you need me to do?" He stood up, leaving his drums on the ground and resting his hands on his hips. Before judging too quickly whether this anomaly in her powers was positive or negative, it was most reasonable to wait for her to run whatever tests she deemed necessary.
