[divus]

[Up the hill, and the shrine's in sight.]

Lady Love has told me many stories about this place. I'm not at all surprised she managed to capture its feeling perfectly. [He pauses outside of the shrine to crouch down to Antoinette.]

Be respectful. This is a very special place. [The dog woofs in agreement.]

[usogi]

[ . . . moe

senri might bring up his phone to gently snap a photo]

[divus]

[He doesn't notice. He just kisses the dog's nose before standing up to lead them all inside.]

Shall we? I don't think the fox is here, so we'll have time to ourselves.

[usogi]

Konkon's not around? Ah, I'll just have to feed him later then.

[but he'll pocket his phone and then reach for tamaki's hand as they approach the shrine]

Okay - time to make wishes for the new year!

[they're like

months late]

[divus]

Most likely he's with Lady Love. [He takes Senri's hand and they approach the shrine. Tamaki's...going to immediately kneel in front of the offering box, tugging Senri with him.]

Do you know what you'll wish for?

[usogi]

[tugged!

senri just hums softly]

... good health and happiness for my friends, I suppose?

[divus]

I like that wish. I think...the same, though also prosperity? For those wishes you've all been trying to reach.

[usogi]

Mm! Success, definitely. Maybe I'll get to be in even more shows this year...

What do you want for yourself, Tama-chin?

[divus]

...a few things. But I'm sure I'll get them with time.

[usogi]

[softly, but certainly:]

I'm sure they'll come to you.

Maybe the universe can just help you out a little bit with a prayer.

[divus]

I think so. I'd like to ask the universe for many things, but I'll be happy with what I deserve.

[usogi]

Well, you deserve the world and more anyway.

[EASILY]

[divus]

Isn't that what I should be saying to you? [But he's looking at the offering box.] Then that's my wish. For our happiness.

[usogi]

[and senri's just going to laugh quietly]

I think I can agree with that.

To a good new year!

[divus]

Good health, good luck, and a good new year. [There's the sound of coins falling into the box because...Tamaki.]

What a wonderful wish...[He sits back a little.] I think it can happen though.

[usogi]

[nice, senri didn't bring coins

but senri will just offer up a smile]

Me too.

You'll have to come back here with the rest of the gods when the new year actually hits so you can all make wishes together.

[divus]

That will require Lady Love to recreate this place at the end. Do you suppose she would?

[usogi]

Maybe...?

Even if she doesn't - a shrine that you could all create together.

... with Love's guidance.

[he tried to think of indulgence creating a shrine and what he thinks it should look like and it was bad]

[divus]

Lady Love would probably enjoy being the head of that project. I'll have to ask her.

[usogi]

You should! I think it'd be nice... I'm not sure what the new world is going to look like yet, but I'm sure it'll be beautiful.

Especially since you're all getting along better, too.

[divus]

We don't know either. I believe we'll be making it from scratch when we finish this game, so it can be a little bit of anything.

But it'll be nice if we're all together, I think. Things have changed.
