[ There's someone out in the gardens today. Not that people would be, and maybe there would even be some doing as she does, but this one seems to have a strange presence about her, one that gives a feeling at the pit of the stomach about something bad...

But nothing about her actions seem to to give reason for this feeling. No, not unless there's something really awful about the green-haired young woman taking an interest in the snow. She takes steps crunching her boots into it, a playful smile on her face as she does, and even takes it up into her hands to feel and watch the clumps fall down from it.

Or maybe she isn't doing that at all. Maybe your character happens to be out, minding their own business, when they feel someone watching them- or have that odd feeling come over them. Maybe if they look, kept away, they will see her taking an interest in what they're doing. Carrying bags? Playing in the snow (themselves)? Or just walking? Whatever it may be, Hina is always watching. ]

... I have to ask. Why do you want something so terrible, anyways?

[miserytaker.livejournal.com]

Because taking the tragedies of humans is what I do. In that way, I can help them along in their lives.

[bluetruths.livejournal.com]

... Wait a sec--are you calling yourself a Goddess?

[miserytaker.livejournal.com]

Some call me that... but what matters most is that I'm someone who helps humans. With the gods, I can send away all misfortunes that haunt mortals.

[bluetruths.livejournal.com]

... Got it. That's... pretty impressive, I gotta say. Though, it's too bad. I need to face my own misfortune head on, without any help. It's part of a promise I made to someone.

[miserytaker.livejournal.com]

Oh... perhaps another time?

[bluetruths.livejournal.com]

... Do you really want it that badly?

[miserytaker.livejournal.com]

Yes - to ease the hearts of all mortals brings me great happiness!

[bluetruths.livejournal.com]

... Heh, when you say it like that, it makes me wanna take up your offer, after all.

[miserytaker.livejournal.com]

Have you ever sent adrift a Nagashi-bina doll?

[bluetruths.livejournal.com]

You mean the dolls that represent a wish for marriage? Nope. Can't say I have.

[miserytaker.livejournal.com]

You send a doll down a river to take your misfortune and tragedies away, and I will be there to take them when they come.

I can do the same here. That way, you and others can always be assured that I will be there for you.

[bluetruths.livejournal.com]

I'll keep that in mind. ... Maybe I'll take you up on that offer sometime.

[miserytaker.livejournal.com]

Please do. Tell others they can do the same as well - I want to start helping troubled mortals as soon as I can in this new place.

[bluetruths.livejournal.com]

You must have asked others though by now, haven't you?

[miserytaker.livejournal.com]

I've tried... but I don't like to get too close.

[bluetruths.livejournal.com]

Why's that?

[miserytaker.livejournal.com]

I can cause more good than harm if I get too close. I might already be doing so for you...

[bluetruths.livejournal.com]

... Wait a sec--weren't you trying to do more good than harm in the first place?

[miserytaker.livejournal.com]

I am... but in case, maybe you should send me a doll...

[ But she's taking a step back now, considering where the conversation is. ] I don't want to take chances, so I should leave for now.
