Someone new appeared in the living room, sitting cross legged in a chair while they read what looked like a newspaper, a fairly normal scene if the newspaper hadn’t been floating mid air in front of their raised hand. Their two toned eyes paused and flitted up from skimming the headlines as they noticed the change in their surroundings. They blinked a couple of times with a quiet “Hmm,” before sending the paper the land on the table and summoning a book from one of the shelves with a simple wave of their hand, not bothering to move from the chair. The book hovered before them, blank pages flipping before the blinker waved it back to the shelf, head tilted slightly. “Odd,” they commented to no one in particular before summoning the newspaper again, seemingly unconcerned by their current situation. |

Myrnin | Living Room | --cato phoenixPotentially to no one's surprise, it was Myrnin who blinked in. He appeared holding a small candle, gripped between a thumb and index finger. He squinted at it for a couple of seconds before he carefully squinted past it to see the figure beyond. "Oh, hello. Who are you?" He was a bit curious. They must have been here before if they were just reading nonchalantly. He walked a bit over to a table and set the candle down. It balanced on its tip with a temptation every second or so to fall. He didn't explain what it was for. |

Amaterasu | Living Room, somewhere in the halls | mintedstar/fur Architecture unlike her homeland. Smells that exist in one moment and vanish in the next. Wood that never changes with age nor damage. It was something the white wolf had never expected to see again. The red-marked canine stood at the mouth of a hall with countless doors. How long had it been since she last laid eyes on this endless hall or the couches behind her? There was no rhyme or reason to her return.
But that's just how the house was.
Ammy wagged her tail and turned around a few times to take in all the sights again. Her excited panting conveyed what she was at a loss for words for. It was like returning home, or perhaps returning to an old friend, despite how chaotic this place was.

Kid | Living Room | tinybreezeThere was a moment of held breath - and then another figure appeared. A tangle of limbs and white before standing up. A bit stiff and surprised. Looking around. Eyes wide. Back! Again. What the heck? He noticed Ammy first and Kid's expression broke into a grin. This - this was amazing. "Hey!" he half exclaimed and half breathed. "It's you!" He felt like he hadn't seen her since he was a child. Sure, he didn't look much older, but all in all, a lot of time had past. Wow. "Are you back for good this time? How are you? What's been happening? Have you been okay?" It felt like an amazingly long string of questions. |

Just a second after his voice reached her, Ammy bounded over to the magician and jumped up onto him, restraining herself enough to only get a few licks in. He looked different now, but he was still the same old Kid. She herself hadn't changed much - she was fully grown, still at full radiance, and still having that dog-like attitude despite her status. "I hope so! I've been good, life's been peaceful, my son's busy on adventures now but I've had a friend watching over him, oh I've missed you and everyone else..." She stopped herself before she could ramble too much. "And what of you? I've seen many a human change over the years, and you're no different. And what about the others in the House? How are they doing?" |

Kid | Living Room | tinybreezeKid's eyebrows shot up. "You have a son?" he asked. He was surprised. He didn't think he'd ever heard this mentioned. But it seemed right - Ammy seemed the sort to take care of small children - or wolf-like gods - well. "I think they're doing well," he admitted. "Some have come and some have gone." A frown. "Some have died." Unavoidable really. Life happened. He just didn't like that there was nothing he could do about it. "Me? I'm ... alright. Confused about myself, but when was that new." He shrugged and grinned, though there was a sense the grin was hiding the actual angst behind it. "Any plans now you're back?" |

"I do, he's grown up some but he's still a puppy," Ammy replied with a laugh. "I think I've only talked about Chibiterasu once or twice." The news about the others was... expected. Ammy was likely not the first to vanish almost entirely, and death - through the house or otherwise - was an inevitability for many. Even she wasn't immune to that. She was incredibly lucky to have gained a second chance at life years ago.
"I hope they can rest in peace now, although there's little use in dwelling on it. More importantly, I'm not sure what happened to you in the time I was gone, but you seem to be holding on just fine. I won't pry, but you're welcome to talk about it if you ever wish to," she said, bowing her head. The only thing that gave her a loss for words now was... what did she want to do now? She sat down and thumped her tail against the ground. "I'm not certain. Perhaps catch up everyone, or maybe delve into another section of this place. There's little else to accomplish in this House - although that doesn't mean it's boring in the slightest."

Kid | Living Room | tinybreeze (Sorry if I poof between home and work and sleep. :') ) It wasn't boring, that was right. But Kid found himself distracted enough that he almost dismissed Ammy's open offer all together. It had started to become second nature to say no - to say he was fine or he'd take care of it on his own. Only for him to bit down on the words. Think. "You're a god ... right?" He sat down on a chair and chewed at his lip for a second. Eventually, he asked, "What's that like?" It wasn't his question having to do with himself. But it brought out a small crack that could certainly offer a window to it. "I'd ... love to hear more about you and your son." Leading, in a way, but maybe something Ammy was willing to talk about. |

Amaterasu | Living Room | mintedstar/fur (no problem lol, life be busy) Ammy tilted her head. She wasn't quite sure what brought him to ask that question, but there was no harm in answering. It was rare that she got to talk about her life to someone who wasn't Waka or Issun or the other gods.
"As of now, being a god is relaxing now that my world has regained peace. The Celestial Plain where I live is restored. It's a bit lonelier than a human life. I have friends up there, but I don't always have the luxury to descend to the earth and roam around like I did years ago. Despite that, there's comfort in knowing others believe in me. I don't know about other worlds, but gods in my world feel the prayers of people down below. It's what gives us strength," Ammy explained. She rested her head on the arm of the chair.
"That's not so say it's always an easy life - demons are a threat, and I've lost my life to a powerful being in the past. But I'd do it again to protect everyone."
She huffed.
"Now I'm getting gloomy. You wanted to hear about Chibiterasu too, right? He's still a pup, but he's made close friends with human - and otherwise - children. He spends more time on the earth than not. It's important for him. Even if I didn't insist on him going down to learn and solve some problems, he'd probably visit on his own. I'm proud of him." Those words carried both warmth and a hint of worry. Even if Chibi was a god, she still was his mother at the end of the day.

Kid | Living Room | tinybreezeKid patiently listened, but it seemed like he was searching for a specific sort of answer just as much as he was interested in Ammy's story. It took the wolf finishing before he murmured softly, "You died?" He sounded both worried and curious. "So does that mean you aren't immortal or ...?" There was a touch to that word - a strange one. But never mind it. It was probably nothing. "And your son ... does he only interact with children? Why?" There were a lot of details, by the sound of it, to Ammy's life that he'd never bothered to ask about. He had one that wasn't related so some deep held tightness ... "Who ... if it isn't personal ... was his father?" |

Amaterasu | Living Room | mintedstar/fur "I'm immortal in the sense that I can potentially live forever, but I can still die. It's only from a ritual that I was able to come back to life," Ammy replied. The way Kid said that word made her even more curious - was he wondering about someone's mortality? Questions, questions. She could probably move on.
"Chibiterasu has run into a lot of people, but he has a knack for finding other kids. It's good for him to be making friends roughly his age. Some can even understand him, too. They're always helping him out, so I'm glad." Even if a god, Chibi was still a child. He needed friends outside the other godly children. "As for his father..."
She grinned.
"That's for me to know and you to find out."
It was said teasingly. Chibi's parentage was a mystery to many and it was amusing to keep it that way. Regardless, there were clearly no sour feelings about it.

Kid | Living Room | tinybreezeKid found the edges of his mouth twitching at Ammy's little secret. "Is it something even possible to find out," he teased. Then he shook his head. It was alright. He didn't need to know. Even still, the story of Ammy's son was cute. He just wasn't sure if the slight disappointment from her answer about her answer about her immortality. He wasn't sure if he succeeded. "Should we go into a room?" he asked after a while. |

Amaterasu | Living Room | mintedstar/fur "Ah, I thought you'd never ask." Ammy stood up and shook her fur. She had a feeling whatever Kid was thinking about, he still hadn't come across an answer. That was fine. Personal, secret questions like that would come out with time or not at all. It was how it was. She padded out towards the hall. As usual, the doors were a mystery. There wasn't any rhyme or reason to where a door would lead. Even the same door would go to a different place. Thus, she didn't have to go far to survey her options.
"Let's see... This smells sweet... this smells smoky... this smells... like seaweed?" She was unsure about that last door she bumped her nose against. The scents were faint, that was for sure, but even the ones she recognized were sure to be thrown off. Ultimately, Kid would be the one choosing which of the endless doors to open. Having no opposable thumbs was a downfall of a wolf body.

Kid // Living Room // tinybreeze There was no hesitation to avoid the seaweed smelling room. One would think Kid had a fear of water. But no, just what was in it. His hand landed on the door Ammy had said smelled sweet, fully aware the House could shuffle around the rooms and the door choice didn't really matter at all. Even still, he was at least willing to try. He pushed down the door handle, opened it, and then headed through, expecting Ammy to follow. The room didn't look like it should have smelled sweet. It looked like the gated entrance to a dump, actually. Kid saw a couple broken chairs, miscellaneous bags, and bare dirt, stretching out into piles. Not a good look and certainly not sweet. |

Amaterasu | Junk Room | mintedstar/fur "Smells aren't everything... but there is something here, I know it..." Ammy padded in and started sniffing around. It didn't smell horrible, all things considered. The house was polite enough to not make the place smell rotten. It was mostly rust and old wood, but that sweet smell still remained. Something under one of the piles of stuff and dirt. Ammy pawed away some of the bags in a larger pile to reveal... some metal box? It had glass windows and was leaking some kind of sweet-smelling liquid.
Naturally, as a wolf god from ancient Japan, Ammy had no idea what a car or antifreeze was. So she just stared in complete bewilderment at the large weird rusty box.

Kid // Junk Room // tinybreezeKid reached forward to grab Ammy by her scruff and pull her back. Something he wasn't sure he could do, considering her size and the weakness in his hands due to his past injuries, but he hadn't paused to think about that. Nor had he paused to think about it actually being something he'd never done before. He never had, but he saw Ammy as being in immediate danger, so there wasn't really a point in over-thinking it. "Don't drink that!" A worrying idea after they'd just talked about her dying. |

Amaterasu | Junk Room | mintedstar/fur Ammy yelped in surprise as she was grabbed by the scruff and dragged away. It wasn't painful or anything, but the action stunned her for a few moments. She stared at the puddle of fluid as she held her front paws close to her chest.
"Oh, is it poisonous?" she finally asked. She was calm about it, more of a dull surprise than fear. She wanted to say she would have been fine but... to be honest, she'd probably have gotten tempted enough to taste it. It smelled that nice. What kind of poison smelled like that? Berries maybe. Now she was getting on a tangent.
"You can let go now," Ammy said, getting back to the situation at hand. "I've never seen anything like this. Is it part of a machine? It would be dreadful to drink something that was inside one."

Kid // Junk Room // tinybreeze"Even the smallest amount," Kid said, his hand already twinging enough that he had to let Ammy go. He clutched at it as soon as he did, wincing and rubbing along a couple lines of scars while eyeing both his companion and the car. He nodded. "Yes," he said. "It's part of the machine." He waited a second, than looked around and indicated a bit of clear ground a couple steps away. "Maybe best to wait over there?" It wasn't like he didn't trust Ammy, it was just that he wasn't really sure he was willing to think about what had nearly happened with that close of an inspection. |

Amaterasu | Junk Room | mintedstar/fur Ammy shook her neck fur and firmly planted her front paws on the ground. She hadn't been grabbed like that in ages. Kid's actions after that were more concerning though. She gave his hand a quick sniff once she was free. It didn't smell like blood or anything. Just what looked like an old injury. She took a few moments to make sure Kid had recovered before reluctantly padding over to the spot he had noted. Well, that was fine. She could watch from back here.
She laid down with her head up and alert. The room held many old and broken objects. It was shocking to see this much waste. Where had it all come from?
"What was that machine, by the way?" she asked, as Kid clearly knew what was in it and thus likely what it was for. "There's a lot of rusty objects in this room, but that's the most complex one."

Kid // Junk Room // tinybreezeKid noticed the sniffing and gave a slight, wane smile. "I'm fine. I promise." It wasn't like there was anything else to be done about the past injuries. It just was what it was. He did look over the machine though. It just seemed to be a regular car. He walked over to where Ammy was and glanced back, just to confirm again that the car hadn't grown wings from its rotting husk when he hadn't been looking. Then, to Ammy, he said, "A car. Or it was a car." He wasn't sure what else to say about it. Instead, he said to Ammy, "Should we continue exploring?" |

Amaterasu | Junk Room | mintedstar/fur "A car? I saw some wheels when I got close, so it must move around like a cart. Do humans from your world use them?" Ammy asked as she stretched and stood up. She wagged her tail at the mention of exploring more. There had to be more to this place than just random piles of stuff.
She eagerly led the way along a less cluttered section of the room. The piles of junk stretched for what seemed like miles... Actually, had she passed by that wrench already? Everything was starting to look the same so soon into their venture. It was uncanny. There were definite landmarks like the wrecked car that somehow appeared again but also new items that would pop in out of nowhere. A ceramic rabbit. Half of a chair. A bag of squishy fruity-smelling treats? She was tempted to eat it but she didn't want to give Kid another heart attack by accident.
"I'm... not sure if we're lost or not."
