[Amaterasu appears on the Plane, along with quite a few seemingly random items. There's quite an assortment--an ornate lacquered tea set, a carved wooden bear, a necklace of glass beads, a beautiful porcelain vase, a set of zodiac statuettes (all with markings similar to Amaterasu's), a metal incense burner, a chunk of glittering quartz, a large pearl, and some elegant pottery.]

[Amaterasu looks over the treasures with a somewhat disgruntled look on her face.]

Fine time for the merchant to leave. What am I supposed to do with all these things?

[lamb_of_gold]

Quite a collection.

[May or may not have been attracted by all the shiny stuff]

Ehh! Pretty~!

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Hello, Mu! It is, isn't it? I find these during my travels. Usually I can just sell them, but the merchant had to return to Sei-an for supplies. I really have no use for things like this.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah, I suppose they are! I don't really have any use for them, though.

[lamb_of_gold]

Well, I suppose you could always give them to the people you meet on your travels.

[Pause, then Shiro points to the necklace]

Amat-... [Trails off. LONG NAME IS HARD TO REMEMBER OKAY]

Ama could wear it?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

I try to! Though they don't usually want them, either. Mostly I just sell them so I can buy other things.

[Smiles at the new nickname.] I could, I suppose, but it would look a bit silly, I think.

[Henrietta is staring in awe at the zodiac statuettes, still huggling her violin case.]

[unitarded.livejournal.com]

Ama is shiny. Necklace is shiny.

Go together!

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Laughs.] I suppose we do, perhaps!

Ah, but, would you like one of these things, Shiro?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Hello again, Henrietta. Are you adjusting well?

[lamb_of_gold]

Leave them by bedsides then. Everyone appreciates an anonymous gift.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Um. Y-yes, Signorina.

[unitarded.livejournal.com]

Shiro can have one?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah! I like that idea~ You come up with very good ideas, Mu~~

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Certainly!

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Headtilt.] Ah, I meant to ask before--what is that case you are carrying? [Can smell the gunpowder, but she really means the case itself. THE SHAPE IS WEIRD.]

[unitarded.livejournal.com]

[Enthusiasm! She thinks it over for a sec', then points at the necklace again]

Shiro have that?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Looks down at it, then back at Amaterasu, flushing a little.] J-just my violin.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Absolutely, if you want it! [Picks it up carefully in her teeth and carries it over to Shiro.]

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

What is a violin?

[lamb_of_gold]

Why thank you, my lady.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[...stares for a second.] Um. Just a musical instrument.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

You are welcome!

Hm, but--would you like any of these things?
