Spider infestation of Myouren Temple~
Iktomi's looking for a good space to indulge in his favorite trick- Phantom Spiderwebs. You know, the large invisible kind that everyone walks into in the middle of nowhere, especially where there shouldn't be spiderwebs?

Anyway, he notices something large and odd from the spirit plane, even for the Nexus.

Myouren Temple, to be exact. Although he doesn't know what it is yet.

Perfect!

He shifts into a small spider, drops off the spirit plane, and spins a web across the gate, shifts back to his normal form, then runs into some bushes and waits for the show.

Myouren temple is in full swing at the moment, the residents hard at work restoring the temple to how it should be. Iktomi's going to be thwarted the first few times someone goes by, because the gate isn't quite complete, so they just go through gaps in the wall with materials. Finally, after a few minutes a young, dog eared girl walks through the gate. Immediately upon walking through, she gives a startled yelp, and thrashes at the air. "AHHHHHHH!!! Get it off, get it off!"

Iktomi doubles over snickering, peeking through the bushes to see who got caught. Hee, hee, hardee, har... he's so thirteen years old.

Kyouko flails helplessly for a moment before running towards the temple, "MURASAAAAAA! Icky stuffs!"

Iktomi just snorts laughter into his palm.

.... He doesn't even make note of who Murasa might be. He changes back into a small spider and spins another web quickly to take the place of the other, walked-into one, then goes back to his hiding spot, changing back to his normal form. And waits.

Murasa is your doom, oh squishy one.

Murasa comes running back, following Kyouko. "What? What icky stuff?" She asks the girl, looking around.

"Over there! Icky Icky! Like sticky, but not!" Kyouko responds, pointing at the gateway.

Murasa ponders, looking around, and not seeing it, she walks into it, and freezes, flailing slightly. "Gah! There's some sort of spirit web here!"

"Eeep!" Iktomi cries in surprise, covering his mouth in shock, hoping he wasn't heard.

.... she could tell it was a spirit web? What?!

Kyouko didn't hear you, lucky for you, Iktomi. "See! I told you there was an Icky!"

Murasa grumbles, her face quite red as she brushes it away. "Somethings going on around here, and when I find whatever made this, I'm squishing it." She says, as she glares angrily and starts looking around for whatever might've made a web like that.

Iktomi stays put, shifting into a puff of smoke. Which sort of just hangs there behind the bush, innocuously.

After a moment of searching, Murasa parts the bush, and stares straight at Iktomi. She doesn't quite know what it is, but she does recognize that it's a presence. She yells back behind her, "Hey Kyouko. Go get that jar we keep Unzan in. If it can hold a spiritual cloud, it can hold a puff." She grins, staring closely at the smoke wisp.

"I'm a totem spirit," Iktomi says, staring at the stairs. Lots and lots of stairs... "I used to be a god, but that ended after a ... while."

Murasa eases up a bit on her prodding ways, and smiles a bit as she begins to ascend the stairs. "I take it you pissed off someone's bigger brother or something?" Her tone is less threatening, and more conversational.

"Yeah, more like the or something." Yikes, she figured that out. And, lots of stairs. He starts climbing the stairs after her.

"Well, at least you're alive. Can't say much for our previous patron." She nods to her self, and continues climbing. She looks back and grins. "Of course, now you're my slave." She says, half jokingly.

"....." Iktomi frowned. "Your previous patron is dead." Iktomi shivers. "And... slavery. Um. What kind of temple are you girls running here?"

"More specifically, our current goddess actually was the avatar of our patron, and He backstabbed her, and threatened her, and in a way betrayed us. Our bonds to each other were stronger then our loyalty to him. And she killed Him and took his powers. So she's our patron now." She says, climbing. "And as far as slavery, I'm joking. Now who needs a sense of humor? And actually, despite her being a war goddess, we're a very benevolent temple. She's a goddess of war and justice."

"Good, because being your slave comes as an extra once I know you better." Iktomi says, beginning to relax and joke around with her.

Murasa doesn't miss a beat. "Oh? Swing that way, do ya?" She grins.

"I'm not even pretending that title makes ANY sense," Iktomi said, shrugging his shoulders. "I think I met a few of them, they're all over the place. I gave the one that works at the bar my number. He seemed nice enough."

Ichirin nods. "They are, aren't they. They're all good people, at least. Not all of them are nice, but from what I met at the party at least they're good people."

"No group has one hundred percent nice people," Iktomi said matter-of-factly as he worked. "Even if they are all the same person. Good, well, good is relative to the observer."

Ichirin hefts her load over her shoulder, and continues walking. "Good itself isn't, what people perceive as good is relative." She corrects. "It's mortals that tend to pervert it."

Iktomi's own 'good' qualities are ambiguous at best, so he just grins. "Ah, yes, mortals. They're funny. They seem to spend an inordinate amount of time on deciding what is good, only to go against their own values when it doesn't serve their survival needs."

"Not all. Lady Toramaru, for example, never went against her values, and as such constantly endangered herself for our sakes. And Miss Byakuren herself is a pacifist, and allowed herself to be essentially killed by humans, despite herself being powerful enough to have saved herself. It is for those reasons, that they are leaders. Though they are few, granted, mortals have an astounding ability to defy their own nature, simply to live up to what the feel is a higher standard, or calling."
