Characters: Izanami and YOU!
Setting: The graveyard
Format: Starting in commentspam, but I will shift!
Summary: Izanami is a goddess of death. It's only natural she care for the graves that have appeared.
Warnings: Izanami is her own warning.

[A graveyard. Perhaps it's only natural she care for it. She can't serve as the goddess of Yomi here, but she can make sure the graves remain tended. So she's slowly making her rounds today, humming an old song as she dusts off graves and disposes of any dead and withered flowers brought up from the meadow floor. She's easily approachable, and may even seem like a ghost with her pale coloring! Do you dare approach?]

I'm guessing you're new here, then. I am Izanami-no-mikoto. Or just Izanami.

[She'll now slightly to be polite. Only she could have cheerful conversation in a graveyard.]

[risingshepard]

That I am. I got here only a month ago.

Alia Shepard. A pleasure, Izanami...even if it could've been under better circumstances.

[She'll offer a handshake. It was something she made a habit out of when introducing herself.]

[thousandcurses]

A pleasure to meet you, Shepard-san. ...Well, as much of a pleasure as it can be, given where we are.

[She's not talking about the graveyard. Also, Izanami will shake her head.]

You'll have to forgive me. Shaking hands is something I reserve for, ah... Special awakenings.

[risingshepard]

[It's not hard to guess that she isn't.

She lowers her hand, raising a brow at the goddess. Something about that last sentence doesn't sit right with her.]

What's a handshake got to do with that?
