tanabata wish-granting!

[goen]

Hey Recolle! Boba here, mentioning that Yato will be stealing the Tanabata tree at the Community Center so that he can hoard all the slips people put up and grant some wishes as Recolle's self-appointed neighborhood god. You're welcome??

Info on the tree is detailed here by Minako. If your character would've put up a wish (especially a... realistic wish...) then Yato will be doing his best to make it come true! He is here to be your bootleg Tanabata Santa.

Just drop a comment below with your character's wish and we can get talking! We can handwave the wish happening (especially if your character left no identification on the wish slip) or thread it out if you like. Heck, even if the wish isn't grantable, I'd love to know what everyone put up on the tree for kicks. And who knows, maybe Yato can figure out some kind of halfway resolution...

[glaciers]

'I'd like to make more friends.'

He did remember to sign it.

[goen]

Textbook example of be careful what you wish for

[accordance]

[ In a neat, fountain-pen inked handwriting: ]

Bring her back.

[ It's signed with Lucian's initials so Yato can totally bother him about it ]

[complementing]

clutches heart LUCIAN..............

[complementing]

Minako wrote two!

I wish for the strength and perseverance to face everything that may come my way.

and

I wish I could get a day off from all my responsibilities and let someone take care of me for once.

[goen]

He's got u girl

I hope minako enjoys aggressive commandeering of her life

[frisyr]

I wish for blue to return

And

I wish for a lot of people to come celebrate my 20th birthday*

*His birthday is August 1st but I'm on hiatus until the seventh so there will be a backdated log. But he's worried cause it's a big one for him and he doesn't have very many friends :'(

[goen]

omg emil...

so what if yato stalks emil for a while and takes note of all his NPC friends and acquaintances...

and then

gently blackmails/extorts/scams a bunch of them into going to emil's birthday party LMAO

[appraiser]

Is that the face of a god...................
Both my characters are wish slip hoarders so. IDK.

Ryoji:
I wish for my mother to get better
I wish Mikoto would come back
I wish Jade gets to enjoy a lot of Superman ice cream this summer
I wish I could go back one last time with Akira
I wish Minako finds her brother
I wish Aki finds somewhere safe to live
I wish Yato and I could become friends
I wish I could be like this forever

greedy mofos

LET'S SEE Yato can look in on Ryoji's mom and obvs he has no healing powers, but he can try and improve her mental health!! he can stop by and low-key work on the garden and leave her flowers and food and stuff... she can assume Ryoji is doing nice stuff for her idk

And Yato can try to be friends with Ryoji he GUESSES.............. they haven't threaded in a while, we should do something

Mafuyu i s2g

Yato will ninja those food items slowly into her locker at school so that she can have nice lunch surprises!! he ignores the rest of the wishes tbh, six wishes is good enough

[thisloveisjustice]

lol alas Tatsuo's are pretty non-tangible

"I wish I spoke Japanese better."
"I wish I knew more about my mom."

both are signed '幾原 龍雄'

down at the base of the tree is a crumpled up slip that reads 'I wish I could find someone to date???'

it's unsigned, but if you match up the handwriting...

[goen]

i can't believe that if yato swung that way he would actually attempt to take tatsuo on a date... alas

yato cannot magically grant people the ability to japanese good, but he can find tatsuo's mailbox and gently insert a japanese textbook + dictionary in it LMFAO i'm sorry, apparently the gods believe in self-help

[invocate]

Li-Na's are pretty straight forward

"I wish to make many friends!"
"I wish to understand American English better."
"I wish to be accepted to Recolle University's dance program."

Like, she's not even applied to the university yet, but you have to be on top of your wishes

[goen]

can you believe that yato will infiltrate recolle's admissions center and make sure li-na gets into the dance program... whenever she does apply...

but not after looking through her application and making sure she doesn't suck because look he's not about free rides here

[elevelvetor]

Two verrry simple ones.

"I hope that I can remain here," and "I wish there was a spicy ice cream," both signed as E. Velveteen.

[goen]

IF YOU DON'T MIND Yato doing a deep dive on who the heck E. Velveteen might be and like... finding out that she works a flower shop... he can drop off a spicy ice cream there!! Could even inbox it if you like, IT'S UP TO YOU

[ladytakamaki]

I hope I can become a better person this year.
I hope I make a lot of new friends in college.

Signed as Ann!

[goen]

Ann

gdi Ann, god can't do anything with those wishes, you're on your own girl

[wordcarvings]

I want to find out what I am.

Koutarou did not sign his, but unfortunately for him, Yato would recognize his handwriting.

[goen]

you recollites and your vague wishes

but OKAY yato will investigate... with absolutely zero tact. I'll get koutarou's inbox!

[explodosafe]

OMG Yato....

Cutter wrote two wishes, one signed, one not.

the signed one reads: I wish for a memory that lets me know that I didn't die like that.

the unsigned one reads: Please don't let me be a disappointment.

[goen]

this is the actual worst idea especially because i know nothing of the circumstances around cutter's death/not death but

if yato knocked cutter out and dragged him to a hospital bed, would him waking up in that environment possibly get him a memory of living through whatever it was he thinks he died from... cuz that's gonna be yato's first idea

[roseblooms]

I wish for my mother to get well.
I wish for my mother to get well.
I wish for my mother to get well.
I wish for my mother to get well.
I wish for my mother to get well.
I wish for my mother to get well.
I wish for my mother to get well.

...Someone's a little intense about his #1 wish. If you compare the handwriting, though, there'll be another one, on a different color of paper and in different ink than the rest, as though the author was trying to distinguish somehow between the two — or the last one came much later and more hastily than the others.

Let me someday make wishes for myself, too.

Which isn't...exactly helpful toward granting (I'M SORRY IT'S HIS CANON WISH) but I'm flexible about figuring out some shenanigans to come of the latter one, at least, if you're interested. o/

[goen]

my god why are mothers in recolle dying so much

yato does appreciate a son appreciative of his mother though so he will TRY... SOMETHING... what if (after extensive snooping) he visits kurama's mom and has a little chat with her to try and figure out what kurama could possibly wish for himself?? yato's approach will be insane but he has good intentions i guess

[impulsives]

'I wish I can be a better friend to Souji, or at least, someone to share his burdens with.'

'I wish I have more friends to scream about giant robots with, even if it gives me probably traumatic memories.'

someone save this friendless idiot

[feistytrader]

"It would be nice if Elda made more friends. She won't admit it, but I think she gets lonely."
"Toushiro too, but I can do more about that myself. Better not get greedy."

They're both signed as Silver.

[parodeity]

dave has:

"i wish i had someone to talk to"

and

i wish someone was on my side"

and

let everyone else be happier

[twostringsonebow]

"I wish I had more courage."

he is a simple person, yato. simple and vague. also signed with his name

[maskreant]

GRANT MY WISHES TOO KAMI-SAMA

akira's wishes:
- to eat dinner as a family one more time
- for Silver's life to be prosperous
- some shelter cats at the cat cafe to get adopted

takumi's wishes:
- a happy life for his family and his friends
- another tub of plum wine ice cream
- for his youth group kids to behave (this includes Mafuyu).......

[admiringly]

more realistic wishes (signed):

I wish my friends would skip school less. (ie. Mafuyu and Yoshiko)
Please please P L E A S E let me get better grades this next year.

less realistic wishes (also signed):
I WANT TO FALL IN LOVE (but not be dumb about it) (╥_╥)
I wish for the health and happiness of all my friends and family and the power to support them no matter what

not signed but obvious af:
I wish for the continued life, health, and happiness of Yukine Matsuoka. (x10)

[secare]

[covenantal]

Please help my brother to be happy. signed with only the letter n

I wish for courage. unsigned

I wish I could pull an all nighter without dying. this one he signs his full name and also draws a little cat paw next to his signature, like a nerd

[catsudon]

is even later than the above, but it'll be stupid:

Please let my grandfather remain in good health. signed in Cyrillic with his name this is honestly just sad

I wish I could better support my friends with all the shit they're going through also signed in Cyrillic

He'd wish for success in his line of work but he's pretty sure asking for help there is admitting weakness so NYET

[youraffection]

Oh man this is great!

I wish chocobos would go away. (signed)

I wish I wasn't so jealous of my friends. (in Japanese, signed with "Y" in English)

I hope my dad doesn't hate me. (unsigned)

[crudest]

anyway

Anya's!!! they're... all in cyrillic and signed so at least it's easy to know... be strong, yato

I wish for Mama to get a chance to rest soon.
I don't want to disappoint my friends.
Please let Yato to be carefree and happy again.

Give Z more movie work.
Keep Chuu safe.
Let Kiyo relax.
I wish for my sister's health and happiness. (the only one signed 芭恋)
I hope everyone laughs more.

[stopbleeding]

hey i'm almost 10 days late to this

I hope Baren stops stealing my cars.
I hope Baren stops destroying my clothes.

there are a couple others. pretty much all of them are about baren being a plague on his life. he wrote these when he was particularly annoyed. all of them are unsigned but it's pretty obvious.


and the only one in japanese, unsigned:
Keep Kana safe and happy.

you can do shit all for that one boba

[secare]

late but you can't stop me.

The health and happiness of Ichirou and Marcell Matsuoka.
For Chiyo Matsuoka to never want for love, affection, or joy.
For Rin Matsuoka to find success in his relationships.

To never lose anyone again.
