[He gives a light shrug.

He actually doesn't have that much free time, between training, working at the diner, and setting up a bar, but Skylar doesn't need to know that.]

Nothing too fancy, at least.

[Definitely not worth 5-star meals.]

[volksdaemon]

[The diner? That piques his curiosity. Only one guy worked at the diner, or so he thought, and that guy's a god. So maybe this is his shinki. It doesn't much matter, in fact that god's one of the few who doesn't have a strong opinion one way or the other about him even after an in-person meeting. Just nice to connect some dots.]

Alright, well, hypothetically speaking, where would you be prepping this cuisine?

[He points to the restaurant next door.]

Not like you're gonna hijack a restaurant during off hours or something like that.

[toremainbehind]

[Izumo raises an eyebrow, amusement briefly masking his face before it's gone.]

Thanatos' temple.

[Which. Pretty sums up everything.

Although, the idea of hijacking a restaurant does make Izumo chuckle.]

I don't think I'm good to even bother hijacking a restaurant.

[volksdaemon]

Well, first time for everything?

[He tries to make his tone sound more like it's just a joke. Even though he would totally do it of course.]

I know that guy - makes sense why you'd be decent at cooking, I guess, working out of a diner.

[Amazing that the guy didn't hate him for all of the normal reasons and instead seemed to simply begrudge him existing, same as anyone else.]

[toremainbehind]

I think I'll still pass.

[...You're a God. Where are your morals?

The mention of his god, though, does catch his attention.]

You've met my God before?

[Kensei is usually laid-back or, well, uninterested in things that doesn't really concern him.]

[volksdaemon]

[See, he knows - or can hear - when it's time to move on from a conversation topic.]

Yep, just after that one shinki went ayakashi and he invited all of the Far Shore to his door step.

[He shrugs.]

I got curious. Pretty different sort of power he's got, isn't it?

[toremainbehind]

[He'd ask which shinki, but a few of them had turned into ayakashi lately, so he decides not to ask.]

It's handy. [For healing cooking, that is. Unfortunately, unless Kensei does some mass cooking, it might not be enough.]

What about your power?

[volksdaemon]

Nothing major, or as directly applicable.

[ Of course it's a lie, but this is his new cover for his ability. ]

Sometimes I see little colored strings that tie people together, like a kaleidoscopic spider web. Lucky for me, even in the same city, most people don't know one another.

[toremainbehind]

[Strings?

His eyebrows furrow briefly before it eases out.]

That sounds like an interesting power.

[volksdaemon]

Interesting, sure.

[He taps his shades on top of his head above the bandana.]

But gaudy as hell sometimes.

[Not at all the reason he has them, but hey it makes for a good story, right?]

[toremainbehind]

[A flicker at the shades before Izumo decides to shift his gaze away.]

As long as you can control it, it shouldn't be too bad.

[Then again, what does he know?]

[volksdaemon]

Define control it.

[He shrugs.]

It's on all the time, so no not really.

[But then he gestures to Izumo.]

What about you, can you control yours?

[toremainbehind]

No way to temporarily turn it off?

[He blinks at the question before he smiles.]

Not really.
