Who: Lightning, Natsuru, and you
Where: Near Shore
When: May 11th
What: Prayer #15, so Natsuru in a cute outfit and Light just being Light
Warnings: None yet


[Sweetshop!]
[Lightning has finally decided that it was high time to do a prayer with her shinki. Natsuru is picked first since she’s the more skittish of the two, and it’ll be their gods first prayer as well. The prayer entailed helping a failing business get back into business. So, Lightning took it. Too bad the place seemed to be exactly what she didn’t want to work. Lightning loves to eat, but how is she supposed to sell sweets?

At least she has the amusement of sticking her shinki in an outfit that would detract from her own uniform.

Come one, come all to this shop and harass these two young women. Or just buy stuff and help them get through this.]

[After chatting with the scantily dressed girl outside, of course Schuldig heads inside too. He scans the room and, as usual, gets a whole lot of junk nothing. Odd little thoughts about worrying this and wanting that. Then he scans the barrista and instead of nothing he actually gets blocked from seeing her surface thoughts. Huh. Not a regular human then.

He approaches her at the counter once it's his turn.]

Hi, I'm looking to get a frequent customer card - but I can't help but notice you're new here.

[savioring]

[Lightning has had people in her head at one time or another for a long time. Blocking it all out is second nature now.

She picks out a card with a cute little design that has several little circles on it for stamping.]

Come in ten times and you get a free coffee or cupcake. [She looks at him before glancing at the poor girl who seemed confused about something keeping her from reaching the counter. So this guy was from the Far Shore.] It's for a prayer.

[volksdaemon]

I see, I see... An interesting prayer, getting you behind a register at a sweetshop...

[He takes the card and steps aside, leaning against the unused register as if he's looking in the pastry cabinet now. This business being so successful must be why the other Pâtisserie he and Nagi found ended up in the red.]

So which side of the work force are you on? A nice, composed woman such as yourself -- you'd be the most proper shinki I've seen yet if so.

[savioring]

It was failing, and it's our job to help those who need it.

[She starts helping the other customers, making quick work. Even though she doesn't smile, most of the customers seem utterly charmed by her. Why? She's not sure. Must be the hair?]

God by the name of Osiris. My shinki is outside advertising this place.

[volksdaemon]

A prayer reached the goddess's ears. They should be thrilled to hear it.

[He turns and looks back out the front of the store again.]

Ah yes, we met. She's a nice girl.

[But of course he's not about to mention how much he flustered her.]

Osiris... that's Egyptian, isn't it? How exotic. I think I've met just one other...

[This, he's genuinely curious about. How aware are the pantheons of each member?]

[savioring]

[She's going to try not to snort at that comment. Her eyes flick up enough to see Natsuru still doing her job.]

She's too nice.

[She shrugs at that, helping a few more customers.]

I've met a few in my pantheon. You'll have to be more specific.

[volksdaemon]

I won't deny that.

[Primarily because she said it first, so that makes it fair game. He makes a show of putting the card away in his wallet so he has an excuse to stick around a bit longer.=]

I believe it was... Nekhbet?

[He doesn't really have to think about it that hard; he knew exactly the name he was thinking off the top of his head, but it's a more common thing for people outside of the assassin profession and he knows that.]

I'm just curious if there's something like monthly get-togethers between people in similar positions such as this.

[savioring]

[Shun. She knows him. Seemed to like Odin, which is a plus in Lightning's book. Too bad the guy had birds called vultures. She despises those things already.]

I met him before. He wasn't too chatty about his home world, but I know enough about him to know that his goddess suits him.

[A get together?]

No thanks. I don't want to hear other death gods complaining about the souls they have to reap. At least none of them are stuck having to be in charge of resurrection as well.

[volksdaemon]

[More gender flipping. Very interesting.]

I didn't think that everyone here were death gods -- or do you simply mean your pantheon's only hauled up death gods? Because resurrection... Heh, nasty bit of business indeed.

[He takes a bite to hide more of his smirking. Resurrection definitely hadn't gone well for those attempting it when he'd been watching.]

[savioring]

The pantheon I am a part of only has two gods that deal with death. Osiris and Anubis. If someone becomes Ma'at, that takes half of my job away.

[Which she would be very grateful for. Judging souls was tedious and tiring, so between that and prayers she hasn't had much time to rest.]

I've dealt with resurrection before. It's only a pain because some people think they can just choose what to be reincarnated as.

[volksdaemon]

It's nice to see some responsibility among the Gods. So many seem content to dismiss the duties entirely.

[He's just lucky that his own profile of requests mostly involve things he'd do anyway.]

Have you ever been tempted to reincarnate someone as an animal? Or insect? Isn't that how karma works, if reincarnation is working here?

[savioring]

Then why bother being gods. Give the job to someone else.

[It's not a vacation.]

I don't believe in karma, and I don't care what they want to be when they reincarnate... but I swear if I hear one more person asking to become a cat so they don't have to do anything, I'm taking that option off of the list.

[volksdaemon]

I'm sure many of them surely would give up the job if they could.

[Not him, certainly. He enjoys the power too much.

He does bust out laughing a bit at the cat remark. That sounds like the humans he knows and tortures.]

That doesn't surprise me even a tiny bit, Osiris. Some people will do anything to get out of doing anything difficult.
