I like the futuristic retro feeling that everything here has, I think it'd be popular at home. Japan's usually the master of old-meets-new, so it's interesting to see someone trying to give them a run for the money!

Also... I've been looking since I got here, but I still haven't found any shrines. I know gods are less popular in America, but you've got to have some.

In the meantime, I've been putting advertisements up around the city, so give me a call if you need work taken care of!

[ By which Yato means, he's been graffiti-ing his name and number all over the Porter cities. ~~except in English~~ The funny thing is? Most people can't actually see said scribbles unless they actually need something done. ]

[ A few beats, and then thoughtfully: ]

Is there anywhere around here where you can get a good blade?

[ Have a well dressed lady, smiling. ]

Many people do not find their religions represented here, since we come from such different places. We are working currently to find a way to have a place for those of us who struggle with that, but in the meantime perhaps we can find you a place.

I do not know where a good blade can be found, though.

Working toward how?

[ He's interested; if he can get his name in on something like that, he'd feel a lot better about the current state of things. ]

Kind of an odd request, huh?

One of the Imports has been beginning to set up resources to create a space that we could use for different religious beliefs here that do not have enough followers to create their own place.

I am hoping to help him in that endeavor, through my position as Ambassador. Perhaps you would like to be put in contact with him?

I think there are many to whom a blade would not be an odd request at all, here, but we do not use them in my world and I have had no occasion to seek them out, so I have no real information. But I am sure there will be those who can help you.

I'd like that, thanks. If nothing else, I can at least offer some insight on things that might set others off.

Ambassador, huh? I've heard a little bit about those positions, but I haven't had experience with them much yet. What other kinds of things are you responsible for?

His name is Merle. I'll give you his contact number.

[ And she does in fact send along Merle's number rather swiftly. ]

I know it's a project he's very interested in and would be happy to see more interest in, and I am myself hopeful for it's progress forwards.

My position is to represent Import interests and safety, which is something that frankly covers a very broad range. Currently, my main focuses are improving mental health in the Import community and working on the perception of us by natives, though there are many other things I am at least keeping an eye on.

[ At least the tech level here is pretty similar to what he's used to, so Yato receives the number and stores it away to call Merle later. ]

Thanks. Hopefully his project gets off the ground.

Is the perception of imPorts poor here?

[ there's a very slight hesitation before he uses the title; still getting used to it ]

I haven't been here long enough to notice one way or the other, yet. The people I've run into so far seem more positive than negative, but that's a pretty small sampling.

I'm backing it myself, so I am certain that we will be able to find a way to move forward.

[ She pauses, considers that question. ]

The answer to that depends on which city you're in and who you speak to. In Maurtia Falls, it is not very kind. There's also a fairly strong criminal element, which is a factor. In some of the other cities, many people are quite enthusiastic about our presence.

Once you get into the government itself, though, it becomes more difficult to parse. Our abilities and what we can achieve for them are admired, but we are not trusted.

Well... the housing they put me in is located in De Chima, but I've been trying to get familiar with all of the main cities so I can do better at any jobs I get hired for.

[ Yato debates asking for a moment, but Padme seems to have her head on straight, so it's worth a shot. ]

I wonder if I could ask a favour, Ambassador? Seeing how you interact with people in your job would probably provide a lot of context.

Fucking excuse you.

"Less popular in America." My sales here are even better than the UK, thanks.

You want shrines? Try Underground.

[ Yato just blinks at the message for a few moments while that sinks in, then: ]

wait, you're a god too??

Underground where?

Persephone, Destroyer, Queen of Hades. Maybe you've heard of me?

Underground, underground. But I'm in Maurtia Falls.

[ The answer is cryptic and unhelpful, as all Underworld gods are under strict contract to be. ]

[ Hers is a big enough name that Yato does know it, regardless of it being "outside" the pantheon he's part of. And his own unique situation means he's not one to disbelieve someone who states they're a god unless there's some kind of direct evidence to the contrary. So he'll err on the side of deference, for now, and give her his own proper title in response. ]

Lady Persephone.

My name is Yatogami. Maurtia Falls... I'll take a look.

[ He's been through there, but not underground. Now that he knows what he's looking for, she might not be hard for him to find. ]

[ Oh, she likes the deference. She likes it a lot. ]

Lady Destroyer, if you really want to be extra about it.

Don't think I know Yatogami. What's your brand?

[ The more gods he's on good terms with, the better off he figures he'll be. Especially in a place like this. ]

Right, I'll remember that.

Japan.

Yeah but like. IDK, sky, rivers, cats? Pussy???

Are you from the same pantheon as Amaterasu? She was here last year, but she didn't stick around.

War. Formally, I'm a War God.

[ Among other things. ]

But I'm thinking about changing tracks! God of Fortune is catchy, right?

[ He stares at the screen for a moment, almost disbelieving seeing the name there. ]

The same, yes. Her Majesty was here?

This is the states, they love war and money.

[ She shouldn't namedrop, really. As a goddess, it's beneath her. But come on, it's Amaterasu. ]

Last New Years, yeah. Something like that.

I've never been to America before, but that fits.

[ He just doesn't want to pursue that particular avenue. ]

You'd think that would've caused more of an uproar. But I'm more interested in making my own mark.

Uh huh. So God of Fortune. Catchy.

Who says it didn't?

Exactly! So picking up my delivery work while I'm here seems like the logical step.

I meant in Takamagahara. What happened here?

Delivery?

[ quickly reads a wiki article on Takamagahara. ok she still has no fuckin idea cool. ]

She's probably pretty different from the one you're used to.

Yeah, odd jobs and stuff. Trying to get my name out.

I wouldn't know, never met her. What was she like?

How's that working out for you?

And she's bright. Impossible. She looked me in the eye and smiled one time, and it was like having all the light in the whole world shining on only you all at once.

Edited 2018-04-12 17:02 (UTC)

It's been going.

[ Not stellar, but other things keep happening. ]

Yeah, I'm sure she's great. When she's not ordering executions based on flimsy, inaccurate information.

[ Time to change the subject. ]

So is underground a stylistic thing for you or required? Just curious.

[ Oh.

Oh.

Ordered? Not as far as Persephone knew, but she sure as shit helped carry one out.

Can one be full of thirsty, reverent awe and murderous indifference at the same time? She'll sure do her best. She is vast; she contains multitudes ]

Wow. Well fuck her then.

Kinda both? Forced underground is my style.

Plus, I've put out a few singles, but I'm way better live. This whole place is such a shit-show, there's no way to actually hold communion without a huge pain in my ass unless I do it on home turf. Or under home turf, technically.

Edited 2018-04-12 17:18 (UTC)

[ Yato can't help it; that makes him laugh, even though Persephone won't hear it. And it's easier than thinking about Ebisu dying in his arms. ]

Maybe I should come and see for myself?

Sure, better to talk shop in private anyway.

You're not scared of the dark, are you?

Nope. Am I supposed to be?
