w3, sunday again

[selfimmolates]

Ishikirimaru! Have you ever spoken to Indulgence?

[HI]

[ritualization]

Ah- hello, Ray-kun.

[he looks a little thrown off by how. sudden that is. but after a moment, he shakes his head.]

They're one I have yet to meet with. Why?

[selfimmolates]

Good. Do me another favour?

[ritualization]

Do you need me to speak with them?

[selfimmolates]

Yes. You don't even need to bother with an offering—just say that I sent you. He says he might even give you a bit of a reward for coming to see him, though I can't guarantee that.

[ritualization]

...I see. Do you have any idea what this is about, or does he simply want to speak with someone new?

[selfimmolates]

It's a task. If I get enough people to see him, he'll reward me with something I can use for a trial.

But yeah, it was brought on by the fact that no one visits him, so he wants the chance to try and tempt people into his faction.

[ritualization]

I'll meet with him, then-- and if you know his preferences, I would appreciate you sharing.

[forget about this 'not bothering with an offering' business, tbh.]

Hopefully it will result in something useful.

[selfimmolates]

Something you put effort into, like a craft or cooking. He's not expecting much given our supplies on hand, but he's tired of people just trying to get him alcohol from the parlour.

He might give you a bit of a reward for coming to see him, too—but I don't know how serious he was about that. In any case, we've already arranged what the reward will be, if I succeed.

[ritualization]

I will see what I am able to do, then.

May I ask what you've agreed upon?

[selfimmolates]

What Sasuke tried to do but failed last trial: a one-time item that'll allow the user to eliminate an innocent suspect from the list.

[ritualization]

[ah. ishi looks impressed at that, giving ray a satisfied nod.]

That would certainly help us narrow it down, next time. You already have my support, but good luck in finding enough others.

[selfimmolates]

[he sighs.]

Thanks. I'm trying to at least find people who can put up with him for a meeting.

[ritualization]

I have yet to meet a god that I could not at least have a polite meeting with. With any luck, that will continue to be the case.

[selfimmolates]

That's why you were one of my first options. Maybe ask for a task from him while you're at it—he likes the chance to show off how generous he is.
