Ebisu's Inbox

[chibisu]

[For anyone who is familiar with Ebisu in person, they might be expecting the sound of a cute child on the answering machine.]

[They do not get a cute child's voice.]

[Instead, it's the voice of a young man, speaking calmly and professionally.]

Hello. You have reached the personal phone and temple of Ebisu, one of the Gods of Fortune. He and his shinki are currently busy right now, so please leave a message and someone will respond back to you as soon as possible.

Thank you, and have a nice day.

Uh, hey. You're Ebisu, right? I'm Chris Yukine, or Ishtar here. I'm one of Ginia's gods, and she alerted me to a job opportunity. I'd like to apply.

As I told her, I'm pretty experienced. I've been involved in student government and worked for a government agency. I'm just seventeen, but I have a lot to offer, as far as experience goes, and could be a big help in the field of security, office work, media, and general support. If you're willing to grant me an opportunity, I'd much appreciate it.

[Attached: A list of Chris's responsibilities at her school, Lydian Academy, clubs and organizations she belonged to (archery, student government, festival planning committee), and a very very generalized list of what she did at her "government job", including "physical training", "minor espionage", and "threat response", "search and rescue" as well as things like "skill with firearms and other projectile weapons" and "acrobatics".]

[Luger definitely helped her write this.]

[Wow, that sure is some serious murder stuff put in along everything else. Ebisu would be concerned, if he was a normal child... or even a normal god. Listen, it's fine. The resumes of other gods around are much more bizarre.]

Ishtar,

It's a pleasure to meet the other god of one of my shinki! I would be very interested in meeting you properly over this, even beyond hiring you on as an employee.

I like to assign work based on both skill and interest. While it sounds as though you would be good for a few different departments that I can think of, are there any in particular that would have your attention? I have both media and tourism departments which I believe would gladly accept your help. However, if you are good at math, I can name many others.

I'm interested in hearing from you.

I got top marks in all my studies, and I was looking into applying to an overseas music academy for when I ended up graduating. I could definitely do most of the stuff involving math and media related matters, but I also, like, need to keep my skills sharp. So those things, and anything involving security or emergency services, are my preferred areas.

[Luger is, again, dictating a lot of this. Chris knows how to write properly, but she also doesn't want to take any risks applying to her first job.]

[chibisu]

I understand your concerns. Then would you be interested in working in the tourism department? Many of our prayers involve math and matters regarding media, mostly in getting the word out. However, due to the nature of things, it would take you all across Japan to protect certain sites from ayakashi, along with any offices on the Near Shore which are being affected by them. Does that sound agreeable to you?

[trustheart]

That sounds exactly like what I'm looking for! I could definitely work with that.

[chibisu]

Excellent! What time would be preferable for you to come and be introduced to the kind of work done in the tourism department? I can have one of my shinki, Kimi, explain things to you.

[trustheart]

Any day that isn't the 29th, 30th, or 31st. I have plans on both of those days.

[chibisu]

Will the 28th work for you?

[trustheart]

That's just fine with me, yeah.
