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.

The day after the Very Special Beach Episode

[unlucky7]

[Ginia would never dream of taking a trip off to paradise and not bring back presents for her beleaguered coworkers. Omiyage is very important, and it's a good thing she can bring everything back to the Far Shore by teleporting through Fuujin's temple. Having someone help pick up all the presents is useful too because there's a lot.

As food is the most common form of omiyage, Ginia comes with plenty. Six cookie gift sets ensures everyone will have a chance to sample the cookies. There are also several sets of chocolate bars in assorted flavors, boxes of chocolate covered macadamia nuts, and full flats of fresh pineapples and mangoes.

There are individual presents too.

Ebisu receives a floral arrangement (and Kunimi the gift of keeping it watered).

Unmi receives a glass jellyfish paperweight.

Aomi receives a wood box.

Kiwami receives a set of plates with koi as well as a fish folded from palm leaves.

Takami receives two flower dishes and a small set of truffles.

Kimi receives a leather and silver bracelet with a card explaining the meaning of the symbol ("to fulfill, to complete, to come to pass, to succeed"). When she sees him later that day, she'll also place a yellow and white lei around his neck.
