COMBAT SHINKI FOR HIRE

[erogappa]

From: Sha Gojyo
To: All Gods


Have you ever found yourself out in the living world without your shinki and then an ayakashi shows up? Or maybe is your shinki not a very good fighter or they turn into a teacup or something else not good for fighting with? Don’t despair! CALL SHA.

SHA GOJYO is an experienced shinki who is a very good fighter and who can make really amazing borderlines. Hire him for all your ayakashi fighting needs!

CALL SHA! [phone number]



[ Edited, ten minutes later: ] We're hiring! God needed to serve as transportation. Must be really good at teleporting accurately and available all hours. Pay negotiable.




--Names must be revoked after the ayakashi are killed. No permanent naming without prior autherization.—

What's the prices like?? A hundred yen per ayakashi? Bonuses for cool or flashy maneuvers??

[No plans to indulge, just interested in the business model.]

[erogappa]

[ Video? Where's the... ah, video button. There. ]

A hundred yen? More like a thousand, I'm not that cheap! A thousand each for the basic ones, an', what, five thousand for anything too big to fit through a doorway.

[eternalshield]

What if it fits through the keyhole?? Would you take a hundred for tiny ayakashi??

How fast can you respond to calls? Is there a guarantee of how soon you can be in Greece or whatever?

[Well, this looks like a horrible idea, and he's not about to make this joke where other people can read it -- considering he's sure this post will draw some attention....]

Should I expect an invoice?

I figured instead I'd put you on retainer, you and Sharak. Anyone refuses to unname me and I'll send the two of you to change their mind.

[ That's okay, right? He didn't just step over some kind of unspoken friend boundary? ]

Gladly.

I'd be [Ah -- hit enter a moment too early. Hopefully it doesn't give away the immediate cold anger he'd felt at the possibility; text is concealing, but not perfect.]

interested in knowing which gods would do a thing like that, too.

Are you certain you want to run the risk?

[It may be to all gods but it should really be no surprise when it attracts the attention of others.]

While I understand your intentions, do you really think it to be wise to offer yourself like this? Your god is okay with it?

Voice forever

[erogappa]

Sure. It's not like I'm chargin' her.

[Gojyo's probably already received an hour long lecture on stranger danger, letting anyone creepy name him and how Sharak expects to be involved in any shake downs of troublesome clients. Hey, she's not forbidding it, but they have to be careful.]

Let me know what responses you get.

[And be home by ten.]

If you're bringing a god along for transport anyway, why does your client need to name you?

Private text forever

[erogappa]

[ Yes mom. ]

Transport god might not be a good fighter.

[bussounoshima]

And you might turn into a kitten when someone names you, for all you know. Which should still be interesting, I suppose.

[Sounds like he's just looking for excuses to be scandalous but hey. Half the reason she's allowing this.]

Not here

You should probably know that this is a bad idea.

[ And that doesn't sound quite as judgmental, as it does matter-of-fact. Really, the only judgment Cas has here is the lack of foresight. ]

[erogappa]

Jealous I thought of it first?

[casbutt]

I have a few concerns with your idea, but jealousy is not among them.

I'll disregard the obvious matter of safety, but-- have you considered that broadcasting your services may not have been the wisest course of action? From what I understand, the greater gods find this sort of behavior unacceptable.

[heptagram]

I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone post something like this until now.

[erogappa]

I know right? It's a great idea!

[heptagram]

Maybe nobody considered, as a shinki, working for another god. At least not in such a direct manner.

No part of this struck you as inadvisable?

[erogappa]

Don't be jealous. Girls don't like jealous boys.

[koukai_kirai]

[Gojyo, please. Hijikata has 99 problems, and failing to appeal to women has never been one.]

Less "jealous" and more "concerned about gods potentially using you as a weapon to blight each other," but I suppose I can't stop you from interpreting things as you'd like.

[brains_beef_and_brows]

What sort of transportation god are you requesting? My name is Tenya Iida and I am the God Idaten, and I am well established for my speed.

[erogappa]

The sort who is good at teleporting between the near shore and the far shore. And I mean really good, because if somebody is getting chewed on by a ayakashi then they don't have time to wait while we jump around trying to find them.

[spes_phthisica]

thats

wrong

[Look, he might've loosened up a bit about the whole nora question because of Jennifer, but this? NOPE. NOPE NOPE NOPE N O P E.]

[erogappa]

No it's not. What part?
