From: Ebisu
Date: January 14

----------------------------------------

[It hadn't taken very long for Ebisu's temple to do a quick damage assessment, both on their own temple and for them to realize that things were going wrong in other places in the Heavens. Admittedly, it was a little hard to miss, what, with the exploding volcano and rocks flying throughout the sky in the distance.]

[That's why Ebisu is showing up on the network today, looking somber from where he's seated in the same desk as his prior video appearances.]

Hello, gods and shinki of the Far Shore.

Due to the disaster which has occurred, I understand that many of you living in areas such as the West District have had damage to your temples and lands. This is a troublesome situation, there can be no mistake, especially for those of you who have others under your care.

That's why I'm offering room in my temple for any among you who might need it. We have space to spare- [Please don't ask why.] -and I'm certain it would be enough to house some of you until you can get your own temples back into shape.

Please let me or any of my shinki know if you're interested.

Thank you for your time.

[ Sorey was one of the Gods who's temple was affected. He would have appreciated the offer for the sake of others, but he can't help but feel that all the more. ]

... If you still have room for two more, my shinki and I would really appreciate a room.

I'll do what I can to help out on my end, too. [ He's more than willing to pull his own weight here. ]

Of course. There's even a room the two of you could share, if you believe that would put you both more at ease. We can also have you in separate rooms. There's plenty of choices at my temple.

[Ebisu doesn't smile, but he does nod his head at Sorey's offer.]

We can discus that sort of thing when the current disaster has been taken care of, and when you've both had time to recuperate.

... Thanks a lot, but if it's alright - I'd like to do what I can to help those who need it the most.

[ Rest can wait. ]

Of course. Everyone needs to work as hard as they can so that we can make sure the damage doesn't spread, and that everyone is alright. If you need any supplies, please let me or my shinki know.

Thank you. I'm sure that a lot of people will appreciate your kindness.

Mikleo and I will come by later. ... For now, I'll take a look outside to find anyone who might still be struggling.

I wish you the best of luck. We'll continue to work hard on this end.

Quick thinking and a good idea. Hey, if you ever run out of space, we're in the northeast district, relatively safe, got few free rooms. I think we could handle up to eight guests?

[ After a second of consideration ]

Probably should have asked first if would you mind if this message was used as sort of a- [ what was the word, ugh ] -hub, huh? Sorry. My manners sometimes fail to fire off.

It's more than alright, Cú Chulainn-sama. The more we come together, the more everyone can be guaranteed safety and a good recovery. It's too late to stop what's already happened, but we can deal with the future much more easily.

-sama? That's new. [ That's like the highest possible honorific or something- no wait, there are higher ones, but should gods be using them between each other? ]

Anyway. If you or anyone else hears of someone who didn't make it back, let me know. I've got experience in tracking and in traversing mountains.

Oh, are you shy like Hakkai-san is...?

[Yeah, apparently he's had this go around before. Don't worry about it.]

Anyway, I'll be certain to let you know if anything happens or if I hear about anything unfortunate. Having someone who's experienced in matters like this is invaluable, so I'll be sure to call you soon, no doubt.

[ Gotcha gotta keep on standby. Of course, it would be best if no one got lost and/or hurt and that those skills wouldn't be needed- ]

Shy..? [ That makes him chuckle. ] Hardly, but good to know that Hakkai is, I will be more considerate with him.

Please do. He is very intelligent but that just means he is a very delicate soul.

[ Do not burst into a laughter, it's voice-line, not just text. Oh but he barely gets to contain his amusement. ]

No arguing about that, he's really smart. Sounds like you know him well. Not surprising, he's a fellow god of fortune after all.

[ He wants to know more about the "delicate soul", he needs gossip material ]

Our titles are a little different in meaning when it comes to that, but, yes. I've spoken with him a few times, and it's been very interesting each time.

Perhaps when this is all settled and everyone is safe, we can all talk with one another over dinner and have a relaxing time again instead of dealing with a disaster.

Once everything is under control and everyone are safe- I'm looking forward to this!

[ Hey even in crisis try to find a good side of life. Good side of life being hearing funny stories apparently ]

Disconnecting for now, but I'll be checking in case anything is needed.

Greetings. Lord Ebisu, if you still have free rooms to spare, I'd like to formally request assistance. My god Alexander the Great, and I were forced out of our temple. While the building still stands and should stay in one piece through the crisis, it has become temporary inhabitable.

[ Gases, you see ]

[Gases sure are a thing]

Of course. You're free to stay for as long as necessary until your temple is back in order. Do you know the way to my temple? I'm not familiar with you or your god, you see.

We've met during the stay at the hot springs resort, but it was a brief meeting. [ He's a god of fortune, he meets a lot of people, so it's perfectly understandable to not remember everyone. But she does have to point out and correct that they have talked already, just in case. Or rather because of compulsion. ]

My assumption is that your temple is in the central district, but I do not know the exact location. Is the district correct? [ What a major misstep - not learning the whole map of heavens by memory ]

Hm...? Oh! It was so strange, hearing only your voice. I apologize for not recognizing you sooner.

[It doesn't matter if he's a God of Fortune. In his opinion, he should be able to remember everyone immediately, even if it's just by voice alone. Clearly he needs to get better at this...]

And yes, it is. You'll be able to spot it because it's a large skyscraper, and very easy to find. If you're coming in from the West, then... [He gives some further directions.]

There is no need to apologize. [ Recognising people by just voice is a rare skill and a difficult one to learn. Good job, Symm, surprise putting more pressure on a kid. ]

Are there some special rules to your temple we should be aware of? Neither of us has been in a situation like this before, and we wouldn't like to accidentally make trouble.

You won't have to worry on that end. The residential building is different from the building on my temple grounds where we get the majority of our work done. If you wanted to enter the main work building, any one of my shinki would be able to see you, and assist you with anything you might need.

Your rooms will have a small kitchen, so you should be able to prepare food for yourselves. Our schedules are a bit buy and our meal times reflect that- [As in, they're taking full advantage of the fact that gods and shinki don't need to eat so much as humans do.] -so I'm not sure if that would work for you.

[ Gotcha, at least they are not going to be messing around the workplace ]

Anything will work for us, we are not picky. You have our utmost gratitude, if there is anything we can help you with, I will personally see to have it done.

[ She doesn't expect her god to protest much against such a statement, but if he does... well ]

I will pass that information along to my shinki, then. We will take stock of the damage that has been done once the situation. If there is anything we could use assistance in, I will be certain to let you know.

Affirmative. It looks like we found means of transportation, we're on our way.

[ She cuts the conversation shorts. And the jeep-kind of hell starts soon ]

Please don't tell people that I have a delicate soul.

Oh, yes, I understand, Hakkai-san.

[Shy, and all.]

[That's definitely the reason.

(Well, it is embarrassing.)]

We may have quite a few refugees -- do you have enough room?

[He has extra room in his own temple, but, unlike Ebisu and Caster, he's not necessarily willing to volunteer it unless it's a desperate situation....]

[Oh, and right back on topic. Hakkai really is so reliable, not calling just because of his shyness.]

Depending on the amount of people, we should be good for quite a few temples, especially depending on who's willing to share a room. Newer gods such as yourself tend to have a smaller household; it'd be much more of a struggle if I were to take on the temple of another God of Fortune like Bishamon-sama.

[Well, Bishamon is a bit of an extreme example, but, still...]

This seems like a rather widespread problem, but not every temple in the affected area is going to be uninhabitable.

Regardless, let me know if you need more room, or if anyone needs a ride. I'm bringing first-aid supplies out to the temples near the volcano at the moment, and Jeep has space for passengers.

I'll be sure to let people know that you're offering your assistance as well, Hakkai-san. How much room can you spare? I don't recall your temple being particularly massive.

[You know, unlike him and Bishamon, notorious shinki hoarders.]

No, but there are only a few rooms taken.

[Shinki hoarder he's not. It's five, to be specific.]

I can probably accommodate a dozen guests.

I think that should help house a couple of temples, depending on how many shinki a god has to them. I'll make sure that my own rooms start to be filled first before I begin directing them to you, however. It's the least I can do, since this area is otherwise out of my expertise.

Thank you. I'm trying to find and treat the wounded, so I'm afraid I can't be much of a host, outside of offering the rooms.

It's fine. So long as people have a place to stay, the rest can be figured out afterwards.

Please let us know if you need any extra medical supplies.

I should be well supplied, but if I run low, I'll contact you.

Alright. Stay safe, Hakkai-san.

I know we haven't met before now, but that's very kind of you.

The Far Shore is very large, and I'm very busy, so it's not surprising. As a god of commerce, this is the least I can do. I'm a water god, but I'm not the kind that can control water so easily...

So, offering shelter and assistance is the most of my abilities.

A water god and a commerce god? Huh...

[ She has to think about it a little bit, but she supposes it does make sense if people traded near rivers or something. ]

God of commerce means you have... what... other empty warehouses people can stay in?

Hey...

[ He struggles to swallow his pride on this one, because geez this is a kid he's asking for help from, if a mature sounding one. ]

Don't suppose you got one more room there for my shinki?

Of course, Kṣitigarbha-sama. How many shinki do you look over? We have rooms ready immediately, so you don't have to be concerned.

I actually have three at the moment, so I thought maybe they could all share one if your space was so tight. Sorry for having to depend on you like this.

Please don't worry about space. We have plenty that is available. I'll be sure to have one of my shinki make the arrangements for two rooms that are side by side.

What about yourself?

Ah, well... I was going to go back to the temple and see how things looked. It was in the Western District. I've slept under the stars plenty of times.

Kṣitigarbha-sama, we have plenty of room at my temple. You wouldn't be an imposition in any way. I am certain that your shinki would also be more reassured if they were positive that you were near to them.

Heh...

Well, I guess if it's for his sake, I could make sure to stick around.

[ That's a Thank You. And also that he'll end up staying there a bit. ]
