From: Leo (Odin)
Date: Jan. 20th

[As the camera clicks on, you can hear Leo muttering:]

Do we really have to do this, Aymeric? We could simply send invitations out individually when it’s closer to time.

Was it not your suggestion that we do this?

[It’s said quietly as well but the tone is gentle.]

There is nothing to worry about. We will do this together.

[Leo sighs and looks at the camera, trying to smile. It’s obvious he’s kind of regretting this decision, though.]

Right. For those of you who don’t know us, this message isn’t necessarily for you but--I am Leo, currently the god Odin.

And I am Aymeric de Borel, also assigned as a god. [What? God name ain’t important here, the actual one is.]

We--I--decided that this would perhaps be the fastest way of getting the news out. Aymeric and I…

[Deep breath.]

We’ll be married in the spring.

[It’s not shown on camera but one of Aymeric’s hands covers Leo’s, gently squeezing it as a way of reassuring him. He knows how they both are, not the type to make big announcements such as this but also wanting to share how they feel about each other. And with all the bad happening lately, there needed to be some sort of good. But they can see the elezen’s expression as he smiles warmly.

Leo appreciates the comfort, Aymeric, but he’d appreciate you saying something a little more.]

Invitations will obviously be sent out closer to the date. We would have said something sooner, but…

Given the circumstances of the recent events, it seemed a bit out of place to speak of it. However, we wished to tell our friends and fellow comrades of our news as soon as we were able. We are still planning for the ceremony and celebration so we are unable to answer much on that front.
[This is so different than trying to speak on politics or try to sway a group of people; he can do that with his eyes shut. No, this much more nerve wracking and he’s giving a mental prayer to Halone to give him strength not to screw this up.

They both suck at this, huh?]

Like I said, this is mostly for those of you who know us...or rather Aymeric. [He’s seen Aymeric’s contact list, okay.] Hopefully when the time comes, you’ll join us on our wedding day. ...gods that’s weird to say.

A moment I am looking forward to with great fervor.

[Sap. Leo gives Aymeric a slightly dopey look before he turns to the camera.

Thank you for your time.

[End feed.]

[OOC: Both will be responding!]

Oh, you're a mage?

[Aymeric you have been holding out on him.]

What sort of magic?

I know fire, wind, and ice. ...Those have been the easiest for me anyway.

[And they cover plenty of type weaknesses too.]

So elemental? Do you have dark magic or curses in your world?

Oh, plenty! It's not the Netherworld for nothin'.

[A lot of demons are into that kind of thing.]

[....wait.]

Netherworld? As in demons?

Yeah, that's the one.

Are you a demon?

I am.

...Not just any, I'm also a reaper.

...a reaper. A pyschopomp?

It's got a lot of different names! [And Emizel's heard them all-- ...most of them.]

I haven't taken very many souls yet, I'm still kind of working on that...

[You can see the "NERD" light flashing over Leo's head as Emizel speaks.]

Would you mind telling me what it's like, being a psychopomp? It's not exactly easy to speak to whoever takes care of the dead back home.

[WELL LEO...you might be a little bit disappointed, but Emizel will try.]

It's kinda no different than any other kind of job... Although, you do need to have the right kind of scythe, among other things, to be actually accepted as one.

It's up to us to get souls to their destination. Whether that's a human who recently died, or a Prinny that finally redeemed itself.

[Maybe he would have been but--]

A what.

...What?

A what redeemed itself?

Oh, a Prinny.

[Right, not every world has those.]

They're what humans become if they commit too many sins.

[You know, the stories of hell and eternal damnation? It's sort of more like...boot camp and community service. With a bit of slave labor...]

...what are they? They sound....harmless.

...Well they usually aren't very bright, that's for sure.

They look sorta like...I think penguins is what humans call them? Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure Zetta has a few.

[Still can't believe a book is one of the greatest Overlords that ever lived, but that is a topic for a different date.]

So your world doesn't do eternal damnation? Just...eternal adorableness?

I wouldn't really call them adorable... [But then, Emizel calls VERY few things that. ...~~Openly, maybe.~~]

You just said they were penguins. What else would they be, unless they're also blood-drinkers or something?

No nothing quite like that.

...It's just sorta hard for them to be 'cute' when they're frustrating to deal with.

[It takes a very... 'specific', kind of demon to train them properly. That's for damn sure.]

[At that moment, Leo's cat Lady hops up on the desk and proceeds to meow furiously at the two thumb-beasts not paying attention to her. Leo just calmly moves her to the floor, still meowing.]

So are cats. Still adorable.

[Hears the familiar sound of cats] --You have a cat?

Yes. Lady Ebony, though anymore I just call her Lady.
