When: March 5th [frontdated]

... So I went to sleep last night, and found myself home. Went through a whole couple months, a bunch of shit happened, and then I wake up here again after it's all over. Kinda feeling jerked around a bit, but what's happened has happened.

Anyway, I've been hearing prayers from people whose relationships are in trouble lately, and if this place is going to insist I be a love goddess, then I guess I'd better do something about it. Problem is, the soulless shinki this place assigned me and I haven't been getting on at all, and considering it's been a few months since I saw him from my perspective, I don't think it'd be a good idea to try and force it.

This isn't easy to admit, but if I'm gonna do this, I need help. Would anyone be willing to help me stake out the Tokyo Museum for a few nights? There's definitely ayakashi involved, so I definitely know I shouldn't go it alone.

Chris Yukine. Call me Chris, and Chris-san or Mrs. Chris if you feel the need to be formal, but that doesn't seem like your style. And yourself?

[unlucky7]

Nice to meet you, Chris.

I'm Ginia. Just Ginia. In the service of Alex Benedetto, the goddess Oshun. She's also a love goddess so I'm used to love-related prayers.

I see. If you're okay with this team up being a one time thing, I understand, if you don't want to take on too many responsibilities.

[unlucky7]

Speaking plainly, I get your reasoning why you don't want to work with your soulless shinki, getting yanked around is rough for someone new, and you seem sincere in wanting to do good. So I'm willing to help out a good cause.

But I don't know you and you don't know me. Maybe this job won't work out between us. If that's the case, no harm, you release my name, we go our separate ways. Maybe we don't even need a naming, maybe a few borderlines and splashes of blessed water can shoo the problem away.

There's weight behind names, the emotional connection and all. Who you serve and what you stand for and all. Let's see how this goes.

[trustheart]

That makes sense. You can't just put your faith in someone like that. It needs to be earned. I'm perfectly fine with this arrangement.

[unlucky7]

Like I said, we'll see how it goes. If things work out, maybe keeping the name won't be a problem.

What time are we meeting tomorrow?

[trustheart]

When the museum closes their doors. Looks like that's at 8:00 PM.

[unlucky7]

Sounds good. I'm going to show up a little early to get a look at the layout.

[trustheart]

Good idea. I'll see you then?

[unlucky7]

See you then.
