From: Ginia
Date: March 25th

Looking for part time work? Interested in assisting with prayers across Japan? The God of Fortune, Ebisu, is hiring for multiple positions at his temple. Applicants with skills and/or knowledge in office support, customer service, technical support, languages, agriculture, manufacturing, and fishing are highly welcome, though all skill levels are welcome to apply.

Hours are flexible, pay starts at 4000 yen/hour. Higher rates can be negotiated depending on skills/knowledge. No naming required. Additional benefits include on-site meals, travel options across Japan, and training in shinki spells.

Questions can be asked here or directed to Ebisu. Interested applicants should contact Ebisu directly to set up an appointment.

---

Speaking more candidly, any help is welcome. Even if you can only spare a few hours you will be properly compensated for your time and do a great service to the temple. The majority of work is office-based, but there are plenty of field opportunities too.

Hmmm. I'm interested, although I do not think office work is for me.

[She might have some things lined up with Hibiki, but she's also not used to not having money.]

[unlucky7]

As I mentioned, we do have work in the Near Shore more often than not. The main departments at Ebisu's temple are media, tourism, fishing, agriculture, and manufacturing. I'm sure we could find work for you in the media or tourism departments.

[Rather, as those are the departments Ginia works in, she knows exactly the kind of work there is and what she could find for Tsubasa.]

[beyondtheblade]

If you think there is something you could help me find, I would be most grateful.

I should note, I do have one other skill set - I'd consider myself fairly proficient as a mechanic. I've done my own work on my motorcycle more often than not.

[Can't be asking other people to do it before she wrecks those bikes.]

[unlucky7]

Mechanic? That would be quite useful for the manufacturing department. They often have prayers relating to repairs or seeking input or assistance on designs.

Will you send in a message to Ebisu to arrange an appointment? You can note you spoke with me (and you know me) and that I think you'd work well in manufacturing, media, or tourism.

[beyondtheblade]

Ah, good! So I have a few options, then.

I shall do so. It could be a good chance to get to know some other people around here, as well.

[trustheart]

I can handle stuff like office support, language, security, and media, though you didn't list all of those. I have experience in student government and as a member of a government agency as my credentials.

[Not to mention, forming a relationship with Ebisu's temple sounds like a good idea from a "making connections" perspective, and would only benefit her own temple by helping with prayers.]

[unlucky7]

We always need help with translating documents. There's also a media department that covers a pretty broad range.

2/2 [Private to Chris]

[unlucky7]

Seriously, if you want to help, we can find work for you. It'd help me out a lot, professionally and personally.

Feel free to mention you're my god if you apply.

[trustheart]

Thanks, Ginia. I really appreciate this.

... I'm gonna have to get Luger to help me prepare a proper resume.

[unlucky7]

I can look over things, but trust me, you'll be fine.

To be honest, unless anyone tries to cause trouble or hurt anyone here, we're not in a position where we can turn away help.

[trustheart]

I get it. Still figure it's good to put my best foot forward, right?

[hypomeneo]

Freelance detective work?

[One of Iskandar's shrines is a lawyers' office and the prayers coming in from there are interesting and varied. Besides... he's begun freelancing for the firm on his own. Satya's already a consultant and that's opened a door. That and he does random quick acts of kindness for the nearby police station when he has time and usually while on other business. Usually by using his skills to adjust a search grid or help point officers in the correct direction of what they're seeking. Very satisfying.]

[unlucky7]

If you're offering such services/skills, I have seen some more legal/investigative-focused prayers. Patent disputes, embezzling, and ownership disputes, things like that.

[hypomeneo]

Indeed I am, with the caveat that any case assigned may also be taken up by Iskandar or Satya or rejected outright if they conflict with a prayer from Iskandar's own followers.

One of our shrines is based in a legal office you see.

[He'll see if he wins the police station for Iskandar for more followers. That's the grand strategy of it. Get a new way to look into the cult and if they can get access to police resources for an easier hunt. If successful, he'll hit the government next, just for a foothold. Never know when you might need a well placed follower to do a favor or two.

... of course this might backfire and they might worship Waver. That's a factor that he hasn't quite considered.]

[unlucky7]

I'll leave the legal discussion to Ebisu and HR, but that seems agreeable enough. I'm sure they can write up a contract that includes Iskandar or Satya so they can also be compensated.

I've seen the shrine in Ginza. Nice place. Have you been to the soba place two blocks away?

[A small voice speaks in rapid French, switching to rapid German, and then Latin and Ancient Greek. He knows he’s being a smug, insufferable little shit, but that’s what makes it fun. She had asked for languages, and he enjoys showing off.]

[unlucky7]

[The following reply is written in Spanish.]

Show off, but I won't deny it's impressive and useful. Hope you know you'll end up with a lot of office work this way. Everyone needs a translator.

[yasei]

I don't know if I know about all of those things but I do know a little bit about fishing and agriculture it seems and I'm always up for learning new stuff. I don't have a lot to do when I'm not at the restaurant, so I have some free time to fill up and I like Little Mister Ebisu.

[ Plus he's always looking for travel opportunities. ]

[unlucky7]

Having knowledge in fishing and agriculture is a great start, I'm sure we can teach you other things.

We'll gladly take whatever time you want to spare. Out of curiosity, what restaurant do you work at?

[yasei]

Really? That's good! I like learning new things so that's great.

It's one called Die Jagd down at the Near Shore.

[unlucky7]

We're always happy to have people willing to learn.

Can't say I've heard of it. I'll have to check it out. Where is it at?

[whip_poor_will]

Does being omnilingual make me qualified enough?

[unlucky7]

That's impressive. Not even going to question it.

Do you have any preferences for where you would or wouldn't like to work? Along with fishing, agriculture, and manufacturing, there are also departments in media, tourism, and medical services.

[whip_poor_will]

That would be the wiser decision.

[Ravine isn't sure she wants to go into the gritty details of what she is, beyond a god of death.]

I suppose I could dabble into agriculture and tourism. Perhaps more of the latter... I have been to many places, you see.

[unlucky7]

We could always start you in tourism. There's always a need for translation work. Tour guide work if you don't mind helping in person.

By the way, new arrival? I don't recognize your name.

[Or rather, god name. Ereshkigal stands out if only because Chris is the current representation of Ishtar and she knew the god representing Inanna in passing.]
