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.

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.]
no subject
I've seen the shrine in Ginza. Nice place. Have you been to the soba place two blocks away?
no subject
... not yet. Is it any good? I know Iskandar has been craving meat based dishes, so I've been on the lookout for those, but soba isn't something I've personally tried yet.
no subject
Do you want restaurants in Tokyo or do you want to go further out? Kobe has plenty of good places (as expected), but I can give you a list.
no subject
[Also Waver is curious. Would he like those things?
The answer is very much YES.]
no subject
[A minute later, a document is sent to Waver's phone.
The first main section is comprised entirely of places that specialize in wagyu beef, focusing not only on the famous Kobe beef, but Matsusaka, Yonezawa, and Ōmi beef too.
The second focuses on yakiniku and shabu-shabu, with notations for all-you-can-eat locations.
The third is more a general blend of restaurants with highlights for pork, chicken, and seafood.
The fourth is a listing of restaurants with all-you-can-eat options.
Each section is grouped by prefecture, further broken down into cities, and sorted by price point with additional notes. Addresses, phone numbers, websites, emails, and nearest train or subway stations are listed too.
Also included are maps he can easily load onto the app on his phone.]
no subject
[And he's gonna forward this to Iskandar now. Give him a sec.]
no subject
If you need a list for anything else, feel free to ask. I don't spend all day behind a computer for nothing.
no subject
There is one thing I would like to ask, but it's more... delicately confidential, I'd say. Is there any way to make this private? I'm not as talented with technology as Satya.
[Private here on out]
[In a separate text, Ginia sends directions on how to message someone privately.
And how to post and comment anonymously.]
[Private here on out]
I would like to know if Lord Ebisu's shinki had anything to say about a certain interview question. I'm sure you know the one.
The implications behind it are very unsettling. I understand if you don't want to speak of it here, even with this private.
no subject
no subject
But this place makes liars out of them all out of necessity. Waver will just smile and nod along and keep tally.]
The one about vessel resilience. That was the one that gave me most pause.
Sorry for the delay, finally got an answer
I asked about it and it comes down to your mental state. Confidence, focus, determination, your faith in your god, all that. Improve one or any of those and resilience follows.
The actual method seems to depend on whatever works for you. Personally, I'm leaning toward improving in rhythm games.
no subject
... faith is the sticking one, isn't it? Loyalty is one thing, but faith. A tricky thing when everyone plays the deception game.]
So along similar principals that power the shinki variant of magic, then? ... I can't say I'm surprised. Everything seems to keep coming down to some kind of belief.
no subject
And one day that tidy system broke and we came spilling out.
no subject
He needs Iskandar's support. He needs his respect. But care? No more than one person owes another.]
Belief somewhere changed, perhaps? Something was recognized, it built, it gained followers, it reached equilibrium and then finally tipped over... starting a cascade.
This is reminding me what I told Chris about the museum dolls.
no subject
Oh yeah? What was that?
no subject
So no... not always. Not for them and not for us.
... as for what it was? Who knows for sure right now. Maybe it was just a wish for better.
[Which... sounds like the cult, doesn't it? A wish for better. But really from who?
As for the rest, that feels true. But he states it with authority because... isn't that one of the big ones they face? The uncertainty of after. So he's making it a Truth. It is not over for them too.]
That there was bad luck in leaving the dolls up past a certain date, she said. Maybe that was what attracted the ayakashi.
I found it funny, because there, right there is belief in action. Leaving the dolls up is bad luck. Many people believe it. Therefore ayakashi. Negativity made manifest. Belief creating reality. A self fulfilling prophecy.
But they're still leaving the dolls up and well... that belief is being challenged, is it not? The times are changing as we all know, and there is always a tipping point where things begin to alter.
no subject
She's seen the implications surrounding her life, of the knowledge she knows and doesn't know, the brief flash of her life, what she can do and has done here. Don't look at the thread, don't pull on it, don't follow it down down down
because Ginia knows if she does, maybe she'll prove the thoughts she tries to ignore right.
That she is a bad, evil person. That there's no redeeming someone like her. That everything she's working for and toward is a lie and like everything else, she's going to destroy things.
"Your hands create words. They can do much more than kill. Remember that if nothing else." Someone told her that, though she can't remember who or when. They seemed so certain, but what if they were wrong?
Death is not necessarily the end of the story, no, but sometimes Ginia wants it to be. Let Ginia end so Jitsumi can live.]
I suppose there are two constants.
People always want things to be better.
The world will always change and move on.
I wonder if us being here really does any good. The longest person of the new generation has only been here for a little over a year. Nothing when compared to centuries or millennia of existence.
Yet three are recognized as Gods of Fortune. We are not insignificant, we are doing our part to help and be recognized, we rebel quietly against the order and band together in ways the old gods do not.
I wonder if it all matters. In another century, will all this be forgotten, a strange year unworthy of another thought.
Or maybe in a century, reform is happening. Who knows.
no subject
But he can't... and so they go writing...]
That depends on what we do and what we leave behind. No predicting the bloody future, but there's plenty of ways to leave a legacy. Not just the bold acts. The little things. Changing minds and beliefs. Even simply caring for each other.
Who knows what will spiral.
no subject
[The work never ends, but every bit counts. And maybe... maybe she made a small difference with Takami too.]
And provide some great eyecandy around the office.
no subject
Your devastatingly cheering sex appeal aside though, you made things easier for me that first day. Didn't stop there.
That's something that matters right there too.
no subject
Even with me ambushing you off the get go?
Good recovery though. Still real impressive.
