[video, 15th June, Nesir Aeser] Job seeking?

[disregardeddagger]

[Nesir's still not really sure how these phones work but she's got the basics down. Not that she's tried talking on the message boards yet. It felt strange when she could just speak to them face to face without the trouble of pressing buttons and not accidentally pressing the wrong thing on the glass.

But she did admit it seemed a good way to reach multiple people at once and she can do it whilst being physically out of the way.

On a rooftop actually. It had seemed the safest place to spend the night, after waking up in a heap of rubble.]

My name is Nesir Aeser. I have been here about three weeks and was serving Noctis, the god Nox. He is gone now. [She sounds pretty matter of fact about that. She had been aware such things would happen, though it had not prepared her for the suddenness when it actually happened.]

Are there any gods in need of a shinki? I can fight with a variety of weapons, I turned into a dagger for Noctis though that might not mean anything going forwards. I'm decent at climbing. I probably have other skills I haven't figured out yet.

[That might be a lie, she's figured bits and pieces but she isn't about to announce them over this phone. She can explain further is she actually gets any gods interested in naming her.]

Please tell me if I should actually be letting the heavens know and being officially reassigned or something.

"Some did. Some were very opposed to the very idea and even questioned my lineage. I never met my godly father but there were many signs to those that chose to believe them. Those that didn't I would not try to convince. I had no need for people that can be swayed by skilled orators. If it is not their own decision to heed my words than I would not be able to count on their loyalty later."

He's been almost too late for the age of the gods. Sometimes he thought they really left. Zeus had many children. Their stories passed into legend either heroic or tragic or both. But none in his time. Sometimes he thought he's the last one.

It was so different then than here.

"That's true enough, forced loyalty is very rarely true." She says, as if she has any experience or knowledge. At least the remembrance of any. But she still feels he was right, if people could not be convinced then they would be no use to him.

"I guess there is no doubt now, no one will deny that you are indeed a god."

As he was here in heaven. A god with a temple, prayers to hear and shinki to serve him. He must have followers who prayed, people who believed in him and trusted him to help them.

[Iskandar laughs.]

Yes, they rather won't.

[Even if being acknowledged as divine was never his top priority. He knew who he was. It didn't matter if others chose to believe it or not. He loves his followers as much as he always loved his people and yet ... There's something he will not tell her. Something he would never utter in presence of any shinki. Ever. That he would much prefer to be human, mortal and alive, than a god whom people don't see unless he makes a great effort for them to notice him. It is this disconnect that causes him the most pain.

Fortunately, it is time for Ada to emerge from the kitchen carrying a tray full of food.]

[disregardeddagger]

[She nods and falls silent, she senses he is thinking though she couldn't even begin to think about what. She has no idea of the thoughts of god even if her short time with Noctis had taught her that gods were not that much different than humans.

Ada emerges with food and Nesir stands to help her. It all smelled pretty delicious.]
