[Why does it have to be this shitty god name..... he'll privately resent that. Anyway.]

I'm doing myself a favor and doubling down on that spring cleaning business. Anybody who's got a use for any of this stuff, it's yours, free of charge. Courtesy of yours truly.

There's more where all that came from. Come on down and I'll even wrap it for you.

[No he won't, but he'll happily give you free expensive stuff and/or free weird novelty items. Free him, his temple is full of this.]

And another thing, while I've got the floor, more or less: the markings that turn up on shinki, what's the meaning of that? Don't lecture me on the basics, my skull ain't that thick, but is there a particular reason they turn up in the places they do? Something to do with the name you give, maybe?

[churchbelle]

I'll be around all day, so come on down whenever you like. I'd be happy to help you get a few things to spruce up your place.

[He has Too Many decorations, give them a good home...]

[lilys_poise]

Thank you so much!
I'll be right over!
Which temple is it?

[She will be happy to. Elise has been wanting to redecorate her new home since she got here. And she has no money.]

[churchbelle]

Mine, of course. That is to say, it's the big white house with the porch swing in front. Western style, the works. Look northeast, it's hard to miss.

[It's three stories and massive, so.]

Move to action or handwave? I'm good with either.

[lilys_poise]

Great!
See you soon.

[A pause.]


Can I try out the swing while I'm there?

let's action!!

[churchbelle]

I don't see why not! I'm afraid you can't take that home with you, though.

[He's got jokes... But he'll be loitering at his temple whenever she stops by!]

[lilys_poise]

[Then it is not too long before Elise comes skipping happily up to the big house with the swing. Maybe they should get a swing too. It looks fun.

But she should probably knock before she tries out the swing. Probably...

Just a minute won't hurt.

So there's a young girl enjoying the porch swing. Sorry...]

[churchbelle]

[Yes, it's loads of fun. He highly recommends porch swings. He's just going around the house looking for more things to casually give away when he glances out the window and notices someone is out there, on the swing...

Well, she won't have to knock, because he opens the door himself to look at her.]

Good mornin', young lady.

[lilys_poise]

[Whoops. She totally meant to do that polite knocking thing. Elise hops off the swing quickly, looking just a little sheepish.]

Good morning! Um... I like your swing.

[churchbelle]

[What a polite young lady. Besides forgetting to knock, that's fine.]

It's nice, ain't it? You're the one here about the vase and the paintin', is that right?

[lilys_poise]

That's right!

[Biiiig smile. She has mostly good manners. She just forgets sometimes.]

I'm Elise. I'm a shinki for Helios. It's nice to meet you~

[churchbelle]

[Well, she's tiny and cute, so she's excused. That's probably how it works.]

I'm Hazel. Hazel Grouse. Helios— which one's that by their own name? I'm not too big on the "god" names, myself.

[lilys_poise]

[Being tiny and cute is what got her through life so probably.]

Yeah, I don't why everyone needs two names either.

[It does seem to be the popular thing around here though. Not just the gods either. The shinki get vessel names.]

His name is Konzen! He has kind of a grumpy face but he's actually super nice.

[The unsolicited opinion was probably completely necessary.]

[churchbelle]

[Oh, Konzen. That very pleasant guy who isn't a grump at all. Yes, that's the one.]

You don't say! Before ya said he doesn't really decorate at all, that true? Big shame. He must be a real stickler at home, even when he's nice.

[lilys_poise]

Well, I think the real problem is that he hasn't picked a favorite color yet. That makes it kind of hard to decorate.

[She still can't understand how anyone ever could possibly not have a favorite color. That's just... so weird.]

It's okay though. I have a plan to help him out.

[churchbelle]

[Just paint everything while he's not looking... that will surely work.]

Do ya now? What's that? Cross my heart, I won't tell a soul.

[lilys_poise]

[She leans forward and lowers her voice. In case anyone might actually care about her dumb plans be listening in.]

I'll just keep getting decorations in different colors until I find one he really likes. Then I'll know which color is his favorite.

[So clever.]

[churchbelle]

[This is the purest thing he's ever heard... That grump better be kind to this girl!!]

You're a lil genius, aren't ya? Well, ya can start with the paintin', colorful as it is. Wanna come look at it now?

[lilys_poise]

Heehee, thanks~!

[Elise likes to imagine that she's a master of subterfuge.

She's not, but pretending is always fun.]

Sure! And the vase too! That was super pretty.

[churchbelle]

Right, right, and the vase. C'mon in, I've got 'em right here.

[She doesn't have to come in further than the front hall, however, even though it doesn't look like there are any vases or paintings here... There aren't- but Hazel holds out his hands and the dragon-patterned vase pops into existence for him to catch, and after he puts it down he points at a spot to the left, where the painting similarly pops out of nowhere to lean against the wall.

He really doesn't need to do all the hand motions to use his god power, but he sure is going to show off...]

What do ya think? Still pretty in person?

[lilys_poise]

[They are pretty but she's too busy being completely floored by his magical wizardry!!]

Oh, wow! That's amazing! How did you do that?

[churchbelle]

[Yeah that's right... he's so cool!! Be impressed.]

Oh, it's just a lil talent of mine. Comes in real handy for things like this.

[lilys_poise]

I bet it comes in handy for lots of things! Can you do that with other stuff too?

[She can imagine all sorts of magical possibilities. Want to play a board game? Oh, here's one. Need some ice cream? Here it is! So amazing.]

[churchbelle]

Sure can! [It's the best thing ever. He leans down like he has a secret to continue,] If my shinki's bein' a baby about somethin', I can even send him to his room without supper.

[They're both children. He only sent Jae-Ha abruptly out of the room to prove a point once.]

[lilys_poise]

[Actually that might be an unfair use of cool powers. Self indulgence being totally fair of course. ]

Oh, but isn't that kind of mean? It's really hard to sleep when you're hungry...

[churchbelle]

[Pff, it's definitely mature. Trust him.]

Nah, it's fine. He's a good boy, very well-behaved.
