From: Tajimamori

Wow, it feels depressing to have so many posts about people disappearing. But I guess I should tell you all... Battler's gone. I'm sorry to his friends, but I didn't revoke his name, and it's gone for sure.

Maybe he'll come back like Hisoka did, though! Don't give up hope.

Anyway, I don't want that to be all I say. So how about I introduce myself? I know there's a lot of new people here I haven't met yet! I'm Tajimamori, the god of sweets, but you can call me Tsuzuki. Or Asato if you like, ha ha ♥

I got here right around Valentine's Day this year, and I was a god of death for a long time before that. (Don't ask how long! I'm still a young man!) But if you've got questions I might be able to answer them. Or if you just want to tell me a little about yourself that's fine too.

Let's be friends!

A god of death to a god of sweets? [Sounds like an upgrade to her.] Do you know what made them switch you? If you don't mind me asking.

[It's absolutely an upgrade and Tsuzuki's thrilled with it. Mostly. The problems don't have anything to do with Tajimamori's job, anyway.]

Well I wasn't a god of death in this Heaven. That was with the Summons Department. Different place completely.

I've been Tajimamori here since the start.

The Summons Department? [This all means nothing to her, of course, but she suspects that even with all her memories it still wouldn't mean anything.]

But there are plenty of gods associated with death, aren't there? Why were you chosen to be a god of sweets here instead of continuation, I wonder? [And then, with text that somehow seems to convey more panic, she adds:] I'm sorry, that's rather rude of me to ask like that. The Heavens haven't revealed why for anyone, have they.

Nope. It's a good question though.

I was pretty terrible as a god of death. Worst record in the whole department! So, I figure, they definitely wouldn't give me the same job here. I don't know why sweets, except I've always liked them.

And cooking is fun too! So I guess it's because that's my hobby.

I'm not sure if having a bad record when you're a god of death would be a good thing or a bad thing. But I'm sorry you had that job, it must have been rough.

[SHe's a little envious though. God of sweets!! What a good deal.] Sweets are my favorite as well. Do you live in a gingerbread temple? [She's only half-joking bc honestly a gingerbread house set up for a god of sweets would be A+ but she's glad she's not his shinki. She'd eat them into homelessness.]

Well, it was bad for my paycheck.

Anyway, though, it's a good thing I don't live in a candy house! I'd eat it all. I've got a pretty nice garden around my place, though. Let me know if you want some flowers to spruce up your god's temple, I've got lots.

[Why couldn't she get this guy as a god? Why was life so unfair? She's sure she was stuck with who she had for a reason--she had to believe that much, at least--but what exactly that reason would be is lost on her.]

I love gardening. What kind of flowers do you have? I'm not sure if my god would like the idea of flowers, though, and here isn't really an space to plant them, unfortunately.

I go to the Near Shore and take care of the parks' flowers often, though. That's good enough for me.

Really? You like gardening, too? I've got a bunch of sunflowers here, plus azaleas, hydrangeas -- Shuichi gave me a camellia, and it's doing really well in that shady spot over by the wall.

There's sour oranges in the back, and they're blooming right now, too.

You know, I've got a bunch of beds in the back I haven't gotten around to planting. If you want a place to plant some of your own, you could have one!

What? [no, really, what]

I can't accept something so generous, I haven't done anything to earn or deserve such a thing.

You'd be helping me out! Like I said, they're just bare flowerbeds right now. Whatever you wanted to do with them would look better than that.

But. You don't even know me. What if I do a terrible job instead? You'd have to redo everything and it'd only give you more work to do.

[Look she just wants to make sure you've totally thought this through, okay??]

I bet you'll do okay.

And if the flowers die or it winds up looking weird, I could give you pointers. You know, if you want.

You have a lot of faith in a stranger. [Which isn't really a bad thing, but it makes her a bit nervous.

She doesn't answer for a long moment, internally warring with herself over what to do here, before deciding that not answering is even worse than giving the wrong one.]

I think I'd like that. I'll have to go and find your temple sometime. I'm afraid the temple I live at right now doesn't accept visitors.

Sure, anytime! It's hard to miss. It's got a big thatched roof, and sunflowers out front.

... Does it not accept visitors because your god doesn't want any, or is there something about the temple?

[That's actually... kind of weird. He blinks.]

[She hesitates a moment and chooses her words carefully. Thank god for text, honestly.]

My god is simply very private, I suppose. I don't think he even wants people to know where it is, let alone come over, so I have to go out of my way sometimes to meet someone. I suppose it's just easier to meet people on the near shore.

Oh. Well, hey, I don't mind if you come over! Anytime.

Sorry to hear it, though. That's gotta be tough to deal with.

Oh, no, it's alright. I don't have friends so it's not as though people come to visit me. I don't mind.

[Jennifer...........]

Just because you don't know anybody yet doesn't mean you won't make friends! I guess there's nothing to be done about it if he doesn't want company over, though.
