Gatchaman Hajime here! Hello hello~! G'morning!!! ☀

I'm here with better news this time but I do have a question! BUT FIRST:

MESSY-CHAN IS HERE~! ₊·*◟(˶ᗒ ᗨ ᗕ˵)◜‧*✮

They're a super great friend from back home! Messy-chan just poofed here! But I think this place, being so new and different from back home may have made them nervous! Messy-chan was running all around the temple, knocking things over and sucking them up before I could get Messy-chan's attention and calm Messy-chan down. I donno where they went to from there so if anyone sees an super adorable floating glowy multi-colored cube floating about, lemme know ASAP! c(＞ v＜)ゞ

Messy-chan is just super nervous. Soooo has anyone seen this cute alien floating around?

Cute right? Messy-chan is pretty harmless too! So don't be scared. If Messy-chan is gobbling anything up its safe and sound and can be spit it right back out! I'll be out and about looking for Messy-chan! Bye bye!

[Though this alien Rubik's Cube may be going all around the Far Shore sucking up things. Anything smaller then a bus is fair game. That includes people too. So Hajime is sorry in advance!
Normally people wouldn't be able to see an alien like Messy but there's always something different about gods and shinki, so Hajime is willing to bet they can!]

[Well, it's not like he wouldn't try to pull something like that if he could get away with it... it's fine as long as he's watching to make sure no one gets hurt, right? It's all in good fun!

Fun for Add, anyway. Not so much for Jakob.

He grins wryly, leaning back comfortably in his makeshift hover-chair.]

Do you really need that much time to prepare? You should be ready for these types of things in advance. Ah, maybe I'll time your trip through the temple as well. If you can't keep it under at least fifteen minutes I'll be disappointed.

T—Time me? [ Of all the arrogant—clearly Add has no idea how much time and work is being put into keeping his meals and lodgings nice and warm and fresh. And to have to take the trouble to impress their visitor too…

With a click of his tongue— ] Do as you will, then. [ Add is certainly well within his rights to, as his god. Even Jakob can’t really argue with that. ]

I will have her safely in your presence in under fifteen minutes, if that is what you truly desire. [ And that’s the only way he can frame this unpleasantness in order to make it a little less unpleasant from his perspective. ]

[... Seriously, Jakob? This is almost too easy. It's going to be really hard to get used to Jakob being so... servile.

Of course, this means he absolutely has to time him now. This is a scientific experiment to determine what lengths Jakob is willing to go through in order to follow Add's commands.]

Hmm.... alright.

And if you can't adhere to the time limit, you have to sleep outside tonight.

[gentilitea]

Outside?! [ WOW, just because he doesn’t sleep as often as other people do!! What if he goes and sleeps over at Roxas’s temple? Or just pull an all-nighter doing some gardening because it’s not as if he’s never done it before? ]

Must you subject me to every indignity—

[subtract]

[He's kidding!! Mostly kidding. Well, he wants to see if Jakob would actually go through with it, but he'd probably feel bad if he actually did end up trying to sleep outside...]

Oh? So you really think you'll fail? If my shinki can't even navigate my own temple, that's quite an issue... how can I be sure I can rely on you? Perhaps you're not cut out to work with me after all. [he's definitely still kidding but he might be having a little too much fun with Jakob]

[gentilitea]

[ Kidding is for guys who don’t have butlers forced to take everything you say seriously. As it stands, he is quite at his mortal limit: ]

Ten minutes.

[subtract]

... Ten minutes? Very well, then. Make it under ten minutes.

[Jakob is now trolling himself thanks to Add's efforts. This is truly his greatest accomplishment thus far... though he's finally starting to get the impression that Jakob is taking this 100% seriously. He dials his shit-eating grin down a couple notches.]

You know, that would be quite an accomplishment. If you actually manage to pull that off, I'll be impressed. Although the likelihood of that occurring is quite low...

[gentilitea]

What sort of shinki would I be if I could not accomplish such a simple task?

[ Except it’s not simple, and escorting a bubbly kid and her pet cube is bound to complicate things. And Jakob isn’t even sure that he understands the full range of Add’s powers over his temple.

These are trying times indeed. ]
