just checking you don't do any sacred prostitution stuff right

that was not on my career list

[he needs some reassurance here, okay.]

[ If Axel's expecting a text response, he's very wrong. Instead, his phone rings--and should he choose to answer it... ]

I do not engage in "sacred prostitution stuff," nor do I expect you to!

[doestheickyjobs]

Good! Great. Look, I just wanted to make sure there weren't any weird requirements for getting into your temple or anything, and somebody had this line about Aphrodite's priestesses.

Not like shinki are the same thing! But, hey, you know.

[Something's clearly wrong. He's just happy that's not it.]

audio

[turpitude]

I am shocked you even suggested such a thing! Even if someone else did, first.

[ Come on Axel you saw how she practically jumped out of her skin when you touched her. ]

I wonder, would it be possible to create some sort of barrier around you--to keep you from the effects of my temple?

audio

[doestheickyjobs]

Whoa now, I didn't mean you personally, I meant, you know --

[Actually, as he approaches the phrase, suggesting that she's pimping out her followers isn't a whole lot better than suggesting she's personally engaging in...

Yeah he's going with the subject change. She'll really kick him out if he keeps talking, otherwise.]

... Anyway.

Barrier, huh? Like how?

audio

[turpitude]

[ She's just going to not say a thing for a while because she's still mad.

... Well. ]

I am... not entirely sure, [ she admits, a bit sheepishly. ] But I'm sure we can figure out something!

I'm gonna go pick up a book on Aphrodite. Maybe going through some of the rituals might help if it's a thing that's got to do with divine power somehow.

You know -- flowers, cake, that kind of stuff.

[He shrugs helplessly. If the temple's looking for somebody pure at heart, Axel's not the guy it wants, but if it just wants him to go through some motions he'll give it a shot.]

[turpitude]

[ That doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. ]

It will be easier to work together, will it not? Please don't hesitate to let me know if you need assistance!

audio

[doestheickyjobs]

You've got a deal. Want to look over that book with me and make up a to-do list?

audio

[turpitude]

Of course. I shall meet you at the library.

audio

[doestheickyjobs]

See you in an hour.

[-- he says, and hangs up.]

audio

[turpitude]

I'll see you in-- well, if that isn't terribly rude...!

( ayy do you wanna thread or handwave this )
