So if you were serving one god, but then they left and you got assigned to another god and you have to move all your stuff into their temple and you live there now, should you still bring a gift or something when you go there for the first time? Like what kind of gift? Flowers? Cake? A television?

I don't know if they have a television.

If they don't have a television, do you think I could just bring that as a gift even if I was the one who was going to watch the little people on it?

So that's a thing? Being reassigned to another god if your previous one is gone?

[ittenbari]

Yeah, it is. I never really thought about it either, but that's what they do. I guess if someone calls dibs, they get to pick you up but if no one says anything, you kinda go where they put you.

[lostinshadows]

Doesn't sound like something I'd want to be a part of.

Have you met your new god then?

[blizzardrock]

Cake is a pretty safe option. Unless they don't like cake. Then you should bring the flowers.

[He's only halfway kidding about the flowers, even.]

If they do have a television, I don't see why you shouldn't keep it. But it's more fun with other people!

[ittenbari]

So maybe cake and flowers? But isn't that like what you'd bring on a date?

[He really only knows about those from TV, but he's pretty sure he remembers that much. They probably should have spent more time answering prayers and less time watching TV...]

I don't want her to think I want to marry her.

[blizzardrock]

Haha...that would certainly be going too fast. How well do you know her?

[From his own meeting with the god he was reassigned to... some things you can just tell. Like a possible addiction to sweets, for example...]

Everyone loves flowers!

[ Says the flower god. ]

[ittenbari]

Yeah? Like what kind of flowers? The kind you buy all fancy and arranged in a store or do you think I could just pick some?

[glazedonutholes]

Well, that depends on the person you're trying to give them too. I always say pretty fancy things are the way to go, but some people like the sentimental touch. It really depends on what your god would like.

By the way, who is your god?

[nailed_navigation]

If you are attempting to bring favor to your new god, may I suggest to do some research on what in particular your god is in charge of and then select something from under their supervision?

[ittenbari]

I guess that kind of makes sense if it's something they sell in stores, but what if it was something like fire or something? Would I set something on fire? You'd think they'd be like "whoa that's on fire!" and not really "thank you!" I mean, it's probably not anything like that, but I haven't really looked into it.

When it comes to gift-giving, it's often best to think of why you want to give them something in the first place and secondly what you would want to receive in turn. While someone might not turn away a television, it isn't often that someone receives one out of nowhere.

I say play it safe. Something small and easily used by everyone. Might I recommend a bottle of champagne? It's often the spirit of choice when celebrating a memorable occasion.

[ittenbari]

I was pretty drunk when we first met, though. And isn't it weird to give a girl something like that? It seems kind of forward, doesn't it? I mean, she's cute, but that's moving way too fast even for me. What if she's married or something? You never know! I could be getting myself in deep shit. That's why I thought about a television because you can't really take a television the wrong way, right?

It's not very polite to give someone a gift if you're the one who plans to be using it.

Try flowers, or what Kazuma suggested about some object that suits their divine office.

[ittenbari]

But if we got cake, we'd both eat it, right?

Wait, if I bring her cake, does that mean I don't get to eat any cake?

I think it depends on the other person, not just whether or not they're a god. If they don't even know what a television is, I wouldn't get them one, or if they prefer outdoor activities or something like that.

I know you're trying to hide but if you try describing the person - your new god - I could try to give you some other ideas?

[ittenbari]

I don't really know much about her. I was kinda drunk... I guess kinda like a big sister. She wouldn't let me put sparklers in my mouth.

mackerel is a good gift

[ittenbari]

Cooked mackerel or just a fish?

the fuck is a television

and either bring something casual that anyone would like or tailor it to your god

[ittenbari]

Anyone would like a television! I didn't even know what they were before, but now I watch the little people inside them all the time!

[shufu]

If you head to the near shore there's many shops that specialize in this kind of thing! Just head to any station. Food is a good option because even if turns out they don't like it they can always share it with visitors instead~

[ittenbari]

Station? Like train stations?

from: carl adler

[smilingbullet]

Something that can be eaten is pretty common, I think.

You could still bring a tv even if they have one already, it doesn't hurt to have more than one.

[ittenbari]

See, that's what I was thinking! Can you watch two different things on two different TVs?
