So.

Um.

If your god leaves, are you supposed to go somewhere...? Or call someone...?

I ate too many manju and I think I'm gonna be sick.

I'm sorry for your loss.

You can either find yourself a new god if there's someone you trust, or you can wait until the Heavens reassign you.

Do you need stomach medicine?

[ittenbari]

I need a lot of stomach medicine.

So I can just wait? I won't disappear or anything? It happened right away last time and it didn't this time, so I ate all the manju instead.

[fullcowl]

Where are you right now? I can get you medicine.

Yes, waiting is an option. It seems like shinki get reassigned around the time newcomers arrive.

[ittenbari]

Still at the temple.

My stuff is still here and I'm gonna barf if I move.

Ross says I have to clean it up myself, so I can't move.

[fullcowl]

Who's temple was it? I'll be there soon.

[ittenbari]

Vesta

I think that's it

Do temples just sit around empty?

[fullcowl]

I think they usually disappear unless it's a Japanese god's.

I know where that is.

[He'll be there in a few minutes, with a bag of medicine.]

... Are you in?

[ittenbari]

[Sakon is not too far out of sight, sitting in front of one of the doors with his small bag of belongings on the ground next to him and looking rather unwell.]

Yeah, I'm here. How long does it take to disappear? I got outside just in case.

[He sounds miserable, but it may just be the nausea talking.]

[fullcowl]

Usually not very long.

[He'll go and hand the bag with stomach medicine and water over.]

If you need somewhere to stay I have extra rooms.

[ittenbari]

[Sakon takes them gratefully, then just kind of holds onto them awkwardly, frowning.]

Everyone wants me to stay with them, which is pretty nice, but I can only go one place, you know? I've only got one me, after all.

[fullcowl]

Nobody wants you to be stuck sleeping on a park bench.

It sounds like you've got plenty of places, at least. If it were me... I'd probably go somewhere I was already comfortable.

[ittenbari]

[He takes out the medicine and squints at the directions on the label while he talks.]

The only other temple I've really been to is the one Demyx lives at and I was kind of really drunk at the time. I mean, I guess I could go back, but I don't want to barf on anything again.

[Which would be what the medicine is for. Should he just take all of it?]

[fullcowl]

[There's a pause as Izuku watches him look at the directions.]

... Is that hard to read? Just take two pills with water for a stomachache.

If you take the medicine you won't throw up. It helps a lot with that.

[ittenbari]

Just two? Wouldn't more work better?

[The next step is getting the bottle open. He's mastered child-proof caps, though! He had to learn that one fast because they keep the painkillers in bottles like this and he's had enough hangovers that bottle-opening is a necessary skill.]

[fullcowl]

If you take more than two you're going to get sick. That's why there are directions telling how much you should take.

[ittenbari]

Medicine shouldn't make you sick!

[So many things he's learning here, not all of them good...]

[fullcowl]

That's why you follow the directions on the label.
