Thank you, thank you. I do know how to pull an audience.
[GUILT TRIP
but senri will hold both his hands up by his head, and make a gesture as if checking his sleeves]
As you can see, there's nothing in my hands and nothing up my sleeves currently but - oh, what's this? Ishirin-san, would you mind bending down a little please?
Mm, much! Yep, I was right. It looks like you've got -
[and reaches up like he's plucking something from behind ishi's ear - and when he retracts his hand, he's holding a bright red rose. it's thornless and senri smiles]
Ahh, it's so pretty! I'm sure it's meant for you, Ishirin-san.
[that's endearing? that's really cute, actually, and ishi absolutely sounds delighted, his smile brightening further.]
So you truly do know magic. I'm impressed, Nito-kun.
[if nothing else, isn't making someone smile a magic of its own? he's heard as much more than once.
now let me ruin this cute thread by saying how hard it is to type anything about accepting a rose without wanting to make a bachelor joke the one time i definitely cannot]
[he better be here for six weeks, save these kids?
but he accepts it with a little nod, head slightly tilted at that last bit.]
Is that so? Then I suppose I cannot let you fail such a mission. [it seems harmless enough, aka i am now waiting for you to tell me It's Not.] For what purpose were you told to do so, if I might ask?
It's a token from him! I think he wants to talk with more people too, so I'm sure speaking to someone as nice and calming as you would be really good for him.
I've met with a few.... I've heard that Disorder, Ambition, and Ruin are pretty scary to deal with - and hard to handle. Some people have gotten cursed as a result of trying to talk to them too.
If Ishirin-san tries to see them, I think it's better to be careful.
Think you can keep me posted when you do? I'm trying to gather as much info as possible - and spread it around to people too. I just wanna make sure we're all getting told the same thing by all the gods.
Of course. If nothing else, I will let you know if I am unsuccessful, so that you know what not to try.
[he considers a moment, though, and-]
I have left offerings for them that at least did not seem to offend any of them enough to respond with a curse, but then I also was not trying to contact them. Perhaps they mind it less if one isn't attempting to truly get their attention.

why NOT
[senri hums a little]
I know that I got super freaked out by the fortune telling room, but I have a little surprise of my own. I know some magic, Ishirin-san. Wanna see?
NO YEETING!!
[so he nods, apparently willing enough to indulge senri in whatever sort of surprise this happens to be.]

[so he can fUCKING REACH ISHI'S HEAD]
no subject
Of course, of course. Is this better?
[senri does sound like he knows what he's doing, he'll go along with it-- and okay, ishi can't deny being curious, watching him with some interest.]

but senri is super happy? he thinks that this is really sweet and he holds out the rose for ishi to take]
Thank you, thank you, I'll be here for six weeks, I think!
But I'd be happiest if you would take it, Ishirin-san. Beauty gave me a special mission to entrust it to people that I think would accept it.

It's a token from him! I think he wants to talk with more people too, so I'm sure speaking to someone as nice and calming as you would be really good for him.

ishi hums thoughtfully there, glancing down to the flower for a few moments.]
In that case, I will see what I can do. I've meant to speak with more of them as it is.
no subject
[senri's been
busy?]
no subject
[after a brief pause, he adds:]
Though one of those believed roughly half of them have come into this with good intentions. Perhaps we've simply met the right ones.
no subject
[he's only scared of like. three.
he'd like to know if he should be scared of more?]
no subject
[and he doesn't like the idea of it much either, honestly.]
Though I cannot say I've spoken with enough of them yet to tell you whether I agree.
no subject
If Ishirin-san tries to see them, I think it's better to be careful.
no subject
[he gives senri a reassuring little smile, there.]
I have not tried speaking with any of those just yet, but I will keep that in mind when I do.
no subject
[what are the rules!!]

[he was just. leaving them for every god, tbh.]
