[freezetheheavens]

Are you busy?

[trademark_skull]

[Wait what]...Not at this moment.

Did something happen?

[freezetheheavens]

No, but there's something I want to give you.

[Seems a bit strange, doesn't it?]

[trademark_skull]

[...Yes. Yes it does.]

Give me something? What for?

[freezetheheavens]

It may help you. Are you at your temple?

[trademark_skull]

[Help...?]

I am.

-> Action!

[freezetheheavens]

[To be fair, Toushirou could have done a lot better in talking, but he's usually the type of person who hates talking, too.

So, it'd be a minute or two before he suddenly appears at Emizel's temple. However, he has a pair of black butterflies with red grooves flying around him. Sorry for the unannounced visit.]

[trademark_skull]

[A few of Emizel's own butterflies have taken an interest in him, and especially the two newcomers. Before Emizel had even arrived and could see it himself.]

Are those more butterflies?

[They look slightly different from the rest. He had at least known his residents' that well.]

[freezetheheavens]

[he spares Emizel's butterflies a greeting glance before looking at the other god.]

They're from my world. Do you remember what I told you about the Hell butterflies?

[trademark_skull]

--Right! These are them..? [Not sure why he had to ask that. It was pretty damn obvious.]

How did they get here though?

[freezetheheavens]

Possibly by the same thing that brought us here.

[One of the butterflies perches on Toushirou's shoulder while the other flies over to Emizel in greeting.]

In any case, I was planning on letting you have one so that it may help you.

[amongthethorns]

I recall promising you cookies and various other sweets. I'll be having a small get together at my temple September 3rd and I would like for you to join us. Please feel free to bring your Shinki as well.

[He's even enclosed a map and directions for good measure.]

November 15th-voice

[trapperkeeper]

[After almost being eaten by an evil forest, Lann is pretty sure he won't last much longer if he can't find a god. And he did have at least one offer.

He tries unsuccessfully not to sound awkward as all honk when leaving this message.]

Hey dude! This is Lann. We um, talked on the phone before and you said you had room for more shinki? If you're still offering I'm still... godless.

[trademark_skull]

[Oh - it's you again.]

I still do.

...None of your other plans worked huh? [Poor guy.]

[trapperkeeper]

[Siiiigh]

Not so much...

[trademark_skull]

[He feels for you...]

Well..

[A bit tentative. Should Emizel take in another shinki? How does he know for sure they were going to get along? Or that he won't wreck his temple.]

[There is also what whole thing they warned about inviting strangers to temples at the moment. But Lann doesn't look that suspicious.]

You..can come stay for awhile, if you want. I got a lotta room.

[Giving it a shot, for now.]

[trapperkeeper]

Thanks dude.

[This is his current best chance so he has to go for it.]

And hey, if you give me a chance I bet I'll surprise you.

[That's one way to put it.]

Let me come with you on a prayer.

[That's roughly the shinki equivalent of a job interview, right?]

[trademark_skull]

[It sure is. And Lann sounds way more of a combat savvy shinki than Viktor was. Emizel shook his head.]

I did say I would take you if no one else would. [And he should stay true to that word. Even if he was hesitating now.]

But if you want to do a prayer with me, that is possible too.

[A trial run, so to speak.]

[trapperkeeper]

Awesome! Let's go kick some ayakashi butt! You totally won't regret this.

[Probably.]

So, uh, what were you the god of again?

[Yeah.]

[trademark_skull]

I am Thanatos, the god of death.

[How forboding.]

...

But my real name is Emizel.

[trapperkeeper]

Death, huh? I can work with that.

[It is sort of foreboding, but at least it's easy to remember. He was never too sure what Asteria was god of. Something to do with stars maybe?]

So what kinda prayers do you get?

[He's a little excited to actually get involved in a prayer. Because he... hasn't yet. Neither of his previous gods ever took him on one.]

[trademark_skull]

Small stuff.

I get quite a few from people cooping from a recent death, and stuff like that.

[It's different than having to reap the souls himself. He never thought he would be doing this kind of thing specifically.]

I'm sure I can find one for the two of us to do.

12/24-Starlight Presents

[onedrinkwithme]

[There is a large basket on his temple's front steps. It is filled with various homemade treats including cat shaped gingerbread, items for hot chocolate, and other homemade hard candies.

Not only that but inside said basket is this hoodie and plush. Because everyone loves cats and it looks comfy. There is a card on there, decorated with cat heads wearing santa hats and a greeting:

'Happy Starlight, Emizel!

-Aymeric and Mandragora']

[pure_radiantics]

[ Emizel receives an undercover-mouse cat toy, which makes the 'mouse' run around the edge of the circle when turned on, and an electronic stick toy with a butterfly dangling from it, wobbling in various directions when turned on. ]

Merry Christmas, Emizel!

A little something for you and any furry friend(s) you encounter to enjoy together! I thought it would help keep them distracted from your other butterflies. Can't wait to become better friends in the coming new year!

12/24

[purr_ince]

[Emi will find two large gift baskets on top of a rather large scratching post. It's stuffed with cat toys - balls with bells, mice that squeak, tinsel and shiny balls, toys with fake dangling feathers. There's baggies of various treats, a container of catnip. There's a grooming glove and a few collars just in case Emi doesn't have them.

The other is just as big stuffed with an assortment of candies and toys - things ranging from a few cat squishies to bubbles, a Frisbee, slime, glow-in-the-dark stars and a few games. A large dinosaur-cat plush and a hand-made cat plush.]

Happy Christmas, Emizel. -Adrien
