Like I said. They arrange time and death to suit their purposes, often overreaching the influence of other gods, in other worlds, who ought to be in control of those things. Then they claim they can't do their own gardening? "Improbable" doesn't stretch far enough to cover it.

[Mistrust. All of the mistrust. And suspicion of an ulterior motive.]

Without proper information, it's hard to come to a conclusion. I share your mistrust, but I do feel we need to know more.

The only information we have is what they tell us. Until we can dig up something more reliable, I'm not taking their word for it.

[Frustration's surging up to the front again- resentment, too. :|b]

[winces, closing his eyes]

Yes. That's... sensible.

[It subsides again to an uneasy mutter in the background but doesn't fade completely.]

Speaking of the gardening we're supposed to be taking care of- if you can't handle yourself in a fight, stay clear of the wild areas. Just about everything out there is deadly.

I will.

And the poison extends to the water, as well.

[ugh gods]

This is some world.

Welcome to Thusia.

[sardonic smile]

Why, thank you.

[Bitterrrr.]

Not at all.

I'm Xavier Elder.

Ashikawa Mitsuru.

It's nice to meet you.

Mm. The same.

[Mechanical formality; no genuine feeling behind that. :|b]

[shakes his head ruefully]

Is there anything else I should know?

Mm. Space is limited. For the time being, we're unable to leave this building; every room that needs clearing has to be cleared by force. The plants and animals have overrun the inside, as well.

And our abilities?

Also limited. Severely so.

[that might actually be a blessing]

That was most helpful. Also, should any ... weaknesses slip by for our patrons, then could you pass it along?

[For you, maybe.]

You had something in mind?

Not yet.

I'll share if something comes up... if you do.

[Intrigued, sharp interest.]

Of course.

Then we have an agreement.
