[Voice message from Surtr.]

Yo, this is Reika from the beach. Did you find her?

[adventurology]

[And a call from Athena right back.]

I did, thank you kindly, Reika.

Have you been well?

[heatupnever]

Same as usual. [Blowing off god-work, she means.]

How 'bout you? Been okay?

[adventurology]

Busy, but well enough.

[not blowing off work, but...]

How's the info gathering going? Any leads on the zombies?

[heatupnever]

Not a one. [But it's not like her info-gathering is vigorous or anything. Back when she was alive, other people used to take care of that. She's not going to say as much, though.]

What are you busy with?

[adventurology]

Well, fighting the monsters of course. Working with a new shinki, and...ah...just sort of doing what I can to help people around here.

[heatupnever]

Sounds...admirable. [Awkward pause as she's reminded of someone she'd rather not think about. He'd wanted to help a certain group of people, but of course Lara (and other people for that matter) isn't like him.]

Uh, anyway, I just passed by someone who mentioned that name earlier and that's why I thought of you. I'm glad you found her.

[adventurology]

[Lara huffs a little laugh.]

Appreciate the thought. Truly. Felicia's settling in nicely. You should come by sometime, if you fancy a bit more of my cooking, too.

[heatupnever]

Heh, maybe I will. Think my shinki likes to cook, too, I'll bring him along.

[adventurology]

He'd be more than welcome. what's his name?

[heatupnever]

Shuusei. You know him? Told me he'd cook whatever I wanted, but I don't know if he was just being polite.

[adventurology]

I don't, but I'd take the offer at face value. Can't hurt, after all.

[heatupnever]

Heh. Maybe? [Guy had a weird death, so she doesn't know about that. Then again, weirder people have had weirder hobbies.] Seems like that wouldn't be one of the first things a shinki would think to do, you know?

[adventurology]

Unless it's repressed thoughts coming back. Mine was a maid in her old life, and she jumped right into the role now.

[heatupnever]

Yeah, I guess. Just seems like, if someone got a second chance at living...

—Ah, well, my bad, I'm rambling.
