Selyir

[oi_theoi]

Selyir Shadows, Security, Servitude	❧ Played by Ten
Appearance: Selyir makes it a point to always be lurking in shadows, or standing right behind people, so most people never get the chance to see the god. The only identifiable feature anyone can ever make out, aside from the presence of shadows, is the voice; a deep, mature, and fluid male voice, reminiscent of a man well into his 60s. Characteristics: Professional, organized, protective, subservient, gentlemanly, private, teasing, prideful. Likes: Dedication, orderliness, organization, tasks completed in the background/shadows, efficiency, granting feelings of security/safeness, assisting others, complying with orders. Dislikes: Messes, wasted energy, idleness, lack of protection, feelings of unease due to a lack of safety, selfishness, uncompleted tasks.
Shrine: A single tassled black rope of fine quality hanging from the ceiling to waist-level in the shadow of Eizon's shrine. Ritual: Pull the rope to earn a brief 'gong' noise and Selyir's attention.

Day 54, Morning

Re: Day 54, Morning

[Sitting pretty like a proper lady]

[oi_theoi]

[ There is a very distinct lack of god in the area, but a voice does speak up from the shadow of Ambre's nearby shrine. ]

How may I serve you both?

[ergaleomancer]

My 'mistress' would like some tea.

[oi_theoi]

Does she require a specific blend?

[ergaleomancer]

What kind of tea would you like?

[misterious]

Any variety of Gyokuro, or of comparable quality, if that's available, please.

[Super fancy Japanese tea yes :3]

[ergaleomancer]

As the lady says.

[oi_theoi]

I believe I can accommodate. Do you have any prepared trade ready?

[ergaleomancer]

I came to enquire about the cost.

[So. Obviously. Resenting. Every. Moment.]

[oi_theoi]

Given the current circumstances, it would be difficult to name my standard price. Unless you have a third party not participating in my tasks and capable of retrieving the necessary items from outside.

[ergaleomancer]

No. I don't generally keep 'friends'.

[oi_theoi]

They need not necessarily be friends, simply someone willing or in some way compensated to assist you.

Otherwise I would have to request that you spend some time assisting someone else.

[ergaleomancer]

Serving others in this manner is beneath me.

[oi_theoi]

If you do not wish to operate under my domains, my only suggestion would be to seek the services of another god.

[ergaleomancer]

I rather have to at the moment.

[oi_theoi]

Then I ask that you do not insult them. Servitude is not the manner of placing yourself 'beneath' someone in any fashion and I would prefer it not be seen as such.

[ergaleomancer]

I am an ergaleomancer. It's an ergaleomancer's duty to serve the people and work for the betterment of the nation. I've nothing wrong with the concept of 'servitude' but these specific tasks are menial and beneath human dignity. We have machines tend to such basic things where I come from.

[oi_theoi]

I cannot say I agree with such a view, as assisting one in the basic necessities and pleasures of life is the root of all further services and these tasks accomplish that in quite the simplest manner, though should you feel that they require an additional level of complexity I would recommend requesting such of your master.

[ergaleomancer]

No, just the easiest thing to get this over with as soon as possible.

[oi_theoi]

Currently you are only required to clean one of your rooms for the task I asked of you both earlier. Clean both and I will provide the requested item.

[ergaleomancer]

Excellent.

[misterious]

[So this means going to my room. I don't like people in my room.

Sel, you're not being a bro right now. But the only reaction is default linefacinggggggg.]

[On the other hand, the room is pretty much immaculate save for maybe one pencil out of place.]
