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 27, evening]

[lostontheroadoflife]

[pulling the rope.

gosh. Konoha ninja has those shells from the two stiltwalkers he killed on his first day]

[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, Sir?

[lostontheroadoflife]

[eying the shadow]

The terminal says you have hidden weapons... would you be able to provide kunai and shuriken to start with?

[oi_theoi]

Yes, Sir. How many do you require?

[lostontheroadoflife]

[new favorite god. all the ninja weapons]

However many these will get me.

[indicating indoor-stiltwalker shells]

[oi_theoi]

Five kunai and five shuriken per shell, Sir, if that is acceptable.

[lostontheroadoflife]

... what else would you need to have the number doubled?

[oi_theoi]

Would the assumption that you are a trained fighter with experience in stealth be an accurate one, Sir?

[lostontheroadoflife]

Much more accurate than others have interpreted.

[oi_theoi]

I request the use of your shadow then for a tour of the immediate unsecured perimeter surrounding current living areas, Sir.

[lostontheroadoflife]

My shadow?

[oi_theoi]

Yes, Sir. I would take occupancy of your shadow and observe the area for myself from there.

[lostontheroadoflife]

... would this impede on my movements? If I get caught in a volatile situation...

[oi_theoi]

No, Sir. I will be matching my movement and self to that of your shadow, so you personally will feel no effect.

[lostontheroadoflife]

... then I agree with this arrangement.

[oi_theoi]

Thank you Sir. Whenever you are available to accompany me then.

[lostontheroadoflife]

Tomorrow should be fine.

[oi_theoi]

I shall see you tomorrow then, Sir. Once the tour is complete, I will provide you with the rest.

[ The shadows under Ambre's shrine shimmer for a second, then a shadow blob rises out of the shadows, forming into the shape of a briefcase. The case opens to reveal a neat row of five kunai and shuriken, all clean, new, and matte black in color. ]

I request you leave the shells in this shadow in exchange for these, Sir.

[lostontheroadoflife]

Of course.

[picking them up and doing so, taking the weapons as soon as he's passed them over]

[oi_theoi]

[ The shadow briefcase dissolves and new shadows rise up and engulf the sacrifice, seemingly dragging them down into the shadows. ]

I thank you for your sacrifice, Sir.

[lostontheroadoflife]

And my thanks for the weapons. I've felt off-balanced without them.

[oi_theoi]

There is a pleasant level of comfort to be had with familiar weapons.

[lostontheroadoflife]

Mm. Which is why you'll probably be seeing me frequently.

[oi_theoi]

It will be an honor to serve you, Sir.
