text; when the moon's reaching stars

[Kotone is not a girl used to asking for help. If it's something she can't do on her own, she usually doesn't. But with recent events in town and outside of town, not to mention the passings of the one-year anniversaries of some difficult days from back home, it's been hard to muster her usual good cheer and can-do attitude.]

Hi, everyone! It's Kotone. You might know me from working at Lupin recently. :D

I know we're all really busy, but I wanted to ask if anybody had time to help me rebuild the club building. It's the one that looked like a flat-roofed warehouse on the edge of town? It got destroyed cause of the corruption.

Oh, I'm also still looking for people to help out on Astralin-san's farm, too! Especially with the crops and animals.

[A pause, and then she adds,]

I'd really like to start the cooking and sewing clubs again. :) And if other people had things they wanted to do like club activities, it would be good to have a space for it! I think it's really important to have some normal things to do with all the crazy stuff going on.

[There's not much she feels she can do with everything happening between Ketsora and Rumpitur, but she can try to do something to help the Chosen feel more closely tied together.]

I'm assuming you mean general "you" unless modern times includes legends of humans dating gods.

[orphne]

:\a I know there's a lot of old stories like that... do you really think gods stopped dating humans, or did they just get like way more subtle about it?

[cursegod]

Again, I think it's more marriage than dating... Or at least copulating followed by the creation of divine bloodlines.

[orphne]

Sounds complicated... I've never really thought about it that much! I think as long as you're having fun with a person, that's enough. :)

[cursegod]

That's a very light-hearted perspective.

[orphne]

I've been told that before! :) Me and Scott actually had some problems cause of that a while ago, but we talked it out and it's fine now!

[cursegod]

That's surprising. You seem like the easy-going type. What kind of problems?

[orphne]

I am really easy-going! He's not, though. Not about that kind of stuff. I thought we were just dating casually, like, for fun? But he thought we were more serious, so it caused a big misunderstanding for a little while.

[cursegod]

So he wanted to marry you.

?

[orphne]

No!

[STOP TRYING TO MAKE MARRIAGE HAPPEN, DARA!!]

He thought we were like, exclusive. And I didn't, so I was also dating other guys cause they asked and it was fun. It really hurt Scott's feelings. :( I still feel kinda bad about it.

[cursegod]

[YOU MEAN THERE'S DIFFERENT LVLS OF DATING? Too complicated.]

I feel like the definition of dating just got murkier for me.

Sounds like you're better at communicating what you two want though. Good for you.

[orphne]

It was a learning process!!

Anyway, I still think the most important thing is making sure both you and the other person are happy instead of trying to define it or whatever. That's all!

[cursegod]

So it's basically just keeping your lover happy?

I guess that isn't so hard to understand.

[orphne]

Pretty much!!

Is there somebody here that you like? :O I won't tell anybody!

[cursegod]

Like as in who would I want to date? I don't know if I have the capacity to like someone now. I've been a god for awhile, and there are probably parts of my human self I've lost along the way.

My human name was one of those things, so it wouldn't be surprising if I lost more and don't remember.
