Heeeeeey there my good people! I have an announcement.

I want to get to know you all better, mingle a little, you know? So I'm having a party at my place! Everyone is invited!

There will be all the wine you can drink and music. I couldn't get a cow on short notice, and people were giving me funny looks when I started asking around, so for the feast, we uh, just have to settle for less at the moment.



Oh yeah! Gershom, I have a special gift for you.

[Could be worse. He could be aggressively attempting conversion.]

A cat! But not a real cat, but erm, just a little something I saw around at a market. It's no turning everything you touch into cats, but it's a start.

Huh, you know, that's not half bad. You wouldn't be interested in that, would you?

[accidentallich]

[Gershom actually would be more comfortable with that, he's good at shooting down Jehovah's Witnesses and the like.]

I think that would be a bad idea, since I like to read and I don't want all my books to turn into cats?

[vapelife]

If you say so. Doesn't sound all that bad to me, but I'll take your word for it!

The offer is there in case you change your mind, though.

[accidentallich]

I appreciate it, but I'm fine.

[He's not going to be all 'well King Midas regretted that but surely I won't'.]

[vapelife]

I assume the cat trinket is a fine offering then?

[accidentallich]

Oh, yes. But I thought mortals were supposed to make offerings to gods and not the other way around?

[vapelife]

[Dionysus cups his chin in thought. Gershom seemed familiar with his cult and the worship of the twelve, so it's surprising to be asked.]

It's a mutual benefit, my man. I'm not like my bro Ares with the blood and death and destruction, you know? I like to mingle with the people.

[accidentallich]

[He knows some things, but more about 'myths' than facts of how they were worshipped in day-to-day life.]

I'm not sure I'd want a gift from Ares... N-no offense to him.

[vapelife]

You don't really strike me as... you know, the type my bro would gift boons to. So, probably, no worries about that?

[Was that offensive?]

[accidentallich]

That's good to hear.

[He really doesn't want to be the sort of person Ares is impressed by.]

I'd like to come to your party, if you'll have me.

[vapelife]

Of course you're invited!!!

It's at [his Nihonbashi apartment] when the sun begins to set. Bring friends, if you want!

[accidentallich]

If it's Friday night, I have to light candles first, but after that I'll be there.

[vapelife]

Hmm, light some candles? A worship thing?

[accidentallich]

Ah, yes. It's a holiday, and it wouldn't be right to blow off worship for a party.

[vapelife]

A holiday! Why didn’t you say so sooner? Tell your god I said hello!

[accidentallich]

I will, I promise.

[He's sure it'll be taken in the spirit it was intended.]

[vapelife]

Thanks! Maybe I'll get to meet him some day!

[this man lives in a fantasy world.]

Anyway, my man, the party will probably last all night. Plenty time after your worship.

[accidentallich]

That would be something to see.

[He'll definitely ask God if it's okay for him to be friends with Dionysus, but he's not expecting an answer as such.]

I'll be there.
