[Here's another newbie! Jessica turns on the recording, has that awkward moment of waiting for it to start.]

now? ok! Hello everyone! I'm Jessica. I'm new here and I've got a few questions.

[She holds up one finger.] Is killing kaiju the only way to make money around here?
[A second finger.] What sort of style clothes do you wear to a wedding in this town?
[A third finger.] Does anyone have experience setting up a shrine?

Thanks in advance! If I can help any of you out with healing or monster clean-up, count on me!

[She flashes the camera a smile, then has another moment of blinking and fumbling to disconnect the recording.]

[Hmmmm.]

That does sound nice, but I don't see how those things connect to healing powers?

[mace_pray_love]

[Jessica is so not prepared to answer theological questions. She skipped, like, so much class.]

Well, uh, she created life, so she can restore it too? Well, not bringing people back from the dead, but fixing injuries and healing diseases and stuff.

[She doesn't know how it works, exactly, she just knows it works. Shhh.]

[vivisexual]

[Yugamu like "that doesn't sound right but I don't know enough about religion to dispute it."]

That's good. Ereshkigal would probably be upset with you if you started reviving the dead.

[mace_pray_love]

[Jess is getting the feeling that a lot of things would probably upset Ereshkigal. All the more reason to cheer her up with a shrine!]

I'm not going to go around disturbing the balance of things. If someone's not dead yet, I'm allowed to heal 'em, and if they are dead, either Ereshkigal or Tezcatlipoca will take care of them.

[We have our delicate flower death god and our bastard man death god!!]

As long as we're all in agreement! Obviously I'm not opposed to giving aid to the injured.

[mace_pray_love]

[He's also apparently not opposed to killing people, but Jessica isn't going to bring that up. Hopefully that's in Yugamu's past, not his future too.]

Yep, we're on Team Helping People.

[RIGHT?]

[vivisexual]

[Correct!!! No more contract killing!! Only the much more complicated can of worms of him thinking killing or being killed by a lover is the ultimate romantic act.]

That's right! Fighting the kaiju is helping people too, after all.

[mace_pray_love]

Oh, yeah, killing monsters is fine. That's what LILITH brought us here for, right?

[...

...well, maybe someone will match Yugamu's freak and be into that kinda thing. but if he finds a partner before jessica does, she's going to just give up on romance entirely.]

[vivisexual]

Seems so. I'm just glad to see we've got far more people to accomplish that than I had previously.

[mace_pray_love]

Yeah, with a party this big, we can probably take out whatever the rift throws at us.

[vivisexual]

We just have to make sure no one else gets corrupted by it, as has apparently happened before.

[mace_pray_love]

But now that people know to look out for it, I'm sure it'll be fine!

[Flashing forward to the future]
