It should pop out immediately -

[ SO WHAT'D WE GET, MINAMINA ]

[compendiem]

[ MinaMina opens the mailbox lid and—- immediately slams it shut again at the very first sign of light bursting out of it as if that thin little metal cover can hold back what could be a bomb going off inside the box

if it weren't for nothing happening for the next second and a half, and Minato lets the lid fall back open again, squinting against the light, and sacrificing his left arm to reach inside and pull out exactly what the ticket said: a bow.

He holds it in his hands, unsure of if he's even holding it properly, let alone knowing how to shoot with it. ]

I think I'll also have to invest in shades.

[parodeity]

[ ...welp. dave's suddenly glad he already invested in those! ]

What the fuck. Are you the sun god or somethin'?

[compendiem]

[ What if he just... puts the bow back into the mailbox and closes the lid before he sears his retinas. ]

If I were a sun god, I'd make it so there's never and sun.

[parodeity]

Now I kind of want to petition for you to be the sun god, though.

*any sun... pretend all my typos don't exist

[compendiem]

People would only see the light of day on special occasions. Think you can gather enough signatures?

[ He's well aware of the lack of people he knows and gets along with, but Dave is different, somebody who is established and willing to back him for whatever godforsaken reason. If only he could be a god that easily, not the mortal he is who shivers as he pulls the scarf off from around his neck so he can reopen the mailbox again and wrap it around the bow so that light only peeks out through the tips where the bow strings are attached. ]

what typoes

[parodeity]

Probably? I know a lot of people who could see the benefits of sleep for always.

[ or he could ramble at people until they signed just to make him go away EITHER OR ]

[compendiem]

[ he's sure Dave can make it happen ]

I'll leave it to you to get me to god tier, then.

[parodeity]

Yeah, that actually involves dying on a quest bed, so?

[compendiem]

I don't know about the "quest" part, but dying on a bed doesn't sound too terrible.

[parodeity]

The quest bed is like. A stone slab with a symbol on it.

[compendiem]

That... sounds uncomfortable, but doable. Do I get to draw my own symbol?

[parodeity]

Probably yes, since you don't have a sburb-assigned aspect?

[compendiem]

[ Great. He knows where he can find a block of stone, he's got paint at his apartment, and he lies there and waits for death every night, so everything is set. ]

I have no idea what Suburb is. [ Sburb? Suburb... ] If you want to explain it.

[parodeity]

It's like...a video game we played that became real life. Or always was real life?

[compendiem]

Like Retrospec...? I think I asked that when I first got the app. People told me this isn't a game.

[parodeity]

Nah. Like...a virtual reality game that isn't virtual. I'm bad at explaining, but it doesn't exist here anyway, so.

[compendiem]

[ Virtual reality game that isn't virtual... so... reality game. ]

So you can't create gods, huh? Sort of disappointing...

[parodeity]

Nope. But anyway...whatcha gonna do with the bow and arrow thingy?

[compendiem]

I'll probably use it as a walking stick at night so I don't get run over by cars.

[parodeity]

That sure is on use of it. You may wanna try to get archery lessons at the fight club, too?

[compendiem]

[ fight club... ]

I don't really plan to fight people.

[parodeity]

It's more just in case. Like...picking up the skill may come in handy later, if monsters are a thing again?

[compendiem]

Is there no band of vigilante heroes who fight monsters?

[parodeity]

Possibly, but they might not show up just when you need them most.
