video and text

[divinebrush]

[Hello, citizens, you're now watching a recording of a curtain of silver hair and the sounds of someone poking and tapping at the communicator. There is an huff of breath, and then the camera is flipped over, revealing a woman with silver dog ears and red markings over her skin. She tilts her head curiously before smiling for the camera-- benevolently, radiantly, and somehow tinged with sadness. Then typing starts, slow and careful.]

HOW MANY PEOPLE STILL BELIEVE IN THE GODS? WHAT SORT OF GOD DO YOU BELIEVE IN, IF YOU DO?

[She pauses, ears pricking forward before closing her eyes.]

SOMETIMES EVEN THE GODS DOUBT THEMSELVES.

[She then tilts her head, smiling faintly.]

WHICH GODS DO YOU KNOW?

[handshakegreeting]

I do not question that; fickleness of the soul began with us, after all.

[She pauses in text for a moment.]

My children, of course... as well as others far too numerous to count.

[But does that include her? Why, who knows...]

[divinebrush]

YOU HAVE CHILDREN AS WELL? [Ammy seems all too pleased to continue on with this subject, not even caring if her new friend was a god or not. She'll probably find out sooner or later anyways.] I HAVE ONLY ONE. HE IS WALKING THE PATH OF HIS JOURNEY AS WE SPEAK. I WISH I COULD BE BACK IN NIPPON TO WATCH OVER HIM...

[handshakegreeting]

Yes. I am the mother of my country and its people in the world I am from, after all. Unfortunately, the time for me to watch over my own children has long passed...

Ah, where are my manners?

[She seems to be similarly pleased to continue as well. Once she adds the video function to her side, at least. Ammy, you are too precious for words.]

I am Izanami.

[divinebrush]

[She blinks in surprise, clutching the communicator and peering more closely at Izanami's image, almost to the point where her nose is touching the screen.]

IZANAMI. I HAVE NOT SEEN YOU IN A LONG WHILE. THOUGH I IMAGINE THE IZANAMI I KNOW IS NOT THE SAME AS YOU, IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL THE SAME. YOU ARE STILL AS LOVELY AS EVER.

[handshakegreeting]

[Oh, silly wolf-goddess of the sun. What ever is she to do with you? She laughs quietly behind a hand politely.]

Indeed; It may very well be as you say. [She smiles faintly. After all, what woman would not like to be regarded as lovely, despite true appearances?] Why, thank you. I was about to say the same of you, Amaterasu.
