second wish ♛ video;
[ Yato looks positively ecstatic when the video turns on, practically vibrating in his seat, and he's holding up a weird little thing, made of twisted bits of fishing net, a broken lure, some seaweed strands, a cracked shell, and some other assorted marine bits. In other words, it looks exactly like something you'd reel in off a snag on your hook (and normally throw away), except someone's tied a bow of old twine on it. ]
I've finally got it! My perfect solution to making more of an impact in Aifaran! This is an Erol'an good luck charm!
[ He caresses it fondly, like its presence is a dream come true! ]
An Erol'an mystic woman sold it to me when I was down on the docks doing a job! She said she sensed a strong, positive aura from me, and this would help me focus it, all I have to do is keep it with me at all times.
It's going to work, I can just feel it!

Yato? Why do you need a good luck charm? Aren’t you supposed to be the one showering good luck to people, since, you know, you’re a god...?
[ That aside, the item looks suspiciously like, well, trash. And having been in the trading business since she was little... she knows a scam when she sees one. ]
Re: video;
No one can have too much good luck, Ilda! Have you ever had someone say "no, I'm lucky enough, thanks but no thanks"?
video;
On to the other topic of concern, then. ]
You’re right. I wouldn’t say no to more luck.
So... did you get a good bargain with that?
Re: video;
[ Or, about two months worth of average rent in Aifaran. Yato no. ]

When she finally manages to get some words out, her voice is low, quiet. Perhaps even a little scary — but he probably won’t notice, since he’s too happy to care. ]
450 rhinn.
Re: video;
She said that she gave me a bargain on it, too! Isn't it great?
This'll be great! With all the new jobs this will help me get, I'll make the rhinn back in no time!

Neutrally, after struggling with what to say for quite a bit: ] You’ll need at least a hundred new jobs to profit from this... thing. How long did she say until the effects kick in?
Re: video;
She didn't say, so it has to be right away.
video;
I hope it’s not making you smell like fish? That’s not going to be very attractive.
[ A beat. ] Plus I like how nice you normally smell.
Re: video;
[ a matching beat ]
Wait, what?
video;
You smell nice. Like a luxurious bubble bath. [ She might be blushing just a little here. ]
Re: video;
[ ... ]
Huh... you sure you're not a Phantom, Ilda? Normally they're the only things commenting on what I smell like, and it's more of an "I'm going to eat you" sort of way.
video;
Ew, no! I wouldn't want to eat you, no way.
... what's a phantom?
Re: video;
video;
And last I checked, I’m radiating with positive energy, and I never needed a charm for it!
[ Just saying, Yato. ]
Re: video;
Solid agree on the "radiating positive energy", though.
video;
As tonelessly as she can manage, and trying not to laugh: ] YATO YOU SMELL NICE DO YOU TASTE NICE TOO
Re: video;
And people say I'm a ham!
video;
After a while, when she's finally calmed down enough, she tries to casually get back to their original topic. ] So, Yato... can I see that good luck charm of yours?
