first wish ♛ video;

[minorgod]

Turtles? I'm not entirely sold on what was described when I got here by the people at the Dreaming Bridge, although there are turtle gods back in Japan. Gen-bu, Oto-hime, Mino-game... so it's not unheard of.

But what I can't figure out is, where are all the shrines around here? You've got tons of different peoples all living in the same place, but no one thought to set up proper shrines??

[ And then he flashes the camera a grin, because he's got just the solution! ]

What you all need is a new god to take care of those prayers of yours that have probably been going unanswered!

So here I am: the Yato God at your service! 24/7 wish-granting, fast, reliable and affordable!

There are, yes. Sometimes they start out small and sort of cute, and too weak to affect much on their own. But other times they'll swarm, and the stronger they get, the larger and harder to kill they are.

[ Yato laughs a little at her question about the Regalia. ]

Funny you'd say that, because Regalia actually can be clothes - they can be anything. One of the psycho chick's Regalia is a set of clothes that leave her basically half naked but still manage to protect her, and she's used a full set of armor Regalia up until around 30 years ago.

To put it simply: a Regalia is a gods' weapon. They pure spirits, sort of the opposite of phantoms, because they were human.

Oh. Wow.

[She brightens.]

That sounds kind of awesome. I mean, I don't know if I'd wanna spend my afterlife as a piece of clothing, but getting to keep fighting to protect people would make it totally worth it.

[It must say something that her ideal afterlife is basically exactly what she's already doing, and that she'd rather dive back into battles for justice than idle in peace.]

Psycho chick, though? What'd she do?

[minorgod]

[ He kinds of waves a hand, as though to say it's unimportant, because he really doesn't want to get into his and Bishamon's feud with strangers. ]

Yeah? You like protecting people, huh?

[lasergrenades]

[Oh, you're not getting away with it that easily, Yato. She's going to remember that detail and file it for later.]

It's my job, [she answers, nodding and smiling.] My best friends and I - we fight the worst of the worst, basically. Tony builds power armor and we use it to do what normal law enforcement can't.

[minorgod]

Wait, wait-- so you're like a superhero??

[ Yato looks both suitably impressed, and incredibly nerdy at the moment. Look, he's from Japan, this is kind of a big thing if it's true. ]

[lasergrenades]

[Pepper grins. She hasn't seen that kind of reaction from someone probably since she left home.]

That is exactly what I am, yeah. I go by Rescue in the armor; I've got it here if you wanna see it sometime, it's fun to just take it out for flights over the city.

[minorgod]

I definitely wanna to see it!

[ Like you'd even have to ask, Pepper! ]
