Subject: Attn: Granting Requests

All,

As most of you are probably not aware, today is the birthday of Mammon, the Great and Amazing Avatar of Greed. He's feeling particularly shy today, and so he's asked me to make an announcement on his behalf.

If you need a favor done for you, let me know and I'll document it and send it to the Birthday Boy. He's willing to complete any task for you, no matter how great or small. Manual, back-breaking labor is perfectly okay for him, so please don't hold back. He'll pull the weeds in your garden; test dangerous, harmful substances for you; and will even commit to telling a joke that makes you laugh.

Truly, we should all be grateful to the Avatar of Greed who has chosen to be so delightfully generous on this day which marks the day of his creation.

I'm serious. Don't hold back. There's no job too demanding, too difficult, or too disgusting for him. He'll be sure to give it his all.

When you have a title like 'Avatar of Greed,' it really sets a certain impression on others. Sometimes, he likes to remind others he's more than that.

[ This might actually be true, but Satan doesn't actually know if it is. He's just saying it as an excuse. ]

Oh! A Greenhouse? That's lovely.

[ He very nearly writes that he would like to help her with that himself, but he realizes he can't because Zelda would probably call him out for either a: lying; b: pulling a prank on Mammon; or c: all of the above.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. He's locked himself out of this!! so, his next response is written with very bold, thick lines. ]

Back in the Devildom, Mammon performed a variety of part-time jobs in an effort to keep his finances in the green. I don't know if proficient is the word to describe his skill, but I'm sure he could do it if you were to give him a blueprint.

[ Zelda's brows furrow as she reads. Nope, this is DEFINITELY SUSPICIOUS.

...Although she does remember a time when Mammon told her that he dressed up as a bunny for a job. To this day, she still doesn't understand what was up with that. The Devildom truly is a strange place. ]

Surely he isn't having that issue in a barter-based society. [ No, that's not what this is about. ]

That's wonderful! I have recently purchased a set of basic drawings that should be sufficient for a small, lean-to greenhouse to build onto the south-facing side of my home.

[ Are you really going to keep leading her on like this, Satan? ]

[angelbirth]

[ It's a good thing Satan doesn't know that Mammon shared that with Zelda. Because Satan was... also... in a bunny outfit. THE ENTIRE THING WAS MAMMON'S FAULT!! ]

That sounds so quaint! I imagine that after being here for a year, your collection of plants has only grown.

[ Yes. Yes he is. He's in too deep and he can't backpedal now. ]

You may need to actually put some signage out if you want my brother to build it in the correct spot. I'm not so sure Mammon actually knows which direction is south.

[ This is probably untrue -- Satan's just unnecessarily taking a dig at Mammon because he's mad this whole thing backfired on him. He wants to help build it!! He built the wooden tiered display for the plants that he gave Zelda for Christmas!! Of course, the simplest solution would be to simply ASK but if he does that, Zelda could say no... and call him out for bullying Mammon... on his birthday. ]

Will the greenhouse be for new plants? Or will you be transitioning a few of the ones you already own to the greenhouse?

[multidisciplinary]

[ Good luck, Satan. You're gonna need it if Zelda figures out what you're doing. (Not that she doesn't have her suspicions, but she trusts Satan.

Okay, but she's pretty sure you're exaggerating about Mammon not knowing how to find south. ]

Well, I won't leave him to construct the whole project on his own. I'll be there to assist as I can.

[ Oh Satan, this is a mess of your own making. Surely one of these days, you'll learn to just ask for what you want. ]

A mix of both, actually. A few of the starters you gave me for Goddess Da Christmas are too big to move back inside my treehouse when the weather turns, but they aren't big enough for the community garden. I also want to make a space for crossbreeding.
