Subject: Mirrors For Trade

Anybody want some mirrors? After the crap with them during Halloween and the Ice Queen's place, I don't want them in the house anymore. I'll swap ya for building materials or help building my shrine.

[At least she's got the general idea down, even if it doesn't come with all the cool flashy bits that his actual teleportation entails. Though it does make him wonder where she's from if she's never heard of the ability to teleport.]

Right? And I can take things with me, so no worries there!

[ Yato must be beloved by mail carriers the world over. ]

What about people? Can you deliver people? And can you pick them up from anywhere?

[ Are you also the god of Uber, by chance? ]

[intertwinedfates]

[Or despised for being even more efficient!]

You know, I'm not sure how that'd work here. Usually I could only take people's spirits with me, but maybe I should see if I can bring them wholesale since this is a dream world. But yeah, pretty much anywhere, provided I know the location.

[He'd be making so much more money if he was...]

[ranchgirl]

[ Don't make promises you can't keep, Yato. You're getting her hopes up. ]

Then, if I pray to you enough, do you think you could bring my dad here? I can tell you exactly where to find him. But if you're a god then you already know about where everything everywhere is, right?

[intertwinedfates]

[Aw... Now he feels a bit bad about it, especially since he'll have to let her down gently.]

Normally I'd say yes, but seeing as how we're from different worlds in an entirely new one, I'm afraid my reach is much more limited. And where I'm from, despite what you might think, gods aren't entirely all-knowing. We're limited in our abilities much the same way as humans are. Like we only know what we've seen and what's in front of us.

[ She deflates as she reads his words. It's okay; she had a feeling it was a long shot. ]

If you have the same limitations as humans, then how come you're considered a god? I thought that immortal/magic/all-knowingness was what made gods gods.

[ Not trying to sound atheist here or anything... ]

[intertwinedfates]

[It's always depressing when he has to disappoint someone who was hoping they could rely on him, but it's better to be upfront and honest about what he can and can't do.]

For one, I can't be killed by mortal means. For another, I do have some skills that humans don't have. I'm not the same physically, too.

[He doesn't blame her for being skeptical, or at least confused. At first blush he does seem like a fairly average person. Aside from the weird tracksuit and scarf he wears.]

[ranchgirl]

"Not the same physically?" What, do you have extra arms or legs or something?

[intertwinedfates]

No no no no! I'm not an alien! More like I can't be killed by the same means.
