[ ereshkigal isn't hard to find, and even though it's way too hot to slump against her friend with a sigh, even in the evening, it's exactly what malkuth's doing to the other. ]
I need a break, Eresh... From driving around three guys. [ nevermind two of them are bots it's fine. ] How's your travel been?
[ please say better than hers. she's ever two seconds from dropkicking sampo out of the campervan and the only thing that's staying her foot is the fact netzach likes him. ]

[ The fact that Ereshkigal doesn't really react when Malkuth slumps against her should ring an alarm bell! The goddess not panicking? That's so weird from her! Why, there is a very good reason for that, and the one single word she says very tiredly should explain it all: ]
Hot...
[ Eresh has been mostly keeping to herself during the trip because of one very simple factor: the heat. It's nigh unbearable! How do humans handle it? She's a cold goddess who comes from a cold realm. And yet her vessel's temperature is slowly getting closer to that of a normal human's.
She's starting to understand why some people barely wear any clothes. She'd always thought it was in poor taste - but there is a practical aspect to it. A shame it's so undignified, she won't even consider this as an option. ]
I could use my powers to cool my surroundings off but I need to save as much mana as possible for battle. [She's melting here. At this rate she'll be at normal human temperature within a decade or two!] Who have you been driving with?

You've indicated that you are incapable of realizing your full potential on the battlefield due to a shortage of mana. If you are amenable, I'd like to attempt to resolve this for you.

NEVER!

Shame on you doctor! I didn't think you were that kind of person! To pray on a fair and innocent maiden when she is at her lowest, have you no shame? Villain! Or was this your plan all along? How vile! To think I trusted you!! (＃｀д´)ﾉ

Lady of the Sims 30,
Considering the death of your virtual reality creations, I thought it only right to host a proper funeral for them. I jest, I hardly believe a belated burial now would assist them in their fake afterlives.
More importantly, however, I was reaching out to the lady to make proper amends. With some difficulty, I was able to find which room was yours. The invitation is open to you, if just because I figured you should also have an opportunity to lift your spirits.

Ereshkigal, I would like to speak with you regarding Aventurine's bouquet.
Ah, yes. I have already prepared a selection of genus and colors that would be, I think, appropriate. You'll only have to make your choice when you pass by!
[ After their last encounter, Silco has mostly been avoiding Ereshkigal (not that he goes out of his way to encounter her) but on this day of all days, he watches her idk not make a door before it closes or something, this is for comedic effect, it's not important.
So of course he pipes up from a seat somewhere to say: ]
Oh? I guess you're not as fast as I would have thought a god could be.
[ His clothes change immediately to something stupid (there's generic pants its whatever) at the moment he opens his mouth to say something nasty.
Clearly even LILITH thinks he should be nicer. ]

[ And of course, just as she misses a door, there has to be an insufferable person to laugh at her. She can't believe it, but...
She wishes it was Tezcatlipoca.
No matter. Their last encounter proved to her he doesn't have access to whatever power he used to kill Quetzalcoatl. That doesn't mean she will lower her guard - he could be bluffing to lull her in a false of security - but she's not going to let him mock her any longer. He will avoid her and remain silent when he can't avoid her!! She has enough to deal with as is.

I ordered them but they have yet to arrive.
It's a bit long, I wonder if something delayed the shipment... (・_・;)
As for your question, I don't think I can answer it, not yet.
I am still in the process of trying the different kinds of food available on the surface (´｡• ᵕ •｡`)
There are so many and I don't have a lot of time to experiment with variety.
Do you have a favorite? Perhaps I can order it to see what it's like \(^ヮ^)/

well whatever's up must be a big deal if it nabbed you. hope you're not dead. or whatever happens to us here.
but assuming this makes it to you. the outsiders here are fine so don't worry about them. look after the ones on your side. you weren't as anonymous as you think so I meant it when I said you were dutiful and caring. meant to look out for people. you can help them make it to tomorrow, assuming things are as dire as the messages we got kinda imply.
good luck
p.s. I know you're going to be pissed at me when you get back so I'll even give you one free punch. look forward to it.

Lady Ereshkigal,
I simply wished to reach out and inquire how you are doing today.
It was only upon later reflection that I realized that I had perhaps overstepped, not as one Outsider to another, but in respect to you as the sovereign of Kur itself. I do hope that my stepping in did not come off as presumptuous or condescending, and if it did, you have my sincerest apologies. I do not regret stepping in for Mr. Silco’s sake, but I would regret causing you offense.
(Though, if you will allow me a bit of honesty… It would not surprise me in the slightest that your ire was well warranted! I confess, he has been nothing but vitriolic towards me, so I must assume that his personality is simply abrasive to extremes…)
Regardless, I thank you for your time in reading this, and I do hope you have a more pleasant day today.
Yours,
Sebastian Michaelis

Dear Sebastian,
I appreciate your message. Please be reassured you did the right thing.
It has been brought to my attention the "pockies" I was eating amplify negative emotions (・_・;)
After what happened to me last month, it is evident I am still susceptible to such external influences.
So I thank you for having stopped me ＼(＾▽＾)／
It would have been most undignified for me to kill this man, no matter how despicable and detestable he may be.
However, I am sorry to hear he has already proven to be a nuisance with you (`ー´)
I would strongly recommend you cut off all contact with him before he decides relentlessly harassing you suits his definition of fun. While I have no doubt you could dispose of him with ease, LILITH would disapprove and most likely punish you.
I thank you kindly for this message once again. It heartened me to read it.
