[CLOSED] A heavenly assignment
⌛ Who: Azem (starshepard), Emet-Selch (emet_sulk), and Rhea'li (lightduties)
⌛ What: Three refugees receive a heavenly assignment in which they fix fractured souls
⌛ When: Early December
⌛ Where: The Western Paradise
⌛ Warnings: FFXIV Shadowbringers/Endwalker spoilers all the way down, probably
Rhea'li is no stranger to odd requests, so he thinks nothing of it when he wakes after a strange dream and a golden train ticket in his hands. It wouldn't be the first time a god-like being has called to him in his sleep...
Which is how he ends up in the Western Paradise with a number of other refugees summoned to help return souls fractured and ripped from their bodies by the timeloops back to their rightful place. When he hears that, Rhea'li winces, thinking of his own soul, the sundered nature of it and the re-fracture of it in recent days.
It can be a little tricky for others to spot Rhea'li in the gaggle of refugees who had been summoned to help with the situation in the Western Paradise (being as short as he is), but he can certainly spot the two ancients amongst the crowd as Inari Okami teaches them how to properly wield Kizuna to complete their task. Without hesitation, Rhea'li bonds with another refugee -- a stranger as suggested -- before gently breaking it, the magic coming easily to him. Mayhaps the ease has something to do with its similarities to the echo, even though he has little control over the latter?
The lesson complete, the refugees are allowed to disperse to complete the task of aiding the lost and fractured souls, though not without a warning; particularly malevolent lost souls can influence or corrupt those who attempt to help them, possibly even possess them. So it would best to not travel alone, so that another can assist in removing the malevolence.
It's with that in mind that Rhea'li keeps an eye out for Emet-Selch and Azem as the other refugees begin to disperse, waving as he approaches.

With the corner of his mouth turning up in a wry smile, Rhea'li says, "Mayhap it would be best I leave you two to it then..."

"I-- I really don't think..."
It sounds like some manner of drug - a hallucinogen in all likelihood. Hades knows the effect those have on him. He's fairly certain he's tried everything on the star to try and cope with his loss.
His gaze lingers on Rhea'li, almost pleading for the Warrior to not to leave this choice to him.

The corner of his mouth curling, Rhea'li comments, "We still have plenty of work come morning. Given how thoroughly occupied we were last time we were together, I dare say rest would not be on the cards for anyone."
Wink wonk.
"You are aware of uki's effects, yes?"

And that just makes them want to try it all the more.

"It has aphrodisial properties," Rhea'li says quite plainly, though the corner of his mouth curls up. "So I will leave you two to it..."
He takes a step back, starting to back away.

"You--!"
How could you set him up like this!!

"Ah! That's what I thought. It certainly sounds like an experience to be had."
They reach for Hades with a grin, "Won't you join me?" They'll let Rhea'li go even if they would enjoy having the company of both.

"Fine, I suppose I have no choice now," he grumbles. But he squeezes Azem's hand.

Their attention turns to Hades, offering a large smile as they squeeze his hand in return. "Let us see about getting some food before we partake in the rest of the festivities."
It has been a long day and Azem could certainly go for a little meal before they lose the rest of their night to whatever awaits them.
