Nobody asked for it, but I drew up the Moon Rabbit Service's uniform minimal requirements for the main six divisions, with details.

See alt for clearer details because I have shite handwriting, I know.

Sidra, if she can, is sharpening her blade. If she can't, then she's reading up on mythological creatures... and how best to hunt/cook them.

Murabaa usually has conversations with his apprentice or is meditating on moves to make as a leader. (2/2🧵)

In the rare instances of long, dragged out Travel... Tycho will mostly try to have conversations with anyone he's with. Otherwise, will be browsing Moon Rabbit Services App for jobs with non-specific requirements.

I managed to create two things with this quote. One negative translation... and one extremely cute one all wrapped in one small story snippet found in the Alt.
#art

"Ugh, yeah, that phrase; 'Eternity doesn't last forever, it just lasts as long as you live.' It's something Gods keep in the back of their minds to remind them while they can live for thousands of years... the soul inside could change at any given moment the second they die." Drilltooth explained. "Oh, so a reminder of their semi-morality?" Tycho asked, sounding a bit disappointed. "What did you think it meant?" Drilltooth questioned confused on how it could be interpreted any other way, Tycho shrugged, "I had no idea. Just figured it could be something sweet."
"How?"
"Well..." Tycho smirked. Drilltooth's eyes narrowed. "I swear to gods if you say something corny. I will come over there-"
"Eternity doesn't last forever. It just lasts as long as you live, Drilltooth." Tycho answered, with a knowing smirk, barely able to get a leg off the couch before the squirrel god was on top of him. "You need to take off those rose tinted glasses. They'll blind you at the worst moment one day." Drilltooth noted as he leaned in, Tycho smirked as he saw the god blush. "Is today that day?" He asked, Drilltooth didn't answer, instead leaning in and kissing the tanuki on the lips. He embraced the god, then... felt the gods tongue slip between his lips, to his surprise. His eyes went wide at the sensation, Drilltooth was now the one smirking as he pulled away. "I warned you." Drilltooth teased, "You didn't mention anything about tongue!" Tycho chuckled, the space between his eyes flushed slightly red, "What did you expect when you keep running that mouth like that? Someone had to make you shut up for a minute."

TanukiTycho @tanukitycho.bsky.social · 20h

I don't know how. But I plan to create something out of this random quote that appeared in my mind;

"Eternity doesn't last forever, it just lasts as long as you live."

I love it when I accidentally write quotes that linger in my mind long after I write them. It makes me think there really is an ether where ideas linger, and artist just reach into it borrowing their work from it sometimes.

"Because I get the sense if they used my suggestion, I'd be willing to wild a guess that almost over eighty percent would vote for the Enlightening in that case for a multitude of reasons. Boredom, wanting something more, to expand the world beyond what it is, for the pure chaos and destruction, and for new possible solutions to the impossible... if not their own reasons." Tycho explained his rationale, Drilltooth tipped his head. "I thought you didn't want the Enlightening." Drilltooth commented in a just-so tone. "I don't. I'm just trying to see it through multiple perspectives of why someone would." Tycho explained tiredly, Drilltooth nodded quietly. "Do you think it'd ultimately be the right choice?" The squirrel simply asked, "No." Tycho answered immediately, shaking his head. "It's the kind of problem that has no right answer. Just... needs one that someone in power has to give." Tycho shrugged, Drilltooth sighed then smiled meekly. "So... I'm not crazy for thinking that no mortal, god, or demon could give a good answer to that kind of problem." Drilltooth quietly seemed to mumble in a moment of vulnerability. "No, you're not." Tycho shook his head. "Thank you, good night." Drilltooth stood up, seeming prepared to leave. "Where are you going to sleep?" Tycho asked before the god could move. "I wasn't going to sleep. I was gonna go back to Moon Rabbit Café in Ame and just do some overtime to distract myself." Drilltooth admitted, Tychos lips barely parted, and just as the God seemed ready to leave again... he seemed to finally find his voice, saying; "I'm on forced hiatus, I dont have anywhere to be. If you want to..." Tycho started then hesitated. He could feel the gods eyes on him, seeming to know what the tanuki was offering without him finishing his thought.

In a swift motion, the bed squeaked as the god joined the tanuki. "Maybe... some sleep will help me gather my thoughts. Help me relax a little." Drilltooth mumbled, seeming to convince himself.

I feel like most that come to mind are well known enough because it hit the internet... but I feel like "The Gregory Horror Show" may still be a tad bit obscure.

I feel like I remember a Scooby-Doo movie that missed that point.

Where a bunch of the original villains got together for an elaborate scheme and made a lot of unique and amazing tech for the plan, someone pointed it out and how they could've sold it

But the villains just really wanted... Revenge.

the protagonist isn't always the hero. they are just the person the book is about. sometimes authors write books about people who are bad and it does not mean that the author is bad

Okashi does her homework and asks for more details from everyone relevant.

If the Servant is at fault, they're given the opportunity to improve and more training.

If the God is just being snobby/causing problems for fun, the comments are deleted, and the god is given a slap on the wrist(a fine).

To elaborate(because what I wanted to say was barely too long).

It basically allows Gods to comment about the quality of service they got from Servant and rank them, as well as make quick food or other service purchases. It's an adaptation that's beloved by the gods for its convenience.

They're all there(Unfortunately.), but there is a new additional one, however, for Moon Rabbit Services exclusively. It's not just a social media. It's kind of like public review site, food delivery, and social media rolled into one. (1/2🧵)

"If I could have one ounce of magic talent, it'd be to reach through phones and give someone the meanest punch of their life." Calixto let out a primal alligator growl as he spoke, then shook his head. "I heard it wasn't a pleasant childhood, before you." Drilltooth noted as Calixto finished his thought, making the gator perk up. "Really? Know any specifics?" Calixto asked, Drilltooth stared at the gator in disbelief. "You don't know anything?" Drilltooth questioned, Calixto simply shook his head. "Tycho didn't ever want to talk about it. He'd shut down every time. My papí told me it was better not to push it and let him open up on his own time, unless it was seriously effecting his work ethic." Calixto noted as he leaned foward, staring deeply into Drilltooth's beady eyes. "He does that with everyone." Drilltooth noted, Calixto gave one small laugh. "Figured as much. So... let me guess, as a God of Rumors you did your job?" Calixto gently asked the Squirrel god. Drilltooth crossed his arms, giving a bit of a guilty look to the question. Calixto lifted a hand and waved it, "Whether Tycho opens up to me about what his life was before is all on Him to decide when he wants to tell me. If at all. But I think I know enough from the way he acted when he was growing up in my care." Calixto noted, as he looked at the Television again, before Drilltooth could ask, Calixto just began to ramble again;

"He'd be as quiet as a mouse, slink away from my sight when we didn't have anything to talk about, didn't even ask for anything unless it was absolutely necessary. He wouldn't even eat more than one plate of whatever we served... even if his eyes craved more of it. Would use his magic to create weights and other training equipment. Mostly even stayed in his room for the first two months most of the time." Calixto noted as he glowered at Drilltooth unintentionally.

Tycho, is the opposite; he doesn't like to be in the spotlight and doesn't want to be in it. He'd rather fade into the background, than be known for noteworthy achievements with good reason;

Being notable could make you a... let's say skill-check point. If that makes any sense.

Sidra & Murabaa proudly display and gloat about their victories, both are demigods so its kind of in their blood to strive to be noteworthy.

Sidra especially as a War God's kid. (1/2🧵)

Drilltooth questioned, "Slow down!" Tycho called Drilltooth slowed his pace to a crawl and felt Tycho's weight drop off as he began to take a running start behind the squirrel. "GO!" Tycho called. Drilltooth guided the branch, rushing ahead of Tycho he followed far behind running as quickly as he could... nothing compared to the squirrel, obviously, but that was the plan. When he emerged from the Pocket Dimension, Drilltooth had looped the branch to make a passing swipe at Stolas. Only for the chair's base to create a branch to not only defend Stolas but catch Drilltooth and prepare to sling the squirrel aside. Tycho rushed on the branch, jumping off it, creating a new iron sword with his leaves behind Stolas, prepared to take a swing at the Owl king! "Nice try, but there's nothing I can't predict, Tycho." Stolas noted as the chair's vines unfurled and whipped out at Tycho, who quickly changed form! He didn't think about what he'd turn into. He just did this time, turning into an elastic rubber ball! Stolas lifted his leg, dodging Tycho, then giving him a swift kick, however, in a split second. He saw Stolas' eyes go from dashes to wide orbs... he'd made a mistake. Tycho wasn't sure what mistake Stolas made, but had to capitalize on it. As he was flung through the air, Drilltooth suddenly appeared! Tycho, still a rubber ball, bounced off Drilltooth's forehead, knocking the squirrel's head back, and throwing off his balance, making him flip to the other side of the branch of Yggdrasil, barely catching himself. Then he saw it... he was flying just above Stolas, Tycho quickly changed shape again, turning into an extra chunky tanuki statue. Stolas quickly caught Tycho with both his hand, the Owl king's knees buckling a bit. When Tycho caught a glimpse of Drilltooth, who flung off the branch of Yggdrasil upside-down, he was low, but his claws barely extended just enough to reach the platform... barely scratching the space before Stolas' loafers. "DAMN IT!"

Biao Xian is the DM making everything a bit too real. Sidra is definitely causing issues as a murder hobo if she suspects something is off. Party mum and snacks is Tycho.

The gods, thankfully, mostly handle themselves with agreed upon Laws.
The Demon Market, however, can be more chaotic depending on which division of Hell you're in.

Each market has their own set of rules and law.

TanukiTycho @tanukitycho.bsky.social · 3d

The only problem with being a servant and/or friend of a god is that they have no perception of time and will ask for favors at any given moment.
(I like to imagine this as the Tycho's introduction in book 2, possibly. )

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

As Tycho just lifted his arm from the counter, mug in hand, a sudden weight formed on his arm. One he was all too familiar with. "Hey, I need a favor." A quick speaking, energetic voice spoke in Tycho's ear. "Good morning to you too, Drilltooth." He greeted the God, turning his head to him. Seeing he was a bit low, Tycho held his arm up a bit higher for Drilltooth.

Drilltooth was one of the few... scaled down gods. In mythology, he merely was just a teal squirrel who exchanged messages between Odin and an ancient being known as Nidhogg. Few people remember his name, even fewer respect him as the God he is. To Tycho, a God is a God, no matter the shape, size, or legend... even when they prevent you from getting delicious morning coffee.

"Huh?" Drilltooth looked to a hanging clock in the servant temp room, his eyes narrowed, then he seemed to finally notice the tiny robotic text that said AM. "Oh, it is the morning, well." Drilltooth put one leg over the other. "Good morning! So about that favor, I need a plus one for a sort of fetch quest. It's nothing too big, I just need help fetching some ingredients Okashi wants to experiment with." Drilltooth began to explain, "Mmhm?" Tycho hummed as he set the creamer down and focused his energy on holding up the God. "It's nothing too wild. It's just a bit of dragon meat, specifically liver and a few steaks." Drilltooth elaborated, Tycho let out an "Ah, I see." He nodded, meeting the gods eye with hazy vision. "So you want to go to the Demon Market. But you want a bodyguard since Yggdrasil isn't allowed to pierce specific parts of Hell." Tycho translated the gods words, Drilltooth chuckled. "So..." The squirrel grinned hopefully at the tanuki. "Let me freshen up, get a cup or two in my system, and we'll head out." Tycho nodded, "You're the best!" Drilltooth hopped down from the tanuki's arm.

Murabaa is the same, except way more meticulous and cleans stuff personally every other week if he has time.

Sidra... if she's at her home. At best She has clothes chair... otherwise, she's one of those people. Y'know. Those kinds who have stuff everywhere but could find a hairpin in it.
