With that many options it must be hard to get bored. And the current work is? [ they have been dying to ask about her wings. ]

[cupidsammo]

[ good news! ]

These days I’m filling the role of a cupid!

[holyspirits]

A cupid. [ the way they say this is full of surprised amusement, like they hadn't considered that was actually it. ] As in love-casting cupid?

[cupidsammo]

[ Koharu can't help but give a small chuckle; it surprises everyone, really. ]

The very same kind.

[holyspirits]

And how did you end up with a job like that? That seems very specific.

[ also cupids are just make-believe where they are from, so this is new. ]

[cupidsammo]

Erm. Well.

[ UNEXPECTED QUESTION ]

Not through the most ideal means....

[holyspirits]

[ they glance at her slowly. probably. she cannot see their eyes. ]

Complicated, unpleasant, or both?

[cupidsammo]

More... unpleasant really.

[ ... ]

The truth is, I've already died before, but the Goddess gave me a second chance... as a cupid.

[holyspirits]

[ all three of the mods really did laugh at you bringing her here given the premise.

zuriel does not laugh, but they do see the connection. ]

I'm sorry to hear that. [ genuinely. ] Does this feel a little familiar then? Earning a second chance like this. Though I guess this would be your third.

[cupidsammo]

[ yea i bet you did BUT I WAS LOCKED IN ]

Y- yeah. It's getting a little awkward whenever someone asks how I'm feeling about the whole dying thing...

[holyspirits]

Because it sounds terribly crass to say you've already gotten past that when everyone else is struggling? I think I can see it. [ yikes. ] How long have you been a cupid?

[cupidsammo]

[ a little nod ]

It... hasn't been long at all, actually. It's barely been a month.

[ (waves hands oocly) ]

[holyspirits]

[ at least she hasn't been dead that long? well, no, looks can be deceiving. after all—

... what were they thinking about, again? ]

So they're like training wings. [ a little tease. ] Is it something you ever had an interest in before? Matchmaking, that is.

[cupidsammo]

[ 'Training wings' is one way of putting it. ]

I did it a lot at school, actually. Everyone was always looking for their special someone...

[holyspirits]

And what about you? Did you find one for yourself after a while?

[cupidsammo]

[









well ]

I, ah. I haven't been in a relationship before, no.

[holyspirits]

Oh. Well, you're only fifteen. I don't think it's terrible that you haven't. Unless you wanted one... ?

[cupidsammo]

It's a little complicated... B- but it would be nice?

[holyspirits]

[ hm... ]

I get it. I think love can be complicated until you find the right person. Sometimes even more complicated because you find the right person.

[cupidsammo]

[ a slow nod ]

It can be a lot. I do want to fall in love one day, but that will have to wait for later, anyway.

[holyspirits]

After you fulfill all of your cupidly tasks? Can a cupid make another cupid fall in love?

[ this is just them being nosy again. ]

[cupidsammo]

[ shakes her head ]

No, we can't. Our ammo doesn't work on each other like that.

[holyspirits]

At least you have workplace safety in mind. [ mildly. and a joke. ] Your... ammo?

[cupidsammo]

Yeah. Because... cupids shoot their targets.

[ Much as she says it in a 'well, yeah' way, she's at least aware of how it sounds. ]

[holyspirits]

I've never thought of arrows as ammo, but I suppose that makes sense. [ yeah. ]
