That's true. [ grace agrees despite not testing out the ghost because sometimes you have fuckin boundaries. she tilts her head ] Can you see them, or are you just guessing that's where they stay?
[this actually cracks sloth up a bit. thank you, weird spirited away bathhouse spirit worker who is actually the room.]
Oh, I'm having a good time already! I have the best time when people just want to come visit me. Not a whole lot of people did back home! Well, not a whole lot do here, but I'm use to it!
[they sound
just as cheerful saying this as they have been the whole time.]
Really? I thought you were pretty popular. [ grace has no frame of reference except no one is ever Mean about sloth, but still ] How come people don't visit you much?
So you're a god like Shi? That's cool. [ genuine? she tilts her head in thought, thinking of what type of god would get a bad rap ] Are you a god of death or something?
[ she wanders over to the nail polish section mid talk? ]
Also, pick a color! I'm super good at doing nails.
Hmmm... I'm not sure I know enough about what kind of gods aren't liked to keep guessing. [ and saying sloth is pestilence when she's about to become christian seems rude, so instead she looks through all the whites ]
White. Kinda bold! I like it. What do you think about glitter?
Oh. Sleep and death. I guess I never thought about it like that, but it makes sense? Weird that people don't like you, though. Sleeping's great.
[ grace is a layabout teen, of course she likes naps. she also hesitates for zero seconds before grabbing the extended hands to look at the nails, squinting in thought ]
Well, it won't take an eternity, but I bet I can do something cool with that. Fade in grey to glittery white, maybe?
[WOW, they are so HAPPY and EXCITED that grace agrees with this, and also says so to them! thank you for validating their existence!
they let grace inspect the nails. strangely, they aren't, like... the most perfect nails in the world, but they are? perfect? it's weird. the skin of their hands has gone deeper grey, like storm clouds.]
[ she grabs the require bottles with one hand but sloth made a mistake because now that she's acquired theirs she will use it to drag them over to a seat? grace has no boundaries handholding to drag people around is just a thing. ]
Relaxing's important, but people get so high strung over things. I bet they take it out on you that they even have to sleep, right? So rude.
[this is very funny considering sloth likewise has absolutely no qualms with grace holding their hands much less grace dragging them around wherever. they float after her without any hesitation, they are so easy to pull.
PLEASE, i BEG you to have some caution. but they do not.]
Oh...... I never thought of that. Do people take it out on me when they have to sleep...? Mostly it's just my boss and my brother getting on me about falling asleep myself!

great! I'll meet you there now? unless you're busy
no subject
[if they don't fall asleep half way there.
it's fine, they do not do that. i wish they would walk literally anywhere, but no, they come floating into the spa after a few minutes. they
wave at nothing over by the tables?] Hello! [but then they also wave to grace.
Wow, you really came!
no subject
[ grace looks at the nothing at the tables for a second ]
Were you... saying hi to the spa ghost?
no subject
[sometimes,
be nice to ghosts.]
no subject
[ she is a wee bit curious ]
no subject
they just shrug a little.]
No, just guessing. Maybe they're really the size of this whole room!
no subject
Maybe they are the room?
no subject
Wh... Oh! Wow! Maybe you're right! They really could be the room! Thank you, room spirit, for the relaxation!
no subject
Thank you, room spirit! [ because it doesn't hurt to be nice? ] But I think we've got it from here? Since it's about you having a good time, Sloth.

grace blinks at them, clearly taken aback ]

no subject
I don't know! [it's because they seem... uh, stupid probably.] There are some, like... Shi Qingxuan!
[sqx is nice to everyone.]
Back home, it's probably because of what kind of god I am! We have a bad rep, but we're really not that bad at all. Just doing our jobs.

[there's another pause, but this one is thoughtful.]
White!
no subject
White. Kinda bold! I like it. What do you think about glitter?
no subject
We're twins! So I'm the closest to death you can be without dying!
[oh, GLITTER.]
Yes!
no subject
[ it's a joke, and she grabs a sparkly nail polish ]
Great taste. Is this too grey?
no subject
[it doesn't sound like they are arguing the joke necessarily, but please tell them to stop being so earnest.]
I love grey. It'd be bad if I didn't, considering I'm getting more grey now! [they float over to peer at the polish.] Wow, it's nice!
no subject
There's a god for everything, huh? [ but since sloth mentioned it: ] I can do a gradient with grey if you want? It'll take a bit longer though.
no subject
[they hold out their hands, palms down. mostly to look at the nails, or maybe to show her.]
I don't mind. I have all the time in the world! An eternity of time!
