The Department of the Enma

Memorandum

To: All Lost Souls representative of the Department of the Enma
From: The Desk of the Enma
Subject: "Tanabata"


It has come to our understanding that an invitation to attend the grand opening of Sai no Kawara, a joint venture of the Shuten and Tamamo clans.

Our investigation into illicit "Stardust" trade has made it imperative that we accept this invitation, and attend as keepers of Order and to assure that all dealings are "above level".

[ Did he just make an underground pun? ]

Representatives of the Department of the Enma will be allowed participation in Tanabata festivities including, but not limited to; wish-making, consumption of alcoholic beverages, moderated gambling, sessions with hosts and other service workers, and dancing.

Considering the situation we found ourselves earlier in the summer, it has been advised that relaxation and diversion may be necessary to assure a functional work force. Therefore it should be considered part of your work to attend this "grand opening", both as a keeper of Order and as a matter of personal activity.

That is all.

Comments

[eyediot]

One can, but I'm not sure it would be advisable.

[itstillhurt]

Well, I hope you feel more comfortable in your role with the Department soon. This lack of confidence in your allies can't be good for your morale.

[He stares at that message for a long moment. Confidence is different from trust, and right now he scarcely has either for this group. They don't know him and they don't know what he's done. And really, his morale has been deep down in the depths of literal hell for at least two years now already.

It doesn't matter.]

I'll worry about my own morale, if that's all right. And I don't expect to be in this specific department for much longer.

[itstillhurt]

[Well, isn't that fascinating.]

Fair enough. Just expressing friendly concern.

[eyediot]

Fair enough. As much as my expressing doubt that officers of the law should be drinking on duty was friendly concern as well.
