They come to Desuka's apartment, next; DZ opens the door when they knock.

"Good afternoon," Mito says, smiling. "May we come in?"

"Yes ma'am." She bows politely and gestures to the living room, where Deskyl and Desuka are sitting together on the couch.

Tobirama and Mito enter, appropriately polite about the intrusion. Mito mentions Raafi received a message from his deity and would like to talk to them about it, though she's also of course curious if they're settling in alright.

"Yeah," Desuka pats Deskyl's knee fondly. "Strange, but good."

She smiles. "It'd be strange for anyone. You're doing very well."

"-your deity, sir? Do you know what they want?"

"He wants to talk about contact between my world and this one, but if you have any questions about getting back to your own world, there will probably be a chance to ask them."

"Deskyl stays."

"All right. Well, you're welcome to come anyway."

The two exchange a look, and Deskyl nods to DZ. "We'll come, sir."

"Good. We're ready as soon as you all are."

They're ready now.

Ertan's next; he's unsurprisingly in the middle of spellwork again but hops right up to join the group as soon as Raafi tells him what's going on. "Thank the Provider."

And onward, to collect Hashirama, Madara, and Izuna.

"What do we need to do to contact your deity?"

"Oh, nothing in particular." The man speaking looks similar to Raafi - not precisely the same ethnicity, but much more similar to him than anyone else present, and his clothes and hair are in the same style, including the same sort of wooden symbol that Raafi wears around his neck pinned to his vest. He's leaning against a patch of wall that happened to be unobserved, and doesn't seem to have any chakra at all.

"Hello, sir." Raafi gives a shallow bow, little more than a deep nod of his head.

Tobirama seems intensely wary at this, eyes narrowed.

Hashirama grins and steps forward a bit - not bowing, seeming more just friendly. "Hello! Welcome to my village!"

He gives Hashirama a warm grin in return. "Thank you! I like what you've done with it, it's always good to see people coming together to build something new."

"Thank you. Everyone's giving their best, which has been great."

"Good to hear. I'm sure we'll have some new things to share with you, too - that's not as straightforward as I'd like, though, unfortunately."

"What's wrong?"
