There came a knocking upon Ryder's apartment door. Philosophy fidgeted with the robes denoting his order in Alethia's sect a bit; he felt silly wearing it but it had to be done.

Ryder comes to the door in a t-shirt and a pair of jeans. Yawning he opens the door and rubs his eyes. He didn't have class at the moment so he was catching up on sleep before Philosophy came by. "Hey.."

The other man smirked, slightly, and nodded his head. "Hello Ryder. My name is.. Phil, call me Phil." Lowering his voice, he added, "Alethia sent me."

"Hello Phil.." Ryder yawns some more. "Oh sorry I'm being rude..come in please." Ryder moves out of the way to let Phil in, taking another moment to wake up he fully processes what Phil just said. "Alethia...the goddess..is that what you just said?"

"I didn't say goddess," Phil chuckles. "That would have someone suggesting I put on a hugging-jacket. But that was what I implied. Yes, Alethia sent me to ask a favor of you, Ryder. How's life, by the way?"

"Eh..oh life is fine I suppose. My classes aren't too hard and I'm almost a junior now. What kind of favor could Alethia have to ask me Phil?"

"Research, of course," Philosophy chuckled. "You don't mind do you? It might require a bit of travel, or at least some question-asking. She's looking for places ripe to move into and influence. Mexico is nearly ours, thanks to the Twins. But where else could we expand?"

"Oh I see..hmm well I guess I could call it studying abroad. Yeah that sounds pretty fun actually, of course I'll have to find a place to go. Have you expanded into Asia any?"

"No," Phil said quickly, perking up. "Though Shima has expressed quite an interest in Japan." He cocked his head, smirking. "Wanna study in Japan, Ryder? We can arrange the trip for you. Though you would be working for us instead of actually studying; in exchange, The All Knowing is willing to give you all the knowledge you would have gleaned in studying this year."

"Hm..okay I'll do it. Who could pass up a trip to Japan? It'd be an honor to help The All Knowing. I'll have to start packing right away I guess. Is there anything else I should know about the trip, oh and will I be going alone?" Ryder doesn't move too much in his seat, but he can barely contain his excitement about getting to go to Japan.

"I'd escort you if I could," Phil offered politely. "But alas, I can't step foot there until Japan is a devout worshiper of our dear pantheon. And you'll have help too. I've been informed we already have a worshiper of a god in the pantheon there. Her name eludes me, but you might bump into her. You may take whomever you wish if you like, though it'd be best if the circumstances of why remained... hush hush shall we say? Now, is there anything you'll be needing?"

"Uh..I won't need anything but the plane ticket, a place to stay and maybe a little cash." Ryder replies. "Hm..I guess I won't bring anyone with me, I can just try and find the other worshipper."

Phil nods, checking his pockets until finding a gold colored credit card, holding it over to Ryder. "That's Alethia's credit card for when she decides to come to the mortal realm. She got tired of conjuring up cash. Withdraw some money while you're in the States and buy yourself a plane ticket. You have.. seemingly endless money on that card, but don't abuse the gift, okay?"

Ryder looks at the card and blinks. Waving his hands in front of Phil he pushes it back to him. "I'm sorry, but I'm a college student..we're in a constant state of being broke and I'm only human I don't know if I could resist the temptation to splurge. You withdraw the money.."

Phil's eyes twinkle in delight. "Very well. You must be an unhappy person. As Spenser said, 'Money is human happiness in the abstract: he, then, who is no longer capable of enjoying human happiness in the concrete devotes his heart entirely to money.' I will be back in an hour." Turning, he leaves.
