So fuda_100 had a challenge of "paperwork" the same week 100_roadtrips had the theme of "crossovers." The two combined. Betaed by Eliza and Rune.

"Is all this paperwork for my nephew and his companions?" Kanzeon Bosatsu tsked over Tatsumi's shoulder. "How inefficient."

"We would not wish for poor records-keeping to delay their return to life, Boddhisattva," Tatsumi answered. Politely.

"Well, if you're going to insist on so many forms, at least get Konzen to help you."

"Does he have any experience?"

"He was a bureaucratic god." Hir lips twitched suspiciously. "I'm sure he has exactly the experience you need. Just don't pull him entirely from fieldwork, or he might get...cranky."

Tatsumi could imagine. "We will keep him occupied."

Se grinned. "You do that."
