True enough. I think I'd make a pretty bad detective if I had to do it in the real world, so at least one of us knows how to make these things work. Maybe I'd just choose Hermes.
God of boundaries, roads and travelers, thieves, athletes, shepherds, commerce, speed, cunning, and wit. Able to move freely between the land of Gods and mortals and acts as a divine messenger.

At first, I thought it wasn't a good thing to have him fit me. But now that I'm thinking about it, not all of those things have to be bad. So it could be fine if that was a god I wanted to believe in.
