[incendiarism]

Posted: April 26th
From: Xuanwu

[Have a video, people of the Far Shore, because typing this out would take too long. Judar is patient enough to do his make-up for this, but not enough to keep typing out every single response.]

My shinki is broke or something. She keeps leaking her feelings everywhere. Somebody tell me how to get her to shut it off.

[He gestures to the girl next to him, who looks incredibly uncomfortable with the topic. Apparently, his patience doesn’t extend to his shinki, either… A single day of knowing how she feels was enough to sink that ship.]

I’m not dealing with this every day!

[Jennifer glances to Judar, her expression apologetic.] I-- I'm sorry. I really will try to do better...

[Someone, please help what is possibly the worst god-shinki match in history avoid blighting each other.]

((OOC: Both Judar and Jennifer will be responding!))

[ The image of the girl apologizing has him nearly breaking his device on the spot. He knew something like this was inevitable but knowing it and seeing it was something altogether different. ]

She's not broken.

[ Really, you should commend him for keeping himself under very tight control, yet his eyes give him away. He's pissed. ]

[incendiarism]

[Oh, somebody is mad. Unfortunately, Judar really isn't affected by those kinds of looks, and righteous anger of this kind hardly even registers. He gives a shrug and acts like nothing is wrong.]

Oh, really? Because not being able to stop bothering other people with magic sounds like a problem to me.

[lecturehall]

You're the one who seems more emotional. Getting annoyed over such a minor thing is detrimental in the long run. Stop complaining and take it for what it is: a lesson in cooperation. It seems like a skill you need.

[theunluckygirl]

But it's fine for him to be emotional, isn't it? It isn't as though I can feel it like he can. If I can control my emotions better, it'll be better for both of us, right?

[incendiarism]

I don't want to put up with someone who flinches every time someone looks at her. Cooperation with her is never gonna happen.

[She might not be quite that bad, but it's close.]

Besides, you sound way more annoyed than me.

[toremainbehind]

Instead of treating the young lady in such a way, wouldn't it be best to help her and figure out exactly what's wrong?

[incendiarism]

No way. She cries even when people are being nice to her. How am I supposed to deal with that?

[Not that he'd be able to deal with her even outside of that, but it's not helping.]

[killsthebuddha]

It's a simple spell. Write the name that seals her to you in gestures, speak it and say "I release you."

Girl, you'll find someone else to take you on if you ask around.

[theunluckygirl]

But I was given to him, wasn't I? I can't just leave, just like that.

[It can't possibly be that easy, right??]

[incendiarism]

I said I wanted to stop feeling her extra stuff on top of mine. I didn't say anything about dropping her.

[AKA, "I don't want her, but I don't want anyone else to have her, either."]

[mybadhabit]

Perhaps if you treated her with some semblance of respect and care instead of shaming her for her feelings? She's your weapon, you will be relying on her in battle.

Not to mention, if you make her feel negatively enough, she'll Blight you. Treat her respectfully out of self-preservation if actually caring is outside of your capabilities.

[theunluckygirl]

I'll Blight him?!

[THIS DOES NOTHING TO MAKE HER FEEL BETTER]

Then, I have to work even harder.

[incendiarism]

[Well, that riles Judar's feathers more than he'd like. Potential danger vs getting what he wants is a tough call.]

Are you kidding? She's not going to Blight me! She can't even stand up for herself!

[wadoichimonji]

She is not broken you moron. Talk to her or something.

[incendiarism]

That's the most she's said to me all day! Talking is a two way street, you know.

[Not that he's really tried, but that's unimportant. Right?]

[connivingbird]

[He's going to be lazy for once and just stick to video here too, so have a delicate looking blond guy sitting a tree with a very large bird of prey sitting next to him having a fish for dinner.]

You do realize that the more emotions the girl represses the nastier your Blight will get when she finally breaks? Shutting them off will be worse for you both.

[theunluckygirl]

Is that so...? [She doesn't look very enthused about that bit of knowledge though] But, I don't know how to stop feeling this way to begin with...

[incendiarism]

[A man who speaks his language. That bird is cool and distracting enough that Judar forgets to be really annoyed that he's not getting what he wants and focuses on the more important thing right now.]

Ugh, fine, she doesn't have to shut them off! Bu can't she learn not to project them so hard? It's giving me a headache.

[blindfoldcode]

If you don't want her to feel worse, maybe don't put it that way.

[She was a troublemaker accidentally at the start.

She's thankful, once again, for her match up.]

[theunluckygirl]

It's alright, I'm used to it. I think.

[She doesn't really have memories, obviously, but it feels familiar enough that it doesn't feel like a shock to be treated like this. Which... Jenny no.]

[rainofterror]

Might help if you stopped bein' a jackass.

[I mean...]

[incendiarism]

[Oh, them's fightin' words, Archie.]

You know, I never thought of it that way!

[He looks completely shocked in the fakest way imaginable. Nobody but the most gullible would fall for it.]

Too bad you can't stop being stupid as easily, huh?

[koukai_kirai]

[He figured out how to use the video function specifically to as not to waste a good Bitchface. Just for you, Judar.]

She's a shinki. She doesn't remember anything to be upset about besides what you've either given her to be upset about or personally failed to help her handle.

Her feelings are there to guide you. If you're not making enough effort to understand them and cooperate with her, that's not her damn fault.

[theunluckygirl]

It's strange, but... I'm more anxious if someone treats me kindly. When he acts like this, it feels... [She pauses, trailing off and staring into her lap. Not right. Right doesn't feel like the word, but--]

Familiar...? I think this-- a role like this, must be something I'm suited for. So, maybe it's fine... ["Maybe I'm always supposed to be treated this way, so it's okay," more or less.]

[vindicavi]

Did you try asking?

[ Dealing with feelings isn't his forte either, and it seems kind of hypocritical of him given his track record with emotions that aren't hate, but Sasuke isn't Judar, so it's easier to say it. Criticizing others is always easier. ]

[incendiarism]

[And that is precisely the reason Judar is being such a jerk about it. It's easier to push it onto Jennifer than deal with it himself.]

Obviously, that's the first thing I tried. It just made her worse!

[If by "asking" you mean "told her to knock it off already", then yes.]

[punchpass]

You're being very rude to your shinki. I suggest you apologize and try to understand her feelings rather than writing them off as troublesome.

[theunluckygirl]

He's a god, isn't he? He doesn't really have to apologize for anything. It's my fault, so, it's fine.

[beastenderblood]

What kind of emotions?

[She assumes not good ones but maybe they need to be stealthy about getting Judar to be less terrible.]

[theunluckygirl]

He gets annoyed, and I feel guilty about it... I get scared easily, I suppose. It'd be annoying for anyone to feel. I don't blame him for being mad.

Mainly for Judar - Also Video

[volksdaemon]

I could probably fix her for you. The problem is she's stinging you, right? That's what you're trying to say?

[He actually doesn't know if he can manipulate a shinki's emotions the way he can a human's, but hey that's what experiments are for.]

[incendiarism]

She keeps getting upset over nothing, and I'm stuck dealing with it when she won't stop.

[Well, that gets his attention quickly. So far, everyone has been telling him to deal with it and quit whining, and this is the first person who's actually said he can do something about it.]

You can fix her? How?
