Hello. This is Midoriya Izuku for those of you who don't know me well. I've been talking with a few people, and it seems that while newly minted gods often get somebody to guide them through their arrival, shinki aren't so lucky.

I think it would be good if we could compile a resource for newly arrived shinki. There's no reason they need to be so confused upon their arrival.

As I'm not a shinki, I don't know everything that should go into it. Could those who are please say what they would have liked to know earlier?

Thank you for your time.

pretty sure most of these have been covered already but
teaching the ancient relics how to use modern technology
how to draw a fucking borderline without it falling to the mightiest stomps of the first fly to land on it
some indication that there are spells other than borderlines we can learn would also be sweet
basic information about nora including that we can be named against our will
on that note
people we can go to if we get named against our will
how not to blight our god
the whole difference between a god telling a shinki about their past and a shinki remembering naturally
also specifically that we turn into ayakashi if we know too much because some people dont seem to have gotten that message yet

theres probably more i could list but then wed be here all night

[fullcowl]

Those are all good points that I'll note down.

I don't mind if you'd like to list out everything. Information like this is good to have, even if it needs to be parred down once we start writing.

[redotiertwo]

alright then lets keep going
who to go to for learning the non borderline stuff would be cool since i still have basically no clue who knows their shit on that front and ive been here a while
basic info about ablutions as well as the whole confess to your fucking god before it gets that bad caveat
not freaking out when an item shows up from home

you get the general idea right

[fullcowl]

Yeah, I've got it.
Things that are specific to the new shinki and stuff that's related to just being a shinki.
Right?

[redotiertwo]

pretty much
on that note though arent you the guy who organizes all the info on shit thats gone down since we started coming here
you sure you can handle stacking this on top of that

[fullcowl]

I didn't realize I had a reputation.

Yes, I am. It shouldn't be too much trouble, I've gotten some help with the timeline organization. Big things also seem to happen on a fairly regular basis, so I can plan for that.

I'm also getting help in writing the shinki guide so it's not like I'm doing this all alone or anything.

[redotiertwo]

the internet never forgets my dude
post a thing one time and you will be known for it forever

true
but compiling the amount of advice youre going to end up with is gonna be borderline herculean at this rate
theres a lot of dissatisfied shinki around here

[fullcowl]

As far as things go, that's not bad.

I can't blame them. Everybody has a different experience and it seems like people get matched up at random. They can't all work out.

[redotiertwo]

in terms of things eternally committed to the transient memoryspace of the internet
yeah you could do a lot worse

true
i got lucky but you have to feel bad for the people who end up with complete chucklefucks

[fullcowl]

I'm fine with being the information guy.

So do I. I don't know how to help when it's all randomly assigned.

[redotiertwo]

wasnt there someone talking about a support network a while back
did that ever actually go anywhere or did it just sort of die on arrival

[fullcowl]

That's very difficult to do when people disappear at random, even as useful as it could've been.

[redotiertwo]

fair
but if it was big enough then you could probably at least get people coming in the same speed they leave
problem is finding people to organise it who arent going to vanish

[fullcowl]

I can only think of three or so people who've been around for a long time. And one of them is me.
Even if people have been here for a long time, there's no guarantee they'll stay.

[redotiertwo]

are you sure thats all of them though
like youre clearly no slouch but assuming you know all the people whove been here for the long run seems like a bad idea

and true but theres probably more chance of it
theyve proved their staying power so to speak
you probably dont have to be concerned about them disappearing a week after you hire them
rather than a month

[fullcowl]

Yeah. There's no way I know everybody who's been here.

...?
Hiring? I have no idea how to hire people, I'm not even employed.
Technically, unless you can call becoming a god a job.

[redotiertwo]

yeah exactly
might be worth asking whos been here long enough to have seen some shit
and to probably not disappear

whatever term you want to use for asking people to help with the thing
hire them
volunteer them
tribute them to the eldritch beasts that exist only in the corners of our perception

[fullcowl]

[Uh...]

Have you seen any eldritch beasts?

[redotiertwo]

come on dude
reading comprehension
how am i supposed to see them if they exist only in the corners of our perception

[fullcowl]

Right, sorry.

I've been staring at my phone for a while now. I probably need a break

[redotiertwo]

might i suggest instead staring at a computer screen
perhaps at some exquisitely curated cat videos

[fullcowl]

That sounds like a good break.

Thanks.

[redotiertwo]

no problem
have fun at the heavenly printing press
