Hey! Um... so I've been thinking about this for a couple of days, but I heard....

[He trails off before regrouping. He should've rehearsed this before he started recording it, but he's got no idea how to go back and delete and re-record now. Onward!]

I heard I used to be a god! I mean, I don't remember, obviously, but if I really was, I guess I should say I'm sorry. And I look forward to meeting you all again. And, um.

[Really should have rehearsed.]

I don't owe anybody money, right?

[He laughs uncomfortably and rushes ahead.]

-- Anyway I guess that's about it! Nice to meet you all again! Sorry I forgot!

[Nailed it. Before he can think better of this whole idea, he hastily stops the recording and hits send.]

Why are you worried about owing money?

Voice

[sweetdeath]

Be... cause I don't have a lot?

[Any, actually. Sakura's been taking care of that kind of thing and Tsuzuki just hasn't worried about it.]

Anyway, that was a joke! I probably don't!

[Because he's sure he was a responsible god who was really good with his funds and never borrowed any! ... He hopes.]

[ God's could revert back to Shinki's? ]

When did you become a shinki?

[sweetdeath]

I got here last week, if that's what you mean. During the big Tanabata festival. I don't know too much about what happened before that, though.

[ He usually avoids the network because of trolls, but he still skims the new posts from time to time. Most of the chatter is from folks he doesn't know talking about things that don't concern him, but today there's a familiar name at the top of the list. ]

You got demoted huh? Ha ha!

[sweetdeath]

I wonder what I did to make that happen

I must have been a pretty shore

SHITTY god

[rainbowmaster]

So you used to be a god?

[That's. Interesting.]

...You seemed to be more worried about possibly owing money, though.

Audio

[sweetdeath]

That was a joke! I don't really! I mean, I don't, or someone would have said by now, right?

Anyway, yeah. Or that's what this guy said.

[And while he's willing to believe Lavi about Loki being bad news, the guy's story made sense of a lot of weird reactions Tsuzuki has been getting so far.]

[very_goodman]

Damn, that's a hell of a promotion! Wonder what ya did to earn that.

Voice

[sweetdeath]

... Wait, going from god to shinki's a promotion?

I thought I must've gotten in some serious trouble.

[chickshades]

yeah about ¥5000

[sweetdeath]

ok but I think all debts are wiped out by death, so I don't have to pay you back. sorry

[dominatriarch]

No, you don't owe me money. But I will say I'm relieved to see that it's alright for you to know of your previous existence as a god.

[ At least she can breathe easy again. Less tension. Always good. ]

[sweetdeath]

I'm fine, so I guess it's not a big deal hearing about it! Has that happened to other people? Getting demoted from god to shinki?

From: Yoon; Voice

[handsome_genius]

Wait... is this like... normal? Did someone tell you that too?

[ Because if so he's about to get really freaked out. ]

Voice

[sweetdeath]

I don't think it's normal! Actually I think it's pretty weird, but I don't remember anything about being a god.

[Obviously. He doesn't remember anything about anything.]

But I guess it happens sometimes?

[Not here]

[volksdaemon]

[ He is thoroughly popcorning all of this. ]

From: Ksitigarbha; Voice

[royaltyloyalty]

[ Oh great another one. Maybe this is becoming more frequent? Geez. ]

... No shit? Someone told you that?

[And you're still here, not blighted into hell. They'd talked before, after all.]

Voice

[sweetdeath]

Yeah. He couldn't figure out why I didn't know him at first, so he told me.

I mean, I still don't remember it, but I don't think he was lying.

From: Kairi; Voice

[pure_radiantics]

Ah, that's... Hmm. I've only heard of the opposite happening, actually. A shinki who became a god.

I hope you're not, uhm... upset? About being a shinki?

[Because she likes it. Or at least, she sees the partnership between gods and shinki doesn't think either one is above the other, at least the good gods treat her that way.]

Voice;

[sweetdeath]

No way! I've got a good goddess, so being a shinki's fine with me.

I kind of wonder what I did to get in that much trouble, though.

[he clears his throat.]

Who was it who became a god?

(Voice)

[stonebird]

That must be an awkward situation for you, but you needn't apologize. It is not as if you chose to forget and change into a shinki.

Voice

[sweetdeath]

Maybe I did. I wouldn't remember either way.

... Anyway, it's more that it's got to be hard to see somebody who doesn't remember you! So I feel bad if anybody went through that because of me.

Voice (late but whoops)

[bussounoshima]

[Another case like Gojyo. But some idiot actually went and told him...]

... Nice to meet you too. How are you feeling?

Voice

[sweetdeath]

A little weird. I mean... I don't remember any of it. It's like it happened to somebody else, you know?

But otherwise I'm fine.

audio

[fizzipocus]

...You really don’t remember anything? [The question slipped out before she realized that wasn’t a question she should be asking. Or so she thought, anyway.]

Uh, I mean, I don’t think you owe anyone money! So don’t worry!

audio

[sweetdeath]

Nothing at all.

[He's silent for a moment before, hesitantly, continuing.

... Did I know you? I mean -- some people have said they knew me. It's fine. I'm just-- you know. I'm just sorry I don't remember.
