[Chikusa actually meant to make this post a while ago, but.... Well. Things happened. Whatever. He's making it now.]

This is for the benefit of what new people who have arrived and all those who ignored Kairi and Yukine's warning here, but I'll repeat it all. It's apparently necessary.

There are three ways to get blight:
1. Touch a person that is blighted.
2. Touch an ayakashi.
3. Feeling guilt.

The first two can be washed away with holy water from a shrine or temple. The last can only be cleaned up reliably if you apologize for your guilt and repent to your god. If you don't and only continue to feel guilt, it will build up.

Shinki carrying too much blight become ayakashi. This should be enough of a deterrent but it's repeatedly been shown not to be.

In the event that a shinki doesn't repent and a god doesn't want to release them, an ablution can help. However, not only is it extremely painful for both shinki and god alike, it requires three separate shinki with extremely powerful borderlines and knowledge of the ablution incantation.

I have taken part in three ablutions in the last two months. I have no faith that people will do the sensible thing. So I'm offering myself for any future ablutions since an ayakashi on the loose in the Far Shore would be annoying. I guarantee that my borderline is reliable and that it won't matter how the targeted shinki reacts.

Just repay me for having to deal with such a troublesome and annoying thing.

Wouldn't you out of everyone know?

[Why are all the people who require an ablution idiots...]

[bartenderizing]

i mean whether i knew or not i really suck at putting it into words

besides. i already said i was an idiot didnt i?

[ He did admit to being that, during the ablution. Of course that could also be him forcing his life into a far simpler one than it had to be. ]

[kokuyoyo]

Actual idiots don't usually admit to such.

[At least not so freely. Chikusa would know considering who he lives with, although he's far less inclined to call Ken an idiot these days.]

[bartenderizing]

well i dont have a high enough opinion of myself to pretend otherwise

[ Well. The low opinion is certainly something no one could deny. ]

[kokuyoyo]

No wonder you stung your god.

[bartenderizing]

there shouldnt be any wonder at all when you were part of the ablution

[ When he literally called himself a monster, or just about did. Also with how minor, in retrospect, all the stuff he confessed really was. Then again, he also confessed that he knew how much it would hurt Yona, but was trying to use the situation to force her hand in taking away the name.

But fuck you, he's not going to let anyone kill the girl. Suggest that again and no tranquil yoyos will save you. ]

[kokuyoyo]

Just don't cause trouble again. It's annoying.

[bartenderizing]

well just find someone else if it happens again. whether or not its me

[ He doesn't look to cause trouble. He's just someone that easily feels guilt, even for things out of his control. ]

[kokuyoyo]

Do you know who's capable of taking part in ablutions?

[bartenderizing]

kairi and that yukari kid or whatever his name is

[ Izumo and Goten don't need to be added, as they've already shown that they're capable. ]

[kokuyoyo]

[...]

You'll probably want to get people's names right before you ask them for favors.

[bartenderizing]

ah so i got it wrong

[ He was hoping his 'guess' at remembering would actually pan out for once. ]

[kokuyoyo]

Yes.

I wrote his name out up in the original post.

[You could have just looked, Shizuo???]

[bartenderizing]

[ He did??? Then it slipped his mind again. ]

oh yeah

i dont know why but i just keep forgetting it

[kokuyoyo]

I'm starting to believe you about being stupid now.

[gdi chikusa]

[bartenderizing]

ive said it enough times already havent i?

[kokuyoyo]

There's a difference.

[bartenderizing]

how? its not like i say things like that lightly or if i didnt think it was true

[kokuyoyo]

You can think something is true and still be wrong about it.

[bartenderizing]

well now you know better

[ He knows it's true, instead of just thinking it is. This doesn't make him look any better- in fact, he's dumber for arguing that he knows he's an idiot and that the kid should've believed him in the beginning. ]

[kokuyoyo]

I definitely know something.

[Which is that Shizuo is stupid but in new and surprising ways that have nothing to do with what he says is the problem. Amazing.]

[bartenderizing]

[ Well, just you wait. He might be stupid, but he'll ablution your ass into seeing what he meant. Also yeah, he's done replying- the guy fell asleep. ]
