Hey, everyone!

[Since things have... seemed to relax a little bit, Wendy is dressed properly, in a frilly sort of sundress and relaxing on the lawn of Hibiki's ostentatious temple. Somehow she's managed to position the camera so that it's not being blinded by one of the many gold statues around.]

A lot more important things have been happening for a while, but now seems like a pretty good time to ask about some things that I was wondering about. Basically, what were some things you wondered about or had a lot of questions on when you first arrived here? Or maybe they're questions you still have.

For example, I know that there are a bunch of people who struggled with figuring out the phones, since I was one of them.

Basically, things about being a shinki, or a god.... the Near Shore and the Far Shore... Even stuff about Japan in general.

Call this a professional interest!

[Linking her hands together underneath her chin, Wendy tilts her head to the side and smiles.]

From: Ginia
Date: April 26th


I'm Ginia, shinki to Chris and Ebisu. I found a new use for borderlines I want to share with everyone.

[Ginia, dressed in a black suit and wearing a dark green tie, smiles and waves at the camera before she begins signing. A calm alto voice provides voiceover.]

A few weeks ago, I found a journal in the library belonging to a shinki from a few centuries ago. They had a theory a borderline could fill a space in more than a vertical or horizontal configuration. It's easy for a shinki to block a hallway or window with a borderline, but what about something irregularly shaped and without damaging the space around it?

The author never figured out a practical application for the theory. They realized while the control in itself was impressive, it was rare a shinki would need to shield something to a specific shape when simply casting a borderline in front or behind the target would do.

However, borderlines don't only have to shield or cut. Studying the theory, I realized the motions were similar to my boyfriend's vessel ability. I decided to combine the two ideas into a healing spell.

[The camera angle cuts to an overhead angle. There's a person’s hand on the table, fresh cat scratches raking across the skin. Across from them, Ginia's left hand (identifiable by the red 発 on the back of her hand) drops into the halberd position for borderlines.]

Use the halberd position for borderlines and draw a line around the injury as close as possible. You want to focus on a borderline as you draw it out. You also have to draw a continuous line and this requires physical contact. This can work through clothing, but it’s better if you can see the injury to know the full shape.

[Ginia's fingers circle around the injury, a glowing line on skin left behind her fingers. She creates a closed circle and flicks her fingers toward the center of the circle as it’s completed, her right hand signing "Line!" The circle glows as it covers the scratches.]

Once you cast the borderline, you want to hold it and channel energy into it. You can feel when the spell is no longer healing, especially in the case of deeper injuries, but you can still maintain it. It's possible I don't have the skill yet for deeper injuries, but it could still prevent blood loss.

[Ginia releases the borderline. The glow disappears and the scratches are gone without a trace of a scar. The angle cuts back to a front view.]

The spell works on bruises, scrapes, first-degree burns, and cuts that aren't too deep. No luck with broken bones, though it'll ease the pain. It might work better on sprains. It does not work on blight and I can’t imagine it would do much for illness. It works on gods and shinki.

Thank you for your time. If you have any questions, I’ll answer as much as I can. I'll also help anyone who wants practice.

[A written transcript is included after the video.]

((ooc: For spell specifics, this is a healing spell for mild injuries (shallow cuts, bruises, light burns/blisters, sprains). This would not heal a broken bone or deep cut, but could stabilize/soothe the injury until someone with stronger healing magic could look at it. This will not treat blight or illness.

This is considered a Tier 1 shinki spell, don't forget to comment on the Shinki Spell page if your character wants to learn the spell! You don't have to comment here to learn the spell either.)

Did you ever find something out about yourself and you're like "oh yeah, that explains a lot" but you don't really know what to do with it once you know it? Like, it's really weird to ask someone about? Or you aren't sure if you should be telling people?

I think this is why shinki aren't supposed to remember stuff. But I guess it's not so different from knowing something all along and not knowing what to do about it? Maybe? I mean, I was kind of unhappy not knowing it and knowing it does at least make that make sense, but I'm not sure it fixed anything?

You get what I'm saying, right?

Uhm... Dust? Has anyone seen him today?

[ It's Kairi's voice coming out of a feline-vulpine-ish face. She's more shocked and confused than anything. ]

Oh I wish Kaden were still here... or Nyanta...

[ She doesn't remember that there were talking anthropomorphic creatures from her world, but she's been friends with them here long enough that it's more her becoming one that's the weird bit. She never saw Sora change appearances when going between worlds either. ]

Did I even get this to turn on? I'm missing a-- Well, my hand is different, so this is pretty difficult. Can anyone hear me?

[So Leo is. Distressed, to say the least. The wedding is soon, there's still things to get and organize and do and he seems not to be aware that he accidentally got his device to record.]

--no, dammit, that's not the voice recognition program at all, is it? Dammit, I thought these things were supposed to be helpful!

[The camera shifts--Leo is holding the phone as he makes his way to his computer before setting it down. There is furious typing as he tries to google how to make things work.]

"Model number", what the hells is a model number. Oh, damn it all, I'll just find their number again, surely it can't be that hard...

[Type type smack smack smack.]

Stupid thing, work damn you!

[ Nanako appears on the video screen this morning (because video is still easier than typing out longer messages) looking a little confused. And... maybe a little different? Is her hair longer? Has something else changed? It's hard to tell. But she's frowning very seriously as she records the video and looks to be trying to figure something out herself. ]

I... I'm back? I'm back in my temple again. Hello? Was I gone a long time? Are people still here? Sora's not here anymore - I can't feel him at all - but Chikusa? Ken? Is everyone else still here? How long was I gone for? I don't know what happened. I was home again and... now I'm back.

[ For a moment, she looks like she's about to cry over that, so she quickly closes the video again. ]

I know this may seem like such a trite and of little worthy regard given all that has happened over the last several weeks, but truly, I am a fool who has allowed their thoughts to be consumed with but one thing when I should be focused on my service here. Forgive this, and my fool's heart, but I feel as if I can no longer simply let this fester in my mind.




What does it mean if the very idea of love brings naught but profound pain? The sort that makes your chest ache tremendously, and your mind to burn as if buried in embers. When the very idea of it inspires tears, and no happiness can be found?

I can find none who know this pain. Am I damaged in some way? Is my mind and heart corrupted by a sort of blight we know not of?

From: Romeo
Date: 14th April

[Romeo is sat crossed legged on his bed, his phone propped up against a pile of books. He is in what seems to be his bedroom, on the wall behind him there are pictures stuck to the wall. Many of them childish drawings of people and places in the heavens. Some of much better quality are most likely gifts he has recieved off his friends. He is holding a soft toy and he is playing with it's ears as he waits for the camera to load properly.

Last time he had had big questions filling his head he had asked them on the BBS and got some very good answers, so it seemed like the best thing to do now that he had more.]


Hello everyone! It's Romeo again! So last night I had a dream, 'cept it wasn't a normal dream it was a memory from when I was alive.

[He knows he needs to be careful! That talking about this could be dangerous for him and for other people.] Don't worry! I'm not trying to push my head and remember more things and I spoke to Elfnein about the important bit.

[The important bit being Alfredo. His friend. The brave boy with the kindest smile and the strongest heart who had swore eternal friendship to him.]

But I got... Some questions I guess because I remembered things and I didn't know them or I did but I forgot and it's a bit confusing.

[Like the volcano had been confusing. When everything Romeo thought he knew was slightly off and the world was all a bit more complicated and scarier than he thought. He punched the air, keeping his spirits up.]

Did you know you could buy kids?

Date: 11th April

[The camera is a little shaky as it moves through corridors, twisting and turning. Whoever this mysterious poster is he is moving slowly, as if he were exploring somewhere dangerous and frightening.

There is a noise in the background and as the phone gets closer it is recognisable as singing. The phone moves around a door to a kitchen where Shen Wei can be found at a chopping board surrounded by various ingredients, meat and vegetables.

He is singing as he works. In full flow of the song. There's a soft laugh from whoever this mysterious individual with access to Shen Wei's temple might be.

The image fades and refocusing, clearly later. Or another day. It's hard to say but the camera is now at a different angle, as if the filmer might be in a tunnel, or hidey hole close to the ground.

This time Shen Wei at the oven, frying meat, boiling noodles and once again he is singing as he works.

The footage is posted with just a single line in text.]


See he is not as stuffy and strict as he makes out to be!

[ The video starts with the relaxing and refreshing (oh how refreshing it is) view of the evening Hawaiian beach. A moment after Caster comes into the picture- clad in gaudy Hawaiian shirt, hair let loose like usual. There might be a glimpse of few beer cans around, well- vacations right? ]

Yo! Nothing like vacations to finally bring an issue up, eh? See- it seems that there’s been plenty of “mistaken identity” cases recently. Once, twice it might happen, but any more times and some people might find it annoying.

[ That’s where Caster drags into picture Berserker. And since he is also clad in a Hawaiian shirt (as opposed to usual spiky armor), with his mullet let loose, the resemblance between the two is now incredibly more uncanny. Of course few “spot the difference” make it easier to tell them apart. Berserker’s red face tattoos for one. Caster’s hair appears to be a shade lighter. Not to mention Berserker seems to be kind of bulkier build. Still, they could be twins. ]

See, my fellow here, Berserker, he finds it very annoying. [ Emphasis on "very" ]

Just to remember: He’s not exactly me. I’m not exactly him! It’s really rude to mix people up. [ Caster is too amused to sound like he’s truly chastising anyone. ]

Rude and foolish. [ Berserker crosses his arms over his chest. Even in his ridiculous shirt, he’s still surly as ever. ] Now you’ve seen us together, you can stop confusing us.

[ His lip curls back to show sharp teeth, a strange smile. ]

We’re not twins...I’m feeling generous today. Ask us anything, just say which one you’re asking.

[ Nothing like volunteering someone for questioning! ]

[Hello Far Shore, no silly videos involving cats or hawks but there is a voice on the end who sounds like he needs some help. And considering how close to a certain date this is, it's something he kind of forgot. You would too if you were knee deep into the crazy cultist stuff.]

Well met, everyone. I come asking for assistance since in the midst of recent events, there is a matter that myself and my dearest have forgotten to inquire on for our wedding. Rather...two things. We are seeking someone who can perform the ceremony as well as anyone musically inclined to perform at the reception.

If you know of anyone who can do these or if you yourself have the knowledge, you can reply to this message or you can see me at my office at Glitnir. We are hoping for soon as possible but we would like to make sure of our choices by the 18th at the latest.

[ Rise and shine early birds! There's a prim-looking young woman who is smiling broadly and doing her darndest to contain herself as she speaks formally to all who will listen. She is well-dressed enough, but her hair is completely down. ]

Good morning, all who dwell in the Far Shore! I must speak with you about an urgent matter - and so I resolved to use this device once more, to the best of my ability.

[ She holds up a single finger. ]

I have just learned that the regular training scheduled to engage with new gods would be in service of one new god! So I have made the following bargain with Amaterasu-sama -- that I would personally speak with and train this new god in the ways of the Far Shore in exchange for a holiday excursion for all who would join us! I just... could not stand idly by after you all worked so hard and dealt such a blow to those who threatened us!

[ She lowers her hand. ]

There is just one small problem...

[ She looks expectantly up once more, a resigned sort of smile there. ]

I do not know all of you as well as I would like! So if I were to bring a suggestion or two for such an excursion before Amaterasu-sama, I do not know what that should be! I have... certainly never been able to consider such things myself, so I would not be a good person to decide for all of you.

Therefore, would you do me the favor of telling me: where do you consider a beautiful place to travel to and relax? Perhaps a place that is better suited to entertainment? I heard of a place called Capypa Land...

[ She shakes her head. ] This is not about me. [ And calms herself again. ]

Unfortunately we do not have much time, so please-!!

[ She bows her head, a little awkwardly since she's holding the phone. ]

------

[Some days after the raid on the cultist compound and...]

my boyfriend is stupid

[And with that, Chikusa links a video of Ken making a very impressive leap in quick reaction to a paintball! ...which he catches with his mouth. The video stays on him for a few seconds later, with all the coughing, spitting, and rolling that goes with it.]

[One of these days a pet shaming sign is going to be put on that dog.]

[But that's not all! Because while he's pet shaming...]


my cats are also dumb

[There's another link to a different video. This one is in broad daylight, focused on one o the streets which goes through the illustrious Central District. Staying steady, the camera focuses on... a giant catfish of frankly monstrous proportions, larger than some people. Surrounding it is an absolute small army of nekomata. Those that are directly in contact with the fish are doing their very best to drag the fish along with their teeth, jaws locked into the flesh of the beast. Others around them seem to be slowly following along, concentrating intently. While it might be difficult to see on video, the cats are using a combined telekinetic effort to make the drag a little easier. Every now and then, the fish suddenly jerks and thrashes wildly, sending the cats scattering all over. They always come back, however, determined not to abandon their catch.]

[When they finally come near enough to the front of Temple Lie Tieguai, Chikusa's voice finally speaks up from behind the camera.]


I'm not preparing all of this...

[A dozen tiny cat voices rise up in protest, and the video cuts off.]
