[Nesir's still not really sure how these phones work but she's got the basics down. Not that she's tried talking on the message boards yet. It felt strange when she could just speak to them face to face without the trouble of pressing buttons and not accidentally pressing the wrong thing on the glass.

But she did admit it seemed a good way to reach multiple people at once and she can do it whilst being physically out of the way.

On a rooftop actually. It had seemed the safest place to spend the night, after waking up in a heap of rubble.]

My name is Nesir Aeser. I have been here about three weeks and was serving Noctis, the god Nox. He is gone now. [She sounds pretty matter of fact about that. She had been aware such things would happen, though it had not prepared her for the suddenness when it actually happened.]

Are there any gods in need of a shinki? I can fight with a variety of weapons, I turned into a dagger for Noctis though that might not mean anything going forwards. I'm decent at climbing. I probably have other skills I haven't figured out yet.

[That might be a lie, she's figured bits and pieces but she isn't about to announce them over this phone. She can explain further is she actually gets any gods interested in naming her.]

Please tell me if I should actually be letting the heavens know and being officially reassigned or something.

[As a general rule, Chikusa tends to look sort of like garbage, even on good days. For starers, he's so tall and lanky that one would be forgiven in thinking he doesn't a lot, despite the opposite of that being demonstratively true at any Far Shore event with free food. He also somehow manages to look perpetually exhausted, as if the world is really wearing him down and he'd love to get off the ride anytime now.]

[Today, however... He looks about as bad as when he first lost Axel, for anyone who were around to see him then. There's a distinct redness to his eyes that stands out in contrast to the shadows directly underneath them, as if he hasn't been getting any sleep. Spoilers: it's because he hasn't. Additionally, while there's no way for most people to know it, he's still wearing the same zombie beanie from when Minako came to visit.]

[Additionally, while the camera isn't focused on him and can only catch the top of the messy blond head, it's quite apparent that Chikusa is holding Ken close to him.]

...Hakkai-sama is gone.

[A post was already made about this subject? Joke's on you, Chikusa hasn't really looked at the BBS in days now.]

...But... His school isn't. And someone still needs to take care of that... So that's what I'll be doing. I'll be taking Ken and some things there today, if you need me.

[He doesn't promise that he'll speak to anyone, let alone help, and it's probably debatable if he'll even make eye contact with another living or afterliving creature... But he'll be there. Still holding onto Ken.]

If there's anyone who was using that place to teach... Let me know. Same on if there's anyone else who wants to teach.

Relatedly... I'll be starting to teach there as well. My subjects will be kanji, mathematics, murder, chemistry, first aid, housekeeping, and cooking...

[Going to... mention that one in the middle, Chikusa? No? Okay.]

I might... host some of those on the BBS if I remember. Hakkai-sama is very frugal, so the housekeeping class should be useful for newer gods, or temples that spend a lot. For cooking... What kind of recipes would people like to see more of...?

Hello, hi, how are you all!

[ Is D2 forcibly peppy? Only those who know him can tell. ]

Question! What's your favorite pastry, cookies, or the like? I'd like to bake but I can't really decide on what so I thought, why not ask! I'll take requests, and it's not limited to one kind if you can't decide on only one!

I'll be occupying Hibiki's kitchen for it so feel free to come be taste tester if you'd like!

I hear I am ignorant and stuff so, anyone know any movies and other play box things that I should look into?

Also music, got any tips on that?

How do you people even find stuff like that to know anyway, by the way?

From Pekko
Date June 10

[ Hello, Far Shorians, Gods and Shinki alike! Today you are presented with happy puppy breating.

And not just breating, there is a lot of slobbering and noses and tongues; the main culprit here is unknown, but one of the dogs (not so much puppies as pretty big dogs, from a chow chow to a Karakachan bear dog, two Norwegian Elkhounds and a Keeshond. All the doggos of temple Pekko are here, for some reason. And they are very excited, because there is food.

See, somebody stole the phone nad it ended up too close to their food bowls (almost in the water) and then one of them managed to access the BBS.

And this is just another funny chew toy, right? Like tree branches and shoes and pillows and stuff.

In the distance beyond curious noises, tongues and teeth, there is a mildly annoyed human-languaged voice, directed at the dogs. ]

Are you causing a mess again? I'll put your bowls outside if you keep at it.

[ Not all dogs tear their attention from the phone. Nor does the bird. Because there is also a bird pecking at the thing. It's a pilgrim goose. ]

date: June 9th

[The girl on the feed hasn't been here before... Is she new? (No, she just isn't good at social stuff. Sue her.) She doesn't seem terribly nervous, at least.]

I don't think I've been on the network since I arrived, so... I'm Rita. Rita Mordio, Zaphias Imperial Research Labratory... detached duty. Shut up, I know better, but it's habit by now. Anyway, I'm on for a reason, at least in part because certain things about modern science on both shores are pissing me off. I want to trade notes on magic systems - not shinki spells from here, but magic from home. I'm not here to steal your secrets, I just need to see if another perspective would help me figure out what I'm doing. I have some ideas but I want to see if there's a more elegant way to handle some things. Assistance will be appreciated, and also credited in any published works or designs. I'm an imperial scientist by trade, I don't steal work.

What do you know about vampires?

chibisu

From: Ebisu
Date: June 1

------

[As usual with Ebisu, this video takes place within his office where he's cheerfully looking into the camera. Is a dandy little vest and button up on today again? Oh, absolutely.]

Greetings, everyone. I'm sure that you are all quite busy, with events transpiring as they have, but I am here today to draw your attention to a festival which is occurring all month. I understand that many of you are gods foreign to Japan and recent cultural trends, so I hope this proves to be informative.

In the city of Nara- Naramachi to be exact- there is an art festival that will be ongoing throughout all of June. It's really a rather unique event! You see, that part of town has the nickname of Nyaramachi, because it's rather famous for its local cat population. So the art festival which takes place this month is very cat oriented! Hopefully it can help ease some of the stress that we've all been under. I've been told there are a variety of events to attend, and various items that can be bought, such as pottery or toys.

Although... If there are some people who perhaps have the time for it, it does seem as though there is a little trouble, as there usually is with large Near Shore events such as this. If anyone has the time to check in on a few things... Well, it would be appreciated. For all that this is a very fun event, well, it is ultimately for the sake of the feline residents' health and happiness, you see. I'm sure it's not only the humans which would appreciate any helping hands.

Hakkai’s gone.

From: Forseti
Date: May 30th

I have to wonder why during most crucial times that people somehow find themselves indisposed. But it does not appear that the Heavens have had much in the way of flames coming forth on this day...that I know of.

Has aught happened since I had fallen asleep?

So apparently it's possible to fall asleep for almost two weeks. It doesn't feel like it's been that long.

Did I miss anything interesting?

Date: May 17 2017, a little before noon

[ The video feed opens up on four fold-out plastic tables on the front lawn leading up to Glitnir - The Temple of Forseti. On each of the tables are a wide array of dishes. On a fifth table, there's takeaway containers, plasticware, and napkins.

Yoon has to shoo away a certain demon furball and hawk but eventually, he's able to turn back to the camera again.

He's weary from the effort, more the emotional rollercoaster he's been on lately than anything, but he brushes his hands and puts them on his hips. ]

This food was going to go bad anyway, so I brought it out here for anyone to have. I don't care if it's your lunch or dinner or tomorrow's breakfast. I just didn't want it to go to waste.

[ He didn't empty the temple entirely... but they'd definitely stocked up on perishable food that wasn't going to get eaten anytime quickly between Aymeric being asleep and the loss of a bottomless pit style eater. So Yoon left in the fridge what he knew he could eat for the next two weeks, the nonperishables that could last months, and that was all.

He rubs at his neck anxiously. ]

If it's too much of a hassle, I could probably bring something to you as well if you tell me what you want. Whatever it takes to make sure someone else enjoys all this food.

... Thanks for listening, I guess.

From: Oscar | Lugh
Date: May 9th

[The feed opens up with Oscar chilling out by the lake on his temple grounds. Even over video, it's clear the poor boy is feeling a bit awkward right now.]

So...I've been here for a few months now. And I'm somehow getting more people who want to follow Lugh--that's me, I guess--but I don't really know what I'm doing to make them want to do that. I'm just...answering a few prayers here and there? Is that really all it takes to be a god in this world? There's not anything else to it?

[He sighs, a little frustrated.]

I guess what I'm asking is how do you be a god, here?

From: Romeo

[Romeo looks confused as he looks into the camera]

Where did Fuwari go? She was a girl who came and was a god and she had a tiny temple in the woods and she was really nice and was miss Hibiki's friend. But her temple is gone now and I can't find her name in my phone. I know people sometimes disappear and their temples go too but she was only here for a few days and that's quicker than what normally happens.

And there was lots of people that day, lots and lots and a person who looked like a banana and I don't think I've seen them again either. [He definitely would remember the banana.]

So where did they all go?

We will offer up the findings of our own investigation at this meeting as well. We hope that those who seek to support our efforts to bring peace to the Heavens will come regardless, whether they have information to offer up in exchange or not. We have confirmed the suspicions of our existing confidants that this group is more organized, has spread throughout more of the Near Shore, and has greater magical capability than we originally thought possible. Through our joint efforts, may this discord be put to rest and calm restored.

Posted: May 1 (the day before the event)

We would like to express our gratitude to those who recently assisted in the events involving a compound which housed Heaven's enemies. Although we have reached the limit of our own investigation, we have learned recently that some of you returned to the compound site and performed other duties in the name of Heaven at the request of our counselor, Suijin.

We invite those who might have additional information regarding this compound and the group which occupied it to meet with Suijin at Noon tomorrow. If anyone wishes to arrive early, our shinki and our counselors' shinki will be defending the area. They will make it safe for us to learn as much as we can.

Please remember what is at stake, as we all have suffered the ruining of parts of the Far Shore for too long. Once again, do not allow anyone but yourself and your shinki to enter the Heavens through your shrines. If you are approached by strange gods asking for any favors, or if you have any other relevant information and cannot meet with Suijin tomorrow, please inform one of our shinki immediately. Do not offer assistance to Heaven's enemies.

Thank you.

From: Minako
Date: May 1st

Um.. hey!

[ Although Minako smiles, there's something a bit muted about her. If not just for the fact that the volume of her voice currently isn't rupturing your eardrums right away with the greeting. ]

I thought I should let everyone know, since a lot of people know her.. But it's probably going to be difficult to reach Zelda for a while. Because she's asleep! And, you know, not just "doesn't want to get up in the morning" asleep. More like.. "sudden spring hibernation" sleep? Which is something that.. sometimes happens, I guess!

[ It's fine. This is fine. It's fine! See, she's smiling. Totally cool. ]

I guess.. until she wakes up, I'm going to try and take care of Metis temple affairs. [ Sure, Natsuru is there too, but Minako is the Exemplar! Not to mention Minako does have a natural leader sense - despite her lack of memories - and a huge sense of responsibility. It comes natural to try and take the whole world on her shoulders if needed. ] So if you need anything.. just let me know instead!

.. yeah, that's all. Thanks for listening, everyone!

A recent conversation has given me something quite interesting to consider:

We are assigned to the roles of certain gods. What does one do if one feels that particular god doesn't suit them?

What if the god has a particularly unsavory reputation? Or perhaps even too flawless a reputation?

Does the god someone is assigned to represent color what you think about them? Would you, for example, be less likely to trust a god of decay with taking care of your houseplants? A god of foxes for pet-sitting your chickens?

It's an interesting thing to consider.

[It sure has been a long time since that mysterious romance anon popped up, which is kind of funny considering that they tossed out two chapters immediately after one another the last time he popped up. However, today, well, there's sure an anonymous post up on the network again!]

Some people need to stop wasting my time. I haven't been able to focus on writing for a while now. I'm not sure if this is any good but it's what I got out over the past few months. It's only recently that I've been able to get a lot more time again without needing to worry. Also, thinking of using those dollmaker things to help with visuals for characters. Thoughts? - keiyuki

P.S. I guess this is dedicated to someone I know who's not around anymore.

[Are they going to explain anything about that? Absolutely not. But there are the past chapters to look over for those interested in catching up on this dumb project of theirs.]

Okay, which one of you did it? I know it had to be someone.

[Was not aware he had made an enemy at some point to curse him like this.]

It's very funny [Not really actually. This is quite possibly the strongest insult to his moral demon code.] but just turn it back now, alright?!

((Somebody got two feathery problems and not the energy to deal with it.))
