Heaven's BBS | ~Video~

From: Sousuke Yamazaki
When: Early October

[It’s rare that he posts to the BBS; Sousuke’s quiet nature and sometimes-over-focus kind of leads to that little problem. Content to dwell with his own life and his own small circle of friends and duties. But sometimes, the private life just doesn’t cut it. Especially when said private life is the entire reason for breaking his silence and going outside that small circle.

The video feed clicks on with a quiet sound, light blazing from the screen for a second until it adjusts to the scenery. It’s soon obvious he’s alone. Considering the presence of a black jacket barely resting at the peripheral of the video’s frame, it’s likely he’s holding the screen to his side. Deliberately not pointing the feed at himself. Instead, there’s a lovely shot of a quiet patch of natural garden, complete with trickling spring, breezing of clear air, and the ever-present drizzle of pink sakura petals from the surrounding grove Eros’ castle temple is renowned for.


There’s a moment of silence, semi-awkward on his end, before Sousuke finally outs with it. His tone’s calm, musing.]


Can a god and a shinki be more than god and shinki? [A measure before adding in a lower voice.] Or will it make problems between them?

[Yeah, it’s vague, he knows. The nature of god and shinki is a complex relationship. But Sousuke’s not honest enough with his softer emotions and being open to other people to outright ask the serious/embarrassing question:

What happens if you find yourself attracted to your own god?]
onehandsomeslickninja: (eh heh)

A god and a shinki? Or a god and their shinki?
onehandsomeslickninja: (ha ninja something!)

[personal profile] onehandsomeslickninja 2018-02-02 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Then absolutely go for it! Why let a little thing like different terms get in the way, so long as the feelings are there? I'd date a god in a heartbeat! If she ever feels better.
onehandsomeslickninja: (i got this)

[personal profile] onehandsomeslickninja 2018-02-02 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[That interpretation is the absolute obvious one (to a shinki who is attempting to date a god)!]

Maybe if they were gods from the start, but they're just people who have gotten the position. If I hadn't died I might be a god myself instead of a shinki. Beyond that, really, what's the difference? I transform, my god uses me as a weapon, but it still takes both of us to Rend an ayakashi, and after that's done who cares which of us is which?
onehandsomeslickninja: (what?!)

[personal profile] onehandsomeslickninja 2018-02-02 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought we weren't talking about 'their' shinki though. [He'd asked for cause, after all!]
onehandsomeslickninja: (turned away cool)

[personal profile] onehandsomeslickninja 2018-02-02 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
So you'd be worried about bothering your god with your feelings for this other god?

I hear the negative ones are a lot stronger than the positive, but I guess relationships still have their ups and downs anyway.

[Ah yes, he recognizes you enough. Might as well help.]

So long as they don't have previous memories of you, I can't see why it would be a problem.

[He'd teach you other things but he's been banned.]

As I'm sure you know, a god revealing something to a shinki that they shouldn't know causes horrible mistakes.

If your god knew you from home or before, getting so close to them might cause them to reveal something they shouldn't.
onehandsomeslickninja: (eh heh)

It might go back to my god, but they wouldn't bother her directly like that, I don't think.

Probably ought to mention that to him at some point, come to think of it...

But really, that's the sort of thing you just have to talk about and be aware of. Just be open and discuss it properly. That way no one's surprised, and everyone knows what they're getting into.

[Souji has been here before, so he just smiles and leans his chin in his hands.]

I've thought about it before. A lot of people seem to think it's inappropriate and might make troubles for the god in question, because the Heavens don't approve.

[He shrugs lightly.]

But in the end, a god is still a god and can do as they like, right? And if my god cares about me in that way, I don't see why I should reject him.

[Souji making things sound more problematic than they actually are by accident. Must be Tuesday.]
onehandsomeslickninja: (down to business)

[personal profile] onehandsomeslickninja 2018-02-02 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. Then that's a little complicated. Sometimes relationships mean you have to hurt someone else, and that's harder when you will feel it directly.

But again, if you're mature and responsible, you can work with that. It's all about what you're prepared to accept. If you can accept that there will be difficulties and troubles, or that things in the relationship won't be normal, then you can get through it. And you should try, I think! Because otherwise, you might be missing out on something great! SomeONE great!
spes_phthisica: by nique (There's only you and me)

[personal profile] spes_phthisica 2018-02-02 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I'd guess it's because it could complicate your relationship, and the Heavens understandably care about your ability to fulfill your duty.

[Really, he's not mad about that. He's just going to accept that the Heavens and his god might have different priorities at times.]

It's true that we do. But concealing and fighting the feelings we have could cause trouble for our gods, isn't that so? I kept stinging my god quite a bit, when I thought I could still hide my feelings from him.
onehandsomeslickninja: (cold look)

[personal profile] onehandsomeslickninja 2018-02-02 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Edge, secretly, is more of a mature adult than he lets on. Please tell no one, it would ruin his image.]

Whoa, hold on there. 'I don't want to cause him more trouble' is just an excuse. If you want to be fair to someone, you give them the choice. You don't decide for them what would or wouldn't be trouble to them.
onehandsomeslickninja: (turned away cool)

[personal profile] onehandsomeslickninja 2018-02-02 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe, but some things make it important and count for a lot more there. God-shinki bonds are one. Romance is another. The moment you start choosing for someone else, you're being selfish even if you think it's selfless!
