well i learned the first thing the hard way but for the second i dont think anyone cna know that

you are what you accept allow and decide to be. if you decide your a monster then thats what youll be. if you decide your something else like someone who can be there for others then thats it. anything past that doesnt really matter

[ Not that he's sure what he wrote came out the way he meant to write it. Shizuo knew he was never good with words, especially when writing them. ]

anon forever

[erogappa]

thanks that's really deep ann but i was talking more about what gods and shinki are, like are we spirits or are we created bodies with spirits in them or what.

[bartenderizing]

its an not ann and thats not my name. its shizuo. i dont know how to change it to stop the confusion.

but thats whats past the stuff i said before so it doesnt matter. unless theirs some reason it matters like some power only affecting loose spirits or whatever.

[erogappa]

shizuo?

you came back?

[bartenderizing]

i guess from what everyone else says

sorry. it seems like i died so i dont know who you are anymore. or who anyone is really. its not personal.

[erogappa]

do you remember anything? how did you die? was there anyone else in the dead place with you?

[bartenderizing]

the dead place?

i dont remember anything from when i was a shinki. just my life.

[erogappa]

how long ago did you come back? somebody else disappeared at the same time you did, somebody i want back.

[bartenderizing]

i didnt disappear i died and came to life a god

and back in october
howd you even know i was gone?

[erogappa]

i looked for you. we had a mutual friend, one who hasn't come back yet. so i'm going to be nosy about where you have been, sorry.

[bartenderizing]

you did? huh

id say i would tell you if i start remembering but i have no clue who you are

[erogappa]

it's okay. i think it's better for everyone if you don't remember me. we weren't exactly friends.

but is there anything else you remember about disappearing or coming back?

[bartenderizing]

thats not unusual. as long as you havent tried to kill me i guess

[ 'Friend' is a word he rarely uses for the people in his life. Even if, under normal definitions, he'd have quite a few. ]

we only knew i died and came back to life as a god because i still have some scar on my stomach. otherwise id insist that ive always been in ikebukuro before waking up here

[erogappa]

is it a big rough scar like somebody tried to gut you?

[bartenderizing]

yeah kinda.

wait
did you try to gut me?

[ Is that how you know about the scar, mystery person? Given that he'll never know who you are, it's safe to tell the truth. ]

[erogappa]

it wasn't me asshole! it was Grell Sutcliff. she went after you with a chainsaw because she's crazy.

[bartenderizing]

i was just asking not accusing. its not the weirdest thing that people have done.

chainsaw though? huh. surprised it went through enough to make such a big scar

[ So big it's on the other side of him from the chainsaw going all the way through. Not that he knows about that. ]

[erogappa]

what's weirder than getting a chainsaw through your guts?

[bartenderizing]

a horde of people possessed by a demon?
or i guess the kid that hit me with a taser because someone convinced her i was an assassin

[ Or the guy that stabbed him through the hand with a pen- none of these led to scars, though. ]

[erogappa]

oh right you had the whole town of red eyed people trying to hit on you. that sounded pretty weird.

[bartenderizing]

i told you about that?

[ Sounds like it's not that bad between them. ]

but yeah i guess im just from a kind of city where chainsaws dont sound that weird
