Is it normal for items to just 'show up'? When I woke up this morning there was a sword in my bed--stabbed through my bed next to my face. I'm fairly certain it's not my god's or his other shinki's.

... if you misplaced a sword in Ler's temple, I'd like to know why it had to be next to my face while I was sleeping.

Yes.

Imagine waking up to a horse in your room.

text

[lightninglobster]

I would rather not. The sword was unwelcome enough.

Did it cause problems during the 'extraction process'?

text

[nolittlesecret]

Not really. Argo's a good horse and walked out when I told him to.

Someone out there either really doesn't like you, or really does and has a weird way of expressing it.

Actually, I've heard stories about weird things ending up here occasionally, so I guess the aforementioned is irrelevant.

text

[lightninglobster]

Both of those options are less than ideal. I'd prefer direct contact.

While that's an easier answer, it does seem a bit too convenient.

[ You've made him worry, tyvm. ]

[That... that tends to happen.]

Maybe, but this place isn't exactly without a lot of very strange occurrences.

[Goku's made an effort with texting since he got here but he's had enough complaints about his spelling that he just cannot be bothered anymore. Ryoma gets an audio response.]

... You mean like someone tried to stab ya, missed and was too lazy to try again? [Well, he's seen weirder, half-hearted murder attempts.] Man, you got lucky, huh?

[ Ryoma is approximately 90 years old on the spiritual plain; you're lucky he's figured out how to do text. Picture and Video are not yet in his wheelhouse. ]

That seems... highly implausible, and also mildly concerning. I'm not very interested in leaving things up to luck.

[UGH FINE he'll text back. Ryoma asked for this.]

u need to lock ur door i think and ur window
its easier when youre sharing a room with someone i think
then you wake up
or get better at punchin in ur sleep

[Has someone tried to murder Goku in his sleep before? Has someone tried to do it multiple times? Is it a common occurrence in his life? Not important, we're talking about Ryoma now.]

It does happen from time to time though who does it and why is beyond me
Heaven might be responsible
You wouldn't happen to know how to use a sword, would you?

text;

[lightninglobster]

That's somewhat heartening to hear, though I'd still think it'd be less of a gesture to leave the sword laying out and in its sheathe.

[ Ryoma's going to write a strongly-worded letter to somebody, at this rate. ]

I seem to be fairly adept at them, yes.

[papillonprincess]

They think its cute
At least that's what I've gathered.
That's convenient though, isn't it? At least now you've got something to protect yourself with should the need arise.

[hakingitup]

No, I don't have a sword here. And if I did, I wouldn't stab it through your pillow.

Text

[lightninglobster]

[ He was hoping not. Than again, Ryoma has been kind of frustrating these past few days. ]

Are you at the temple? I'd like you to look at it, if you don't mind.

Text

[hakingitup]

I'll be back in a moment. I can't promise I'll know anything.

That's...interesting. A week or two ago, we found a sword stabbed in the roof of Caireen's temple, scabbard nearby. Neither my Goddess or myself know why it was there, although she seems to think it's 'mine'. I don't have enough memories to tell one way or another.

It also showed up overnight, as far as either of us is aware.

[ The sword fairy needs to cut their bullshit and learn how to deliver swords to good little warriors in a less threatening fashion. ]

I wonder if it might be a sign of something--perhaps a threat from the Heavens' unknown assailant? Though this seems to be a bit particular to be something as broad as that.

[trapperkeeper]

That's nothing dude.
You should see what I found in my shoe one morning.

[lightninglobster]

[ what the hell is a dude ]

On one hand, I'd like to leave it there. On the other, you've piqued my curiosity. What was it that you found?

text

[monkeyblue]

It happens all the time. Memories too.

[lightninglobster]

[ Well that's good for a certain amount of good, this happens--wait what. ]

Wait, what? Memories can return unprompted?

[corvidiocy]

Trust me. It ain't me. You'd know if it was me.

[lightninglobster]

Well, that's... heartening.

[ Remind Ryoma to lock his door at night, Google. ]

It's a little unpredictable concerning when they show up and where, but yes, it's been known to happen. I got back a pillow a friend of mine from home sewed for me once.

[spes_phthisica]

i got a pig!!!
he was in our bed too
maybe thats just how the heavens like to deliver their gifts
