[Wendy has set up her camera carefully on a desk somewhere within Hibiki's very fancy and nice temple, which means her backdrop is a super plush chair and elegant curtain. She herself is dressed up in one of her nicer dresses (which is a lot of them), and looks seriously into the camera.]

We've gotten some new shinki and gods since I made my initial post, but I want to take this time to remind everyone of the Shinki Sanctuary. For shinki who've lost their gods suddenly and are without a home, you're more than welcome to come stay there. It's modest, but it does the job, and it gives you the benefit of not having to be pressured into joining with another god right away.

The Sanctuary also offers a matchmaking service! This is available to everyone, shinki and god alike, no matter if you're already working with someone. We need more people to sign up, so drop by and fill out some paperwork whenever you can! We make sure that gods and shinki have a chance at getting to know each other before anyone is named, so you don't have to worry about that. And if a god names a shinki without their permission...

[Have you ever seen a pre-adolescent girl look like she'd coolly shank you in a dark alleyway and kick your body into a river? Now you have.]

We'll handle it.

But here's something I'm not sure a lot of shinki know- you can be named by more than one god! The only people who really seem to care are the old gods, and, honestly, it's not like they really interact with us anyway, so it doesn't matter.

[They don't even communicate themselves on the BBS. Trust her. She's asked.]

I'm a nora myself, so, if anyone has any questions about that kind of thing, feel free to ask them! I want to help people know all their options.

Nope! People seem to get romantic with each other pretty easily around here, so that's something, at least.

[Unless one is Edge, who sucks at it, apparently.]

And yeah. Shinki can't do anything if they don't have a name to them, like make borderlines, and ayakashi want to eat us as it is.... So it's better to be careful.

It seems like an unfair system somehow. The afterlife isn't exactly like a normal afterlife. I mean, what happens if a shinki is eaten?

[nopixiedust]

I mean... I guess they just... stop existing?

[A death beyond death? It's a little over her head, this kind of thing.]

It's not like there's a person around who can tell us.

[deathmetalist]

T-That's a terrifying thought. . .

[nopixiedust]

Right? That's part of why I made the Sanctuary.

[deathmetalist]

This really doesn't seem like an afterlife. I feel like we were all ripped off somehow. It's really unfair, isn't it?

[nopixiedust]

I guess so... but look on the bright side. Things can always be worse. For the most part, this is really just like living a second life again, minus monster hunting and stuff like that!

And we're all watching each other's backs, too. So try to think about it that way.

[deathmetalist]

I guess that's true.

I've met a number of good people since my arrival, and I wouldn't want to forget or lose them.

[nopixiedust]

There you go~. Everyone is pretty strong, too, or knows a lot and passes it around... So even the danger isn't too bad.
