---------------------

[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.

Oh, I thought it would be a lot worse. So it's just that he's stubborn and has that face?

[thevanguard]

And he's an asshole. And his temple is invisible. And he's just damn unreasonable!

[nopixiedust]

I've found his temple just fine, and I've out-stubborned him.

[Sort of. Listen, it's fine.]

Still, you have to admit that he's dedicated to his duties, right?

[thevanguard]

I mean, his temple looked like a great place to skateboard, until he got all pissed about it. How was I supposed to know it was his roof? It just looked like another damn hill!

Also he keeps threatening to sic his damn birds on me, that jerk.

.........He does have that face though. [ He grumps in annoyance, as if perfectly understanding her meaning. ]

I don't gotta admit anything except I'd prefer to find some other way to help rather than having to hang around that guy.

[nopixiedust]

He sicks his birds on everyone.

[Like Wendy's god.]

Anyway, you don't have any problems with Archer, do you?

[thevanguard]

Which is why he's a jerk.

[ He scratches his cheek, trying to put that name with a face. It doesn't sound familiar. ]

I don't think I know an Archer.

[nopixiedust]

Well, Archer is the other guy who's volunteered to help me with keeping everything secure, so if you still wanted to do something active, you could ask him instead!

[thevanguard]

Okay. If you need more help patrolling the place, I can seek him out. But the offer stands if you need supplies or errands run for anything in the place or the shinki staying there. I do a lot of that anyway for my god.

[nopixiedust]

That would be helpful too. When do you usually go do stuff for your god?

[thevanguard]

Ehh... Whenever he needs me to, really. Izumo runs a bar on the Near Shore, so I'm running errands over there for supplies and things a lot.

[nopixiedust]

Then, whenever I ask you to get something, you can just do it while you're getting stuff for Izumo. I don't think there's going to be anything that I'll need anybody to rush on.
