Name: Wendy
Date: December 14th

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

[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.

"Do people judge you much for being a Nora," asks Martin? [Snake has questions for Reasons he's not sure he's ready to share with a complete stranger. Then again, this is the Wendy that Marinette has mentioned a few times. Or at least he assumes she is. She's posting about the sanctuary that they helped get Suzaku to.]

[ Yata responds to this with a hint of a surprise on his face now as he listens. ]

Whoa! We have something like this? Damn, this woulda been useful a few months ago. I didn't even realize.

But good to know now, I guess.

[nopixiedust]

Now we do. I made an announcement a while ago, but I thought some people might not have remembered. Besides, we're getting new people all the time, right?

[nopixiedust]

[Oh, new face... Good, it means her message is getting out there.]

Well, I haven't found anyone in our group of gods and shinki who've really judged much. The older gods and shinki might, but, if your names are in places that aren't easily seen, then it's not likely to come up anyway.

So be honest, there's really no reason for a god to be against nora except for them being all possessive and treating their shinki like property, right?

[Nia may be coming into this question with an agenda, subtle as it might be.]

Do you need any help maintaining the sanctuary? Or donations or anything?

[Ah so this is Wendy. He's heard quite a bit about her.] Hello Wendy, I've been meaning to contact you to thank you for setting up such a helpful place. I stayed there for a few days when my last god disappeared.

Please let me know if you or the sanctuary need any assistance with anything.

[nopixiedust]

Oh, I thought I saw someone around! Well, it's no problem. It's what it's there for.

Spreading the word around would mostly be fine. I already have some people who patrol around here to make sure it stays safe, and we get things from Amaterasu.

[nopixiedust]

Archer and Shun have been looking around for security but if ou want to help out there's always stuff to do

like organizing things and helping it stay clean!

[unlucky7]

[Of course Archer and Shun help with security. Of course.]

I don't mind cleaning and organizing. I'll try to swing by a few times every week.

[nopixiedust]

I mean, it's not like I've talked about it with a lot of different gods yet or anything... The old gods are weird, honestly.

[So, you know.]

[sassywelshcatgirl]

So how 'bout a new one, then? [Because that's the one she has in mind, from what she's heard. Not that she's here to name names...]

Matchmaking?

[It came out of nowhere in all the shinki and nora talk]

Are there a lot of people who are interested in that kind of thing?

[swordofzero]

Of course I will spread the word. Please let me know if you need any one else to patrol. [If she's got people that's good but as the whole reason for the sanctuary is that people disappear all the time it is a good thing to have others if those that guard it are no longer there.]

[nopixiedust]

Sure. If you want to know more about it and the kind of places that are around the Sanctuary, you could go talk to Shun or Archer. They're the ones that have been helping me, and they're both really reliable.

[nopixiedust]

Not too much, yet. A lot of the shinki who wind up here end up finding new gods on their own, it looks like... usually people they know.

Still, it's good to have, don't you think?

[nopixiedust]

Well... [Let her think about this.] Most new gods seem pretty fine with shinki, I hear, so I guess, yeah, that would be the case.

[nopixiedust]

Great! we mostly give some things to the regular people who help take care of the teple since they don't know they're kind of hosting a bunch of runaway dead people

it's only fair

[deathmetalist]

So it's not like relationships, right? Just Shinki and God relationships? Ahaha For a minute I thought you meant romantic connections.

[To be honest she thinks it's good that there is a service that can help shinki find gods if they don't have one.]

It's dangerous without a god right?

[sassywelshcatgirl]

I mean honestly, if I needed to save someone's life and the only way to do that was to get a name from them, what kind of god would say 'no'? [Nia takes Wendy's agreement as a right to vent more, apparently.]

[nopixiedust]

Yeah....

[Okay, she has to ask-]

Do you have something you need to get off your chest about someone?

[sassywelshcatgirl]

Naw. Just something someone said in my presence got me wondering how anyone could treat their shinki like that. [She pauses for a moment.] No, that's not what I mean -- I know how, and why. Just... so many shinki seem happy around here, but there's gods doing that.

[nopixiedust]

Well... A lot of people are lucky. But there are also people who aren't. So you have to be careful, right?

What'd they say to you, anyway?

[sassywelshcatgirl]

Just what I said. Their god doesn't approve of nora. And they're someone that seemed real happy with where they are too.

Creeped me out.

[nopixiedust]

[Give... her a second... But god that doesn't approve of nora, and a happy shinki...]

...Do you think they could have been dating?

[What do you mean she doesn't even know who's involved-]
