[Video] Whatever lies beyond this morning

Hi everyone - [ Wave! ] This is actually mostly a question for the shinki... but I think I want to include the gods that might remember their time as shinki as well!

As the new year approaches, a friend and I were talking about how I'd been here in the Far Shore for seven months now, and I was pretty sure- [ She gestures with a finger waggle. ] That a few of you have been here longer. The exemplar of my temple definitely has, and a few of my friends as well, but maybe a few of you I haven't met yet also have been here awhile?

If you're okay with telling me, I'm curious to know! And maybe as a New Year's thing... hmmm...

[ She clasps her hands in front of her. ] Oh, I know! Whether you're god or shinki, do you have a favorite memory from this last year? Let's remember the good times together!

[As a newbie approaching two and a half months, there's not much to say on the first question. But for the second... well, Ginia has some thoughts on good memories.

It's also video for once because it's good signing practice for Kairi and the very wiggly, attention-seeking white puppy in her lap makes typing difficult.]

Does becoming part of my current temple count or is that too broad?

[ Kairi shakes her head, then signs back while also speaking. ]

No, I think that's a great memory! There's quite a few of you there, right? I know how warm that can feel, G-I-N-I-A.

[unlucky7]

Four of us. Caster, Archer, Lancer, and me. Plus four dogs and a pack of wolves in the forest.

[She pauses and laughs softly.]

And Archer cooks for a ton of people so there are always visitors.

[pure_radiantics]

[ As nice and cozy as her temple used to be. She's all smiles. ]

Does he cook for a ton of people hoping for visitors? Or does he cook a lot and you invite people over to make sure it gets eaten?

[ She chuckles. ]

[unlucky7]

I'm not sure how it really started, but Archer always cooks really nice lunch boxes everyday and there are always regulars that come by to pick them up or hang out to eat. I think he cooks more in case new people come by too.

[Ginia leans in, playfully glancing from side to side, keeping her signs small and secretive, as if she wasn't commenting on the network where everyone can see.]

I think Archer really enjoys cooking and seeing people happy. He's really sweet like that.

[pure_radiantics]

I don't know him that well, but that seems very possible to me!

[ She grins back. ]

I guess that means it'd be possible to swing by myself to say hi at least once.

[unlucky7]

You should!

[On her lap, Lucky gives a few barks in agreements, nearly falling over as she tries to lick Ginia's face. Ginia laughs and scratches the puppy's ears before gently nudging her down.]

He makes really cute lunch boxes. Animals, flowers, they're really decorative and nice to look at. Sometimes I feel bad for eating them with how good they look.

[pure_radiantics]

Makes them cute... like arranges them by color to look like flowers?

[ She's not familiar with all of the ways that food can be ornamental as much as delicious. ]

[unlucky7]

Hold on, I'll find a picture!

[Ginia leans out of the frame for a moment, restrightening with her phone in hand. She spends a few seconds looking through her phone gallery before holding up her phone and showing a picture of cute cats made out of rice.]

[pure_radiantics]

Oh my gosh, that's so adorable! I bet kids like Nanako and Goten just love that kind of thing!

[unlucky7]

We don't get a lot of kids by the temple, but the teens and adults definitely do.

[Ginia sneaks another peek at the picture and smiles again.]

His cooking is as delicious as it looks too. I don't think there's anyone that's had his cooking that didn't like it. I think I'm getting spoiled eating his cooking everyday.

[She pauses, her smile softening.]

I'm lucky to have him in my life. Him and Caster.

[pure_radiantics]

[ Kairi smiles back. ]

I'm happy for you, Ginia.

[ And as happy as she is for her friend... ]

I feel like I should still ask... is it that kids really shouldn't come by the temple because it's scary or something like that? Or you just don't know Nanako and Goten that well?

[unlucky7]

[Ginia blinks at the question, hand coming to her chin before she rapidly shakes her head.]

No, not at all! Everyone is welcome at the temple. I haven't met Nanako or Goten at all, though I've heard their names in passing. It's also possible they do come by and I've missed them. Or Archer delivers lunches to them.

[She smiles sheepishly.]

[pure_radiantics]

Oh! Well then, I hope you do get to meet them. They're both very sweet, just young - Nanako might be 9 or 10 and Goten is much younger. I'd guess no older than 7, but maybe 6.

[ Especially as he's been in the Far Shore a few months now. ]

Nanako is a goddess and Goten is a shinki.
