From: Judar Date: January 21st, 1:13am So there's some kind of sorcery in the Far Shore that involves controlling ayakashi. Some of the old gods were forced to reincarnate because of the whole thing and shinki were executed. None of the names have been written down though. Anyone know more about it? ... Adding onto this Like, is the way of 'control' the way that they define controlling shinki? Which is just transforming and having power, but exact control isn't a thing. That's just by giving a spirit a name though, right? Now I'm wondering if shinki can give shinki names. Can the rend spell still work like that, if it's possible? Can a shinki name an ayakashi? How does one factor the corruption? Touching them causes blight when we fight them, so what if you had that kind of connection? Sounds like you'd have to constantly stay in a bath of holy water or something. Unless there's a medicine that's meant to deal with blight from shinki and everything, to delay ablutions and other extreme measures?

The hell are you doing? Reincarnation for a god is basically killing them, from what I heard, and they forced that on people who were fucking around with this stuff before. You trying to get me killed? 'Cause if you do shit they don't like, you're technically my responsibility.

If I do shit they don't like, cut me loose. You don't need to take responsibility for something like that.

I'm not expressing interest in anything but the 'shinki naming shinki' aspect, though. If his description's accurate that's the one least likely to be involved with any forbidden sorcery.

If how this all works is the way I think, it also shouldn't even function, but wouldn't it be interesting if it did?

Or you could just go anon and not be a dumbass about it. The heavens are apparently full of incompetent idiots with stupid bullshit rules who just dispose of people when they're inconvenient, so it's not like I fucking care if you don't want to play nice 'cause fuck that and fuck them. But at least be smart enough not to get caught. Maybe you don't give a shit what happens to you, but I'm supposed to look after you, so if I just let you get yourself killed that makes me a garbage god. And if I'm gonna be a god, I'm gonna be the best god in the heavens, so I'm not gonna let you get killed.

And if I'm gonna be better than the old gods and actually protect my shinki, that means I'm not gonna be a coward and just ditch you if you fuck up.

What the fuck, that was actually touching.

I'm using my name because if anyone else is watching this and not chiming in, it gives them a chance to reach out in private. No such luck yet, incidentally, but I thought it was worth the risk given I'm not supporting the lines of inquiry most likely to get this guy hung.

That said, I'll touch base with you on risk tolerance before I put myself out there next time.

Tch. I'd look like a fucking idiot if I couldn't even keep a shinki alive for a week. Some people can't even kill houseplants that fast.

[This is blatantly tsun.]

Just don't forget that the risks you take affect both of us, and that you're not allowed to just get yourself killed without me having something to say about it.

I can outfight a philodendron any day.

But noted.
