[cloakedinruins]

From: Xuanwu
Date: February 26

My new shinki woke up grumpy this morning. He may also be planning on sneaking in where he shouldn't be. I'm both apologizing in advance, and sharing an image of his current appearance just in case:



He likes dried fish, large pillows, and ear scratches. Be wary of touching his tail or his belly, and especially do not offend him by claiming that he is an inferior creature. I will not be held responsible for the damages he will cause.

It's not from a lack in trying, I can assure you. Some of the information I wish to know is not open to newcomers like myself.

I'm Shen Wei, professor of Bio-engineering, and you are..?

[trustheart]

Chris Yukine. Nice t'meet you Shen Wei. Heh, it's weird. A while ago I'd be nervous to even give my name out, and call someone by theirs.

[cloakedinruins]

Nice to meet you as well.

It is odd, but I suppose they don't care as long as we do our duties. Whatever they may be.

[trustheart]

Answer prayers. Honestly, we seem less like gods and more like public servants.

[cloakedinruins]

If you look at why we do that, it's more of a mutually benefiting system. We answer the prayers, the more they are answered, the better our temples and pay becomes, and so on.

[trustheart]

I guess. It just seems to take some of the mystique out of being a deity.

[cloakedinruins]

I never thought of them ever having any mystique, but that could be because of too much studying.

[trustheart]

I guess I can see that.

[cloakedinruins]

[ Well, that and the fact that he is practically one already if people were to believe the tales surrounding him among his people. ]

Honestly though, it is just another job with a bit more shine to it.

[trustheart]

Well, it's kind of a lateral move for me, and it comes without having all my friends, school, or favorite restaurants. But. I'll try to make the best of it.
