[trustheart]

From: Ishtar
When: March 5th [frontdated]

... So I went to sleep last night, and found myself home. Went through a whole couple months, a bunch of shit happened, and then I wake up here again after it's all over. Kinda feeling jerked around a bit, but what's happened has happened.

Anyway, I've been hearing prayers from people whose relationships are in trouble lately, and if this place is going to insist I be a love goddess, then I guess I'd better do something about it. Problem is, the soulless shinki this place assigned me and I haven't been getting on at all, and considering it's been a few months since I saw him from my perspective, I don't think it'd be a good idea to try and force it.

This isn't easy to admit, but if I'm gonna do this, I need help. Would anyone be willing to help me stake out the Tokyo Museum for a few nights? There's definitely ayakashi involved, so I definitely know I shouldn't go it alone.

[ Oh, don't you worry. The moment Minako catches even a hint of that, she will be all over it. ]

Those are some dangerous words to say to an expert like me.. <(￣︶￣)> That information won't stay hidden forever!

[trustheart]

Pfft. I'd like to see you try. I'm not exactly transparent.

[reloves]

We'll see! I'm bound to learn a lot of things about you if we're going to become good friends, right?

[ Which apparently Minako has decided is just an inevitable thing that's going to happen. ]

[trustheart]

... You really are just like my friend back home. I pray the two of you never meet.

[handsome_genius]

That's...

That's what I just said.

[ Isn't it? He's looking for a subtle distinction and he doesn't see it. ]

[trustheart]

... Yeah, sorry. I was just trying to express that I agreed with you and ended up just rephrasing it.

[ooc - I really should have put more thought into that last tag. That's my b, sorry.]

[smilingbullet]

[ "An armor that only a few people can use" should probably sound unlikely, but at this point, it's not a strange thought at all. ]

I see, then that would make fighting just about the only option. Yeah.. What's important to you then? Here, in particular.

[ Arrivals might cause changes of course, but one thing he would probably need to dig around about is loyalty to Amaterasu and the Heavens. ]

[handsome_genius]

[ OOC: You're fine, Yoon is also just abrasive as a character. ]

You don't have to apologize to me for that. I'm just a genius, so I figure these things out easily!

[trustheart]

[ooc - ah, hahahaha. I'm a bit canon blind.]

... You have a high opinion of yourself, don't you?

[trustheart]

... Right now? Keeping the peace, being a good God, and being there for my friends.

Beyond that I'm still figuring stuff out.

[smilingbullet]

That's admirable. [ What does "being a good god" mean to her? ]

And understandable. We all have a lot to figure out once in a while when we get here, too.

[trustheart]

That tends to happen when you're forcibly uprooted and given a new job, yeah.

[smilingbullet]

It certainly does that. Would you be willing to give me a chance to see if I can help any with that?

[trustheart]

Uh, depends. What are you offering to help with?

[handsome_genius]

Most people do. Or they should.

[trustheart]

Some people see the value in humility and think egotism is unattractive.

[handsome_genius]

Sounds like something a god can believe. They're already in a class above, so obviously they can pretend to be humble.

[trustheart]

Hey! This isn't a god or shinki thing! People see it this way normally!

[handsome_genius]

Oh forgive me for not remembering something like that! I am but a lowly shinki, after all.

[ Sarcasm dripping from his mouth. ]

Gods can be as bad as nobility, you know.

[trustheart]

... Don't put words in my mouth. I know gods can be arrogant. And I can also tell when someone's trying to get a rise out of me.

[handsome_genius]

Then don't let my words get a rise out of you, obviously.

[ This still over text but he's tempted to switch to voice. ]

You should've been more aware of your own words in this place. You talk about memories and normal behavior and expectations of how people act, and you're being rude to every single shinki here, at best. At worst, you'll make a shinki try to remember something too early, and they'll get hurt in the process as blight consumes their skin like a plague!

[trustheart]

If you're gonna tell other people they need to put more thought into how choose their words, then maybe you should take your own advice when someone says you have a problem with humility.

Voice

[handsome_genius]

I'm a shinki! I can't hurt people with my words like you gods can! I'm not like you. Humility is the least of my worries!

[trustheart]

... Did you seriously just change to voice to yell at me? Look pal, I don't want this. I'm not getting in a shouting match with you!

[As much as she wants to, she's got to be in a good state of mind for her mission. So she bites her own tongue, metaphorically.]

If you're mad I said that, I apologize. But I honestly don't think you're giving shinki enough credit, and I'm not going to fight with you about shinki and gods! I don't like having authority I didn't earn either, for the record, but it's also not something I asked for. I've been through way too much in my life, all of it at the hands of people who hurt and used me, to put up with that kind of talk!

I want to get along with everyone here, and I'll take your words to heart when I speak to people in the future, but this isn't going to be anymore of a scene!

[smilingbullet]

You said you needed more help than your soulless shinki. At this point I'm pretty good at finding out what powers I might have in vessel form, plus I have some experience in stakeouts and I'm decent at following orders.

[ Which is not the best sell, but he's not keen on telling random people he's got a fair bit of memories back and that he used to be a soldier. ]
