So first of all, morbid question here! It's a shinki question.

Since we're all dead what happens if we die again? That is, something happens to us that would, without a doubt, kill someone who wasn't already dead? I'm new and it came up while I was talking to a god that they didn't know what actually happens in that situation, and I think it would be better to know now just in case.

Thanks!

You just come back the same as before, still stuck in this shitty cycle.

Apparently.

[He's a little bitter.]

[dragon_blossom]

Is this from personal experience?

[disciplineking]

Obviously.

I don't remember anything else so if you ask me, I will bite you to death. It's not going to happen again.

[killsthebuddha]

That's not a "shinki" question.

The differences between "shinki" and "gods" are superficial, and our "death" has nothing to do with our mortality. Despite being bound like this, we bleed, our bones can be broken, and we can die. The power that caught us up in this might bring you back as you were, but there's no guarantee.

[dragon_blossom]

Well I guess that's all good to know. I suppose I wasn't clear on a lot of things.

[killsthebuddha]

You wouldn't be. This has been going on long enough that there's no excuse for it, but souls bound as shinki are considered nothing but property.

We can die again?
That's so scary!
If a ghost dies do they just disappear forever?

[jocularly]

I've been wonderin' about that myself. Did ye get a good answer?

Or, in this case, I suppose, a bad one?

[dragon_blossom]

It sounds like we just stick around and mostly it just really sucks.

[jocularly]

I'd rather it be boring than tragic.

hope this is okay, didn't want to threadhop w/o permission c:

[spes_phthisica]

im sorry i read your conversation with someone else
but no matter what youre told
you really really really really shouldnt have more than one god

[Souji is literally as new as she is, and he has no idea why, but the very idea sickens him.]

the bond between you and your god is something special
they can feel whats in your heart after all
if you share that bond with more than one how will you know who to be loyal to
will you even be able to choose if all have a name for you

[dragon_blossom]

It does sound a little weird. I like my god a lot.

You have a point too it's like idk marriage?

[spes_phthisica]

(*ﾟｰﾟ)ゞ well maybe not exactly like marriage
it goes deeper than that

[There's no baby making involved? And it's not very political. That's the definition of marriage left to him by a more practical time, even if he can't remember it.]

and what if two gods would fall out and fight
what if one used your vessel to hurt the other

[toremainbehind]

That is a good question to ask.

Though, I doubt it's entirely a "shinki" question. If someone does provide you answers, though, please share.

[dragon_blossom]

I don't plan on letting my god find out what happens to them the hard way.

[toremainbehind]

Neither do I.

I don't see the point of bringing us here if dying is still possible.

[shiitan]

are you planning on dying?

[dragon_blossom]

Been there done that.

[shiitan]

focus on living as you are now if that's how you feel about it

[chickshades]

we can die more than once??

[dragon_blossom]

That is what I am trying to figure out.

[chickshades]

that doesnt make any sense!
whats the point of dying the first time then!
we couldve stayed back home!

[cursedblood]

Better to avoid finding out.

[dragon_blossom]

Well obviously but I'd rather know than not.

[cursedblood]

Obviously.

For what it's worth, they tasked me as a God of Death. I haven't the faintest idea.
