[Why does it have to be this shitty god name..... he'll privately resent that. Anyway.]

I'm doing myself a favor and doubling down on that spring cleaning business. Anybody who's got a use for any of this stuff, it's yours, free of charge. Courtesy of yours truly.

There's more where all that came from. Come on down and I'll even wrap it for you.

[No he won't, but he'll happily give you free expensive stuff and/or free weird novelty items. Free him, his temple is full of this.]

And another thing, while I've got the floor, more or less: the markings that turn up on shinki, what's the meaning of that? Don't lecture me on the basics, my skull ain't that thick, but is there a particular reason they turn up in the places they do? Something to do with the name you give, maybe?

What the hell is that third one supposed to be? [An ugly misshapen bird bath with legs...?]

[churchbelle]

[Yes. Yes it is.]

It's a birdbath, from my understanding. Though I reckon you could make a fine table out of it if you put something on top.

[subtract]

A fine table if you have no taste. Good luck convincing some idiot to take that off your hands.

As for your question about shinki names, I haven't noticed any particular pattern but it's not something that seems all that important anyway. The name serves the same purpose no matter where it appears on the body. Is there a reason why you're asking this?

[churchbelle]

I'm fine leaving it at the bottom of a ravine if I must. Desperate times, y'know.

And I was just curious if there was a meaning to where it happened to turn up. Are you a shinki, by any chance? Where's yours, if you've got one?

[subtract]

That may be for the best. For something that ugly, the world would be a better place without it, kek.

On my chest. Did something about your shinki's name lead you to believe its location might have a meaning?

[churchbelle]

Pardon, what the hell's a kek? Did you just do your own sound effects?

Nothing like that, though. This is just innocent curiosity. [no... it's not, but.]

[subtract]

Forget it. [why does everyone make fun of his perfectly normal laugh?????? you people are all so rude.]

Curiosity is fine, but without an underlying theory there isn't much point to it. You should at least have some idea of what the possible explanations could be before trying to look for connections. Otherwise you'll just be wasting your time with baseless guesses.

[churchbelle]

[Who types out a laugh?? That's odd.]

Didn't I say as much in the first place? I thought it might have to do with the name that's picked.

[subtract]

Then give me an example. Do you have a shinki name that matches the name's location? In what way?

[churchbelle]

Well, I'm not fool enough tell you his name. But let's say someone names his shinki after "thoughtful," do you reckon it's more likely to show up on his head than his foot?

[subtract]

If that were a real example, perhaps, but unless there actually is a shinki named "thoughtful" with a name on their head that doesn't prove anything at all.

[churchbelle]

It's similar to that. Use your imagination.

[subtract]

There could be multiple interpretation to the same name and location, so that doesn't tell me much. But if it's something that literal, maybe. You'd need to find another example that supports the theory of the first.

[churchbelle]

I'll go around getting shinki to let me slap a name on them, shall I? Surely there's a simpler way to go about it.

Skip your snide remarks, if you've got more. I'm just thinking out loud.

[subtract]

Shinki with multiple gods seem to be getting more popular lately, so that might not be a bad idea actually. You could always revoke the name after if you don't want to deal with it.

Oh? But what if I'm just thinking out loud as well?

[churchbelle]

Ain't that tasteless? It's tacky at best.

[He might not like the whole system, but for some reason he feels very strong agreement with noras being lowbrow... Okay Hazel.]

[subtract]

But it would be a simple and effective way to get the information you want. You could even use different names on the same test subject to see if the location depends on the individual or the name choice or a combination of both.

[churchbelle]

Tacky, at best. Maybe your god's interested in doing it.

[subtract]

He's not the one asking about it.

You had a question, I gave you a way to answer it. You could at least try to be a little more grateful.

[churchbelle]

If I liked the idea, I might've been.

[subtract]

So picky. Fine then, good luck with finding a better solution. Do share your findings if you discover anything useful.

[churchbelle]

Sure thing. Who'm I looking to find again if I've got something to share?

[subtract]

Add.

I'll keep your theory in mind if I happen upon any other shinki's names.

[churchbelle]

Thank you kindly. I'm Hazel.

[subtract]

Noted.
