Heaven's BBS - Information for Shinki (and their gods)
Posted: Wednesday March 9th, 2016 13:05

[For all that Yukine might have been complaining about how many new shinki there are, how frequently they pop up, and how increasingly impossible it is to mentor the lot of them, that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been thinking about a better way to do this.
So when you, as a new shinki (or god), come to this link on Heaven’s BBS, you will find this carefully put together list of information.
(He took the time to put this all together. You darn well better take the time to read it all.)]
Here is some useful information for the new shinki. I think the gods can get something out of this too, so they should read it also.
● Get along well with your god, as much as possible.
If you are feeling upset or anxious, it will affect your god negatively.
If you do things under a guilty conscience, you will blight your god.
Being touched by ayakashi causes blight too, so don’t do that either.
Mild blight can be cured by cleansing water from a shrine.
A lot of blight can be fatal. Let’s not find out the hard way what happens to the new shinki when their god dies. And vice-versa.
● To start, change into your vessel form when your god calls your vessel name, and return to your normal form when called by your common name.
It will happen naturally but it might feel strange. It’s better to not resist the change. (If you resist it, you’ll grow a rabbit tail.)
You can’t choose your vessel form. So whatever you turn into, work together with your god to find out the best way to be used.
● Your task is basically to help your god in what they want to accomplish as far as granting prayers.
One shinki per god is the ‘exemplar’, and as the name implies they set a good example. Gods should listen to them in particular about how to do things.
● To level up your abilities, I recommend you learn how to make a borderline as soon as possible. It usually functions as a wall between you and whatever is on the other side.
It’s easier to practice against tiny ayakashi. But do it carefully- no matter how small they are they’ll still blight you.
The borderline can also cut, but it can’t kill ayakashi. Only a shinki wielded by a god can kill them.
That’s everything I have for now. A lot of it you’ll just figure out as you go along.
If you want to share a point for adding to this list, leave it in the comments.

BBS is pretty convenient, so even though 'all at once' is better, if you don't ask all at once it's fine.
[Geh- he kinda hates this question.]
Not all that long, although I'm not as new as the new shinki. But don't make the mistake of judging ability by length of time.
no subject
No of course not! I just wanted to know since you seemed like someone who knew what they were talking about.
[ Not that anyone's sounded dumb at the moment but it's good to know if someone's got experience or not. ]
Anyway. The rabbit thing isn't real, right?
no subject
And like I posted above, no, the rabbit thing's not real. I just wanted to see who was reading properly.
wow jfc I can spell I swear
That would just be terrible all around if we didn't know about transforming.
And not to be a bother or anything but is there anything like shinki 101 or something we can learn from?
no subject
Chill, Yukine, he's only the second one to ask.]What you see here is pretty much what you got. Other than that, if you see Kazuma-san around you should ask him if he's starting a class.
no subject
Kazuma-san
Got it.
One more question: Is it tough though? Being a shinki, I mean?
no subject
[LET HIM TELL YOU-!
(And if he says anything nice, you can bet anything Yato will see it and he'll never hear the end of it...)]
It depends a lot on your god, I think. My god is a loser that has sweaty palms (super-gross when you're a sword shinki), frequently stole all my money, took on lame jobs, kept his shady past from me, wouldn't trust me, and was generally horrible in at least a dozen other ways. Just looking at him made me want to kill things.
I don't think that a lot of shinki will have as tough a time as I did.
no subject
No offense.
[ Bless you for putting up with him, Yukine. ]
But if he's that much trouble, why do you stick with him?
Is this a sort of stuck together for life, deal?
If you don't mind my asking, of course. If you'd rather not, you don't have to answer.
no subject
[Thank you ;;,,, He tries so hard.]
Shinki and gods are not stuck together for life. If the god revokes the shinki's name they're free to go and be named by another god.
[And there is no further reply to this post here. People are welcome to think that he just didn't want to answer that other part.
But who has a heaven-provided contact list on his phone so that he can 'do his job' and contact the new gods and shinki? This kid.
So Eno will be getting a message to his phone to continue the conversation.]
