So, uh... having more than one god. How's that all work? Do they get joint custody, and the shinki just lives at each god's temple for a week at a time or something?

'Cause that mighta happened.

That makes sense. I'd just hate to feel like I'm playin' favorites, y'know? They're all real nice girls.

[doestheickyjobs]

Ooh, lucky guy. Are they cute, too?

You've just got two, so it shouldn't be that hard to figure out something that works for everybody.

[very_goodman]

Three of 'em, actually. And I guess so, yeah. But true angels only exist in the world of 2D!

[doestheickyjobs]

My mistake. You're moving pretty fast, huh!

[Not that he's one to talk....]

What world's that?

[Because this has got to be a world he's never heard of, right? It can't possibly be that this guy's saying the only really pretty girls are in pictures. That's weird.]

[very_goodman]

Well, some stuff happened. You know how it is.

[He assumes, anyway.]

You know! Anime girls! They're way beyond anything the real world can offer!

[doestheickyjobs]

You're actually serious? You're talking, like, pictures, right?

You know what, I'm voting real girls over that.

[very_goodman]

Animation! Moving, talking pictures! And yeah, I guess it's not for everybody. To each their own.

[doestheickyjobs]

Yeah, I guess! Enjoy your animation. So who are your gods now, anyway? You said three of them, right?

[very_goodman]

Mielikki, Kanzeon, and Euterpe. They're all pretty great so far.

[doestheickyjobs]

Oh hey, that's Sheryl, and the one girl who wrestles bears, right?

And I've got no clue who Kanzeon is. Haven't met her.

[very_goodman]

Yep, that's them. And Kanzeon is that Sanzang girl. Y'know, the one with the long sleeves that likes typing in emoji all the time?

[doestheickyjobs]

Oh, her. We haven't talked, but I've seen her around on the network a time or two.

So, you getting along with them all? No problems?

[very_goodman]

So far, yeah. It's only been a couple days, though.

[doestheickyjobs]

Whoa, you really do work fast!

So were you saving them from ayakashi or something? Or did you just figure you wanted the options?

[How do other strays usually work this out?]

[very_goodman]

Yeah, they were in a bind so I bailed 'em out. It was in the middle of that whole Susano'o thing.

[doestheickyjobs]

That's nice of you. Especially with all the trouble going around then. I was hopping protecting the gods I already had.

[very_goodman]

Yeah? How many you got?

[doestheickyjobs]

Five.

[very_goodman]

Damn, you've been busy!

[doestheickyjobs]

I've been here longer than you have!

[very_goodman]

Guess I've got some catchin' up to do!

[When did this become a competition?]

[doestheickyjobs]

[When did this become a competition? It probably shouldn't be one.]

Hey, don't pick up more of them than you can look after. You don't want to screw up when somebody's depending on you.

[very_goodman]

Yeah, yeah, I get it. Don't worry, I'm not gonna just go around lookin' for more. But if I see more gods in danger, I'm definitely gonna help 'em out too.

[doestheickyjobs]

Fair enough. You can always ask them to let you go if it doesn't work out with somebody, too.

[very_goodman]

That's true. I dunno why people seem so worried about this. Seems fair to me as long as everybody's cool with it. You just gotta talk stuff out.
