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.

Yep. As many as you want, I guess. All you gotta do is ask 'em to give you another name. You get a whole new weapon form outta it, too!

[redotiertwo]

well thats disturbingly simple for something that this entire post is getting their undergarment of choice in a gordian knot over
wouldve figured the up top gods would be policing that shit if they cared that much but multigods for everyone who wants them i guess
how did you even end up stumbling into that seems like youd need the most serious of business going down to go for that option accidentally

[very_goodman]

You pretty much guessed it. I ran into the other two when all that shit was goin' down with that crazy god that had all those ayakashi attackin' everybody a few days ago. They didn't have their own shinki with 'em, and my god wasn't around either, so it kinda just worked out that way.

[redotiertwo]

right that whole deal
yeah thats about the best situation i can think of for deciding to throw in the ball with whoever happens to be handing out names at the time
i mean you can unname shinki too right
anyone riding that uptight about it can just hit undo when shit and the fan have their soap opera breakup
tissues for everyone and also not dying which is always a bonus

[very_goodman]

I guess so. But they seemed pretty nice, so I figured I'd stick around for the long haul. Never hurts to have friends, right?

[redotiertwo]

yeah if shit like that goes down again you probably want as many friends as you can get
get some complicated friend dodecahedron going up in here

[very_goodman]

That's what I think too. You can't be everywhere at once, so you might as well at least be able to help the people you're close to when something dangerous happens.

[redotiertwo]

thats some dangerously sound logic for the higher ups to deal with
tradition is a cool thought and all but if doing this multigod special was actually that big of a thing i figure they wouldve given us an actual reason to not do it
other than "this is bad just take our totally sincere and unquestionable word for it"

[very_goodman]

Yeah, and you'd think they'd make it harder to do, too.

[redotiertwo]

another point for the shinki corner there
if its that goddamn simple im surprised that shit hasnt gotten out of control already with the amount of people stuck here

[very_goodman]

Maybe it has. Depends on your definition of 'out of control,' probably.

[redotiertwo]

my standards for out of control are probably way higher than most people here so
i guess as long as every second shinki isnt doing this im not calling it out of control yet

[very_goodman]

Yeah, I kinda got that feeling about you. Seems like you have a pretty good tolerance for weird shit.

[redotiertwo]

yeah its pretty fucked up not actually remembering the level of weird shit i should have available to reference but apparently my brain is just
so transcendently done with everything that its raised the weirdness bar permanently
like some dimensions spanning mental high jump deal

[very_goodman]

You know, you really got a hell of a way with words. Ever think about writing songs?

[redotiertwo]

my train of thought spins itself into rhyme often enough im pretty sure i did
rap specifically
i should get on that again i dont have the excuse of still trying to figure out my ass from my front here

[very_goodman]

Yeah, you should give it a shot. We could use some better entertainment around this place.

[redotiertwo]

yeah nothing against the harps and bells but the angelic chorale deal afterlives are supposed to have going just doesnt really do it for me
guess i need turntables first but this is true dream material here
the corniest of college sitcoms
we gotta dream big before we remember that we dont have the money or means to actually do what we want to do and then circumstances contrive to bring it to us anyway
because the true moral is that if we complain for long enough the world bends over apparently

[very_goodman]

Two turntables and a microphone.

[Where does he know those lyrics from. He can't remember.]

Well, we ARE in heaven. Maybe prayin' hard enough really is how you get what ya want.

[redotiertwo]

yeah thats the stuff
should start looking online see if anything rings any awkward deja vu bells

well instead of praying i could maybe
ask hajime
if she knows anything about it
since she's the singular god whos kind of obliged to listen to me

[very_goodman]

Kinda the same thing as prayin', really. Except you get to go straight to the source. Anyway, good luck with it.

[redotiertwo]

dude have you met hajime
itd take a thousand broken mirrors worth of bad luck for her not to at least make the attempt

[very_goodman]

Sounds like you got yourself a pretty generous goddess there.

[redotiertwo]

ok so you havent met hajime
hajime is like
the embodiment of fucking mad energy
i dont know how she does it but nothing can stop the bounce in her step or the flying hugs or whatever else she feels like springing that day

[very_goodman]

Hey, at least she's friendly! You coulda ended up with a jackass for a god.
