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.

You just work it out with them! You don't have to do a time-share or anything.

Figure out who's got room and who needs you on hand, that's what I'd say.

[very_goodman]

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.]

[killsthebuddha]

Live where you want. Do what you want. No one owns you.

[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!

[very_goodman]

Oh, yeah, I know that. I think of 'em as friends.

[killsthebuddha]

So don't talk about shit like custody. It gives people the wrong idea.

[very_goodman]

Yeah, I see what ya mean. Sorry, this is all still pretty new for me.

[killsthebuddha]

Makes no difference to me. Just some of these fuckers around here get ideas about what this false god and shinki bullshit means.

[doublesmall]

If you didn't know how it worked, the hell did you go and do something stupid like that for?

[very_goodman]

What was I gonna do, let 'em get mauled by ayakashi when their own shinki weren't around to help?

[very_goodman]

So, you got a lot of experience with this kinda stuff, then?

[doublesmall]

Doesn't mean you have to stick around, does it?

Split your time like that, and you're not going to be around when they need one either.

[very_goodman]

I dunno if I'd feel good about just up and leavin' like that. Seems like kind of a shitty thing to do.

[killsthebuddha]

Enough. Being a "stray" isn't something they approve of around here, but it's not wrong.

[doublesmall]

What, and making your god deal with this kind of thing isn't?

[very_goodman]

Yeah, I don't really see what the big deal is.

[very_goodman]

We already talked about it. She doesn't care as long as I pass all my tests and do all my homework. That's what she said, anyway. I think she just means I gotta keep helpin' out and pull my weight around her place. And I was gonna do that anyway.

[moonfang]

I just go to whichever one I feel like hanging out at, no big deal

[very_goodman]

Guess I should check out the other temples, then.

[moonfang]

Hell yeah. It all depends on what you feel like. If I want to relax by the beach, I go to Sensei's place. If I wanna hunt in the jungle, I go to Jin's. Being attached to multiple gods gives you all kinds of options!

[very_goodman]

Sounds like an adventure! I'm gettin' excited already!

[moonfang]

Ya gotta make your own adventure in this place i feel like. answerin prayers is real boring. only the ones where you get to fight ayakashi are worth anything!
