From: Kija

Hello, my name is Kija. Thank you to those who provided assistance with my last request about the milk.

[It's... it's been a little while since the Milk Incident, but he feels like he should belatedly acknowledge that some people were actually helpful. Thanks; he still drank himself sick.

Anyway.]

What do you do when your new god is only interested in going to bars and associating with women? He does not listen to me or express any desire toward doing his part! !!

I do not wish to misrepresent him, he is probably a capable man. But I would not know anything about that.

[There - he genuinely thinks this is not petty and is in fact very generous. Just one more unrelated piece to this message and he's done-]

Also, how do you prevent bugs from approaching you while outdoors...?

If you weren't so righteous, perhaps, they wouldn't want to eat you so much.

[bighand]

That is not how bugs work.

[And a minute later, when he Realizes:]

What is wrong with being righteous? ??

[slantedcross]

It's exhausting, for one thing.

I definitely, definitely think they want to eat you.

Well, you know what they say - if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

[bighand]

[What, as in... go canoodling...]

Out of the question! !!!

[very_goodman]

C'mon, it sounds like you could use a night out on the town. Relax and live a little!

[fullcowl]

I can't help with the first part, but for the second people usually use bug spray.

What kind of bugs are you having trouble with?

[bighand]

You would spray bugs...? Does that counter other bugs?

I am having trouble with all of them.

[fullcowl]

Bug spray doesn't actually contain any bugs. They have chemicals in them that repel bugs.

[killsthebuddha]

Try a rolled up newspaper or a large folded paper fan.

[ Which question is he answering? Forever a mystery. ]

[bighand]

[Truly mysterious...]

What will those accomplish?

[killsthebuddha]

You swat the problem until it stops being one.

[mybadhabit]

Insect repellent. You can buy it at an outdoors shop. Citronella is also very effective at repelling insects, especially the bitey kind, and you can probably get some Kurama, also known as the god Xochipili. He is fond of roses and foxes if you wish to make an exchange.

Unfortunately, I have no sound advice for dealing with men of loose behaviors, however, the rolled up newspaper does sound like a viable [and entertaining] option.

[bighand]

I do not have a fox to give... What is citronella? Can it be sprayed?

[He's heard good things about Bug Spray, after all.]

Hitting my god is not an option.

[mybadhabit]

Stuffed fox? Picture of a fox? Be creative! You don't have to limit yourself to actual foxes and roses, you see. For example, he has a very nice pink shirt with a picture of a fox on it that I know he's very fond of.

[This may or may not be an exaggeration. He's not sorry, Kurama.]

Citronella is an herb, more specifically, a type of grass. It's more commonly known as lemongrass because when you break the blades, they smell like lemons. Aside from just generally keeping the area clear of mosquitoes simply by existing, breaking the blades and rubbing the oil on your skin works to keep bugs away.

I don't see why hitting isn't an option. As a shinki, it is your duty to be your god's moral compass. Of course, if you simply keep having negative feelings towards him and his actions, you may start to blight him, which may act in your favor.

[erogappa]

loan up of new want to drink and glory then isn't it for job as a wink to support von?

[bighand]

What?

[razzledazzles]

He's what? He's doing what? Kija, you haven't gone to any bars with him, have you? He hasn't brought any women home, has he?

[Does Jae-Ha realize this sounds like a description of himself in some ways??? No. Not at all.]

[bighand]

[Hi, Jae-Ha.]

No, I have stayed at home. I have not seen any women... but he talks about them briefly.

[Something about lady clothes on the floor?? It was an odd topic.]

[nailed_navigation]

If your God gets a taste of "too much of a good thing", that might work with a difficult god.

[bighand]

Too much... of women?

[He's not mentally equipped to talk about this!!]

[lecturehall]

Aside from the bug repellent there are also lanterns you can purchase that supposedly drive them away. I've never had them work but I'm sure someone has.

More importantly- You asked about milk?

[bighand]

Are these lanterns related to the items made of grass? [Citronella.... spare him.]

And yes. We did not know which milk to buy, so we purchased one of each type.

[miraculo]

congratulations on your new god kija!!! who is he?? o(^◇^)o

as for your question, you can always sit down and talk with your god about behavior like that!! my shinki gives me lectures pretty much all the time, and it's important to learn from them!! (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

[ She learns. Because she doesn't want to endure another lecture... ]

[bighand]

He does not listen to me! All he says is that if I do not understand his vague way of speaking, there is no point in explaining! !!
