HEAVEN'S BBS - TEXT

[tsuku]

Date: April 24, 2016
From: Otegine

I have the weirdest relationship with the Shinki owned by the HeavenS. Their faces say: We have like a dozen questions we want to ask you, but we won't ask because:

-You probably can't answer because you died and don't remember anything.

-If we ask, then you'll probably get curious and you've already tried to run away like twice, so we already know you are.

-We can't answer any of your questions, mainly that we have no clue why you didn't reincarnate properly.

But otherwise, they're kind of nice? But they're also really distant and their smiles are usually fake when they're not... scared or concerned? I won't ask them anything because of that, really.

Anyway! Yeah, I died, make fun of me all you want. Since I kind of know I was a god by accident, I guess I should apologize to my Shinki. I don't quite remember you and it's better if you don't tell me, but I'm really, really sorry. I hope your new gods are nice to you.

Also, if anyone has free time, can I ask for a favor? Seriously, I've been stuck here, it's boring!

he does his best

[okitactless]

[He does feel bad, though. Even if there was nothing to be done about it, even if Otegine was beyond saving at that point...

And they were friends, weren't they? Here in heaven, regardless of what happened in the past. But does that remain true now? Maybe Otegine won't even want to speak to him without that tenuous connection from history. And, more selfishly, does he want anything to do with Otegine now? He hadn't stayed close because he'd wanted to know about the past, and there are others around who instill that sense of nostalgia in him, but...

It's a lot to think about. And Yamato hasn't quite mastered the art of composition, so all of those thoughts end up in one of his stream-of-consciousness messages.]

I think maybe we knew each other before we came here but I don't know and now you don't know but can we still be friends

SO LATE

[tsuku]

[ A lack of composition is fine, that might be just how anon messages are. But it takes a bit for Ote to respond.

Honesty is the best policy, right? It wouldn't hurt when Anon no kami Yasusada. is probably pouring out the feelings he can into text. ]

The one thing that remains of the old me, who might have known you but now we don't know, is his dying wish to forgive someone or something that really hurt him. I don't quite understand it, from what I'm getting he wasn't a very hateful person and had people who cared about him. Like you.



I can't be that Otegine again, but I'd still want to be your friend, okay? You should give me your name though, you're on anon.

[okitactless]

[Yamato doesn't understand it either. He feels a pang of regret for not being able to give Otegine any answers, but it's gone quickly--Heaven probably wouldn't want him to share, even if he did have them. Being a shinki is all about a clean slate, isn't it? It's a chance to serve your god and be the best vessel you can, as far as Yamato's concerned. Maybe it's better if they start over.

A part of him still wants, desperately, to know about the past. But that doesn't mean he needs to get Otegine involved too. The last thing he wants is to hurt anyone precious to him, be they gods or shinki friends.]

what's an anon

[tsuku]

It's a setting where I can't see your name. I think it's short for anonymous.

Maybe you hit the setting by accident?

[ What happens when strong yam feelings lead to hasty actions... ]

[okitactless]

[LOOK he can't help himself...

But with a little more fiddling, he somehow manages to undo whatever he did, and lo! The mysterious commenter has an identity.]

did it work?????
