Have any shinki woken up one morning to find that they could suddenly recall something? Like a piece of their memory had been restored, as if it were never missing to begin with.

I need to know if it's a bad sign, or if anything needs to be done.

Someone told me that her age means she died recently. Do you know anything about that?

[killsthebuddha]

[ First things first, he links a certain interesting open BBS thread. ]

I don't doubt it. Probably killed before the replacement Susano'o appeared.

[razzledazzles]

[He takes extra long to reply because he has to navigate and read through that before navigating back and typing that careful way he does.]

But some time after that post, you think? She doesn't write her messages like a young girl, but I suppose anyone could have been doing it for her, too.

[killsthebuddha]

If she died before the Susano'o that launched the rebellion appeared, I'd say one of her advisers is writing for her. She sounded like any noble brat when I spoke to her.

[razzledazzles]

All of this only makes me want to make a larger fuss. But I don't want to create a problem for Hazel.

You wouldn't happen to have any ideas?

[killsthebuddha]

I'm going to see if I can drown myself in a pot of coffee. This is too much shit to talk about first thing in the morning.

[ It's like ten... ]

If you want your actions to reflect only on yourself, try being a stray. But I doubt that path is one you'll survive.

[razzledazzles]

Should I come over and make it for you?

Wait, though, what do you mean by stray? And that last, ominous sentence?

[killsthebuddha]

You'll definitely die if you come over.

Start doing your own research, you bum.

[ He says this, and yet sends another link. ]

[razzledazzles]

Don't be so cold, Sanzo! Sanzang dear would appreciate my talents.

[Nevermind that he only just learned to make coffee. Anyway, he's clicking this link.]

[razzledazzles]

[And a few moments later after he's read through enough of that...]

Oh, I've heard of that. Nora, aren't they called?

There isn't anyone else around here that I'd trust my life with so easily, unfortunately. Rather than having my actions reflect only on myself, wouldn't that actually connect my actions to multiple people? I have enough trouble as it is behaving.

[killsthebuddha]

I don't want a pervert trying to share his talents here. Die instead.

Being a nora would mean you're a traitor that can't be trusted. No one could blame these fake ass idiot gods for actions you take. It'd be a shitty choice for someone with delusions of heroism.

[razzledazzles]

[Gosh, he'll stop trying to invite himself over for now, then.]

A traitor isn't a beautiful thing at all. I'll fight these stupid rules my own way, beautifully. I'm completely free as I am already, with Hazel at my side. I wouldn't drag anyone else into this at all.

But your concern is sweet, Sanzo. Could it be that you've grown fond of me?

[killsthebuddha]

Never. I'm a traitor four times over. By that logic, you can't be a damn weirdo at me anymore.

[razzledazzles]

The beauty of your face makes up for it. Smile once in a while and you might do a little better with Sanzang, too.

I'm not the type of man who tells another man how to live his life, so I won't judge you, but that sounds dangerous. What happens if you cause blight?

[killsthebuddha]

I refuse to. It doesn't matter how many people are involved, we don't have the luxury of remorse or guilt.

[razzledazzles]

Oooh, what a cool thing to say. I'm getting chills.

If you can really back that up, that's nice. But you don't feel like you're treating yourself even more like an object, that way?

[killsthebuddha]

[ Just let him be the cool protagonist already, don't question is specious logic. ]

I'll do what I have to until I can put a bullet in the head of the bastard responsible for this.

[razzledazzles]

That right there is a language I can speak. People who toy with the freedom and lives of others are the lowest scum.

In this way, we're allies, aren't we?

[killsthebuddha]

It's a broad path that we both happen to be walking down.

[razzledazzles]

You'll go through so much trouble to avoid saying you agree with me. Really, it's only flattering.

When it comes down to it, I always have the back of a good person.

[killsthebuddha]

I can't control how you read into that.

You're a real pain in the ass. Don't get killed over it.

[razzledazzles]

I don't intend to, so don't go and leave me to outlive you, either.

[killsthebuddha]

Not a chance. I won't die before a pervert frog.

[razzledazzles]

That's good. If you were gone, Sanzang would be sad, and someone might steal her away.

[killsthebuddha]

Now you're asking to be shot.
