Heaven's BBS | text

Posted: May 2 From: Hedone I have a sneaking suspicion I could find the answer to this by going through the archives, but let's give me the benefit of the doubt and say I want to be as accurate as possible and allow for new people's responses, or else opinions evolving over time... any shinki out there who wish they were gods? Or the reverse, gods who wish they were shinki? Why do you think you got the better and/or worse deal? Devil's advocates welcome; I may indulge in it a bit myself.

[Honestly why didn't he just walk across the temple, big questions.]

I was just thinking about it just now! !! I do not wait for you to speak!

Truer words were never typed... But fine, let me humor you. We'll go right now. Where to?

[—oh.]

Really? You are not going to complain about how useless it is again?

I'm not going to waste the effort typing it again, no.

So you are going to complain.

But where only you have to listen to it.

That is not one of my shinki duties. As your guide, I am advising you to stop complaining so much!

But my sphere of influence is pleasure. Working and pleasure don't go together, it's one of the cardinal rules of the universe. But please, tell me about the prayer you wish to answer, and we'll get on with it. I can complain and be motivated at the same time, I'm very talented.

I have never heard that rule. I like to work.

[Rule dismissed; next.]

I want to fight an ayakashi. There are many to choose from!

So choose one. I have my watch out.

[...rrgh.]

Why don't you choose one? You are going to choose one or I will not leave you alone about this! I am your fighting partner, not your secretary.

[...they can both be children, or Youji can be an adult about this. Hm...]

If you were my secretary, I would be telling you what to do. Because you're my fighting partner, I'm asking your opinion. What ayakashi would be most beneficial to fight?

[Eh, he'll split the difference.]

You do not value my opinion and you did not ask for it. You told me to choose. Pick one and prove that you are dedicated to this.

I also don't know what the options are.

That is because you do not care or pay attention. You are the god; who is praying to you?

The girl asking for closure that we're still planning on answering soon!

[He was preparing for that, okay? Even if you do want an ayakashi. Let him think.]

We aren't forgetting about that, are we?

You are taking too long.

Kija, I will get you an ayakashi to kill. Give me a moment to find one, if you don't have one pre-selected.

[You're pushier than Ken asking him for targets.]

[HE'LL WAIT A MINUTE

HIS IMPATIENCE IS RADIATING]

[AND ON THE VERY LAST SECOND OF THAT MINUTE:]

There's a kid who wants his dad to come home and play with him, but dad's stuck trying to solve a cold case. An ayakashi might be interfering, but if I can solve the case and you can kill your ayakashi, will you be happy?

[Oh, he actually did it—]

We have to work together to kill ayakashi.

But that is acceptable.

It's going to be you striking the actual death blow, kid. All I have to do is aim.

I do not think you understand the meaning of "work together."

[That COUNTS...]

Do not call me kid.

I don't think you understand the difference between the finger on the trigger and the impacting bullet.

[Wait, does he even know what a gun is...]

Stop motivating me to.

[No... he does not.]

Do you think a weapon that is not a shinki is responsible for your actions, as well? Do not act like you are not participating.

I am not a child.
