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.

I'm making a good case for myself, right here on this page.

He also wants to fight an ayakashi, but that should be done with by then.

[reformedsinner]

A very good point.

Let's see, perhaps later in the afternoon, then?

[slantedcross]

You're not asking my permission for him to come out and play, are you? It sounds fine. We'll probably need some time apart by then.

[reformedsinner]

I'm just ensuring I wouldn't interrupt any divine duties.

Very well, then.

[slantedcross]

He probably won't jilt you in any case. If it does need to be rescheduled, consider yourself to have an open invitation.

[reformedsinner]

Thank you, I will!

May I ask what your name is -- besides Hedone, of course?

[slantedcross]

Youji. I don't mind being Hedone, of all the goddesses, just for the etymology, but I dread ever being called that.

For that matter, is it better to ask your name politely, or just use the BBS to see it? Still working out Internet norms.

[reformedsinner]

Cho Hakkai, although I certainly don't mind you finding it on my account. I'm afraid I have no idea what proper manners for the Internet might be either.

[slantedcross]

It seems more prevalent, now that I'm here. I could do some work on them before, but it wasn't... such a part of life.

[reformedsinner]

A different time? You wouldn't be the first new god to say so.

[slantedcross]

It's not so very different. This website says it's 2016, which isn't actually that long after the year I remember it being, in the grand scheme of things. Long enough for me to get old, but not that old.

[reformedsinner]

Technology seems to change fast.

Well, in any case, it's been interesting talking to you! I'm sure I'll see you around, if not tomorrow.
