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.

Maybe someone prayed for it to go bankrupt?

All right, permit me to throw one right back-- the Takatori family and their company. There was a brief period [like, one evening] where one brother was the Prime Minister and the other was Chief of Police.

I would pray them away, if I thought a god might listen, though.

[connivingbird]

I doubt it.

Never heard of them. Any of them.

[slantedcross]

Would you think less of me if I hoped that was their PR earning their bonuses?

But this being some measure of "extra" reality would also explain why some gods I know are a couple years younger than he was before I met him here.

[connivingbird]

No.

[He thinks less of most humans so Youji wasn't gaining or losing any special opinions from this monstrous bird creature any time soon.]

There can be a number of reasons though I pretty sure that the main reason is that this place likes being irritating.

[slantedcross]

I find myself unreasonably hating that reason.

[connivingbird]

You are not the only one.

[slantedcross]

Incl. the unreasonable part? I'd like to hear that I'm not the only unreasonable one-- or better yet, that we're all very reasonable.

[connivingbird]

Depends on how you look at matters I suppose.

[slantedcross]

I would like a more descriptive explanation, if you care to give it. Since I don't know who's looking at it how.

[connivingbird]

I am not human
I was never born, never became human and was not transformed from a human
So
This sort of thing is irritating to me
Humans might see it in a different way but that is how you are.

[slantedcross]

Hm.

Just as a random question, do you find the gods in charge here to be more similar to humans, or more different? You have a fascinating perspective.

[connivingbird]

I find them irritating but in a different way
it isn't like I've interacted with them enough to know exactly what they're like

[slantedcross]

Next question: are you irritated constantly, then?

Usually, that only happens to me with coworkers.
