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.

[Oh, now he's distressing her. Brilliant. Talk your way out of this one, Kudou.]

No, no, it's... well, as you said, I wouldn't think of someone like that. [Even Schuldig-- talking to him might net some information... yeah right...]. But I might make a joke about myself.

Clearly it wasn't funny. I'll try again in a minute.

Oh-- I'm sorry. I ruined the joke. [She looks sheepish and smiles slightly] I suppose I'm the same way. I don't really like seeing others put themselves down, I guess...

[She pauses and then seems to realize something] Oh, I'm sorry. I never introduced myself-- My name is Jennifer.

[slantedcross]

No, I think you made it better. Let's say the joke was on me, not understanding your more refined sense of humor. I've misjudged my audience-- give me a chance to improve.

[It's on the tip of Youji's tongue to make a joke about putting others down being more fun -- only in jest, or if they really deserve it -- but if she doesn't like self-deprecation, she may not tolerate otherwise. And she's been nothing but polite, so he straightens up his posture and tries to match it.]

Youji. They tell me here that I'm Hedone, but Youji is completely fine.
