I've been here for a while now and I've had a lot of time to think... but even just sitting here brings up more and more questions and concerns.

... I still don't think I'm the right fit to be a god. I don't feel comfortable having shinki. I don't feel comfortable being anything BUT what I am.

Do we really have to fight? Do we really have to train and kill and put our own shinki in danger?

How am I supposed to be just and fair when everything about this feels like the exact opposite?

I can't be the only one. Someone out there-- You have to know how wrong this feels.

... Or maybe being the god of love really has turned me into a sentimental maniac.

At any rate. My name is Rin. I want you to know that. I've attached a photo of myself so you'll know me in passing too. ... I guess I just don't want to be a stranger.

(( ooc: Just a note, part of Rin's god power involves being aesthetically beautiful, but don't worry! It's only beauty and he won't be using it to manipulate anyone... I mean, unless you want to. Feel free to read more about that here and fill out some permissions while you're there~ ))

Morale? Like how, making everyone love each other? Somehow I doubt I could accomplish that...

[clothes_make_the_man]

Well, is there anything else you're good at? Or something you like to do?

[sharkmaid]

... Swimming.

[HE'S JUST AN AVERAGE PERSON. He isn't skilled at this ok.]

[clothes_make_the_man]

You could teach people how to swim! I'm sure there are some gods and shinki here who don't know how. It might save a life someday, you never know.

[HE'S TRYING, OKAY]

[sharkmaid]

... Somehow that seems like the complete opposite of "godly."

[Isn't he supposed to be ethereal and super powerful and wise and all that!? He's not a swim coach up here! ... Though now that he mentions it--]

Please tell me that you at least know how to swim.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Actually, no. There wasn't much water where I was raised.

[sharkmaid]

Not even a pool?

[clothes_make_the_man]

I'm afraid not, no.

[sharkmaid]

Then I guess you have no choice then. You're going to drown.

[He's teasing, of course.]

[clothes_make_the_man]

Or you could teach me. I'd be happy to be your first student.

[sharkmaid]

[Well poo his tease backfired]

Fine. I guess I don't see anything wrong with that. But I'll have you know, I won't go easy on you.

[clothes_make_the_man]

[Forrest is friends with enough tsundere trolls back home that he knows how to deflect that sort of thing.]

You won't let me drown, will you?

[sharkmaid]

No. I might not go easy on you, but I'm not an awful teacher.

Do you have a swimsuit?

[clothes_make_the_man]

No, but it shouldn't take me long to make one. I've always wanted to design swimwear! The kind with the little ruffles is so cute!

[sharkmaid]

Something like that might be better suited for the beach instead of learning how to swim, don't you think?

[clothes_make_the_man]

Oh... yes. Perhaps you're right.

[sharkmaid]

At any rate though, I don't mind teaching you if you want to learn. Doing something more "human" like that might be pretty nice.

[clothes_make_the_man]

It seems like a useful skill to have. I'd be happy to learn from you.
