I can only assume this sword was left as a gift for me, as it feels like an extension of my arm when I hold it, however I have no clue why it would be gifted to me or why it's so easy to wield. Also, the shirt was an odd additional gift. If anyone has any information regarding this gift, it would be appreciated.

Unrelated, the animal shelter I have been working at is waiving the adoption fees for all adult cats and dogs on the 6th and 7th. If anyone has been considering adopting a pet, this would be a prime time to do so. I will be working both days if anyone is concerned about being overlooked by the living employees.

Unless someone gave it to you, I'd put it in the same category as all of those unusual creatures that appeared a month ago.

It's better not to think too hard about it.

[He vaguely recalls those posts. He hadn't paid much attention to them then and wasn't about to go wading through the old posts to try and find them now.]

Hmmm. Was there any consensus reached last month in regards to their origin aside from "don't think too hard about it?"

[wadoichimonji]

You got a sword too? It looks pretty badass.

I should ask my goddess if we can get a dog.

[saikusu]

It more than looks it, not that I've had the opportunity to truly test it out.

A dog would be a great choice.

[wadoichimonji]

I got a sword recently too, if you would like to spar.

Any dog you think a lady would not mind?

[shortnsweet]

do you have any black and white cats?

[redotiertwo]

joining the rapidly forming sword gifted shinki anonymous group we have happening on this post
mine turned up like two days ago and its a katana but its kind of hard not to think about shit youre not meant to be thinking about when it feels as natural to your hand as a pointy metal hand extension can

also i pretty much have a built in sheath so theres that added level of trippy mindfuck

[hackberrydragon]

At least you got a shirt.
I got a rock.

It seems that there was some kind of familiarity in all cases. That perception has been confirmed by a god who would have reason to know.

If you have an affinity for the sword... I assume you're a shinki?

That's why it's best not to think about it. You'll sting your god.

[saikusu]

Thank you for that information. It certainly helps to sate my curiosity on the matter.

An astute observation there. Yes, I am a shinki.

[saikusu]

I think that could be fun. Perhaps not today - maybe a few days from now? I should get a little more acquainted with it before I spar against anyone.

The answer depends entirely on the lady in question. You would want a dog whose personality would mesh well with hers or things will not go well and they won't bond as deeply.

[saikusu]

We have a few of them. Did you want a male or female?

[saikusu]

[There is so much he could say about the orange text and lack of punctuation, but given that he can highlight the text to make it more legible, there's little point in complaining.]

Difficult, but not impossible. Especially when you know how severe the consequences are for thinking too much about it.

I'm not certain I want to know what you mean by built in sheath, and yet I'm quite curious about it.

[saikusu]

Was a rock all you received? And are you certain it was something left for you?

[Sorry, he's imagining finding a rock outside the temple and why would anyone assume it was a gift?]

[hackberrydragon]

what no (ヾ;￣▽￣)ヾ
I mean at least you got a shirt with your sword
A saber showed up at my goddess' temple but it was stuck in a rock
In my room.

[ He really has to speak more clearly sometimes. ]

[saikusu]

I see. Have you managed to remove it from the rock?

[shortnsweet]

oh i didn't think of that
idk if it matters
i think mako-chan would like either
which would you pick?

[saikusu]

I prefer dogs, so I am not sure I can offer an opinion on that. However, we do have more adult female cats than males, so if you'd prefer a male, I'd suggest getting there early tomorrow.

[shortnsweet]

ok!
see you tomorrow then

[ And then a few minutes later. ]

oh hey
do you have supplies and food and that kind of thing too?
he probably doesn't have any since he doesn't have a pet yet

[saikusu]

We do have a package with all the basics you need for your pet, however, it doesn't come with very much food or cat litter, and the litter box is disposable. It's only enough to see you through a day or two.

[hackberrydragon]

Yeah.
My goddess let me keep it so it's now a matter of figuring out what it is exactly.
But I know how you feel.
This sword feels like it was made for me.

[wadoichimonji]

Just let me know whenever, I'm always ready for sparring!

... A dog who's stubborn and small and girly. Got anything like that?

[shortnsweet]

that'll be plenty to start off with
i know mako-chan won't wait to get it what it needs
but it'll be good to have something jic

[redotiertwo]

yeah im gonna have to admit the general fuck this shit averseness to thinking about any of that had me flying circles the morning it turned up
one minute im half thinking about it again then i get rebounded by my own somehow still a thing self preservation instinct for like two minutes
then the cycle begins again
its like the circle of life but the circle of dead people trying not to remember shit

cant turn down an explanation if youre that curious but its not that interesting
theres a finely crafted hole in my stomach the exact dimensions to store a sword in

[reformedsinner]

Who is your god, incidentally? If you don't mind me asking.

I don't believe we've met.
