I guess this is the best way to ask -- has anyone else noticed some of the shinki act a lot more reserved than others? Not like a quiet person. That's not a bad thing. Like it's hard to talk to them about themselves and they don't remember a name other than the one their god gave them?

Ah, if it matters, I'm a god. I'm just trying to figure out how I can best help my shinki. He's my responsibility after all.

ah yeah one of my gods has one of those hangin around.

they have no soul

[royaltyloyalty]

They what.

[How..........]

[moonfang]

They don't have souls! Or... they feel like they don't.

I can sense souls. humans, gods, shinki, animals... hell, even some plants seem to have a spark of somethin

these guys are blank. dark spots in a world of light

... im not entirely sure what keeps em going tbh

[royaltyloyalty]

[He has no idea what tbh means but everything makes sense in context so he doesn't feel like asking.]

So... their souls are somewhere else then. They have to be. Like, the underworld maybe.

[GOSH don't you know any chatspeak? loser]

I thought this WAS the underworld

or like some version of it

[royaltyloyalty]

Well there's got to be an underworld or they wouldn't have told me that was one of my jobs as Kshitigarbha - to usher souls out of the Underworld to the Far Shore or Near Shore, depending.

[moonfang]

So... is the underworld the Very Far Shore?

also how do you even pronounce that. shitgarba?

[royaltyloyalty]

Hah, I'll ask when I show up.

Something like that. They said it when the Messenger came by and all I got was "Kishi" and then "tagarba" so I try smashing the two together.

[moonfang]

The fuck language is that even?

[royaltyloyalty]

I guess it's Sanskrit? From India.
