she sells seashells by the seashore

i dont know what the hell she was thinking. not going to make a lot of money is she? maybe she just really fucking loves selling seashells. weird thing to get attached to.

which witch is which

probably doesnt matter dumbass its a witch either way.

i scream you scream we all scream for ice cream

no thanks.

[That wasn't in reaction to a recent proposition or spying on her god chatting about her again, nooo... Never.]

[Private to Aditi, Sharak Sanzo.]

[Haha no. Probably not. But perhaps. ]

There's probably a few assholes here, even if they're not doing anything in particular. Whenever I decide I need to saw someone in half, I'll call for you right away.

[shadepossessed]

[Kainé has no reason to doubt it. She feels rather lucky. "Perfect match" indeed...]

thank you

[bussounoshima]

[Sharak stares at that text for a minute before responding.]

Don't get in any fights with the gods here without me, whether they're old or new. If they do anything particularly offensive, report it back to me first.

[shadepossessed]

[everything is fine and everyone is on the same page!!!]

i guess thats a rule i can let you make. long as i can hold myself back from smashing in their skull.

[bussounoshima]

[Communication!!!]

And from agitating them until they want to do the same to you.

[She appreciates Kainé's.. Kainéness, but others are more easily offended.]

[shadepossessed]

that ones a little too restrictive for me

[bussounoshima]

Just try.

[She knows it's hard. God, does she know it's hard.]

[shadepossessed]

yeah sure

[But noooot likely.]

we'll get em back four times as hard working together. thats the thought ill use to tide me over until you get your ass in gear.

[bussounoshima]

[THAT'S REALLY SWEET??? That's practically shounen friendship. What the hell.]

Try not to start too many feuds. It's barely been a week.

[shadepossessed]

[Kainé's too hotblooded and loyal...]

hey come on i only argue with idiots spewing bullshit

[bussounoshima]

[Kainé, please find your chill]

There are too many of those in the world. You can't fight them all.

[shadepossessed]

every little bit helps

[bussounoshima]

You're a regular hero.

[shadepossessed]

some people even seem to like me you know

[bussounoshima]

Why wouldn't they? I already said you're an interesting girl.
But I've seen you antagonizing people. It's fine in most cases, I'm just telling you to be careful.

[shadepossessed]

[She can think of reasons.]

i should be able to speak my mind

[communication is key!!!]

[bussounoshima]

Even if I were a real goddess I don't think I could stop you from doing that.

[shadepossessed]

[She closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, and lets out that quiet anxiety that had been threatening to build again. Funny how often Sharak was able to ease those feelings away with the simplest of words.]

doubt it yeah

ive been calling you a god not a goddess

[WHAT ARE THE RULES SHE'S SO CONFUSED]

[bussounoshima]

[You know, at this rate, she's going to start to think Kainé has some issues regarding gender identity. Well, she should probably explain how it applies to her a little more clearly.]

You can call me either, I don't mind. [Ah, how to put this... It's different with another woman than it is with someone like Hassan.] What I mind is being treated like a woman. It's not something that has anything to do with my identity as Sharak Sanzo.

[Being "Sanzo" comes first, before anything else. But so many people see a woman first.]

[shadepossessed]

[ha ha h a]

but theres nothing wrong with being a woman

[bussounoshima]

[She takes a little while to respond. Part of her wonders if they should maybe be having this conversation in person, but it's a little easier in text. For Kainé, of course, who has issues with this sort of thing.]

Of course there isn't. But people get ideas about how they should be treated and looked at.

[shadepossessed]

so what you mind isnt being treated like a woman its being treated like how people think women should be treated

i dont think youre helping anyone in that case

[bussounoshima]

And you are?

God or goddess, call me whatever you want. I told you that already.

[Her issues aren't yours, Kainé. They're a whole other mess.]

[shadepossessed]

im not going along with the assumption that women should be weak quiet and shy. i wouldnt say "dont treat me like a woman" but i would say "treat women like me". fuck what they thought before

it just isnt my decision to make its yours

[bussounoshima]

[And that's all well and good for Kainé, but... Oh, whatever.]

Exactly.
