[ Video ] Can I Touch Your....

[ Watanuki has the camera set up in front of him. He's sitting upright on his bed, hands on his knees, dressed in some stylish Chinese-style attire in black-and-blue. He seems to realize the camera is on and he bows towards it. ]

Hello. [ He seems nervous about posting to the BBS. He is. ] My name is Guanyin. I'm the God of Mercy and Compassion. It's nice to meet you all. This is my first time posting here so... if I seem a little awkward... well, it's probably just me.

Anyway...

I had a run-in with an ayakashi, and even with my shinki I was unable to defend myself. Another god had to step in and save us. Even though my shinki is a weapon-type, I never fought in my previous life, so I don't have any clue on how to properly wield him. I guess what I'm trying to say is...

[ He seems to get a little nervous here. He looks down to his lap. His ears are blushing. ] Well, that is... I think I have a solution... but I need someone's help.

Ah, so... if anyone has ever previously held a hard weapon such as a long stick, a pole, a spear, javelin, or any sort of polearm, ah... could you...

Could you.... let me touch it?

[He wants to touch everybirdie's long, hard weapons.


Oooookaaay....]

Assuming that's not a euphemism for something weird, I've done a lot of spear hunting in my day.


But I have to ask... why would just touching somebirdie's weapon help you?

[cleanmemory]

Something weird? No! What's weird about it...!?

And it's part of my power! I... can touch stuff and... stuff.... happens...? [ Yeah, it's vague, he knows... ]

[freestyle_chrysalis]

[Watanuki....]

Wouldn't a broom work just as well if you want to touch something of that matter? Or does it have to be a battle weapon?

[cleanmemory]

Well, I already use Jade like a broom... but it doesn't really work for battle purposes....

But... if someone used a specific broom as a weapon... hmm...

Somewhere in the temple

[Oh no. What is this? This is way too easy. There are so many things that he can say. Where does he start? This is gold.]

[cleanmemory]

[ ...Why can he feel your aura so easily... wait that's right THEY'RE CONNECTED. ]

Jade! I FEEL YOUR MISCHIEF.

(Still cursed Kazuma)

[Okay... Trying to ignore how Lewd it sounds...]

Lady Bishamon is quite handy with weapons, and she is a god of war. I am sure that if requested, she can provide you will all the help that you would need.

[cleanmemory]

[ There's a small gasp. ]

Really...!? [ His eyes go bright when Kazuma mentions someone he's met before. ] I remember Bishamon-san! She's a goddess of war, huh... that's incredible...

Do you think she'd really help...?

[wadoichimonji]

[Zoro first laughs like crazy before he can respond.]

I have a sword, it's not as long as a spear but it's pointy and stabby, would that work?

[cleanmemory]

[ He gives the pther a pouting face. He doesn't get what's so god damn funny. ] Hmph...

I'm not sure if a sword will work... can it be handled like a spear would be...?

[jocularly]

[He's just...laughing. Helplessly. Oh this is good. He thought he had been too vague with his last post, but this one takes the cake!]

What good is touchin' gonna do thee?

[cleanmemory]

It's part of my power... I think...

When I touch stuff, stuff... happens...? [ He makes a bit of a face. ] It's... kind of hard to explain.

But my touch can do amazing things. [ Just make it worse. ]

[Shuusei hops on a video chat with this guy because he's curious, though totally not helpful.]

You actually faced an ayakashi? And it was stronger than you and a shinki?

[He's not mocking, at least at the moment.]

What was it like? Oh, and I can't help you with weapons. I'm not sure I was ever the type to use something like that.

[cleanmemory]

It was... really strong. [ There's a pause. ] The ayakashi used to be a shinki, though... I don't know if it makes it any stronger, but...

I know it's also in part because I don't know how to fight at all.

[chickshades]

...I think you should rephrase that.

[cleanmemory]

...Why?

LOLOL

[ what an extremely helpful comment ]

[koshien]

my weapon's a sword, but my previous reincarnation used a spear. plus, i've got pretty good aim

but i don't think i want you touching anything of mine if you phrase it like that lololololol (｡ >艸<)

[savemeomi]

[ She understands wanting to defend yourself and your friends but not being able to. But... what the heck? ]

Shouldn't you be doing more than just touching them?

[cleanmemory]

Well... yeah but...

It would really help...

perma-private

[miraculo]

Watanuki-kun... I've been meaning to ask-- are you okay?

[ She remembers seeing him injured by the vampire. And although he got away, she feels bad that she couldn't be there to stop it from happening in the first place. ]

[cleanmemory]

Sanae-san!

[ He hadn't seen her face in awhile. He offers her a small, abashed smile. ]

I'm fine... why... why do you ask?

[cursedblood]

It would be difficult to touch it if it isn't here.

[cleanmemory]

Well yeah......
That kind of goes without saying

[neraiuchi]

LOLOL

[ Is this deja vu... ]

[neraiuchi]

oh man, i'm pretty sure you've gotten plenty of advice about the weapon thing at this point, but c'mon
what kind of phrasing was that???
