[ 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?

I AM NOT COMING ONTO YOU
I ALREADY HAVE SOMEONE
THAT I LIKE OKAY AND IT IS
NOT YOU!!!!

[talkbirdytome]

[She laughs. She kind of figured he didn't realize how that sounded.]

Define 'stuff.' Like does it glow or change shape or burst into flames?

[cleanmemory]

Hmmm...

I can... pick up information from people and things? I guess that's a way to describe it. Such as...

I can pick up a ring and see who wore it and where it's been. Or touch a person and see the last place they were or what they were doing. Sometimes memories, too. Things like that.

[wadoichimonji]

[He thinks for a moment before answering.]

You could try? It is slightly long I think.

[talkbirdytome]

Oh, wow! That's pretty handy!

[She thinks she gets it now.]

So if you can get your hands on somebirdie's weapon then you can skip the whole 'training' part. Right?

[cleanmemory]

I wouldn't be able to skip it entirely, but... I'd know all the techniques that were used, yeah! Then it would just be a matter of practicing them to see if I have gotten them down. The practice would be good since the spear is a little heavy.

[cleanmemory]

If you think it could help, I wouldn't mind.

What kind of sword is it?

[talkbirdytome]

That's still pretty cool. You probably want to go with somebirdie else though.

[She is a little apologetic.]

I don't really know any fancy techniques. I guess that comes with being self taught.

[cleanmemory]

But you've used one though, right? Maybe your skill will rub off on me.

Even if you don't know 'fancy' techniques, even knowing how to hold it is worth something.

[talkbirdytome]

Sure, if you think it'll help. It's gotten me through scraps with bears and jackals and stuff.

[koshien]

whoa, scandalous! ~
first pole touching, now love confessions?

[cleanmemory]

Bears?! [ Was the exclamation. HOLY SHIT BEARS?! ] Yeah! Yeah! Let me touch your spear!!!

[cleanmemory]

[ Cue screaming in the distance. ]

STOP
MAKING IT
SOUND
DIRTY
more dirty than it is, anyway
kind of.

[koshien]

you're the one saying it on a public forum.

Did it look like a shinki or are those guys obvious?

[Shuusei's not judging. He doesn't know much about the enemy and he's curious.]

Also, if it is really strong, you might not want to face one alone even if you learn how to fight.
