[ 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?

[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.

[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.

[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.

[cleanmemory]

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

[talkbirdytome]

Sure thing!

[Hiyoko almost laughs again. He sounds so excited about something that's actually pretty normal for her. Seriously what did humans in other worlds do when wild animals invaded their homes? Just move out? No invader is taking her glorious abode!]

Do you want me to come over to your place? Or do you want to visit me?

[cleanmemory]

Since you're the one doing me the favor... I'll come over to you.

Where are you at?

[talkbirdytome]

At my temple. It's *insert address here because seriously I have no proper grasp of the layout of the heavens.* Come over anytime!

Do you want to me to see if any of the bears are up for a little sparring?

[....she said as if the question were completely normal.]

[cleanmemory]

I-I don't know if I could handle bears... I can barely handle fighting a cold!

[talkbirdytome]

Aw, c'mon! The best way to learn something is by doing it.

[cleanmemory]

BUT IT'S BEARS!!! I'L DIE!

...Unless you're saying you can protect me...
