Is it weird that parts of this feel normal and parts of this feel like a simulation? It's strange and I get uncomfortable thinking about why some things seem really off without me being able to pin point why they are off. Also, realizing I died in what are probably my early 20's sucks.

So on to a more important question! What do shinki do for fun around here? I know there's cooking, cute goddesses and wine but I'm feeling a little boxed in by the weirdness of it all and could use a few more distractions.

Try taking up a hobby! I'm sure there are plenty of skills you might find a use for.

Online courses are also a good way to avoid the awkwardness of interacting with the mortal world.

Yo. If you do meet cute goddesses or whatever, don't bring them to the temple. Place isn't soundproof.

It looks like a couple hobbies come easy to me already. Cooking's good for passing the time but I'm looking for other less constructive things. What's fun around here and the other place?

[Oh, a call from... oops!]

Ha ha, don't worry about that. I'm not even sure how that'd work with me being dead and with gods and all.

Speaking of distractions though, apparently I'm not a bad cook. If you have something you like I could always cook us up something sometime.

[reformedsinner]

What sort of things do you do for fun?

[It's possible he'd get better advice from Gojyo. On the other hand, Hakkai sees nothing wrong with continuing to suggest constructive entertainment.]

[latentforlife]

I'm trying to figure that out. I kinda of figure it out as I find it. So I'm open for suggestions.

[reformedsinner]

Have you tried dancing?

[It's not something he'd normally suggest -- it's certainly not his preferred form of entertainment -- but it springs to mind somehow. Maybe he's thinking of Elsa. She'd have been holding her ballroom dance classes today, if she were still here.]

[latentforlife]

Not yet. Know anyone who might be interested?

[reformedsinner]

Hmm. You might try Sheryl Nome?

[latentforlife]

I'll keep that in mind if I see her around. Thanks! So what do you do to keep yourself busy around these parts?

[reformedsinner]

This and that. There's always assisting my god with his duties, of course, and I teach math and Japanese to some of the younger shinki.

[latentforlife]

Ah, yeah there's the shinki stuff. I don't know if I'd have the patience for teaching.

[reformedsinner]

If you're interested in learning, Kazuma, Bishamon's lead shinki, teaches more advanced shinki magical techniques.

[latentforlife]

Wait. We can do magic too?!?!?!? (-.-)

[reformedsinner]

Yes. Have you learned how to cast a borderline? That's the first technique.

[latentforlife]

Borderline?

[reformedsinner]

It's a shinki power that allows you to defend yourself! For instance, it will hold off ayakashi, at least temporarily, if you're caught on the Near Shore without your god.

I'm afraid I can't teach it through text very well, but I'd be happy to show you the technique at some point.

[latentforlife]

That'd be cool!

[reformedsinner]

Please feel free to message me when you're available!

[heatupnever]

S'not like I care. Just take it somewhere else.

Anyway, how'd you find that out? You cooked for someone already?

You ever been to a karaoke parlor?

[latentforlife]

I'm free now, and if you haven't caught on I'm extremely bored. Where do you want to meet?

[latentforlife]

Yeah, someone had apples and asked for cooking ideas. I offered to help and when I went to get stuff at the store it just all came to me. I grabbed what I needed for apple curry and got to work.

So, if you want something just let me know and we'll see just how good I am.

[He's not going to say he jumped on the idea because the girl that said she wanted to know what to do with apples was cute, but that was what got him to figure this out.]

[latentforlife]

Not that I can remember. Ha. Ha. Ha. But hey, sounds like fun. You know of one?

[reformedsinner]

Ha ha, well, in that case. How about the park? I can be there in ten or fifteen minutes.

It shouldn't take too long, although you're likely to have to practice for a while before you can cast it.
