ok so
ive been thinking about this for a while but how exactly the fuck does this whole belief to god system work here anyway
i mean we have gods here that nobody except ancient history nerd basement cultists should be worshipping
riding high when some of the big names are spectacular only in their absence
and then theres the question of what bar you have to pass to be considered a god
like where the fuck are our incarnations of the flying spaghetti monster and ceiling cat
or less tragically dated memes
come on people they have religious texts too

[He's been relearning meme culture since he rediscovered it, someone stop him.]

i guess im not that faithful a person because the whole thing seems like grade a spun bullshit to me
but maybe someone can make more sense out of this most gordian of knots

discuss

Flying spaghetti monster and ceiling cat? Those are real god names?

[She has no idea what a meme is.]

Are you saying there are books in the library about the gods the shinki serve here?

[redotiertwo]

i mean theyre the names of gods who have religious texts of their own
however unserious and literal rewrite of the bible they might be

should be
most of them havent been worshipped widely since fuck million years ago but thats why history exists

[pure_radiantics]

I feel bad for mentioning this but you seem to know a lot of words I don't... are they words from another language, or an accent maybe?

[How an accent would work over text, she has no idea, but she's only halfway literate on technology after all.]

[redotiertwo]

which words
if its the swearing you might want to open that dialogue with the nearest responsible adult
or maybe your god
assuming they dont suck

[pure_radiantics]

Well... no, I didn't mean the swearing. I just don't like using those words myself.

[Princess... and Disney... yeah.]

And my god is very nice to me, thank you.

[redotiertwo]

fair
i use them pretty much all the time so you know
parental advisory explicit content

i mean most gods seem to be good people but there are some pretty colossal fucksticks
have to account for the outliers

[pure_radiantics]

Can I ask... why you like using them? It can make it harder to understand you, like when you just said those colossal... things. I like making sure I can understand what new friends are saying.

I'm glad your god's not mean to you anyway. It sounds like?

[redotiertwo]

feels natural i guess
its just how i talk couldnt really give reasoning courtesy of all memories prior to this place flying the coop
youre definitely not alone in the having trouble understanding me bar

nah hajimes cool
worst thing she does is overdose me on hugs

[pure_radiantics]

Oh Hajime!

[Well that certainly makes 'overdose on hugs' entirely believable.]

I met her not too long ago, and Yuto too. I'm glad you have them around. They're very nice.

[Makes her wonder if Hajime can understand this way of talking better.]

[redotiertwo]

yeah him too he sure is
a guy that also exists in this temple
hajime has to be up there in the area of best gods you could get landed with though so i consider myself lucky there

[pure_radiantics]

You don't see Yuto as a friend, the way you do Hajime?

[He certainly spoke in nicer ways about her, if she's reading this right.

She keeps realizing just how many multi-shinki groups out there don't get along as well as she and Roxas's shinki do. Is it because of Sora's proximity?]

[redotiertwo]

we didnt meet that long ago
and also hes really fucking uptight and takes everything approximately ten thousand times too seriously
i respect that he wants the best for hajime as well but like
damn he needs an emergency operation on that stick up his ass

[pure_radiantics]

... I'm sorry that you see him that way. He strikes me more as just being a little shy and not knowing about some things and less sure about asking for help. At leas you were willing to talk to strangers this openly - that's admirable too. I hope you both can be friends soon. If you want we could try to all hang out together sometime.

[redotiertwo]

no offense but shy my ass
introverted sure but the kind of wrong foot we got off on doesnt really lend itself to shy people
i think hajimes going to try the hanging out together with us thing first honestly but im not enough of a dick to turn it down if others want to try i guess

[pure_radiantics]

Oh, well... At least Hajime's trying then. That sounds like her. I hope things turn around, though. I think it makes things more difficult for a god when their shinki don't get along.

[Thinking very much of Sora right now.]

[redotiertwo]

nah its cool we can like
sort of feign getting along when it comes to stuff for hajime
other than that all bets are off though
