Heaven's BBS | Video (because spelling is hard when you're six)

From: Nanshe
Date: June 18

[ The video opens to Nanako sprawled on her stomach, kicking her feet in the air behind her but her expression is one of serious thought. Although she looks a little shy and uncertain about leaving a message like this, she also looks pretty determined, too. This... hadn't been something she was sure about asking her big brother, so instead she tries here. Maybe that will be easier? Or people will be less quick to guess why she might be asking... ]

Sooo.... this is heaven, right? And where people go after they die?

If someone died a while ago, can you find them here somewhere?

Why don't the gods like going there? What's wrong with it?

Maybe they just haven't gotten here yet. People show up every couple days right? Gods and shinki....maybe there's a super long line or something.

[He hums thoughtfully, crossing his arms.]

This place is pretty big too so maybe you haven't run into them yet. I'll help you look if you want, Nanako!

[ Her expression brightens at that. ]

Really? I'm not sure where to start looking, though. Maybe they really are staying somewhere else...

It doesn't matter where, we can start from anywhere and loop around. At least if you look around lots you can be sure if they're here or not, right?

[ Was it really that easy? She's not sure, but it's at least somewhere to start, right? ]

Okay! Thank you for helping me!

Anytime! I don't think Aymeric will mind if I leave for awhile to help you. Though this place is pretty big so we should probably pack snacks and stuff. Just lemme know when you're free!

[He grins brightly. Hopefully they can find whoever she's looking for. Even if it sounds too easy, it's probably good to try just to be sure.]

I assume because it's not *here*. It's not their home base, where they have the local advantage.

Why do they need an advantage?

[ ...They're gods, right? What more advantage is there? ]

Aymeric?

[ Hey! She knows that name! ]

Is he your god?

I can bring snacks! What do you like to eat?

In case another fight breaks out of course.

[ Now she's even more confused! ]

Who's fighting?

I dunno. Someone who doesn't like Amaterasu, I assume.

Ammy? But she's really nice!

[ You know what else is hard? Technology. Lux is still trying to get a handle on it, so instead of being graced with the shinki's face, Nanako gets a view of a simple glass window. From the looks of things, it appears this is being broadcast from higher up? The second floor maybe? It looks nice at least, with the branches of a nearby tree rustling gently in the early summer breeze.

Ah...

It doesn't take much to be able to figure out what the young god is suggesting, and while she might not be able to see her face, there's a somewhat serene tone to her voice. ]

Is there someone you want to see, Nanako?

Ahuh! My last god disappeared and I got paired up with him. He's really tall and really nice! Oh! Oh! And there's this big white fluffy cat that is great too!

[It's been a good experience so far.]

Uhhh anything really! I like sweets a lot.

It's possible, but highly unlikely. This isn't the only "afterlife" out there, I imagine this world is just one of many that the dead can end up in.

And even if someone you knew did end up here, there's only about a fifty-fifty chance they'd remember you. [Assuming it really is random who gets picked to be a god or a shinki, at least.]

[Oh child...thankfully no photobombing cat but whoa that is a loaded question. Also didn't pay attention to the other replies.]

Who are you trying to find, Nanako?

[ Allen... actually has a different kind of question at that.

One born from the reason why his expression, while gentle, is sober. A little surprised...

..and concerned. ]

Why do you want to find them..?

Sorry to tell you kiddo but her being nice doesn't stop people from hating her.

[ That's upsetting. ]

That's not very nice. Did they try and fight her?

He is really nice, I like him! And his cat, he's the fluffiest! He let me pet him!

[ Nanako was still very impressed by this. ]

I can make some cookies. Do you like chocolate?

[ Fortunately, Nanako is very good at remembering voices, especially when the person had been very nice to her. ]

Lux? I... ah, Maybe?

You mean, there's more than one Heaven?

[ That's troublesome. ]

Ah! It's... it's okay if they didn't remember me. [ Would her mother even recognize her now? She's more grown up. ] I just... wanted to know if they were okay.

[ Her voice is a little shy and subdued at having been caught out so quickly. ]

I... I was just wondering?

[ Yeeeeah, that doesn't sound convincing at all. ]

[ A hesitation from Nanako as she thinks over that answer very seriously. This one was almost easier to answer than the ones asking 'who'. ]

I want to know if they're safe. Or happy.

[ And maybe just to see them one more time, so maybe she could remember better. ]
