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?

Are you looking for someone in particular, Nanako?

[Leo is being very gentle because....he can guess why she's asking]

[ shhhh, she's totally being subtle here, Leo. ]

I... I was just wondering?

Well...I think this is a different part of heaven than where most of the dead souls go. I handle some of those souls as Odin, and I've never seen them here.

[Is any of this true? Maybe not but it's a more delicate way to handle this and that is all anyone can ask for with Leo]

[ A puzzled frown, because she hadn't realized that there were more parts than what she'd seen so far. ]

Do you know where that other part is?

I don't, Nanako, I'm sorry.

If they didn't become a god or shinki, I doubt you'll find them here.

[Pure and simple.]

[ While she manages to read the text alright, it still takes her a while to successfully write out a reply. ]

Why not?

Have you met anyone here that's NOT a god or shinki?

Oh.

[ It's obvious that's not the answer she was hoping for.

But after a flicker of disappointment, she still manages to muster a smile for him in gratitude. ]

It's okay. I can just keep looking. Thank you, though.

Who are you looking for? Perhaps I can help.

I'm not sure this is heaven.

[ She has to think about that for a minute. ]

Well. There are animals, I guess. But no, there should be lots, right? Where are they, then?

[ She hesitates, because admitting that out loud...

Finally, she sighs, ducking her head. ]

My mom.

[ She blinks in surprise. ]

It's not?

Nanako... Did you ask your brother about this? He might have a good answer too.

I donno, I think they'd be a shinki then, right?

[Goten isn't sure. All he's met are gods, shinki and various animals...and a cloud]

Who are you looking for? Have you tried looking around or calling out their name?

I see. Then I'll keep an eye out for her. I imagine she looks a lot like you?

People die all the time. If they all came here it'd be overrun. Obviously the people in charge - Bishamon's and Amaterasu's bosses - are picking their favorites. That's how cute little girls like you got picked.

[He can't figure any other reason someone like him could ascend to godhood as well as a tiny kid. Someone's got a sick sense of humor.]

Where else they go... well, not even the gods like going there, I hear.

[ Nanako makes a face. ]

I... think so? I don't remember her very well. She had long hair though.

[ Anything she'd been about to ask gets derailed by that latter part. ]

But heaven's supposed to be nice!

[There's a soft chuckle, even though he realizes this means she was very young when her mother died, younger than she is now]

I see. I'll keep an eye out for her, Nanako.

[ Nanako looks a little embarrassed. ]

No, I... I was just wondering.

You tell 'em!

[Sure, he doesn't think this is heaven, but it's not like the big wigs will listen to her.]

Gods might listen to other gods, unlike shinki.

[Oh look he's lying about being a shinki, must be a day that ends in Y.]

Maybe? But there are more people who have died than there are shinki, right?

[ Didn't there have to be? There were a lot of people in the world. ]

[ Her smile is a bit more genuine this time. ]

Okay! Thank you. I'll keep looking, too. Maybe I'll find her somewhere else.
