Date: July 1

[After making sure that Hibiki is otherwise preoccupied for.... reasons, Wendy takes to the network. Her childish face is clearly strained as she tries to keep a hold of some composure. But this has been bugging her for a while now, and she can't hold back.]

Okay, how many people here really believe that a shinki going nora is some sort of huge sin or personal failing? Relatedly, how stupid are you?

And not related at all, does anyone have any good curses or insults?

….Okay, I’ll admit, I’ve only heard that one as a rumor, but- nothing really hasn’t happened to me. So whatever bad thing happens, it hasn’t.

[mithrarin]

[Dust makes a low, frustrated noises as he drags a hand down his face, almost plaintive. Come on, Wendy.]

Well. I just don't want to hear that you remember your life and it was horrible, all right? Not that I want you to hide it if it was... I just want it not to have been.

[nopixiedust]

...Dust, I'm a little kid and I'm dead.

[Well, not really on the 'little kid' front, but. Amnesia is a motherfucker.]

[mithrarin]

So all we're sure of is that the last part didn't go so well. Not -- all the rest of it.

[nopixiedust]

I guess you have a point.... Well, I guess that's all the more reason not to think too hard about it, huh?

[mithrarin]

At least for some of us. [Dust can't help but be curious -- more than curious, he wants to know who he was. What happened to him.] Sure would have been easier if we were gods, huh?

[nopixiedust]

Memories, worshippers, fancy temples.... Yeah, it would definitely be nice. But I guess there's no way for that to happen, huh?

[mithrarin]

Doesn't seem that way...

[But Dust has to wonder. The heavens here clearly hold a lot of secrets -- could that possibly be one of them?]

[nopixiedust]

If a miracle ever happens, I'll let you know and you can come be my shinki if you like.

[A playful grin- she's pretty sure Dust's new god has been treating him pretty well, although that's just guesswork on her part.]

[mithrarin]

Wouldn't you rather have a shinki whose nails you can paint?

[nopixiedust]

Oh, I'm sure I can find other ways to make you look pretty, don't worry.

[mithrarin]

I'm not sure you'd be the best god to a shinki like me.

[At least he's smiling as he says that.]

[nopixiedust]

What, do you need someone who will help you beat other people up?

[mithrarin]

Well, mostly ayakashi. And people who deserve it. [But yeah. Dust actually has to occasionally restrain Takumi...]

[nopixiedust]

I bet I could do just fine! Especially because there’s a guy I know who’s around here that I hate, and wouldn’t mind seeing him get beat up head over heels.

[Fuck you, Farfarello.]

[mithrarin]

How did you manage to start hating someone around here this quickly?!

[nopixiedust]

Because he's a- !

[Hastily, however, she bites down on her tongue. Wait, no, Hibiki might come across this later. She'd have a conniption if she heard Wendy swear.]

He's a jerk. If I meet him, I'm destroying his knees.

[mithrarin]

I'm not saying I approve of people being jerks, but that's a pretty harsh reaction even so. [Now Wendy is starting to remind him of Takumi. Maybe she SHOULD be his god.]

[nopixiedust]

Trust me, if you'd talked to him more than once, you'd have the same.

[mithrarin]

Probably not to the point of physical harm, though...

[nopixiedust]

I guess... Well, we'll see when you meet him yourself. It's not really important until then.

[mithrarin]

I guess not. Still... [Well, he's worried?]

[nopixiedust]

Don't worry about it. If anything happens, you'll be one of the first to know.

[mithrarin]

Look... [Dust's voice is all faint frustration and a determination to speak nonetheless.] this whole nora thing? Whatever you're thinking, just take care of yourself, okay?

[nopixiedust]

It'll be fine. I'm not going to jump into it with anyone. Whatever I decide to do, I'll be careful with it.

I promise.
