If you say "oh my god" as a shinki, are you referring to your own god? Do they feel it every time you say that?

If you say it as a god, who are you referring to? Are you talking about a god you really like?

Also, is it normal for shinki to refer to their god by their god name or their whatever name?

What if your shinki form was a toilet or a trash receptacle? What would you do then?

If a god were to pray, who would it be to? Would it be like someone who idolizes a J-Pop star?

These are the important questions.

Do you truly have nothing more pressing to do?

[katanas_and_tea]

This is the most pressing matter to attend to right now.

But in short: No! （＾ν＾）☆

[priforprince]

Don't use facial expressions in written communication.

[katanas_and_tea]

Aw. But why not? Emoji are the perfect way to express emotions through written communication. Sure words can do the job just fine, but emoji lend it that certain flare. (≧∀≦)

[priforprince]

They're the lazy last resort of the incoherent.

Then again, I suppose that makes them a fitting embellissement for this topic.

[ Someone's caterers are late, okay. ]

[katanas_and_tea]

I disagree. I think there is art in selecting the perfect emoji for a specific kind of conversation. Of course they are inappropriate for grave news or serious topics, but when speaking with someone casually, they add a little life! They can be fun and lighthearted!

You should definitely give it a try. It's a new form of socializing. Or so I have read! (*'ω'*)

[priforprince]

I prefer socializing on my own terms.

[katanas_and_tea]

That means I should feel lucky that you decided on your own terms to socialize with me! Perhaps.

[priforprince]

It's more than you deserve.

[ at least you realize this

still, soon as she's home, your doll's going in the idiot box ]

[katanas_and_tea]

oh I am sure it is!

You must be one of the many deities around here.

[Takuma is definitely unimpressed with the ego, but he'll just roll with it and have some fun]

[priforprince]

[ She's suspicious of this sudden subject change - and attitude shift - but he's also saying the kinds of things she likes to hear.

Sort of. ]

What of it?

[katanas_and_tea]

It's very obvious! You have that holy way of speaking--that godly flare. It's impressive that you can keep it up so easily. You're a natural!

[Now he's just teasing]

[priforprince]

[ It beats being emoji'd at, so even if he's being facetious, she will encourage this behavior. Perhaps he will learn to turn the lie into the truth.

Or perhaps she's falling for it hook, line, and sinker. Hard to say. ]

Nobility will out. Be grateful for a chance to learn from my example.

[ The elite do have a duty to shepherd...the, ah, rest of you. ]

[katanas_and_tea]

[Takuma might have more to come back with if he had the memory of actually being nobility in his world. But alas.]

You're willing to teach me the ways of nobility?

[Because how fun would it be to play around with refined things. He's already found out that he has a penchant for nice things. Not that he knows why exactly]

[priforprince]

Why not? You'll never be able to properly imitate them, but if a cat may look at a king, the flea on a monkey pursued by a wildebeest chased by a lion captured by zookeepers can certainly study a god.
