[Takuma propping up his head in his hand with his elbow planted firmly on the table.]

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.

Why would you invoke only one god to begin with?

I don't know exactly, it's just something I've heard on television and videos on social media a lot. Maybe they have picked one god and refer to them.

...Ya know, Ah dunno 'bout them first two. Ah've never really said that before. But, my Shinki's always jus' called me by my name, not my god name. That feels more like a title than anythin'.

[SKIPPING OVER THE TOILET THING]

...Ah ain't thought about if a god prayin' to another is weird. If we hadn't taken down Ashera back in Tellius, maybe so. But...reckon Ah'm not sure if worshippin' one o'chaos an' freedom an' change would be much better.

[Nephenee you can't just mention that you helped take out a god...]

Oh! Could you make bets against each other like if one god fights another god and loses, they have to worship the winner for two weeks? That would be funny.

That'd...be interestin', Ah reckon. Would that make things weird, though? Ah'm still tryin' to figure how gods even work, an' Ah've been one for a month or two...

I don't know. I've never been a god because I'm a shinki. My god doesn't say much, so I don't know if he would answer these questions.

So you're a new god? Hmm...so that means you can figure out how you want to work.

1. I don't say that.
2. Not applicable.
3. I call him by his name.
4. Not applicable.
5. I would assume Amaterasu in these Heavens.

Yeah, Ah...think it was April or May when Ah got here?

[She tilts her helmeted head at that.]

It was fall when Ah got here, in Crimea...it's right confusin'.

[She shakes her head, though, trying to clear it of the rabbit trail it will inevitably go down if she doesn't change subjects.]

How Ah want it to work? Whatcha mean?

You answered this just like a test. ( ´ ▽ ` )☆ I'm impressed at the seriousness.

Why would Amaterasu be more important than another god?

There's nothing impressive about it.
She's the ruler of Japan's Heavens. As all gods are under her she would be the most likely candidate.

I just got here, so I don't know a lot myself.

[He points towards the camera]

Be a god in your own way. However you want to do it. If you want to be a super scary god that collects cursed objects, you can. If you want to be a god that eats doughnuts at least once every day, you could. That kind of thing.

You text the way my god speaks. I think that's impressive enough.

Ooooh. I see! But then can a god answer another god's prayer? How would that work? Can't a god answer their own prayer? Or is it something like a god of death can't answer their prayer if it's about love?

...Ah reckon a god o'hospitality, fertility, crops, war, an' sun wouldn't be that good at collectin' that sort o'thing. An', Ah mean, Ah don't really wanna handle cursed stuff. Seems a bad idea.

..What's a donut?

Who is your god?
It seems as long as it's a prayer, a god can answer it. I've heard of gods of one domain fulfilling prayers of another domain.
If a god makes a prayer, maybe it's just something they can't do themselves.

[Takuma lets out a dramatic gasp. Forget everything else.]

You don't know what a doughnut is?! You must be a god of sadness because they are delicious! You must have one right away!

Oh you have to see him. He goes by D.

[IMG ATTACHMENT: MY GOD D! （＾ω＾）♪]

He looks cool, right?

Anyways, that makes a lot of sense. I couldn't imagine a god of the sea being able to fulfill something that a god of fire could do. I wonder if gods could use that to barter with each other. It's interesting! It makes being a shinki seem a little boring, but I don't think I would want as much responsibility as a god.

Ah..don't think we have them in Tellius. Where do ya even get one?

I haven't met him.
My god is better.

[But she is incredibly biased.]

I like being a shinki. I don't want to be a god.

You can get them at a doughnut shop. They are all over the place. Of course they are best when they are fresh, which means going early in the morning. My god and I had them when we travelled to America. I'm sure we can find a good shop here in Japan.

I think every shinki thinks their god is better. It wouldn't be good to think otherwise.

I haven't been a shinki long enough to say if I like it, but it can't be helped either way. I can enjoy it to the fullest, though.

Well, Ah'm a mornin' person, so that ain't too hard. Ah do runnin' fore the sun gets up.

[She looks away from the screen, a bit flustered if that pink in her cheeks is any indication.]

Um...would ya...maybe like to meet up with me tomorrow an' we can go find some?

[He smiles brightly at the camera then nods.]

That sounds like it will be a lot of fun! First, however, you need my name. It's Takuma Ichijou.

Next, I need your name.

And lastly, we need to pick a place to meet up.

Edited 2017-04-16 04:46 (UTC)

I've been one for months now. I'm happy to be my god's.

[And for some reason, that smile of his makes her feel a little funny. Maybe even blush a little, and flounder for words for a moment. Whhhhy?]

N-nice to meet ya, S-Sir Takuma. M-my name is Nephenee...

Um, do ya want to meet outside o'my temple, or would...somewhere else be better?

That's good.

Do you turn into something cool for him?
