I know that adjusting to a new name is a serious undertaking for most people, but the common use of an individual's god name does not seem to be wide spread. Admittedly, my sample size is still relatively small, but most of the other gods I have met thus far have introduced themselves with their mortal names first, and then given their god name second. Is this because many have not yet adjusted to the new name, or are we not supposed to use our god names?

I'm making the adjustment myself, and I think it would be easier if I was a little more informed about what my relationship with my god name is meant to be. I, personally, am perfectly comfortable with dropping my old title in favor of Hermes, but if it's something meant for followers only, I can adjust my expectations accordingly.

I didn't think you would cut it, I just haven't had anyone play with my hair before. Well, not since I was small.

[birdstheword]

....Really?

[birdstheword]

youre missing out then! you gotta let me now! come on!

[mybadhabit]

I. Well I guess. I can't think of a good reason why I should say no...

[birdstheword]

are you trying to think of a good reason to say no?
booooooo! Heremes-kun Boo!

what are you worried for? itll be fun! ill even make some snacks or something! what do you like to eat?

[mybadhabit]

I'm just a little uncertain about having someone I can't see touch me. Letting people get close to me is not something I'm used to doing.

I like strawberries. Strawberry mochi is best, in my opinion.

[birdstheword]

[OH RIGHT]

It's me! Hajime! You came to the pool party at my house, remember!! See me now?

Im not going to do anything bad to you, Hermes-kun!

I'll get some then! Maybe it'll help you R&R

[mybadhabit]

No, I know it's you. It's that you'll be behind me when you're playing with my hair that makes me nervous. I don't think you would hurt me, but I have not let my guard down in a long time.

[birdstheword]

We can sit in front of the stand up mirror in my room if you want and lock the doors??????? if that helps??

[mybadhabit]

If you're so determined, that could be acceptable. The doors don't need to be locked though, I am fast enough to deal with any threats.

It's not that I don't trust you. I don't trust anyone.

[birdstheword]

I dont think theres anyone to threaten you at my place. did you meet someone here that you dont see eye-to-eye with?

But if you don't trust anyone then you don't trust me. I'm Hajime but im part of anyone right?

[mybadhabit]

Technically, yes, but I can handle him.

[How does he put this delicately?]

I've been a professional bodyguard for many years now. I am conditioned to expect threats at all times. When I said that it's not that I don't trust you, what I mean is that it's not anything that you have done to cause my distrust. I simply don't trust anyone on principle.

[birdstheword]

who's him? there's lots of those here.

[Is it Sho? Surely Sonic and him would have gotten along? Maybe?]

I get it! So that means we can still be friends!

[mybadhabit]

The toaster. Genis or whatever his name is. It's that G poster further up on this thread. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And a little bit Saitama, but that's different. That's personal. He's my rival.

Friends. I guess.

[birdstheword]

You mean Genos! He seemed pretty nice to me!

Saitama-san too! He's a hero! Are you a hero too, Hermes? Ninja assassin bodyguard hero?

Hermesssss you can't guess about stuff like that! Its important. We're friends. Even if you can't trust me, I'll trust you, okay?

[mybadhabit]

As far as I'm concerned, Genos is an obnoxious buttsmear who can go fly a kite in a thunderstorm. He may be nice to you, but he's been completely unreasonable towards me.

No. Dear god no. I'm better than all those fake professional heroes. I'm a freelancer.

I don't remember the last time I had a friend, so forgive me for not knowing protocol. ρ(￣ﾍ￣ ﾒ)

[birdstheword]

Maybe you haven't given him enough of a chance. Have you done anything to him before?

You can still be a freelancer and a hero. You don't need to be one or the other! Anyone can be a hero!

Its okay! I'll help you! ♫
thats what friends are for!!!

[mybadhabit]

No. I mean yes, but also no. He started it. I just wanted to fight Saitama, because that's what you do when you're rivals, and he just starts in on this nonsense about how I'm not good enough for Saitama. He hasn't even met me at this point, and he's decided this.

He called me a perverted stalker, Hajime. I am neither of those things.

I'm not interested in being a hero of any sort. If someone else looked up to me and considered me their hero, that would be different, but I don't care enough about strangers to risk my life for them.

Hooray. ヽ(´ー`)ﾉ
