From: Demyx
Posted: July 13th

[ As the feed clicks on, it shows a young man with totally stylish and gravity-defying dirty blond hair in a black cloak sitting in some kind of papasan-style chair with an acoustic guitar in his lap. Demyx lazily plucks away at it, strumming out what sounds loosely like Modest Mouse’s “Float On”. ]

So, I finally did it!

[ Pausing from his strumming, he holds his wrist up the camera way too closely, turning it this way and that. ]

Look! See? No more name! Which means no more god. And no more work, no more training... which means no more gross sweating. Ew.

[ Seriously, call him when it’s winter, please. He pulls a face, but then sits back again and resumes strumming, picking back up where he left off. ]

Bishamonten says I’ve gotta get a new one, but maaaan... [ He sighs heavily, shoulders slumping. ] I just don’t wanna, yanno?

[ In truth, he’s still a little bummed that Riku basically shot him down. Now there was a god he could’ve gotten behind! But, oh well. He’s not going to mention that, or let it weigh on him much. Just means more vacation time for him, right? Right! Except... ]

But she says if I don’t do it myself they’ll just stick me with someone again. Someone who might not like me, like last time.

Man... can’t I just like, hang out here and play music, and not do combat stuff? I’m totally not comfortable with it anyway...

You're gonna get eaten by an ayakashi.

I don't think you can really escape doing combat stuff in the end.

[But this...sounds like a high-maintenance shinki, doesn't it?]

Besides, training isn't so bad.

[Izuku sure remembers him. The one who liked food.]

I'm sure there are gods out there that don't do much combat. But it's a good idea to be able to protect yourself.

Practicin' hard, huh? Sounds good!

[Barry grins into the feed, nodding for a moment before his expression turns more serious.]

You probably don't gotta fight if ya don't wanna, but not havin' a god at all is pretty dangerous, y'know.

Did you not like your god, sir?

[ ....D2 is not impressed with you, Demyx. ]

You should have a god, if only for your own safety and stuff. And if it's training and stuff I can train with you. Sweating isn't gross, by the way. Everyone sweats.

Son, you gotta work someways to make a livin', even if you're happenin' to be dead. Find some god you get along with an' you can agree on good terms with.

[chickshades]

theres probably some prayers about music you could answer

[dominatriarch]

I see you've decided to ask to be released.

[ Well, that's one less nora on the market at least. Hopefully that should get him to think twice about it. ]

If it's any consolation, I don't expect all of my shinki to fight. Some of them aren't suited for it. Though I am relieved you took my advice.

[ Uh-oh. ]

You're... not worried about getting attacked?

[ Survey says: no. Actually, she's probably a hundred times more worried than Demyx is. ]

Our destinies are filled with mystery as well as pleasure and woe. You may find yourself with one suited to your desires or you may not. You may find one you are displeased with who will bring out your true potential and lead you to where it is you were meant to.

Be it destiny, or your own doing, you will find your place in the afterlife, of this I am certain. If you are strong enough, reach out and choose your own god.

[Says the man shot down a few times now.]

Tempting fate, flaunting you don't have a god and all.
