Posted: July 18
From: Li Tieguai

Good afternoon, everyone. Please excuse my change of name: this is Cho Hakkai.

I appear to have reappeared. Although I don't want to give undue hope to anyone who's recently lost a god or shinki, I'd like to announce that my classes will be continuing as usual.

To those who were living upstairs at the school the past few days, I expect you to help me clean up the mess. You know who you are.

[There are animal cracker crumbs everywhere.

And apart from that he's just not going to mention the events of last few days. At least he wasn't an actual child, but....]

Does anyone have an idea what might have caused it? I'm certain I felt something in the air for a few hours before it happened.

[Jeeze Hakkai, give a guy a break. It just seemed the most reasonable thing to do at the time!]

I suppose I could of if it was going to be a longer term situatuion, but I would rather not bother other gods for such a small matter, especially when they have their own matters to deal with. I would prefer to save such requests for larger difficulties then just child rearing for a couple of days.

[reformedsinner]

Well, it's water under the bridge now. I hope he didn't bite anyone!

[nailed_navigation]

He only bit the hand that fed him, and it is a payment for all the teasing that has been passed around. Kuraha is back to his normal self and doing quite well, maybe a little more fiesty then normal but that is to be expected.

[reformedsinner]

Ah, all that kittenhood energy has to go somewhere!

And her other shinki?

[nailed_navigation]

I am still doing my rounds with all of Viina's noncombant shinki, but according to my reports everyone else is doing very well and had enjoyed the temporary shifting in ages. I hope that your household is doing just as great.

[reformedsinner]

We've all recovered, although with the change happening so soon after my shinki's arrival, I'm afraid there's some catching up to do.

[Buying her a proper wardrobe, for example. Discouraging her from going outside wearing his shirts and no pants.]

[nailed_navigation]

If you are need of some additional services I doubt that Viina would object if we send over some help. Is there something in particular that you would be needing some help with?



[Hey- I'm sure that there are some spare clothes somewhere in storage that could fit her, and hey- free clothes are always a good thing, right?]

[reformedsinner]

[The shopping trip is already very firmly scheduled for the morning, but--]

I may take you up on that, Kazuma, thank you. I'll have to speak with Ayumu first.

[nailed_navigation]

[Does that mean that the evening and afternoon are free? As long as a message is given ahead of time then Kazuma could have a whole selection of robes and spare clothes and trinkets laid out ahead of time.]

By all means. I am sure that Viina would enjoy spending some additional time with you, while I help Miss Ayumu.

[reformedsinner]

I could certainly use some advice on how to make the best of my new position, and Lady Bishamon is an excellent model to follow.

[nailed_navigation]

I can not deny that, in my honest opinion there are a few gods that could beat her in rank.

[reformedsinner]

Are there? Amaterasu, of course, I suppose. Suijin, Raijin and Fuujin....

[nailed_navigation]

There are the other Gods of Fortune to keep in mind as well. Benzaiten, Daikokuten, Ebisu, Fukurokuju, Hotei, and Jurōjin.

[reformedsinner]

I see. I haven't had the opportunity to meet any of them yet. I suppose they're busy with the mortal world.

[But he may have to keep an eye out, if they're also important figures in the Heavens. Failure to engage with the newcomers doesn't mean they aren't useful contacts, after all.]

[nailed_navigation]

With all the upheavals, it only makes sense as to why some of the older gods find it difficult to greet some of the newer reincarnations. If there was one thay I would suggest contacting, it would Ebisu, but unfortunately he has just been reincarnated as well.

[reformedsinner]

Has he? My goodness.

[It's something he'd heard from Yukine, months ago now; but that isn't something he feels like admitting so obviously on the network.]

That explains why he's not greeting us...
