From: Oscar | Lugh
Date: May 9th

[The feed opens up with Oscar chilling out by the lake on his temple grounds. Even over video, it's clear the poor boy is feeling a bit awkward right now.]

So...I've been here for a few months now. And I'm somehow getting more people who want to follow Lugh--that's me, I guess--but I don't really know what I'm doing to make them want to do that. I'm just...answering a few prayers here and there? Is that really all it takes to be a god in this world? There's not anything else to it?

[He sighs, a little frustrated.]

I guess what I'm asking is how do you be a god, here?

reloves

From: Minako
Date: May 1st

Um.. hey!

[ Although Minako smiles, there's something a bit muted about her. If not just for the fact that the volume of her voice currently isn't rupturing your eardrums right away with the greeting. ]

I thought I should let everyone know, since a lot of people know her.. But it's probably going to be difficult to reach Zelda for a while. Because she's asleep! And, you know, not just "doesn't want to get up in the morning" asleep. More like.. "sudden spring hibernation" sleep? Which is something that.. sometimes happens, I guess!

[ It's fine. This is fine. It's fine! See, she's smiling. Totally cool. ]

I guess.. until she wakes up, I'm going to try and take care of Metis temple affairs. [ Sure, Natsuru is there too, but Minako is the Exemplar! Not to mention Minako does have a natural leader sense - despite her lack of memories - and a huge sense of responsibility. It comes natural to try and take the whole world on her shoulders if needed. ] So if you need anything.. just let me know instead!

.. yeah, that's all. Thanks for listening, everyone!

Okay, which one of you did it? I know it had to be someone.

[Was not aware he had made an enemy at some point to curse him like this.]

It's very funny [Not really actually. This is quite possibly the strongest insult to his moral demon code.] but just turn it back now, alright?!

((Somebody got two feathery problems and not the energy to deal with it.))

What do you believe are the necessary qualities to have in a good leader?

From: Romeo
Date: 14th April

[Romeo is sat crossed legged on his bed, his phone propped up against a pile of books. He is in what seems to be his bedroom, on the wall behind him there are pictures stuck to the wall. Many of them childish drawings of people and places in the heavens. Some of much better quality are most likely gifts he has recieved off his friends. He is holding a soft toy and he is playing with it's ears as he waits for the camera to load properly.

Last time he had had big questions filling his head he had asked them on the BBS and got some very good answers, so it seemed like the best thing to do now that he had more.]

Hello everyone! It's Romeo again! So last night I had a dream, 'cept it wasn't a normal dream it was a memory from when I was alive.

[He knows he needs to be careful! That talking about this could be dangerous for him and for other people.] Don't worry! I'm not trying to push my head and remember more things and I spoke to Elfnein about the important bit.

[The important bit being Alfredo. His friend. The brave boy with the kindest smile and the strongest heart who had swore eternal friendship to him.]

But I got... Some questions I guess because I remembered things and I didn't know them or I did but I forgot and it's a bit confusing.

[Like the volcano had been confusing. When everything Romeo thought he knew was slightly off and the world was all a bit more complicated and scarier than he thought. He punched the air, keeping his spirits up.]

Did you know you could buy kids?

Posted: 9th April

[ The video starts with the relaxing and refreshing (oh how refreshing it is) view of the evening Hawaiian beach. A moment after Caster comes into the picture- clad in gaudy Hawaiian shirt, hair let loose like usual. There might be a glimpse of few beer cans around, well- vacations right? ]

Yo! Nothing like vacations to finally bring an issue up, eh? See- it seems that there’s been plenty of “mistaken identity” cases recently. Once, twice it might happen, but any more times and some people might find it annoying.

[ That’s where Caster drags into picture Berserker. And since he is also clad in a Hawaiian shirt (as opposed to usual spiky armor), with his mullet let loose, the resemblance between the two is now incredibly more uncanny. Of course few “spot the difference” make it easier to tell them apart. Berserker’s red face tattoos for one. Caster’s hair appears to be a shade lighter. Not to mention Berserker seems to be kind of bulkier build. Still, they could be twins. ]

See, my fellow here, Berserker, he finds it very annoying. [ Emphasis on "very" ]

Just to remember: He’s not exactly me. I’m not exactly him! It’s really rude to mix people up. [ Caster is too amused to sound like he’s truly chastising anyone. ]

Rude and foolish. [ Berserker crosses his arms over his chest. Even in his ridiculous shirt, he’s still surly as ever. ] Now you’ve seen us together, you can stop confusing us.

[ His lip curls back to show sharp teeth, a strange smile. ]

We’re not twins...I’m feeling generous today. Ask us anything, just say which one you’re asking.

[ Nothing like volunteering someone for questioning! ]

[He's been going back and forth over this question in his head. How much he feels comfortable just asking about it.]

If someone's cursed when they're alive, would it follow them after death?

How would they know if they're cursed?

[If no one he met here commented on it, maybe he's fine?]

We understand that it is difficult to bear the unexpected loss of gods and shinki to whom you are attached. However, please bear in mind that we, too, find these disappearances to be a tragic mystery.

To clarify: I cannot bring back those that you may have lost.

Any violence against my home or my shinki will be met with a proportionate response.

We would like to ask if anyone is willing to accept responsibility for the shinki who calls himself "Sha Gojyo," as the god who we know to be his is no longer among us.

From: Jakob

It has come to my attention that the god Henir, otherwise known as Add, has sown chaos during my absence. As his shinki I deeply apologize for any damage he has caused, and would personally like to make reparations to the affected parties. You may reach me at [ IC Contact ] at any time.

Of course, I will personally investigate these claims before taking action, but rest assured that I will do my utmost to prevent any further trouble.

[ Or at least he’ll try to keep the damages to a minimum. ]

Date: December 17

------------------------------

[The video opens up to Chikusa, clearly walking along a street with street lamps and the warm glow of various storefronts going past him. He keeps the camera focused on his face, delivering his words in the usual blank monotone.]

So... A lot of stuff has happened recently. It's been troublesome... So, to help bring peace and whatever back to the household... Hakkai is taking us all to an all you can eat buffet sort of place.

[He carefully turns his camera around, focusing on what's ahead of him. Or, rather, the people walking ahead of him: Cho Hakkai leading at the very front, the scruffy headed Sha Gojyo close besides them as the two talk about whatever, Goku nearly right behind, and Ken behind him. Ken in particular seems to be switching from looking back at Chikusa as if to make sure that he hasn't lost him and exchanging indistinct bickerings with Goku. After making sure he's gotten a decent enough shot, Chikusa turns the camera back around to focus on his face.]

...I once saw Goku and Ken go through an entire pot of pasta. Each. And were still hungry.

( so it's going to be that kind of night )

From: Ksitigarbha Date: November 25 (Backdated 3 days)

Yo. Took long enough, huh? Nearly two months if you count it one way, month and a half the other way.

Anyway I'm over at my temple if you were looking for me that whole time. Sorry to keep you waiting. That's all I wanted to say.

[ A little cryptic, but he's not a particularly open person over technology, especially in light of how he died, and being pretty sure the guy's still around.

OOC: Pair log over here if you're interested. ]

Who: Chikusa Kakimoto
When: October 2

-----

[For a good long while, Chikusa honestly doesn't realize that something wrong is necessarily happening. He's already been having difficulty with his memories and emotions starting yesterday, when he recalled Ken's..... everything. Adding in whatever nonsense is coming through the tears, and he's even more of a mess.]

[But when he does snap out of it, and sees the tears which have become scattered across the Far Shore... He immediately gets out his phone.]

I recognize what these distortions are. [And in case anyone has somehow missed them, don't worry- Chikusa is diverting the phone for a second to show one off. He is keeping his distance.] Someone named Add is responsible. He's the only one with the skillset to mess with time and space.

[He's actually guessing on this part, but he's pretty sure he's also completely right. Chikusa is kind of pissed, and it might actually be coming through his low quiet voice, for once.]

If you haven't met him.... He's 180 centimeters tall, light build, near white hair, pink eyes, a tattoo on the left side of his face.

He's attacked me before... and almost killed someone. He's clearly out of control.... and needs to be gotten rid of permanently.

[If there's anything else Chikusa could add to this little PSA, he doesn't get a chance. There's a revolting sound, and he swears under his breath in Italian. The camera jerks sharply, catching just the briefest blur of a corrupted Noise Ayakashi... and then the video goes out.]

Has anyone else been disappointed by what power they got by stepping foot into here? Glad that I got to keep everything else I had, but still, nothing about it feels that godlike at all.

[Like everything else, it made him feel even less like a demon.]

I just wonder how everyone else tries to work around it.

Good evening everyone. I've been talking to a few people for advice about what to do in my spare time around here and getting a job of some sort came up a few times.

So I'd like to announce that if you have a need I will be offering my services as a delivery driver and courier in both the Near and Far Shores. I can ferry people as well, but not in large numbers. I'll be sure to keep prices reasonable considering our natures, but I will also ask for more for any more dangerous jobs.

If anyone knows of a good way to promote my services on the Near Shore side, please let me know.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me here or directly.

----------

I finished deciphering the data I collected last month. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, my detailed findings can be found here.

The coordinates within the portal turned out to be a bit more complicated than I was expecting. I was only able to complete a partial scan at the time, but I've already identified well over 100 vastly different spacetime coordinates within the data. It's possible that my Dynamo suffered an undetected malfunction during the scan due to the disruptions in spacetime, but it would be incredibly unlikely to see such clear and varied results due to an error. The more likely explanation is that the portal leads to a space connected to multiple dimensions at once, causing my Dynamo to pick up on numerous coordinates simultaneously.

Unfortunately, this means it's difficult to determine what coordinates belong to the "hub" dimension, let alone where any of the other coordinates go. Dimensional travel of this scale is also beyond what I'm used to. I'm working on adapting my technology to be able to visit or remotely scan these dimensions more efficiently, but using my current methods it would still take a miracle to find any of the places or people I'm looking for, not to mention an absurd amount of energy for even a single trip.

So what I'd like to know is, who here is familiar with interdimensional travel and open to the possibility of collaborating?

More specifically, I'm looking for anyone who has experience with initiating travel or observation between separate dimensions and/or setting the coordinates. Technological methods are preferred, but I'm willing to try and work with magic if I have to. That includes any gods whose domain might include something like this, even in an abstract sense. I'll take whatever I can get, provided it's of use to me.

How would you define the word monster?

[A few recent conversations have gotten her thinking about certain things and she's genuinely curious about the answers she might get. Cardia is well aware that there are a few people who do know her secret and could probably guess that this is from her. But she's not brave enough to ask something like this without anonymity to hide behind.]

Here’s a question for you all: what do you think about death?

Considering the recent murders, I’d say it’s something to think about, isn’t it?

It truly brings in the question of whether or not death plays a relevant role here. People seem to be able to come back to life, but seems to go from god to shinki or even shinki to god. Regardless of the reason for the change in reversal, it seems that one element in particular remains missing: memories.

I’m curious as to why memories seem to be the important element in deciding between a god and a shinki aside from the obvious.

So, here’s another question: how many of you were previously shinki who became a god? If you don’t remember your time as a shinki, would you want those memories back?

Hey! Um... so I've been thinking about this for a couple of days, but I heard....

[He trails off before regrouping. He should've rehearsed this before he started recording it, but he's got no idea how to go back and delete and re-record now. Onward!]

I heard I used to be a god! I mean, I don't remember, obviously, but if I really was, I guess I should say I'm sorry. And I look forward to meeting you all again. And, um.

[Really should have rehearsed.]

I don't owe anybody money, right?

[He laughs uncomfortably and rushes ahead.]

-- Anyway I guess that's about it! Nice to meet you all again! Sorry I forgot!

[Nailed it. Before he can think better of this whole idea, he hastily stops the recording and hits send.]

eternalshield

From: Hebe Date: July 13, 2016 It's Zeno's first time posting to the BBS! Because Zeno's been called out! It looks like it happened here in this post but let Zeno know if it happens anywhere else, all right? Such as this one right here. On the one hand, it's good to leave a note like this where it's easy to see, since Zeno forgets sometimes that you can use your voice on these phones. On the other, Zeno has no guarantee it's the same person who picks up the response! It might be more than one, even a whole group. Considering that first question about gods dying, Zeno actually begins to doubt if this was a person at all. Having met fish ayakashi before, has an ayakashi ever been known to possess a BBS? Zeno wonders, since going to meet this person did end with something failing to attack Zeno.[He's actually quite certain this individual is an individual, probably a god or shinki of some description, but throws a little smoke in the air anyway. It might make the person underestimate him a little bit more, if they think he's completely wrong.] Whatever the case, please be careful when you're talking to strangers who have something to hide! Of course we all hide things, and some of us are really good at it or really need to do it for a good reason, but if it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck and it goes against your better judgment, maybe stay away from the redwood forest. ETA: Also, also! Congratulations to any new couples from Tanabata!
