I didn't do any sins!
But I'm crying because Dedue is talking about the genocide of his country.
And I'm watching My Neighbor Totoro.
I'm okay. R u?

[ Well that explains a lot doesn't it. Explains his desire to lie around on a deck chair. ]

I know you didn't.
You don't have to worry about me.
Do you need to talk about it?

[BLUHHHHH]

You sound like Klaus.
I don't know what to say.
Why do people suck?
I don't really mean that.
Except a little.
But I know why.
I just hate how hard it is to fix.
I hate seeing people in agony.
Kind of weird for a weapon.

I'm okay. Sorry for the hassle.

We should see if we can make a greenhouse here.

I wish I could offer some big answer on that.
But I don't have one.
Humans are by nature, for the most part, good.
It can be easy to lose sight of that.
But I can promise you that much.

I also hate to hear of human suffering.
You're human.
Human feelings are expected, even encouraged because we need people to guide us.
That's how it's always been.

Don't worry about it.
It's something all gods have to bear.

Sounds stupid. Like a shitty system that should get remade.

[At least he is calmed down now, just grumpy and his usual feral mode.]

The link between us?
I don't mind it.
I think it's meant to keep you safe from wicked gods who would hurt you.

No, I'm grateful for it!
Humans being shitty to each other. And gods just having to bear it, same as humans. And that fucking up is part of being human.

I'm going to make some greenhouse blueprints and send to Teyrey to see if she can improve on it. Not that the Captain will do it, but it would make Dedue happy.

Unfortunately, just like good people are necessary, so are bad ones.
Ugh that sounds like something she would say.
That's why some of us have horrible dispositions.
Things people tend not to like. Like Kofuku.
But someone wishes someone else would be financially ruined someday and there she was.

I like all manners of life.
A greenhouse is a very nice idea...even though that's really not my area.

That sounds stupid too. But I don't want her to not exist. It's not her fault people are stupid.

Dedue loves plants. He could use something to cheer him up. I'm not sure cutting up flowers from hawaiian shirts would count, but maybe? It's the thought, right? And it would make for good landing surface.

I will take a picture of my idea and send it to you and you can help me improve it too God, thanks! :)

We don't have much to do with how the world works really, we're all just a part of it in our own ways.

I'm not sure about that one.
What would you make with all the flowers?
If only there was a loom.

Sure, I don't mind looking at it.

Even Amaterasu?

A field. Even if it's cloth, I don't like relying on petitions to someone else to grant my prayers, sorry, even now, I think humans should do what they can to bring about the kind of world they want to see.

You can make cloth? That's really cool. We should get an art studio to make all kinds of things too.

Thanks God. ♥

Probably. She looks after Heaven, it's not like she can do much else, far as I know.

It probably couldn't hurt.
It's the thought that counts.

I can work a loom, yes. I made all of our clothing for the meeting we attended in Heaven. I can also knit, and make wool...I've been alive a long time.

Makes sense, weirdly.

You're so cool! We should get a crafts room here. And a kiln. A workshop. But you'd have to convince Friday it's for vacation purposes I think. I can't do anything useful like that. But Mai Mizusaki is a seamstress. Weird princess. But she is from the 21st century.

Edited Date: 2022-12-16 09:20 am (UTC)

Seamstresses still exist, it's just they have more modern technology than the old fashioned loom I know how to use.

I guess there's something to be said for new tech. I just don't have any.

I can also do math. That's never come in handy really ever, but I can do it.

Makes sense. Mai is from the 21st century. She rescued me via wormhole. I gave her a position as a princess, but she said she wanted to keep working. Isn't that funny?

Why not?

Is math unusual?

I couldn't say, I've never met a princess before. Maybe they all work.

I don't have any money, and I don't steal things.

Seems to be kinda rare among people. Not a lot of people find it easy I guess? I've never had a problem with it. Just something I picked up over time.

No, most of princesses are pretty lazy. They're like, "My job is to look cute and make people protect me." Or they practice arts like music and singing or painting. And board games.

I would help you, but luckily there's no money here, so you should be fine.

Makes sense. Hideyoshi would be the only one of my generals back home who might have a hard time with it, but he has Mitsunari, so it would never be necessary for him.

I've definitely never met any then. As far as I know teenage girls spend their time watching martial arts videos.

[ To be fair he only really knows one. ]

I mean, it's probably not necessary for me either. Like I said, I've never really used it. The only skill I have that I need is fighting.

That sounds awesome. Oichi would do that. But I cannot imagine Mai Mizusaki doing that when she was younger. She's too soft-hearted.

There's probably a way to make aiming like math. I will work on thinking of it as angles and precision turns

I've got a lot of time, I'll find a way to practice. I had this toy I used when I got Kazune. Ranged fighting is pretty awesome in its own way. It's what I needed to face my father.

What does your father use?

Nora is a monk's staff, but that's not what's wrong with it. She's problematic. She can break a shinki's name through contact. So cutting her is out of the question.

How?

It can wait if it's secret until/unless she shows up here, but you're right, seems the best thing to do then is battle with long range weapons and attack him directly. Although from fighting Kennyo, I can say even that might be difficult. I wonder if my burning bullets wouldn't also be dangerous though -- if she blocked any of them.

Father calls it liberation. You are a different case, you know your history and your name, but my shinki usually do not and when they learn such a thing they find their worst emotions tied into the past they don't remember and usually they turn into a malevolent spirit.

I know those things about my shinki and it is a secret from them, but her skills are not a secret in themselves.

I understand completely.

It sounds like how many reacted to Skulduggery's black binder, upon hearing that they are copies of themselves, and can't go back to their timelines. Most people don't handle it very well. Myself and Siffleur are among the very few who see extra lives to experience, chances to die and be reckless and live again, as a good thing, not torment.

But I think for the teenagers it's usually a lot harder, because their lives are more filled with potential, and less with the experience of having spent those years struggling against time itself.

That might help you a lot here. Then again, it might be extra tricky for you too, if even Gods don't know how to handle shinki's existential crises. It will definitely be important to think about, because it is probably a big reason so many feel trapped here, even if freedom could be gained simply by inverting their expectations of fate or life.
