Homeless~

[ibarakasen]

Mundane, I hope you realize keeping me idle here is not going to do anyone good in the long run. Especially since you seem to have no plans now that you finally have given me an outlet to the outside.

I have more important things: like keeping the shrine maiden motivated. And taking care of those Evil Spirits.

...

[Blanching.]

What do you mean my boss would like to talk to me? I don't have a-

[Oh wait.]

No, that doesn't count. And stop saying those things about me.

[This offends like.

Every one of her sensibilities.]

... What a terrible place. She encourages those who would give her faith to fall into a lust-borne oblivion?

[higan_retour]

Yep. But then I don't think she cares about faith as much as she cares about people being as "active" as possible.

[ibarakasen]

... That's suicide for a god.

[higan_retour]

Well, if they get their power that way....

[ibarakasen]

And here I thought gods got their power from faith.

[higan_retour]

So did I, but maybe this is some kind of stretch or variation on it?

[ibarakasen]

[Rubbing her forehead]

At this point, I'm not sure I wish to know further.

[higan_retour]

It's probably best. You should be glad you're not stuck somewhere like that.

[ibarakasen]

... I think you're going to jinx it, shinigami.

[higan_retour]

Er... well, there's always worse places....?

[ibarakasen]

... I fail to see how.

[higan_retour]

Well, there's a place where your a copy of yourself and get incinerated if you leave.... Um... there's places they do weird tests on you, places where they operate on you, was a place they didn't just make you sleep with people, but made you a prostitute....

I can think up more if I have to.

[Yeah she knows it's a losing point.]

[ibarakasen]

Those are hardly 'worse' - merely 'similar in magnitude but fundamentally different'.

[higan_retour]

I guess....

Well, then everywhere is just bad.

[ibarakasen]

So it seems. I am simply going to be as obstinate as I can.

[higan_retour]

Well think of it like this, being somewhere proper is probably better then being here or in "memes".

[ibarakasen]

I elect to be in neither place.

[higan_retour]

Not really your choice sadly.

[ibarakasen]

I can still state my opinion.

[higan_retour]

I won't deny you that. Though... it might be easier to just accept that kind of fate.

[ibarakasen]

Maybe it is, but I've never, and will never, be one to simply accept things as they are, if such a thing is negative and can be changed.

[higan_retour]

Well it doesn't have to be negative. Positive things can be done here too you know. Think of all the people you could enlighten? People who are more likely to listen and change.

[ibarakasen]

Yes, that it can.

[Which is a noncommittal way to say 'I might think about it but I still don't want to']

[higan_retour]

You might just run into familiar faces too.

[ibarakasen]

That almost seems unavoidable, given you've already found me.
