New muse! Voicetesting.

Well that's one way to get out of work... not like I needed another one, but it's nice. Thanks.

But are you really sure you're not isolating yourself? That's only going to lead you to death, you know.

One should not avoid work simply because one can. It leads nowhere quickly and simply causes issues for those around you.

[ferriedmemories]

I-It's not like I can do anything about that here.

[yamaxanadu]

Just because there is not much you can do in this situation, does not mean you should encourage it. But, as long as you understand that I will let this instance slide.

[ferriedmemories]

O-of course.

He's got plans for me later that involve another job, and I'll be sure to do that.

[If only because of the penalties.]

[yamaxanadu]

Good, please put your best effort into that one. You are fully capable of being exceptional, which is what makes it frustration when you don't put any effort into the things you do.

[ferriedmemories]

Right...

And I'll be sure to collect whatever I can.

[yamaxanadu]

What is this potential job for you anyway?

[ferriedmemories]

I'd be teaching. But the way he makes it sound, it'd be less important than fighting, based on how much money you get.

[yamaxanadu]

Are the only choices fighting and teaching? That seems a strange society.

[ferriedmemories]

Everything revolves around the schools there, I guess. Even the fighting.

[yamaxanadu]

Then wouldn't that make a teacher more important?

[ferriedmemories]

Not when you get almost a whole week's worth of pay from teaching in one battle.

[forgottenmagia]

If isolation is the outcome, then I'm sure many of them are alone. Unity in separation.

[ferriedmemories]

Well, they can't really be together if they're apart, right? They're not really seeing each other.

[forgottenmagia]

Seeing can be a figurative word.

[ferriedmemories]

Like how I can "see" the lifespans of humans, right? And there are people that think that shows up as a date and time... They don't understand.

[If I am blatantly ignoring canon, please tell me.]

[forgottenmagia]

I wouldn't know. I haven't interacted with shinigami very much, so I'll have to take your word for it.

[Seems fine? I've never played Komachi so I have just as much knowledge as Byakuren here does, haha.]

[ferriedmemories]

There's no reason for one to come to you, of course. That explains a lot.

[forgottenmagia]

Maybe not now. [Her voice suddenly sounds a lot lighter, a bit more nostalgic.]

[ferriedmemories]

Really, what are the chances of something like that happening? I wouldn't worry about it.

[forgottenmagia]

I am not an immortal being, Miss Shinigami.

[ferriedmemories]

Huh? Youkai can die, sure, but they have to be killed... or maybe I just can't see it because of the way this place works.
