look up vincent van gogh

i like to think that peoples lives are dampened by the absence of my rambling shenaniganry even if theyre unaware of it
but its good to get back to all that missed out on shitposting

[kokuyoyo]

yeah
and i wanted to show you my feathersona

[He's taking that term with him to the god damn grave. Oh, right, and-]

also i died

[redotiertwo]

wow alright then
as important as the revelation of the feathersona is
i feel like you couldve mentioned the dying part earlier
you seem ok though

[kokuyoyo]

i liked the feathersona better

[redotiertwo]

youre supposed to break the bad news first though
something about courtesy or some shit
that doesnt explain how you died and then undied either

[kokuyoyo]

No.
fuck courtesy
I like the feathersona more

[He's putting his foot down on this one, Davesprite. He liked the feathersona more.]

[redotiertwo]

yes
i understand that
but i would still very much like to know what exactly the fuck happened re: dying

[kokuyoyo]

[It takes a little while, around twelve minutes, before Chikusa responds back.]

Do you remember Ayumu?

[redotiertwo]

[That's a remarkably specific discomfort span.]

i dunno if i ever met her personally
but i saw her post on the bbs a few times

[kokuyoyo]

Hakkai's old exemplar who tried to break his nose when he first died

[In case he needs a reminder. about that whole mess.]

they made up but she lost her other god a while back. She later went to a friend of Hakkai's but she was feeling a lot of guilt. the kind that needs an ablution

[redotiertwo]

oh right her
that whole deal just turned into a vague slapstick comedy scene in my mind honestly

anyway
im guessing the ablution didnt do a whole lot of abluting

[kokuyoyo]

She refused to say or tell us anything
Hakkai had to tell her god to let go of her name
she turned into an ayakashi

[So. Yeah.]

[redotiertwo]

jesus
so what did she monster out and kill you specifically

[kokuyoyo]

[Hope you don't mind all the pauses coming through int his conversation, Davesprite.]

it tried to kill the other shinki i invited first
but i distracted it
only for hakkai to be stupid
he tried to stop her but
froze up or something



i had to pull him back

[redotiertwo]

[Hey, murderlogs are serious business.]

yeah
i thought it might be something like that

[It would explain the sudden apology.]

still doesnt explain how youre both alive and remembering shit now though

[kokuyoyo]

[Yeah, funny how one takes a new look at their life when that life kind of. ends. from violent death. and then they magically come back.]

well hakkai didn't die for one thing
so he can still remember shit normally

but have you ever eavesdropped on some of the older shinki at those gatherings

[redotiertwo]

no i mean
as in youre alive and also remembering shit
usually its one or the other

when i try its generally inane gossip rag bullshit
why

[kokuyoyo]

have you heard about hafuri vessels in that inane gossip rag bullshit

[redotiertwo]

nope
hit me with that spray of hot juicy gossip

[no questionable wording here, no sir]

[kokuyoyo]

it's basically stage three shinki
you start out dead
which is the first step
and then you get a name by a god
so you can turn into a yoyo or a chakram or a bird
and hafuri is the final stage
basically
the best a shinki can ever get
bishamon's exemplar kazuma was one apparently and everyone said he had an impressive reputation

its basically



proving the depths of your loyalty
loyal enough to die for someone







i didnt think they meant that part literally

[redotiertwo]

[Yeah, that definitely explains the apology.]

so you leveled up
by finally accepting hakkai as some form of real dad
and also dying because fuck knows we cant have any dramatic levels up without dying

i would say congratulations but
that sounds like a lot of fuckery to go through

[kokuyoyo]

i think it was mainly being impaled by a giant spider so that he wouldn't be that did it
which is
a pain

[Yeah that's sure putting it lightly.]

we talked

[redotiertwo]

i mean typically if you get impaled by a giant spider for someone
it means you are in fact loyal to them to some degree
unless youre just into that i guess

i heard you also talked to certain other people at some point
congratulations on your furry boyfriend and all
only took you some number of months

[kokuyoyo]

yeah that was the problem

[Mainly Chikusa's problem. It's... fine. He got it worked out.]

we kissed on the first date

[redotiertwo]

so basically youd both been holding in your obvious as shit teenage hormones for months
and the expected thing happened
in a shocking fucking development worthy of the latest m night what a tweest title
