text (shortly after Kija's BBS post)

[razzledazzles]

Hello, my name is Jae-Ha! Would this happen to be Kija's new god?

text

[slantedcross]

It would. I wonder how many people you're sending this to, if you aren't sure...?

text

[razzledazzles]

Only you. I asked him for your number, you see, but he doesn't always know how to work a phone.

[Neither does Jae-Ha.]

I was hoping we could speak about Kija.

[In a ranking of 'Things That Surprised Youji,' that was somewhere between 'Omi passed all his classes this year' and 'Sena messed up.' That is to say, not surprising at all.]

You're not his former god or something, are you?

[Talk away; he's just feeling... trepidation.]

text

[razzledazzles]

His former fellow shinki, actually. We had the same god prior to this little switch, and I'm rather certain we knew each other in our last lives.

He's seeming a little restless. Were his complaints true?

text

[slantedcross]

Tempted as I am to lie, if you know him, I probably can't.

[Does Kija even know what a lie is.

All the same, something in the back of his mind is distantly glad that Kija has someone looking out for him.]

Sorry for your loss & his. Mostly his, I admit. We don't seem to be suited for each other at all.

[razzledazzles]

If you do feel so bad, I have a solution for you. Try spending some time with him. If you really don't want to answer prayers, simply taking him somewhere should ease his mind.

text

[slantedcross]

Doing what, I wonder.

He's free to come and go as he pleases. You're more than welcome to rescue him whenever you see fit. If he wanted to link himself to your god to get more exercise, he could.

[ooc: i know he can't bc playercest but ICly...]

[ Earlier she went out on a walk just to get to know the area a little better. Now... ]

would you object if I put a garden together at the temple?

text

[slantedcross]

Object? Not if it makes you happy.

I know a thing or two about flowers.

Re: text

[solar_avatar]

(❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ* really happy!

i didn't realize that you garden

[ Uh. Yeah, sure Trance. But hey, this was definitely a great way to make her day. Best hope there's no allergies locked away in your immune system, Youji ]

text

[slantedcross]

I used to be a florist. It's not exactly the same thing.

If you know what you're doing, though, I'll leave you to it.

text

[solar_avatar]

it could be something for us both!

i wouldn't say that i completely know what i'm doing, but it it feels right.

[ To be fair, that was her approach towards a lot of things well before her death. With the entire hydroponics garden, life support system and in the medical bay. ]

[...well if you keep INSISTING...]

See if you can find some orchids... cattleya are my favorite, and they make wonderful gifts.

[If by "wonderful" you mean "expensive" Y O U J I.]

I'll try to keep it afloat. :) We won't need a greenhouse or anything, that much I'm sure of.

Re: text

[solar_avatar]

[ Yeah, she's really bending your arm back to have this happen. Trance is such a bully for what she wants. ]

cattleya? well, i'm not sure what these will be, but i'm sure they'll be very pretty after a little bit of care! some look like they could be orchids.

Re: text

[slantedcross]

[She can do whatever, but now he's... participating... what...]

Did you already go shopping for flower seeds? Or transplants?

(ooc: takes place after this thread)


[There are no tears, but there is a very definitive wail in Omi's voice. Someone fucked up, and that someone knows it.]

Youjiiiiii..... I might need to talk to you...! Please answer....

May 27th; Voice

[slantedcross]

What is it? If Ouka's giving you flowers again, I don't want them. My shinki has her own garden already.

[oneblackcat]

[That... is just jarring enough to throw Omi off his game.]

Huh? No... --Youji this is serious!

[slantedcross]

So is Ouka when she gets her mind going in one direction... at least that's how I remember her.

Spit it out.

[oneblackcat]

I... I sort of-- ohhh jeez.

[Omi shifts into speaking incredibly fast.]

I-sort-of-ran-into-Kija-and-he-apparently-isn't-a-shinki-anymore-and-he-asked-me-things-and-I--!

[End incredibly fast speech.]

...He's coming to find you now. To apologize.

I'm sorry. I said a lot of things I shouldn't have said to him.

[slantedcross]

Well, I've seen him on the BBS, so--

[So. So what?]

Did he say what he wanted to apologize for, perchance? He and that friend of his both seemed... quite convinced.

[Deal with should haves and should have nots later. But we will.]

[oneblackcat]

I... I don't remember much of the details. Sorry.

[Hey Youji, remember how you wanted a photo of Tot's shinki? She completely forgot until their trip to Greece, so attached he'll find a selfie shot (look she's a teenager, this is like breathing) of her and her shinki.

Enjoy!]
