ALL THOSE GOING TO CHINA, COME HERE.

Not that I'm organizing because AHAHAH. Heee. But I want to know if we can all get a flight together! And safety in numbers, right? And if this all goes well, that would be pretty super!

[ Since discovering who she was, she was hesitant to speak to her pantheon, out of a need for space. For clarify. It wasn't anything to do with them-- rather, she needed to have a greater grasp on who she used to be before saying anything. Words had never been her strong point, but now, more than ever, she needed to say something. ]

Hajime Father? Are you busy this week?

Dinner this week? I'll cook?

If one more person gets on my fucking case about my living situation, someone will get hurt. And I have the means to get away with it no matter what I just said. They should be more satisfied that my wife and I are still married instead of nitpicking about our living apart. Nosiness exists no matter what era you get into but it seems almost stronger right now.

Also, I didn't know we were dealing with drive-by shootings on top of the risk of being labeled crazy. How nice.

That was stupid and so is everything else going on here.

Now someone explain what this bullshit was and don't fucking get cute. I want to know why the second I meet a bunch of reincarnated people that I get attacked and have something so annoyingly small give me the vaguest, stupidest warning ever.

[ Why she'd been plagued with such bad cooking luck, she didn't know. The oil had been safe at first, she figured, but when she spilled some of it onto her hand and shrieked loud enough for the neighbors to hear, she understood that somewhere down the line, karma had it in for her. ]

i will have some difficulty posting for some days, but i think i am quiet enough anyway?

i burned myself last night but please don't worry! please come visit though?

[ It was no secret that Amaterasu was confused. Horribly so. Even after all that her brothers had said, she couldn't wrap her head around the concept. Shinto deities, really? How was such a thing possible? They were deities. But even Hyo was a creature, which made even less sense to her. Deities and creatures. How?

Hopefully, things would become more clear. She hoped, anyway. ]

I don't know what to say, but... hello?

edit, after speaking with uzume: So, I'm Amaterasu?

My firm is sending someone to Japan to help with a project. No, correction, they are sending someone else. I think I bit the inside of my cheek too hard. I can't describe my pain over this. I need a drink. I need a million drinks and then for someone to shove me into a pit and cover me with cement.

Isn't my karma good enough? Why have you forsaken me, karma?

Since I'll probably be reborn again, may my next life be kinder!

Ahhh, guess why I'm craving songpyeon ~♥♥ I want to eat it until I burst gloriously. I'm going to start making some soon. See, I don't need to ask anyone to do that for me but it would be nice if some cousins of mine could help.

Ok, that aside, I had a long, long day yesterday and now am just getting up. I didn't get in until four AM! :( I don't want to say why because it's not right to discuss someone's tragedy too openly but I work in crime-scene clean-up. That's enough info, yes?

Oh, hey. I didn't give my name at all, did I? It's Min-sik. ♥♥ LOVE ON ME.

[His birthday was pleasant enough. His parents had called and sung to him, which was both nice and horribly awkward. It was probably even more hilarious once his one brother caught on in the middle of the song and sang horribly off key. Still, he'd been happy for the call.

The ward from Merlin had surprised him but it was a happy surprise. Maybe today wouldn't be all that bad of a birthday in the end. Sure, things had been a bit awkward since Zurvan, but he was determined not to feel it today.]

Today has been a good day. I will have to remind my brother that he cannot sing. He must have his mother's talent for singing.

Guess what I found.

Guess what I'm keeping.

Guess what I'm going to let loose in someone's underwear drawer.

Let's have dinner Sunday. I don't have practice until Monday night.

I know we're all reincarnations. But some of you are very annoying. And useless. Yes, I belong to a pantheon. Maybe I'll tell them I'm here later since they are a little cooler than everyone else.

Also, stay away from Sora and Kyung if you know what's good for you.

[Filter: Siblings]

I'm defending you from perverts~ thank me later.

...

Nutjobs, the whole lot.








Who the hell are you people?

[ filter: private ]

...I should play bingo. Failed marriage bingo. At this rate, I could win a fair amount of money.

[ filter: shinto pantheon ]

I wonder if this will even work Hm, I'm curious. Who is here?

[ filter: public ]

I now have a daughter that I most certainly did not have a few months ago, and the only ones who seem to have a problem with this are my cats.

Sometimes, I think they might be the truly intelligent ones.

I am thinking I would like to quit my job. It's nice, and I like the hours they give me, but I feel like after all this, I would be more suited for a waitressing job? It's a thought. I'm still not sure. Does anyone here work as a waitress?

Takumi, dinner this week? If you are not busy! Bring your children if you'd like -- I'll treat them! I haven't seen them (and you!) in so long.

Hajime, how are things? Have you started your project?

Ahhh, and Léonore, lunch someday? ♥ Erica, please come, too!

I know we may not be together anymore, but I wanted to tell you that I was happy.

[ filter; ra ]
大好きです。 ごめんなさい。

すべておありがとう。

[ filter; ryujin ]
You're Emperor?

[ filtered from ra & jubokko ]
This is my home, but it does not feel like home anymore.

I'm thankful, that even though this is all crazy and strange, I found myself surrounded by friends and good people.

Oh.

I am so over this

[Filter: Merlin]
Are you hungry yet? Should I come in and throw something at your head to wake you up or are you already awake? A response will keep me from resorting to such actions.

[Filter: Amaterasu]
Good morning, darling. I hope your day goes well. ♥

[He'd found the letter, read it, contemplated it. It hurt him to know his wife was hurting but he struggled not to feel some anger about being deemed unfit, not good enough. There was part of his pride that was injured and it refused to listen to his attempts at calming it. He wanted to lash out at someone, but he couldn't. No one here deserved it. The only person he felt deserved it, he refrained from saying anything to if only for Amaterasu's sake.

After looking after Tecc and Merlin, he allowed himself time to think on it and digest it. She loved him and that was the thing he had to remember. She chose him over her own people. It was enough to cool his temper. It would have to be enough. He'd find a way to deal with the displeasure he felt at her brother's words. He wondered if it was childish to suggest having children with the underlying reason being to spite her brother and make him even more annoyed.]

[Filter: Amaterasu]
I love you. Never forget that. I'm sorry if you've been feeling poorly.


The timing may be all wrong, but I was wondering what you thought about children.

[There was something about war. It wasn't the defense of a land beloved or the pride soldiers had as they marched to death or glory. It was all about the blood that spilled and soaked into the soil, nurturing and forever becoming apart of the world. Jubokko couldn't explain why it just nearly excited him into the best of moods but it was a fact with him.

The war between Niflheim and Iriy only mattered at all to him because of this. He was aware his assistant had a brother in the army but that was Hyacinth's problem. At least Jubokko had the tact and sense to not say anything that he was feeling. How unrefined that would be.]

[Filter: Amaterasu]

Sister. I was thinking between patients that I should check on you.

[Filter: Public]

The world seems to be getting more and more complicated by the day. I wonder just what grand changes should be expected before the year is out.

[Amaterasu had been off, noticeably so. She had become a paranoid wreck, watching the windows to ensure her brother wasn't lurking, watching over her shoulder upon walking to and from work. For the first time in a long time, she didn't feel safe. It was as if her personal life had been trampled all over by a man she had loved for so long -- her brother, who had scared her so terribly she had barely spoken all week.

Early in the morning when Ra was still curled up in bed, she slipped away to write. The letter would find itself in Ra's bag, wrapped up neatly with a string, complete with a pressed flower at the bottom. ( It read as: )

I think tips are very nice. ♥

[ filter; jubokko ]
I miss you, brother.

[ filter; helios ]
Stop being busy, you!

( I wonder if you realise you fascinate me so )

[ooc: This happened pre-peace talks]

You thought you said the word peace, but you mispronounced it. It came out wrong. It will always come out wrong.

The stars were pretty last night. Pretty and cold.

[There was a first time for everything, Amaterasu had heard it said, but she sincerely hoped it wasn't true. As misfortune would have it, though, or perhaps Murphy's Law had she known it existed, things wouldn't quite work out for her that night.

Prior to coming home, she would be approached by a drunk customer who had left just half an hour before the end of her shift. Being the passive sort, she'd tried to worm her way out, but he was relentless, blocking her way out of the alleyway no matter which way she stepped. In tears, she violently pushed past him (and would regret it later) so that she could break into a run, wetness staining her cheeks by the time she reached home.

Her boots were taken off on the front porch, and she cried into her knees, reaching for the journal she kept tucked into her bag.]

[filter; helios]
are you awake?

[there may just be tear stains on the page]

Why is it drinkers have the best stories? I learn so many things when I'm refilling drinks and sitting with the soldiers who come into Barachiel's, most of which I'm sure they would blush if they figure out they were telling a fourteen year old. Or maybe not, I only know a few soldiers and they don't have a lot of shame.

Seems there's been a lot of chatter lately... some of it is juicy, too! Don't know how much of it to believe, but I hope the guy who mentioned that his dog's about to have puppies was one of the trustworthy ones, since I'm hoping my parents will let me take one.

Hint, I want a puppy, end hint.

[filter; samyaza]
Don't worry, I've been taking notes.

[Filter: Private]
There's a good chance I'm getting sick. I have to nip this in the bud before it gets too bad. Ugh. So sleepy. I'll eat lunch early if I can manage it and nap on my lunch break. Vitamin C works, right?

Please work...

Bread is such a lovely thing. Pointless statement, but that's how I feel right now. Also bagels. Maybe I should eat I might be in the middle of making breakfast. Jubokko, do you want some? And admiring it for how lovely it is.

Ah, my feet are sore! It's nice to be home, but it's even nicer to take off my boots and wiggle my toes.

[She had been so beautiful with inky black hair that fell straight and porcelain white skin that could make the fairest in all the land quiver with jealousy. Her hands had been soft, as if never having seen a hour's worth of worth and her teeth could have made dentists weep in worship.

It was all past tense for a reason. Jubokko leaned on his elbows, looking down at the body on his table, dispassion in his eyes and heart (but he was exquisite from what he has stolen from her). She'd never have the nerve to try to bribe her way out of her bills. Never again would the stupid bitch think so lowly of him, as if he were a common man. He'd never been common. He'd even say he'd never been normal. There was something very much peculiar in the way he thought and behaved but he didn't press it, merely accepted it.

He removed her ruby bracelet and takes it aside to begin prying out the jewels. He didn't need them nor wanted them but the discovery of it would do him no good. It was too unique, it had to be taken apart. Whatever made her special, identifiable could not exist. They would be buried in different locations, allowed to rest until someone or something came along to dig them up.

Hours later, he wiped down table, removing any last trace of the woman. No one will find her, not with what he had done to her. The same way no one could connect any bodies found in Ryugu-jo to him, not anymore.]

I have never liked weekend or holidays very much. I suppose that is the mark of a workaholic.

I have a major project upcoming and it's about time. And they promised that after its completed, I could be relocated to Tokyo.

Could be. Do you know how sweet those words are? I have never been happier and I have no idea what the rules are on transferring pets from America to Japan. Yes, I'm already planning, I need to plan. I need this hope. Nothing can take this from me. Nothing.



DO NOT TELL ME I AM GOING TO JINX MYSELF, FUUJIN, STAY AWAY FROM THIS POST.

今日は! 안녕하세요!

Sorry, I promise to speak English now. Ah, but I wonder who else here can speak Japanese or Korean? Hello? ... Bueler? I think... this is my first time in a place like this. Should I give my name? Is that the right thing to do?

Oh, I'm asking too many questions. I am serious, though.
