557.
[He says without even looking.]





I didn't want to assume.

[shiftingwinds]

Fair enough, I suppose.

I was human once - but I'm not, now. [...] Well, I suppose I may as well be human again, now that we're here. But I ascended to godhood centuries ago.

[holeful]

Oh. I suppose that explains why you're so beautiful.

[Fukuda just out here saying things.]

[shiftingwinds]

[she hides a smile behind her folding fan]

My, my... aren't you a charmer!

[holeful]

[?????]

I am?

[shiftingwinds]

Of course! Such sincere compliments are very charming.

[holeful]

Even coming from someone like me?

[shiftingwinds]

I don't see how the fact that it comes from you would make it any less sincere...

[holeful]

Well, some people find me unsettling, and I suppose that colors the things I say?

[shiftingwinds]

That's more their problem than yours, I'd say.

[holeful]

It's my problem in that it made it difficult to socialize.

But people here are so nice. I feel very lucky.

[shiftingwinds]

That's one good thing about this, then - it's given you the chance to meet nicer people.

[holeful]

Is it that? Or is it just because they don't know better?
[His normal slightly goofy demeanor falls away a moment but then, immediately.]

Haha, just a joke.

[shiftingwinds]

...that didn't really sound like a joke.

[holeful]

[Another laugh.]

I must not have told it right.

But, anyway. I'm interested in hearing more about yourself, miss Qingxuan.

[shiftingwinds]

About me? What is it that you'd like to know?

[holeful]

Well, I suppose what it is you'd be doing if you were home right now?

[shiftingwinds]

[what is it she'd be doing, huh...?

her expression flickers, just for a moment, before becoming a bit more serious than she typically is.]

Working, most likely - there's something I was investigating before I came here...

[holeful]

Investigating? Are you a detective?

[SEEMS RELEVANT.]

[shiftingwinds]

A heavenly official, which sometimes involves looking into things to discover the truth, so I guess in a way!

[...]

But this was more personal.

[holeful]

[Heavenly official.... sounds like God Cop to him.]

Here I'd have thought a god would be omniscient.

[shiftingwinds]

We oversee different things - I'm the god of the winds, not the god of everything.

[holeful]

Ah, I see... Were you investigating... wind crimes?

[What does that mean. He has no idea either.]

[shiftingwinds]

[pfffft. she giggles a little at that, then waves a hand.]

No, no - it was something of a personal matter. Not a crime, exactly. [...] At any rate, we heavenly officials investigate things when our worshippers have prayers that might indicate something strange is going on - usually when a monster or a ghost is tormenting them. Or, an official might be assigned to accompany another by the Heavenly Emperor, if he feels their skill could come in handy on the investigation.

[holeful]

Ah, you're quite hands on compared to most gods where I'm from. A lot of people don't believe in any sort of god at all.

[He smiles though.]
The way it is for you though... that sounds nice.
