[Anon Text] Complaint #2

Who: Anonymous and You
Broadcast: Network wide text
Action: The Blameless, if you can see her
When: Today only

So, I've been here a while [a month] and I can't but notice that there's a lot of downtime, even when we're attached to a planet, or a bunch of rocks like last time.

What in the world is so interesting? There's only so much "bonding" anyone can take. Is it really that entertaining to those losers who supposedly watch this reality play thing?

[No, please don't ask. He has terrible luck with animals here and it's embarrassing....]

Can he die? I didn't think most spirits could.

[Or at least as long as his anchor to the world is alive, shouldn't he stay alive? He honestly doesn't know.]

I could see the hand-to-hand paranoia thing? But I haven't heard of anyone on here gettin' anywhere close to that level. It's mostly just boredom.

[Endless boredom and then some stuff happening that he wasn't allowed to be a part of because he had a damn weapon and they wouldn't let him in the door!!! So rude.]

[brothersboots]

[She's going to ask. But not him.]

Sure. Everything can die. It's just a matter of what it takes and how long. I've yet to meet anyone who is invincible.

[And seraph are susceptible to a few things that no one thinks about as being dangerous. It happens.]

Boredom is pandemic here, true, but there is always a chance to shake things up. You could punch a person in boredom as easily as in anger.

[helmsplitter]

[That makes sense. He can die as well, just not as most people would think.]

I mean, I don't doubt it. I've punched lotsa other swords before, but usually only when we're sparrin' or fightin' depending. People here though? They seem too peaceful.

[brothersboots]

Swords, huh?

And as for the people here, I'm sure there are a few that are pugilistic enough. You just have to look for them. Besides, everyone's got something they'd fight for, even here.

[helmsplitter]

Yeah-- Ah...did I forget to mention that? I'm a sword, a sword spirit.

[He's pretty flippant about that, but at least he's honest.]

And I'm sure you can get 'em to fight for whatever reason, but the people here're closer to fightin' Atroma than they are each other.

[brothersboots]

I guess there are worse things to be. At least swords seem interesting.

[Who is she to judge another nonhuman? It's not like she isn't a seraph after all.]

Hm, that's true and they're probably right. I know that I'd prefer to beat the ones responsible for my kidnapping here than any of the people. They're mostly just normal-ish humans and the like. The Atroma, however, stole my favorite weapon when I got here.

[helmsplitter]

[He shrugs.] Dunno about interesting, but there are worse things to be. Could've been a lantern or a futon.

[Because not only are lantern tsukumogami a little ridiculous, they spend their entire lives trying to "scare" people and nothing more.]

You might be able to get it back. Sometimes we go to planets and other places which sell weapons. Or you might get 'em back. I got a gold troop from some underwater temple thing we visited.

[brothersboots]

Is that as bad as being a dog or a lizard? Because that sounds pretty terrible to me.

[ And before you ask, yes, there are dog seraph and cat seraph and a bunch of other stupid forms. And they all talk. Some of them too much. Looking at you, Oiysh. ]

Even if I got a replacement, it would be the same. Sentimental value is a real thing, you know.

[helmsplitter]

[Wait, what? Becoming a dog or a lizard? Wtf, that sounds awful???

Well, dogs can be used in war, but a lizard??? Aw heeeell no.]

Dunno, but maybe? At least I wouldn't want to be a lantern or a futon.

[Not that he's really met anything like that? Tsukumogami weren't exactly talkative spirits to begin with, but most of them were immobile as well.]

Not talkin' about a replacement though. Sometimes you get the actual thing here. Don't ask me how, but if you hear people talkin' about going through some sort of trial for a prize, you can sometimes bet on it bein' something from home at the end.

[brothersboots]

[Oh, you should talk to Velvet and Rokurou about become daemons. There are so many interesting things to turn into on Desolation.]

Well, furniture isn't necessarily known for it's exciting adventures, so I can understand that.

And if that's the case, I'll have to keep an eye out for any news. I don't really relish trying to replace that. It's invaluable.

[Edna, it's an umbrella.]

[helmsplitter]

[MMMM nah, he'd rather not turn into anything else. That falls under the purvey of corruption in his world and he is 0% about that.]

Yeah, that and the futon tsukumogami eat people.

[Gross.]

What is it, though? The thing you lost?

[brothersboots]

Sounds gross. Earth Dwellers don't really appeal to me or even sound like good food. Even if I know things that eat them.

[Like her brother had.]

Something that belonged to me. Gonna keep an eye out for it?
