what's the history between tenkohime and toraguma, anyways? or the enma and aaitengu.... our dear faction leaders seem to have a web of messy, tangled relationships, don't they?

ahat do you think happened? do you think tenkohime and toraguma were together but she left because he was... unsatisfactory? or is it something more or less mundane?

i'd be interested to hear what your thoughts are... it's not like we'll get any answers from them any time soon.

[Does he actually care about the truth? Absolutely not. He just thinks it would be funny.]

I didn't think you'd be this interested over faction gossip, Owen. You could try asking me for what I know sometime.

[sicklysweet]

Why wouldn't I be interested in learning about our darling leader? It seems only fair, when she probably knows more about me than most everyone else here./span>

Is the Lord Enma really in a relationship? He didn't seem like it.
(⊙_◎)

[sicklysweet]

Maybe he was, and he's not anymore. I don't know how anyone could stand him enough to be in one, honestly.

For legal reasons I must advise that people should NOT ask Toraguma why he talks to Tenkohime like that. It’s extremely impolite, and he WILL order a hit on you!

[Which, in itself, is info. Make of that what you will!]

[sicklysweet]

[Takes notes........]

Won't even do the decency of killing them himself? That's cowardly.

Why are people here so unrelentingly obsessed with who other people have been intimate with?

[Nie Huasiang might be new to the mysterious ways of kaomoji but he recognizes the Daitengu's account. This could lead to problems further down the line for other clan members.]

Don't you have work to do?

[His tone is pleasant enough but there's the subtle hint of a senior's reproach to it.]

[sicklysweet]

maybe, but it's not like the work I have to do is enough to keep me entertained

[Pulling rank... Gross. At least he can't see the face Owen's pulling at the screen right now.]

[ It's not her audience chamber, the video feed captures. It seems to be a much smaller room, a cozier affair, perhaps even her own personal chambers? It's hard to tell, and it's not like anyone knows where Tenkohime actually, like. Lives. But still, it's notably different.

What's more familiar is the pipe gracing her lips, and the graceful ease with which she presents herself, painted lips curled into a smirk. She waits a moment before speaking, her tone pleasant but... in much the same way one can find venomous moths beautiful. ]

Goodness, my little kit, if you wanted to know so badly... I would have been happy to arrange a story time with you.

[sicklysweet]

And how truthful would that story have been?

[She, at least, gets the courtesy of him responding in kind. He sounds perfectly cheerful, even if he's well aware she has the power to utterly ruin his life here.]

Not that anyone here knows the truth, or even have any interesting theories.

[fibrillate]

Well, I'm not one to spread gossip, but I did think it was a little interesting the way that Toraguma and Tenkohime decided to approach Tanabata festivities.
High-stakes gambling and high-value drinking... with the only way for someone like us to afford the high-value drinks would be to win big at the tables.
Which means that any money taken from Toraguma goes right into the pockets of Tenkohime, but everyone trying and failing to earn money for the finest of libations from Tenkohime end up giving money directly to Toraguma.

It just seems like an interesting little wrinkle, doesn't it?

[sicklysweet]

maybe they actually like each other. who knows?

or it could be just as likely they know that beating your rival when they have no hope of besting you isn't any fun. there's nothing wrong with helping someone out so you can face them as equals - and i'm sure toraguma needs more help than tenkohime does.

One should leave the gods and their personal matters well enough alone.

Learning the history of this place's deities might bring more hardships than this little game is worth.

[ Speaking as a god and from personal experiences it doesn't usually end well for the one spreading the rumors. ]

But I must admit I am curious to learn more about the history of this world.

[sicklysweet]

what does it mean if they're "gods" or not? they're no better than us, even if they hold all the power.

[No respect smh.

But also he only has a vague idea of what a "god" might be, so he doesn't care.]

someone who knows the truth has to be willing to talk about everything that led to this, yeah? you should find them.
