I really, sincerely hope I'm not alone in thinking signing up for a dating app first thing in a strange new world is an incredibly stupid thing to do right?

It has "scam" written all over it.

It's for forming social connections, usually for hook-ups.

[swordofhisou]

Hook ups?!?

Why would people use some random picture on this phone thing for that? That just seems stupid, and they made a whole 'thing' on the phone for it? I mean, how is it supposed to even work?

[ganashara]

You're asking the wrong guy, you know.

[swordofhisou]

Yeah, I've never done anything like that either. Bah, whatever. now I just have to delete this thing. It can't be that hard can it?

[Next week: Tenshi gets a new phone.]

[ganashara]

Some people here are extremely inept with technology, so I wouldn't get cocky.

[swordofhisou]

Hey now! Ah, whatever. I'm going to try and remove this thing. Don't see any point to having it either way, if it's just for someone to get a date. There's better ways to do that.

[ganashara]

I would hope Lost Souls like us have better matters to focus on.

[swordofhisou]

I mean, what actually qualifies as "Better things" to focus on? I'm not really all that focused on finding a great match, but at the same time? It's not like I've got that much to do.

[So, she was doing her job, but somebody had an atrocious work ethic.]

[ganashara]

What you do with your free time isn't really my concern.

[ But he has a feeling she's going to tell him, anyways. ]

[swordofhisou]

Like I'm about to tell you all about the night of Karaoke my boss just treated me to. My social calendar isn't for you.

[... you just told him, dumbass.]

[ganashara]

I feel like I'm going to say "I didn't ask" to you a lot.

[swordofhisou]

Funny. Reimu's always telling me things like that.

[That's because she absolutely isn't asking you to shove your nose in her business or tell her whatever it is you were planning. She also definitely would rather you not do any of that. But that's the story of Reimu's eternal suffering. She had almost no social awareness whatsoever.]

Whatever. But you told me what I guess I need to know. Other than how to get this off my phone. So I suppose I should thank you sometime. Oh, right, remind me. What was your name?

[ganashara]

You can call me Lio.

[swordofhisou]

Tenshi Hinanawi, but Tenshi's fine. I never stand on formality.

[Most people call her "That celestial delinquent."]

[ganashara]

I didn't expect you to.

[ It's the whole reason he didn't bother with his full name. ]

Tenshi, then. You're name doesn't appear on any Shuten dossiers.

[swordofhisou]

That would be because the Kitsune nabbed me, not the Oni. I'm with Tamamo. Don't worry. Won't hold that against ya.

[It was no salvation from her beating Lio up if she got orders, but it wasn't like she didn't beat up her friends, because that was apparently normal for her. Or maybe it was safer to say she didn't really HAVE that many friends and was too self-absorbed to notice.]

[ganashara]

[ "Won't hold that against ya" as if he cared?! ]

You realize that puts us at odds, right? Tamamo and Shuten are currently engaged in territorial conflict.

[swordofhisou]

Yeah, but we're talking about these phone thingees, right?

I'll totally kick your butt if we actually end up dealing with each other for that stuff. It'll be fun!

[...she uh... had a bit of trouble understanding the seriousness of the whole thing. That, or she didn't care. No, she definitely didn't care. It's not like she wasn't perfectly chatty with people before and after fighting them back home as is.]
