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.

You can at least start to find that answer by getting rid of the app rather than getting lost in suppositions.

[localweirdo]

Fine, I deleted it.

You sure are persistent on making sure people get rid of it. Although, I suppose that is a good quality to have sometimes.

[ganashara]

Less that and more you were persistent in asking me what to do about it. If you'd just decided to ignore me, I wouldn't have hounded you over it.

[localweirdo]

That is true but I couldn't help myself.

I guess I was a little curious about you! But let me introduce myself. My name is Hu Tao and it's rather nice to meet you.

[ganashara]

You can call me Lio.

Your name isn't on the Shuten roster.

[localweirdo]

I'm in Sutoku and I just arrived here!

Let me say though, hell is certainly a lot more liver than I thought!

[ganashara]

That's a word for it.

It's about as dangerous as one could expect, though.

[localweirdo]

It's not too different from where I'm from. I'm use to fighting but I could do without the constant battling.

Don't they know it gets tiring after a while? There's only so much violence before it gets boring.

[ganashara]

It's not a matter of personal indulgence. For many, it's a matter of pride, and the need to protect what they consider theirs.

[localweirdo]

Which is a shame. You would think they would respect the concept of death and morality a little more. Especially where we are now.

[ganashara]

In this world, I don't get the impression this "Hell" is synonymous with "Land of the Dead", though apparently the dead are "processed" here on some level.

I think this is more just the place where youkai are meant to dwell, given the other "worlds" are inhospitable to them.

[ He could relate, to be honest, though the Burnish never had anywhere near as fancy as this... ]

[localweirdo]

And thus, why it is tragic. Hell or not, we at least deserve a place where we can rest without any worries when we're "dead". We have enough of that when we are living.

I just wish the youkai can see that because they deserve some peace despite their current situation.

[Granted, this was her being optimistic and hoping things will work out in the end.]

[ganashara]

[ ... ]

I can see why the Alliance favored you, already.

[ Lio wasn't so idealistic, of course... despite Galo's influence on him. ]

That being said, peace doesn't come without conflict. Someone's blood will be spilled for the sake of someone else's.

[localweirdo]

Which is why I will dread the day it will happen. But for now, I hope I can remain as hopeful as I can.

[Pause]

It would be a shame to see so many dead bodies but I suppose it would make it more difficult for me. How can I arrange so many funerals in a short period of time?

[ganashara]

That's



an unusual way of reacting to mass death.

[localweirdo]

I was joking.

Although, perhaps that was in poor taste. I was trying to make things a little lighthearted.

[ganashara]

Gallows humor. I get it.

I'm not sure what accounts to poor taste a lot of the time, but I wasn't offended. Mostly just curious.
