[LISTEN HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT!!! The cat's out of the bag now it's too late... Also don't worry about it.]

Yes. [A NOD. Sometimes you just look human... He slides his sword back into its sheath and then holds a hand up like he also finds it a foreign thing to look at.]

This body was gifted to me by the saniwa, who has the ability to call forth spirits like myself and provide them with a physical tether to the world.

[bindings]

[he has vampire tb]

Ah. [this is fascinating, actually. she touches his hand, arranging his fingers like she's seeing if they're wooden or something.] Interesting.

I have heard of similar, though the stories I have heard have been of sentient swords possessing mortals rather than being given a body of their own.

[sanguinary]

[STOP ASSIGNING MY CHARACTERS TB

Anyway he'll allow this. Tragically his hand isn't made of wood or anything particularly special! It just feels like a normal human paw... Albeit fucking cold.]

That is much more typical where I'm from, as well. After all, only the saniwa have this ability, and there are few of them compared to the number of spirits that exist.

[bindings]

[stop playing characters with tb]

What an interesting similarity. [it's okay, her hands are also very cold. she lets go of his hand, and folds her arms across her chest.] I wonder if your world is the closest in nature to my own.

[sanguinary]

[STOP THERE'S ONLY ONE!!!! One who's here five times...

Cold hands club. Once she lets go, his hand falls back to his side.]

It's a possibility. Not many here are familiar with spirits beyond folklore, but that is to be expected from humans.

[At least where he comes from, since humans can't see them...]

[bindings]

[it's always so funny when she finds out people aren't human because she's like girl me too but like, she's human. she's just stupid.]

Does this mean Buzen is a sword as well?

[sanguinary]

[HELPPPP the way that she's nonhuman-passing. Matsui doesn't even question it.]

That's correct. Buzen is a precious comrade of mine, so I hope the two of you will get along.

[He will hit anyone who disrespects Buzen with a bowling ball.]

[bindings]

[HELP]

We do. I had a competition with him, and I won a shark named Fate. [uwu] He is not difficult to get along with.

[sanguinary]

[THEIR TRIO OF SHARKS... FATE DASH AND HOMO.]

Ah. Congratulations on your victory. [The sharks are getting adopted out so fast...] I'm glad that you find him agreeable, though. He's very easy to get along with, but unfortunately, some people hold incorrect opinions.

[bindings]

[HOMSDJKFSK STOP I KNOW IT'S HEMO]

Opinions by definition can't be in-- [a pause. oh, wait. no, she gets it.] Ah. Are there really people who dislike him?

Fascinating.

[sanguinary]

[NOOOO MY HOMO]

It's fine. There won't be, soon.

[THIS SOUNDS SO FUCKING OMINOUS. Maybe it is ominous... Maybe he just means he's going to convert them to the church of Buzen, which is also ominous in a different way.]

[bindings]

[do you know how hard it is to say something that makes shenhe go "wow that's ominous" because he just did]

There... won't be. [she repeats slowly.

silence...

then:] Ah, well. I suppose if you get rid of the people who do, that's efficient.

[sanguinary]

[LISTEN...

Matsui looks briefly surprised for a second, and then amused.]

Ah. I wouldn't do such a thing. Buzen wouldn't like it. [THAT'S THE ONLY REASON WHY??] But I am certain that with enough time, anyone could warm up to him.

[bindings]

[no, no, she gets that. sometimes the only thing that's stopping you from murdering a whole cast is because someone you like would disapprove]

I think that they will. [...] May I ask a question?

[sanguinary]

[NOT THEM SAME HATTING OVER THIS... Truly just cements his incorrect opinion that this is a spirit, though, damn.]

Of course. What do you wish to ask?

[bindings]

What do you think of the rules that are on the device? Have you seen them?

[sanguinary]

I have, yes... [A little nod.] Are you asking if I believe them to be true? Or for my opinion on certain parts?

[Erasing. THE ERASING PART.]

[bindings]

Both, I suppose. I'd like to know what your thoughts on erasure are.

[sanguinary]

[His thoughts on erasure are spoilered for content warnings.

But also:] That it most likely means an erasure of the conscious mind or spirit. Perhaps a "true death" as opposed to the purgatory we currently seem to reside in.

[bindings]

[nods.]

I had expected the true death to be the first and only stop in the afterlife. Waking up here was a surprise. [...] Waking up here with my Vision turned to something else entirely was also a surprise.

[sanguinary]

The fire, yes?

[THE SHOCK OF A LIFETIME welcome to the pyro life, Shenhe...]

Yes... The additional abilities are quite confusing. It appears I can utilize water in the same way that you can use fire, but no such abilities exist where I'm from.

[bindings]

Ah, so you are a hydro user. [nice to know.] Do you have any particular connection to the water?

[can you bless people since i guess you're apparently a catholic vampire]

[sanguinary]

[CATHOLIC TB VAMPIRE.

Matsui's quiet for a second because he can think of one connection and it's a terrible one.]

...I am well-acquainted with a certain sea, I suppose. But do you share a connection with fire?

[bindings]

[i really am out here with the board of red strings like charlie day with my piecemeal swords lore from rp like CAROOOL I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE MAIL]

No. But I could see why assigning fire to me might be amusing to something that would gather dead souls to play a game for a chance to cling to life.

[sanguinary]

[HELP THE RED STRINGS ARE JUST ALL TIED TO TB AND SWORDLORE.]

Ah. [Sasuga. He nods after a second of considering.] That is likely the reason for my chosen element as well, then, if it happens to be true.
