Ohhh... that is interesting!

[Definitely not something that would have ever occurred to her, but completely understandable as a request now that she's heard all of that.]

Do you think many people feel that way? Gods or shinki? I don't know how big the region is when you say 'where I come from'.

[But she holds up her glass to toast him, now that it has juice in it.]

[ So let them continue their toast to all their friends in this place. Clink of glass, a good sip of juice, or in his case, alcohol ]

Ireland, that's the place. [ Although in his time it was called differently ] As for the question... I'm no scholar, but I do imagine it might be a thing for some people. Those coming from places where the link to the Otherworld was through the water.

[ On one hand, kind of grim topic to talk on a party. On the other hand, half of the participants are dead ]

[She chinks their drinks together and takes a sip as well, but then listens to his answer.]

Ireland... that's where Yona's goddess is from I think.

[She remembers hearing that during the gathering.]

Link to the Otherworld... is that what you knew The Far Shore as back home?

[ Please, don't encourage him, he might not shut up ]

Tír na nÓg, land of the youth, that's where tribe of the gods dwelled. Sounds familiar, no?

[ He does wonder if it's still there, and does it works a similar function like does the Far Shore of Japan ]

And yet lady Áine and several others found their ways here.

Ah! So that's probably why they had the gods go meet their fellows from the other pantheons awhile back! Because everyone's supposed to be with those people, like in Tear-Nah-Nohg, and they probably wanted to try to smooth things over so they weren't accused of kidnapping or something, right?

[She has no idea that he wasn't around for that part.]

I went with my god to Greece and met a lot of other Greek gods and spirits then!

Ah yes, I heard bits and pieces about this happening.

[ He is curious how other otherworlds work, but not enough to go checking himself. So he resorts to good old gossip. Or how do the modern people call it, networking ]

How was it? The trip I mean. Were the Greek gods what you expected them to be?

[ Do they also fight ayakashi and have shinki? ]
pure_radiantics: (convo] uhm)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2018-03-20 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
They were pretty nice! It was the local spirits that weren't! They bothered my brother and took some of his stuff. I had to trick them to get his stuff back for him.

[Even if he was gone, Kairi was still bitter about that.]

And the new temples were so big - both my god's and the other gods' too! The ones I visited, anyway.

[ Local spirits taking your stuff and destroying your day- seems those things never change, no matter the place or time. ]

Your brother had a temple in the Greek gods heavens? [ Or was she talking about the temples in the Near Shore, scattered all around lands. Yeah, he vaguely remembers them being pretty impressive. ] Why didn't he stay there?
pure_radiantics: (convo] mild surprise)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2018-03-28 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ She shakes her head. ]

My brothers were all of the shinki staying at the joint temple of Baldr - from the Norse pantheon - and Artemis, from the Greek pantheon and my god. Senri was another one of Artemis's shinki.

The new temples on the Near Shore, they're all where the followers worship - they aren't meant for Far Shore people to live there.

[ At least, that's what she understood from visiting around a bit. ]
