M19; Ama Questionnaire, text

[smilingbullet]

What is your preferred name?
D2. Maybe it's weird since it's not my name, but it feels more comfortable to be called D2 than to be called Carl. I don't really know why - thanks for that by the way, whoever causes this memory loss bullshit - and I want to make sense of it but I can't even try.

What is your vessel form?
My current one is a bracelet. It's a less optimal form, but at least the power is a good one. At least it's better than my first form, although not as good as the one I had before this. I would like to be an actual weapon, you know, not a small animal with a bad power, or a cute accessory.

Have you fought ayakashi?
Some, by now. I've lost a lot of gods though, so I haven't had the opportunity, a lot of times. I really really hope that my current god sticks around longer than my previous ones, but I can't do anything but hope, so I can only practice so I'll know what I know better than I already do and be ready for it once I get to fight more of them.

What is temple life like?
It's nice! My current God's temple is very bright and big, and pretty warm. It's very different from the other temples that I have stayed at before, though I couldn't rank them at this point.

Are there other shinki at your god's temple?
Yes, there are. I don't know them very well, but they seem like interesting people.

What is your favorite part of life with your god?
They like and play with my cats and we get along well enough. I think we fight well together, and that's important. Even if we haven't fought together very much beyond practice yet.

What is your least favorite part of life with your god? Any advice based on those thoughts?
We go on too few prayers or missions, but I suppose that they want me to adjust and get used to my powers and being their shinki first. I intend to ask my God about going on some prayers, though I wish they would bring it up sometimes as well. It feels a little hard to break the ice at the moment, so to speak.
Because I'm more or less not good at anything but fighting, so it's what I want to do. That way I know I'll be useful. But at the moment I don't get to fight too many of them, which makes me feel sort of useless. I don't like that feeling, but without the help of a god there's not much fighting ayakashi to be done. I know I can't render them myself. The system here sucks that way, making us so dependent on each other like that. Because I want to be able to fight by myself, or with other shinki and gods I don't have any contract with, without needing to get named by more gods.
Though, just so you know, that doesn't mean that I wouldn't become a Nora if I absolutely had to. I don't see the point in the stigma, I don't think there's anything wrong with being a nora as long as it's the shinki's choice to become one. Nobody has the right to put someone else down for a decision like that.

Do you wish to be assigned to a different god?
No, and if I did, I would talk to my current god about it, not do something so underhanded as just mentioning it here. It would be cheating. Because it's something between us, not between me and you. You don't really have any say in it anyway, and even if I had wanted another god, you wouldn't be able to do anything about that.
