situationship | PICKLES

... You don't work despite being smart?

Awoo...?

[ The puppy insists that it is a dog and therefore, doesn't have to work. ]

That's convenient. It'd give you time to read all the books you want.

Woof! ... Woo.

[ The puppy says that would be the case, but it gets dragged into many situations. ]

Not much to do here, soooo I would love to hear more about this situations whenever you're free! Better than waiting for the supernatural to respond back.

[ sometimes you try to talk to ghosts. ]

[ Pickles tilts his head with a whine.

The puppy asks if you can really communicate with ghosts. ]

Yeah, I can. I can see them, too.

Or... At least before this place neutralized everyone's abilities.

Woof! Woof...

[ The puppy would like to know what it's like to communicate with ghosts. ]

Hm... I guess I can't say it's actually communicating, but they respond in their way and I can respond back. Most cursed spirits don't vocalize clear thoughts, instead clinging onto negative aspects from their birth.

Objectively, it's an ugly experience, especially since they will attack you.

Woo...

[ The puppy asks if you're something like an exorcist. ]

[ Claps once. ]

Bingo! Kind of similar. We're sorcerers, descending from the traditions of the onmyouji.

[ This is where Pickles learns that magicians and sorcerers are different things. There seems to be a look of realization on his doggy face. ]

Woof!

[ The puppy asks if onmyouji traditions are core beliefs. ]

Hmmm... I would say most of us are Shinto-Buddhist which is related to our practice, but how onmyouji were treated changed from being divinators to almost god-like figures or something like that.

We don't read the stars anymore. Our main job is to exorcise cursed spirits.

[ Tilts his head. ]

Is it that interesting when none of this is important or relevant to you or where we are?

[ Pickles tilts his head in response. ]

Awoo.

[ The puppy says it likes learning about topics it doesn't know of, despite its irrelevancy to its life. It often reads books on philosophy and other sciences as well. ]

... Maybe you'd like talking to Suguru about stuff. He tends to get caught up about thinking on meaning and purpose.

I think it's useless to think about it too much, but... If it's fun for you guys, then it's fun.

Woof.

[ Yeah, they'll be best buds over philosophy and the cyoa adventures, I'm sure.

The puppy wonders if you are more action than thought. ]

[ THIS WOULD HAPPEN... WILL I GET A PICKLES PC TOMORROW OR WILL THIS DOG DIE ]

That's kind of rude, but what are thoughts if they don't become actionable.

[ WHO KNOWS... You'll have to take the chance if you don't give me one today!!

Pickles looks enlightened all of a sudden. ]

Woof...

[ The puppy wonders if all your thoughts become actionable. ]

Yup, most of them. Our field of work is very hands-on.

[ i must sleep to go to a 6 am golf tourney......... ]

[ 6 am.... what the fuck........... feel free to backdate with me bc i learned friday pcs are dangerous (borzoi face)

But Pickles realizes something. ]

Woo?

[ The puppy wonders if you like your job. ]

[ i see ]

I don't think you need to like your job.

[ that isn't the question ]

[ yea

Pickles looks at him like. Bruh. ]

Woof.

[ The puppy says that did not answer its question. ]

... Neutral? Been trained for this since I was born, so it's expected.

[ birthright kind of deal. ]

[ Pickles looks intrigued by this. A birthright job... fascinating. He's only a dog, so he's never really understood that sort of thing.

The puppy thought it would be more special. ]

It's still exclusive, but there are enough of us to be considered a society. A secret society! And I'm heir of one of the biggest sorcerer clans.

[ Prestige... Power... Politics... ]
