Oh, right - you're a tsukumogami, aren't you? That's what ZenZen said, anyway. Pretty wild... I had no idea spirits like that were real, let alone that I'd get to meet any.
The point still stands, though!
[ with a wink, he gives kashuu a gentle nudge of his elbow. ]
We just have to give it a little time. They said this place reacts to our emotions and what we want, so the more we focus on making it something worthwhile, the better it'll be!
Bingo! [A smile! Welcome to the "met a spirit and they're weird" club, sir. He also laughs just a little at the nudge, waving a hand in response.]
Right, right... And you're right about that, too. Think we can shape it into something good? [A BEAT, THOUGH, because there's something else important here--]
You're super good at giving out cute nicknames, y'know?
The idol swordsman thing makes way more sense now! Still supes impressive, though, especially since you guys have your missions on top of all that... ah, but I promised ZenZen I wouldn't ask too much, so...
[ anyway! ]
I know we can. If we're going to be here for a while, anyway, we've might as well make it a place we like, you know?
Hehe, thanks, Kiyopi! [ winks! ] I think it's fun to do, even if some people aren't a fan.
Thanks, thanks. [For not asking too much... But also for the compliments OF COURSE.] We all work pretty hard to make sure we have a good balance of everything we need!
[Which is apparently swordskill, singing and dancing skills and a complex understanding of time travel. Yeehaw.]
Totally agree with that, though! Midori's definitely right. [Shale...] --People who don't like nicknames just don't know what they're missing yet, anyway!
I bet! Isn't it just like finding the right balance of actors for a show? You gotta have all kinds of different people with different talents to make it work!
[ no ]
Midori, Bernini, Shale... I wonder how many names they're going to collect while we're here? [ he gives a soft laugh. ] I'm glad you like them, Ki~yo~pi~!
[No!! He laughs a little at that though, oh my god...]
I wonder if that's a good thing... They already seem to have trouble remembering their actual names, so maybe a million nicknames is just gonna confuse 'em? Some are way cuter than others, so the less cute ones should totally go first.
I dunno... I know that Himawari said they liked that nickname best, though!
[Puffing his chest out a little, prideful... Heh!!]
Riff only seemed to kinda-sorta like the name I came up with him, and I didn't ever come up with one for Shale or Steel. Marie calls Shale Midori, though - I think that's kinda cute.
Nope! Bernini's a famous sculptor from Italy. His work is so realistic it looks like it could jump to life at any moment! Totally inspiring! So when I saw a living statue out there, it was the first thing I thought of.

[He's a sword! It's different, he didn't have to deal with True Human Oppression even if he witnessed it at a tendie age.]
You're super right about that, though. It's too bad we haven't been able to clean it up all the way yet or I bet it'd be even better!

So what would you say we should call them, then?

Midori is cute! I just decided on Bernini because - well, you know, the whole statue thing.
no subject
[Not the worst, but also not his best work... He's definitely canting his head curiously at that, though.]
Is Bernini the name of a famous statue or something?
no subject

[It takes so little to soothe him... He just looks curious at that, though. Woah. Artists do be wild.]
Huh... I don't think I've ever heard of him. I've definitely never seen a sculpture that realistic before, either - now I want to!
