4/4
He winces slightly. ] ...Getting sidetracked, right.
But... [ He gestures vaguely as he tries to put his question into words. ]
Ok, not human, makes sense, got it - what do I do about it?
[ He did spend most of a month already thinking about what's wrong - what he can't work out is how to fix it. ]
...Or don't I.
[ Because "no, this is unfixable, you're just fucked up forever" strikes him as realistically depressing enough to be a solid possibility. ]
no subject
[IGNORING ALL OF THAT! As he said, sidetracked.]
Frankly, we need to do some re-conditioning. Parts of yourself are fine enough, they were parts that belonged to a human being. Unfortunately, the other part of you came from a 'god'. As you may have guessed if you've interacted with the Fog, gods don't tend to be especially eager to budge.
Working in our favor is the fact that no matter what, now ALL of you is 'human'- it's a matter of...hmm. Breaking certain habits, really. Relearning how to walk without ignoring who you actually are, and so on. A little less 'walk this way' and more 'walk so that you don't faceplant into the ground'.
So- the easiest way to start will ultimately be to find your biggest personal problem, and dissect it then.
no subject
He takes a breath, and considers the actually-important points.
Hm. Hmmm.
Well, he doesn't like the sound of that last bit. He suspects that's not a thing he could do unassisted either, even if he thinks he knows what that problem is. He does not want to do this.
Not as badly as he wants to NOT keep accidently fucking up with Ryou though, so: shit.
Overall it sounds like a solid plan. He doesn't like the sound of it, but he could see it working, however little fun the process might be. He could also see a potential issue though. ]
...Soooo... when you say "relearning" - what is it that... we're relying on human-me knowing? Speaking figuratively, a metaphor, yes, but what if - what is it that needs to... pre-exist?
[ That is quite the hesitant tone and expression combo! ]
no subject
Essentially, while human beings are impressively stubborn when it comes to what they desire, they are also very good at compromise. And what we're likely going to be doing here, is compromising a lot.
Beyond that, we're just counting on the fact that 'human-you' was just that. Human. Someone who lived and died as one, however normally or abnormally the path.
no subject
...mmMMM, ]
Ssso...
[ Ugh, nope, nope, this isn't helping, what he needs is more info not more time with what very little Noa's given him to work from. ]
...Ok. Look, "Ringu" isn't real; but pretend for a second that's who you're explaining this to. When you say "human" here, do you just mean "mortal, not divine" or do you mean "specifically human"? Because if it's that second one I need more examples of what "human" involves.
no subject
For the most part I mean 'mortal' and 'capable of thought'. Not to say most animals don't have something going on in their heads- actually by my point in time a number of them were found to even have some clear morals going on... ...but there's a certain level of sentience and emotive clarity that would be considered...'human'.
I'll try explaining it in reverse. The idea of most gods- I say this because, frankly, I studied a lot of them from a variety of places before coming here- but the idea of most gods is that they embody some sort of idea. The sun. The earth. The water, so on. Say you were to argue with the Goddess of Love about how something you didn't consider to be 'love' was, in her eyes, that very thing.
You would never convince her otherwise. The thing that is 'love' has decided something counts as it. That's that.
Now we look at the Fog- the Fog has determined we are hers, that what she does is a gift, and so on. And nothing will convince her otherwise, because that is not just who she is, but what. Any argument we make, any word we say against her, will be taken and washed off her face as a lack of understanding. In a sense, one could argue it is.
Because we- rather, any 'human'- can't think like that. I suppose in a sense, there's a chance that part of you can understand where she's coming from though then... ...correct me if I'm wrong on that though.
no subject
Hm.
Well, that's a lot to mull over, actually,,
He doesn't want to just sit in silence while he ponders things though, so the Ring-Spirit also confirms Noa's last comment, nodding absently. ]
She does make sense to me, yeah. We're not that dissimilar - she's a lot nicer than me, but...
[ He trails off there, his main focus elsewhere. The Fog sure did just get accused of niceness though, that is a thing which occurred. ]
no subject
It would make less sense if she wasn't 'nicer'.
no subject
He grimaces. ]
...This is giving me a headache.
[ Every. single. step. of this process is going to give him a headache, isn't it. Shit. ]
no subject
Realistically we were never going to get start to finish in one shot though after all.
no subject
This is going to take so fucking long...
[ He's gonna stick with this, don't get him wrong, but looking forward to the process he is not. ]
...You're stuck with me until the headache wears off, I'm not flying with it.
[ Just. a heads-up there. ]
no subject
no subject
[ Said like it's something mildly embarrassing rather than strange-and-concerning.
"I need a nightlight", "I need a backdrop of screams", same difference right, ]
no subject
...You can lie down at least I suppose. That would help right? It wouldn't be a nap but...hmm.
The point is, there's space to take it easy before the flight out.
