[Hops down onto the floor after him.]

Weird vibes? What kind?

[He does not seem too concerned though. HE DOESN'T HAVE WAR FLASHBACKS TO FIVE STAR MICHELIN EXPERIENCES. Hien why. Also whaps his shoulder.]

I didn't know you could do that? [The way he sounds kind of questioning because he actually has a lot of new information about Hien to sort through, my god.]

"It's not very reliable when there's some sort of power suppression in place."

[ aka i make him go to funny places that he doesn't wanna go to

Why is his shoulder being whapped... help him ]

[HE'S JUST TACTILE. Always whappin people...]

It's stupid. [The power suppression. HE WOULDN'T HAVE ENDED UP IN THE DAMN RIVER TWICE WITHOUT IT.] But that's just what happens when you go into someone else's domain.

[ Hien figures that Obikawa is more familiar with "domains" more than anything else, which is a great comparison point to, say, worlds or pocket dimensions. ]

"They want insurance that they won't get attacked too badly in their own territory. It would be pretty embarrassing otherwise, right?"

It would be funny! [IT'D BE HILARIOUS.] But I can't be too mad, since I was the one who decided to come in here.

[If he had been whisked away into a jamjar things would be different...]

"I do wonder... what could someone like you want so badly?"

[ It's not like desire is absent in gods--in fact, there's plenty of it from what Hien has experienced by seeing others who also claim to be gods, but...

He goes to gather ingredients when he has his vision back for a moment. ]

"Though I guess the same could be said for me too."

Aren't we all here for the same reason?

[Said with genuine bafflement. Sometimes you are both smart and also a simpleton who's like oh time to go into the void to get this person back. The idea that someone could roll in with an entirely different reason has not yet occurred to his ass.]

"Technically, yeah. But I don't know what everyone wants."

[ Maybe it's better for him that his powers are nerfed also so that I don't infomod ]

[HELP ME]

Just different people, right? [He does not find it very imperative to ask who the people here have come for; just knowing that alone is enough for him. Shuffles over while he's doing whatever the hell to watch more closely...]

[ Hien still has his sight on so he's doing ingredient prep. He wants to put crab meat in there so he's snapping crabs in half in the sink with his bare hands. ]

"Something like that."

[ laughs in (redacted that you already know) ]

[I GRIP YOU LIKE A GRAPE

Obikawa just watches him crack these crabs while i aki grimace thinking about the number of times ive fucking stabbed myself with crab shell bits. He's kind of just quiet and watching for a little while, before abruptly starting with:]

The part of you I kept is showing me things.

[An insane way of saying he's memory leeching.]

[ hehe

thats a mood though. I need gloves too but hien just not giving a shit. It's fine... ]

"Yeah? Bet they suck."

[ He has many bad memories, but he also has good memories too... just that the bad memories are Bad. ]

[HIEN... he has the hands of an old grandma who can just stick the naan in the oven and peel it off the wall just fine.]

There's not a lot of full memories, probably because you're not still there. [Pats his tummy.] But there's stuff about your home and the overseers and things like that.

[Hien being a lil softie with cursed hands... The fuckin la creatura that he's still not sure how to approach. Spooky. Alula vibes but worse.]

[ At least he's easier to approach when he looks like a humanoid! Hien really has the hands of a cook where they can touch the fuckin grill and be like "okay that's the right temperature" fuckin wild.

Ingredient prep is still in process. Hien hopes that his vision will stay with him throughout this process (it will because I'll be nice to him this one time). ]

"My home and Overseers, huh... Are you interested? It's probably not that interesting to a god like you though, unless you get off on suffering or something."

[It's true... HELP THOUGH NOT LIKE THIS HIS GRILL HANDS. Good for him and his non-flickering vision though. For once.]

I'm curious but I'm not into that kind of stuff.

[HE'S NOT A SADIST!!!!]

Is it all suffering?

"I dunno what you saw, but I have as many good memories as bad ones."

[ Hien is only partially a sadist. looks at his aggro quota ]

"You can ask me whatever you want, but I can't guarantee that the answers will be interesting."

[Only partially huh.

But this is fine, because he is a curious soul even if his meandering curiosity doesn't always have a straightforward shape or form. His first question is pretty vague, accordingly.]

How come you guys were made? You were, right? Because you were human once.

"Yeah. Well... I was. The others... one was a human at some point before turning into something else and then becoming an Overseer and the other was some offspring of demigods but extremely diluted down the family line. As for the reason why? I dunno. This guy who's the metaphysical concept of destruction made me at the whims of some human who manipulated to kill me when I was human for kicks because they both thought it was funny at the time. They probably still do."

[ He shrugs. ]

[The vibes are just big ??? girl what the hell.]

That's stupid.

[He may be a god but at least he isn't a cosmic chaos entity that just fuckin does whatever the hell at any point in time because it's funnee.]

Do they not care that you're going to eat everything? Doesn't that include them? Are they stupid?

"They can destroy the invincible, the indestructible, and whatever else. And I guess that also means me. 'I put you into this world and I can take you back out' or something."

[ cooking time... cooking time... ]

So they're just going to let you keep trying until you end up having nothing left to eat but them?

[He's trying to wrap his head around this but despite being a creature of chaos and whimsy, he still has an internal line of logic and a solid moral neutrality that makes seemingly chaotic evil a difficult alignment for him to comprehend.]

[ Destruction lives up to their concept name and is definitely chaotic evil. They are the source of everything that goes wrong in the multiple haki cinematic universe(tm). ]

"Yeah. I fought them before. Didn't work out. My other self who controlled memory also tried to fight them. That didn't work either. I dunno what their plan is, but I don't wanna know."

[ fuckin asshat of an existence ]

[NOT THE HAKI CINEMATIC UNIVERSE. Stop being chaotic evil out there. He just nods because being like "man whatever" about a problem and simply shuffling away to do your own thing is relatable content. That is partially why he's here. He looked at the bigger issues going on and was like okay but I have something to be doing over here, goodbye.]

Sounds annoying. Must be nice getting a little break here, even if things are weird.

[People can just go bald with no warning...]

[ mood though ]

"Yeah, it's really annoying. Imagine trying to eat someone, but you can't despite all your power. Strength and willpower means nothing to that person."

[ Thinks about this for a second while still cooking. ]

"When I say that this is a vacation for me, people look at me funny."

[:handshake:

He just makes a little geh sound of obvious displeasure at the idea of this.]

Dealing with that would be more than just a pain in the ass. [Leaning against the counter as he cooks.] You ever consider just sticking around here?

[sTAY IN THE VACATION HOME OF PURGATORY.]
