🚘Cars are so cool🚘
I really want to try one out❗🚗💨💨💨
❗❗❗Did you know they're surprisingly easy to get❓❓❓
Does anyone have one?
I want one too 🎁
(And like, 45 minutes later: )
Wow, this is pretty difficult❗❗❗
I can't figure it out at all.
🤔💭 Does anyone know how to use a car❓ (╹ ᴗ╹)?

I like it!
But eh... you'll have to say it for me next time.
I've never seen sounds like that together before.
no subject
you got it. happy to do some teaching. we definitely have some pretty unique sounds in the language compared to others, but that's the fun of being so isolated from the rest of the world. got to do our own thing for a long time
hell kinda got lucky that my name's pretty easy, all things considered. some of my family'd have no hope of their names getting said correctly
no subject
(He isn't complaining though it may sound like that. He's actually more interested than anything. It's a totally different from any language he's ever heard before. There are sounds and combinations that make his tongue and mouth move in ways he'd never really tried before. It's fun. It's like learning a new song.)
How surprising!
I want to know more.
But I see... so your country was also isolated for some time?
no subject
[ and on his end, he's snickering, since he does kind of like overwhelming people with Nahuatl... He finds the language uniquely beautiful in how every word is poetic, but, yeah. Most anyone who learns about it tends to be overwhelmed. ]
but yeah. our part of the world was doing our own thing until the spanish came. you probably know how it is, since you're an old guy of your country yourself. europeans are pushy bastards
1/2

When we let them in, we even kept them to one place.
The real troublemakers were the ones called the Americans.
I never got to see them, though... By the time they arrived, I was up north, far away from where they landed.
no subject
but still. pain in the ass when anyone tries to come "visit" if you catch my drift
no subject
(Did he use that right.........)
For sword spirits like me, their arrival was something like the beginning of the end. After a long period of peace, we'd soon end up replaced by new weapons.
Ah, but by then, I was already spending my days resting. I never got a final chance on the battlefield!
no subject
[ In fact, Tezcatlipoca actually has quite a pang of feeling at Tsurumaru's little story here, but he doesn't share it. It's the sort of thing he's intentionally aloof about. ]
what about now? ain't this a battlefield?
no subject
And it's a totally new one too.
Are you saying I should be happy now?
no subject
I'm tempted to ask another question, but I feel like it's one that'll make you run away again. so! I'll pick the easier one.
having fun?
no subject
Of course, I"m having fun.
(Fun how? Fun doing what? He won't say...... but he can admit hes' having fun easily.)
no subject
that only applies to you, though, so don't go sharing that sentiment with anyone else. weapons get a special pass in my book.
no subject
You really are an old man.
Does every weapon get special treatment from you?
no subject
course you're the first one I've met that can hold a conversation, so that's extra special
no subject
Which do you care for more: Weapons or people?
no subject
hard to say, since I don't consider them to be the same thing. like obviously, but what I mean is that I have high standards for people. they've only got the one life and a limited time to make the most of it. so as a god, I push them to their best. it can be harsh, and pretty sure most of them would see that as an uncaring god. it's not, but I get why they feel that way.
a weapon can outlive any person pretty easily, especially when they're well taken care of. they can be passed along to someone else so that they have the tools they needed in a battle. or just respect for the people that died so they could live. it's a tool and a symbol, and that's powerful and worthy of respect.
so, it's different.
push comes to shove, I'd say people, but they're not working on the same scale so it's not a fair comparison
no subject
Of course, people and weapons aren't the same.
We can't even compare.
(Still, he asked.)
But that's a good way to think of things. Most people don't put that much thought into their answers. Or much of anything.
(As a tool, he's seen how careless humans can be.)
I'm not surprised, though. You've had a long time to think.
no subject
you ain't wrong. arguably too much time since we gods don't exactly experience it the same way in the first place...
but besides that one of my epithets you can translate as "the one who understands people" so that's the vibe I bring
just a tough love you know
no subject
(So he doesn't mind tough love. He's the same.)
But "the one who understands people," huh? I see.
If I have any other questions, I'll be sure to bother you.
no subject
tehimatini.
but feel free. I like chatting with people so pretty rare I'd turn down being bothered.
