Imaginary Discussion: Nora Noragami Meets Yato
Nora: Hey there, Yato! Can we talk about the whole ‘God of Calamity’ title you’ve got going on? Do you ever wish you could trade it in for something a bit… shinier? Like ‘God of Good Vibes’ maybe?
Yato: *laughs* Wouldn’t that be nice? But then I wouldn’t have all these… ‘adventures’. You know, dodging shinki, trying to keep my followers happy, and scaring the pants off of some evil spirits. You’re still following my “calamity” path, huh?
Nora: Absolutely! Calamity is my brand, after all! But I’m thinking, do you ever get tired of being the ‘stray’ god? I mean, you’ve got a lot of charm; why not lean into being a ‘God of Awesome’ instead?
Yato: Ah, the allure of awesomeness! But being a ‘God of Awesome’ might not come with the same… turmoil, let’s say. Sometimes I think I need that chaos to remind me that I’m alive. Besides, who else would go after the most ridiculous tasks for just 5 yen?
Nora: You’ve got a point there! But can’t you see that we could totally team up? ‘Calamity & Awesome’ sounds like the ultimate brand collaboration! We’d have folks lining up to pray for the wildest of adventures!
Yato: *grins* Now that’s a fun idea! As long as we can keep the ‘calamity’ part from burning down any temples or something…
Nora: Well, can’t promise you that! But I’ll make it entertaining for you. Speaking of which, have you sorted things out with Hiyori? Y’know, the whole ‘regular human and god’ drama?
Yato: *sighs* Yeah, it’s complicated. But what can I say? Love is like a calamity of its own, right? You’d know a thing or two about emotional disasters!
Nora: Guilty as charged! But, hey, isn’t that what makes life so interesting? Embrace the chaos, Yato! Everyone loves a little drama with a side of calamity!
Yato: *smirks* True. Maybe we should embrace it together. Who knows, we could be famous! ‘The misfit duo creating calamities and chaos—one yen at a time’!
Nora: Now you’re talking! Just don’t forget to put my name first. ‘Nora & Yato: The Calamity Kings’—has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
Yato: *laughs* I can only imagine the trouble we’d get into. But alright, let’s see where this calamity takes us!
The End
