#no trucy.. thats not french

[thefbiartist]

What a normal gc conversation between these three looks like

[pinksweatergettingbetter]

Reading my way through Noragami recently, I noticed some amusing similarities between the heroes and our favourite bum lawyer and his trusty protégé.

So! Here’s a little six page AU comic I spent entirely too much time on! Enjoy~

Notes and transcript under the cut

Notes:

Page 1-4's The mysterious voice

In case anyone’s confused, the soft speech bubbles that appear throughout the first half of the comic are Trucy speaking while in her object form, which is the locket around Phoenix’s neck. 

‘Miruki’

Miruki, AKA Trucy, speaks in third person here just as she often does in the Japanese version of the games. As for the name being ‘Miruki’ instead of ‘Minuki’; according to shinki naming convention, each true name consists of one Kanji character. However, there does not appear to be a way to write ‘Minu’ (to see through) with a single Kanji. So instead, I cut my losses and just used ‘Mi/Miru’ (to see). ...Incidentally, this ends up making her name sound like “Milky”, but I thought that was kinda funny, so I went with it.

‘Tighty-windies’

A terrible joke from yours truly that may not be obvious enough. So

Apollo is dressed in a white burial kimono that consists of only one layer. This makes it a little like an under-garment (sort of like a nightgown) but also calls to mind a winding sheet. So, long ramble short, the pun is a combination of ‘tighty-whities’, (slang for underwear) and winding sheet (a cloth used to shroud corpses for burial).

Théâtre de L’imagination

A little gratuitous french, because thats a language I actually speak (Side note- I did my darndest to research the use of Kanji properly; if any native speakers find errors, I sincerely apologize.)

Phoenix: But then, a kind and noble deity (me) came along and generously bestowed upon you a name, thus making you my Shinki; my divine instrument!

Trucy: Like Miruki!

Phoenix: That’s where the bow part comes in, see.

Apollo: Are you sure you’re pronouncing that right??

Phoenix: So! Long story short: I get a neat weapon, you get to serve me for eternity; it’s all very beneficial.
