If an object like Dash here lives to a hundred years or more, they can sometimes develop their own consciousness. Based on their experience and history, and then - my Master summoned me in this form, this human-looking one, even with all that history.
So I guess I'm something in between of object and person.
Ahaha, I can't tell with everybody here! But that's good, it's really reassuring!

This thing.

I definitely haven't gotten very far - just trying to get names to faces. But Mizuki-san it is! [a beat] Are you okay with nicknames, though?

no subject
Well, if you want to...
no subject
I only want to if you're okay with it - it's why I asked. Sorry, I'm still getting used to figuring out how to chat with humans like this.

I know what tsukumogami are—I am Japanese, you know. But that stuff's usually just stories.

[help,]
no subject
Um, sure, I'll... do my best. I don't think I own anything that old though.
no subject
Hmm... Then be nice to the ones you see in museums, I guess. I imagine they get a bit lonely.
no subject

I imagine the windows they get to see people are pretty nice for them.

Ultimately, we swords were forged to serve humanity - so whatever you decide is fine. I just think it's nice to be remembered, sometimes.
