So, did anyone else run into the kid god on the volcano? I hear the Heavens have been claiming he was defeated, but me and a few others were there for that and "defeat" isn't the word I would have used. It looked a lot more like he sealed himself away or escaped.

We need to be prepared for the possibility of him coming back, but if anyone actually got him to talk instead of just retaliating, it'd be useful to have that information to work with. I get the impression nobody told him what he was going to be dealing with, but he definitely thinks us and the old gods are one and the same, so he's going to need convincing if any of you decided there was a misunderstanding.


[Or, as he doesn't really want to put it in case the Heavens are overseeing the conversation, in case anyone decided they want to protect him. Shun's been meaning to do this for a few days, but he's been given even more reason to be focusing on work in the last two, so why not use this to take his mind off things a bit.]

I fought him as well, over the cavern from you. I did not get to talk to him unfortunately but I agree. From what I saw he escaped, it was not a defeat. He seemed to have near infinite control over fire.

It sounds like you've been working hard, Kurosaki-sama. You should make sure to rest well, especially if you fought such a powerful rogue god. May I invite you to my temple for lunch? Please allow me to treat you, I insist.

he got away okay?

[Goku... suspects this kid may be the same one he met, but he can't really be sure. If it was him though, he's glad he made it out okay. Probably surprising no one who was at Zelda's meeting and saw how he and Gojyo defended the other child god causing trouble for the heavens.]

[This is an actual text message sent directly to Shun rather than a reply on the BBS, because the whole near-explosion that happened during her cult discussion meeting made her a little wary of talking about things other people might not think should be made public.]

Do you remember the Moon Festival? And the chaos that followed?
sageprincess: (Regal disdain)

He insisted he did nothing of the sort and that we all are merely looking for a scapegoat, but he did admit at least to being in attendance. He also implied that had been the only time he had come to the Heavens outside of the recent volcano incident.

[Listen... In his defense, he was worried that Shun might not understand anything too subtle. He's concerned, alright?]

We'll look forward to your arrival. Let us know when you're on your way. Is there anything in particular you'd like?

[Sorry, what was that about turning down food-]
rockthemonkey: (Hmmmmm)

So basically what they said at godly orientation about 'extinguishing' the volcano was a bunch of bullshit? Holy shit, this comes out of left field. I figured gods who don't even know how new members of the ranks are even fucking showing up in the wrong heaven for a world that isn't even theirs would have their shit together.

Does being a god even mean shit here? You've got different powers than shinki, I guess, but there's nothing fucking omnipotent about godhood. Seems like even basic competence is a reach for these fucks. Seems like gods just got one half of a skillset and arbitrarily convinced everyone that their half was the better half.
rockthemonkey: (I think they'd stay with me.)

like he was scared

[Goku may be used to "attacking to kill" being a form of self defence. Also sounds like Amaterasu's shinki were already well into things by the time Shun and the others showed up. Hm.]

did he say anything?
bakusatsuo: (I could be your perfect disaster)

[personal profile] bakusatsuo 2018-09-23 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm surprised status is something they even allow us to have.

But the hell with their shit. Somebody asked for a god, and they got me, so I'm going to be the best fucking god there's ever been. And considering that the previous batch of gods apparently built their thrones on smug superiority over nothing much, treating shinki like disposable napkins, and general horseshit, I don't think I'll even break a sweat surpassing them.

[When Shun arrives- hopefully through the front door, Temple Ebisu is rather tall- Unmi will be the one to greet him down in the entrance and he wastes no time in escorting the man to the elevator. Ebisu's office is up on the higher floors, of course, and it includes a small dining area.]

[Yes, there is yosenabe already set out waiting for Shun along with a bowl for Ebisu. Listen. He is a polite host.]

[It's not only Ebisu who's waiting for him, however. Standing behind him at the ready are two of his shinki, Kimi and Kunimi- the latter being his exemplar who was there with him on the first day he took an active interest in these new gods. Ebisu nods to Shun as he arrives.]


I'm glad you could make it.
bakusatsuo: (Once upon a time)

[personal profile] bakusatsuo 2018-09-24 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
The fuck does that even mean?

Maybe new gods keep appearing 'cause the heavens just need a fucking overhaul that badly. Apparently the old blood isn't trying that hard to step up their game.
rockthemonkey: (Shrimp joke goes here.)

i told him we didnt care about them or there rules so much but he thought we just haveto do what they tell us to because we're here
someone told him that

Indeed, the question then becomes whether that chaos was sown on purpose, or if it was all an extremely unfortunate accident. He did not appear to know what happened or why, and insisted such with a conviction that suggested to me that if he did cause it, he was not aware of it. It may be that, being a young god with little in the way of proper guidance, he does not even know that he possesses that power in the first place.

But yes, regardless, I imagine the chance that there are more among their number is certainly greater than the chance that they are the only ones. We may have to be prepared to face a whole pantheon of child gods, if the apparent goals of this cult are to be believed.
