HEAVEN'S BBS | VOICE

[talkbirdytome]

I know everybirdie is really busy and there's been a lot going an lately but I've been thinking a lot about what happened at the party.

[Hiyoko is well aware that a lot of other stuff happened right after and there were plenty of gods and shinki still dealing with the fallout from that. That's why she gave it a few days. But now it's time to see if anybirdie else is thinking along the same lines as her.]

That fire was obviously set by people who aren't happy with Amaterasu. I'm not sure if it's her they don't like, or if she's put some unpopular policies in place, but we can't really ignore an attack like this. Has this group tired anything like this before? Have they made any other demands?

[Because 'down with Amaterasu' is one thing, but 'down with the heavens?' What are they supposed to do? Start hurling their temples at the near shore? That demand is way too vague.]

I also heard about an incident with poisoned chocolates. That was before I got here but the whole thing sounded pretty fishy. Does anybirdie else think that might have been an attempt to discredit Amaterasu? And if there any other incidents like that, I wouldn't mind hearing about them.

What you guys think?

You're beginning to sound like a detective.

[talkbirdytome]

Probably.
But somebirdie needed to get on this case.
It might as well be me.

[moonlitknight]

Somebirdie didn't step up. You did.
Don't devalue yourself.

[talkbirdytome]

[The encouragement is both touching and surprising. Zero is usually so prickly that the sweetness is unexpected.]


Thanks.
There's no way I could just let guys like this do whatever they want.
I am hoping a few people will step up and join me.
But even if they don't, I'm already getting a lot of good info.

[moonlitknight]

Tell me where to go and I'll be there.

[ It was the least he could do after everything she'd done for him. ]

[talkbirdytome]

Thanks.
Good to know you have my back.
Right now I'm still gathering info.
But if you hear anything about the past incidents, could you pass it along?

[After she sends that, it occurs to Hiyoko that she ought to share one of her more interesting observations.]

And keep an eye out.
Newbies arrive every ten days.
It seems like some suspicious incident happens every other time newbies show up.
Which might be a coincidence, but it's worth being on the lookout for.

[moonlitknight]

[ He'd gathered the 10 day rule about new arrivals. It was odd but then this entire situation was odd. Though, the last was news to him. ]

That means things will be relatively quiet with the next batch of new arrivals.

[talkbirdytome]

If the pattern holds up.
And if it does, we'd better be on our toes for the batch after them.

[moonlitknight]

Don't worry, I won't slack off.

[talkbirdytome]

[He can't see it, but she grins.]

Me either.
Talk to you later, okay?
