[Video]
Posted: June 4th
From: Hachiman
[The video feed shows a rather spartan room in what appears to be a simple, old-fashioned Japanese building -- dark-stained wood framing, tatami with a hint of green left in the grass, a shoji screen that's been pushed open to reveal part of the gardens. Hijikata sits in the middle of the screen, dressed in a plain black yukata with a simple crest embroidered into the shoulders. Those familiar with Shinto mythology might recognize it as Hachiman's, though it's common enough to have been used for a number of different groups and households, including Hijikata's own in life.]
This is Hijikata Toshizou, the current incarnation of Hachiman. I apologize if any of this has already been said on the BBS. I'm still not as accustomed to this sort of technology as I'd like to be, so I'm sure I've missed a number of previous discussions. That said, I have a couple of open announcements.
Regarding the recent incident at a festival on the Near Shore:
It strikes me that the creatures we fought there were, in a sense, not unlike many of us. Souls taken from their proper time and place, and brought here. It doesn't seem beyond the realm of possibility, or even likelihood, that the incident had a connection to whatever force disposed of our predecessors and has been bringing us here to replace them.
[His expression, already serious, hardens into something outright murderous for a moment.]
If that's true, then on the off-chance that whoever is behind it monitors this network, I want them aware that my opposition to them is now a personal matter.
[He pauses, calming himself a little.]
I'd also like to discuss more generally the concerns that have come up in recent weeks and months about the treatment of shinki. If a shinki has no power to reject an unwanted bond with a god they never chose, then it seems to me that gods are going to need to be responsible for policing each other's behavior towards their shinki. Anyone interested in being part of such an effort should discuss the matter with me. I'm especially interested in hearing from shinki about what sort of systems it would be helpful for them to have in place.
That will be all, for the time being.
[[OOC: tl;dr of what's behind the cut: Hijikata is pissed about his theory about the zombie incident, and interested in brainstorming about forming some kind of Shinki Defense Squad with any other gods who think the shinki situation is pretty BS, hit him up!]]

likewise
Even if there was more than one party acting against the Heavens at the outset, having interests that intersect that closely would make it fairly likely that they'd be working together by this point.
Running this sort of organization is something I've spent a lot of time doing. Eros meant well, I'm sure, but for better or for worse, there are a lot of people here who have... more limited experience with handling conflicts.
I've heard two separate reports of shinki being forced to nora at this point, though it seems the same god is behind both incidents. I'd like to be able to address this matter in particular as soon as possible, so I'll certainly be working to set things up as quickly as I can.
no subject
[At Hijikata's remark on having run things like this before, Shun nods in a manner that says the information doesn't surprise him at all. Hijikata has always had that kind of feel about him.]
I've been working in these kinds of situations for a few years now as well, so I'm used to it. Meaning well only means so much if you don't know what you're doing, and I'd trust you to have that knowledge more than I would him.
I only heard about the one who made a point of it on the network, though I'm not surprised someone low enough to do that to one person would do it to more. The quicker they're found, the better for all of us.
