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!]]

Of course there's a chance I'll be threatened. Anonymously if they've got any sense, or they'll have more sense than that and keep quiet until they have a chance to strike at me. Not a deterrent, either way.
And that's never an easy question. Ultimately, I'd say you need to talk with them to figure out some kind of compromise, if one of you is going to be completely uncomfortable doing it completely the other one's way. Find the bare minimum amount of control they need you to take for them, see how it compares to the maximum you're able to give.
But...
[He pauses, almost long enough that it seems like he's going to abandon the train of thought.]
...I think, if possible, you should try to work with them.
If someone isn't comfortable standing for themselves, it seems likely that they'd be better off with someone who doesn't want to take advantage of them, even if it's more difficult to understand each other and get along.

[Youji smiles serenely.]
All good advice, and I might have been willing to try, but it's not really... well, it's not really any use to be concerned over anymore. He's a god now, somehow, and doesn't remember me at all.
