[Hot on the heels of Amaterasu's announcement, there's an angry post from Barry. It shows up as fast as he can slam it out, because he is pissed.]

Awright, listen up, gods and shinki! And not the ones like me an' Hiyoko an' the others that've been comin' here from other places. I'm talkin' to the rest of you guys - the ones who already lived here before all this. You guys're supposed to know what's goin' on, right? And not a single one of you was able to see this comin' or stop the people who did it? What's the point of havin' all those shinki when they can't even do anything to save their goddess from some jerks with a photocopier and a book of matches? That precious perfect sunshine child She works so hard... tries so hard for all of us, every single day, and this is what she gets - a burned down temple that she has to apologize for. That's bullshit. We can do better. She deserves better.

(OOC: The strikethrough above was edited by Barry shortly after putting up the original post.)

And I, uh... kinda thought everybody knew that other part already. I mean, she comes to the public parties and stuff.

Even if you don't remember, a shinki who'd experienced something like this in life would retain enough experience to handle this with some sense even if they didn't know why. If you want to help her, doing this isn't helping her. There's a huge amount of people looking, no matter what you think, and we still haven't turned up anything. Doesn't that tell you anything in itself?

She might come to public parties, but she doesn't offer her name openly last I checked. When I met her during the picnic fire I had to coax her name out of her to get it at all. She doesn't broadcast her identity, but since you just did it for her clearly that's not going to help her anymore.

Yeah! It tells me they're not looking hard enough!

[Barry is a simple creature.]

You done yet? Yellin' at me is probably doin' her a big world of good, huh?

[revolutionfalcon]

You really are an idiot, aren't you?

I've already contacted her on that other post, and I'm certain being one of the ones to find her in that fire yesterday counts as more good than you've ever done her. Calling out reckless stupidity when I see it helps more than you probably realise.

[very_goodman]

Good to know you've got the whole thing handled all by yourself. Guess the rest of us can rest easy.

[revolutionfalcon]

Don't bother being intentionally obtuse, you're stupid enough for it to just look like more of that anyway.

I'm done here. Clearly you're not going to start thinking before you speak for other people and endanger their safety even more.

[very_goodman]

Fine by me! I never asked for your opinion anyway!
