[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.

She hasn't done anything wrong!

[fixed_destiny]

She might have, before we arrived. Doesn't it seem odd to you that someone or several someones would target a person who is in theory nothing but kindness and joy? If she really is sweetness and light, then anyone at all who knows her or met her or has even heard of her would laugh off such accusations, which would render all those flyers pointless.

[very_goodman]

I don't believe it! They're probably just tryin' to disgrace her good name.

[fixed_destiny]

If everyone knows she's so kind and helpful, then wouldn't it be pointless to try to stir rebellion?

Perhaps she's new to her role, and a previous Amaterasu was a very different being indeed.

[very_goodman]

Maybe. Who knows. But whatever's goin' on, it's wrong.

[fixed_destiny]

And should be investigated a little more thoroughly. Hopefully with some of the old gods' cooperation that can actually be done now.

[very_goodman]

I just hope they let us help.

[fixed_destiny]

If it helps you feel a little better about this situation I don't think they have a choice anymore.

[very_goodman]

Better late than never, I guess.

[fixed_destiny]

And most importantly, Amaterasu survived the attack and now everyone knows that it's more than just posters and discontent.

Protecting her in the future is no longer a matter of someone dismissively going 'Oh it's just flyers' anymore. She'll be safer while we figure out what's going on and why.

[very_goodman]

Yeah... you're right. There's no way they'd let somethin' like this happen twice.
