Heaven's BBS


From: Aidos
Date: June 28

It's been a while since I last posted the timeline of events. We've had a lot of new people showing up. Some might be curious about when we started arriving and everything that's happened afterward.

These are my notes, but I haven't been here since the beginning. If there's anything you'd like to add or question, please feel free.


February 15, the beginning:
There was a banquet to welcome new gods. Native gods were given instructions to make them feel welcome and help them acclimate. Amaterasu was present but she didn't show herself.

New arrivals.

February 24, a rift on the Near Shore:
The assault and ensuing battle lasted until mid afternoon of the next day. Amaterasu again sounded the call to arms but didn't show herself.

New arrivals.

March 5, Hinamatsuri celebration:
A banquet, as well as Heavenly orders to prevent a number of unoccupied boats on the Kamo River from striking the banks. The boats seemed supernaturally driven towards beaching on the edge of the river.

New arrivals.

March 15, poisoned chocolates:
This was when I arrived.

There were a bunch of leftover chocolates from White Day, so the Heavens asked us to give them out. However something went wrong at some point where they were delivered from the heavens to us because all the chocolate was ayakashi infused. Some of them were small and tried to make people commit suicide. The strange ayakashi from the Susano'o rebellion were also present here, and those only attacked gods and shinki.

All chocolates were of the same brand, Fujisaki Confectioneries. Anybody on the far shore who ate that chocolate had food poisoning.

(The Heavens are starting to look into this now?)

We don't have any hard numbers, but Amaterasu did release a statement after it happened. But considering how many chocolates were given out I doubt we managed to collect all of it back probably somewhere in thirties or above.

New arrivals.

A statement from Amaterasu.

March 26, cherry blossom viewing:
A completely normal cherry blossom viewing at night. No attacks. The Heaven's provided a banquet.

New arrivals.

April 5, school ayakashi:
There was a large public school in Tokyo where most of the teachers fell ill. It seemed suspicious to the Heavens, so we were sent to look into it. Apparently the illness was upsetting entire families, some of the teachers were looking to quit and a lot of the students were planning on transferring.

We heard a male voice say, "Ah, yes. I know you're all eager to go home, but please indulge me just this once. I need your spirits now, students. Be sure they are nice and energetic for me," over the speakers. The doors locked and then there were jello-like ayakashi with cords.

The jello ayakashi arrived after the doors locked. The students panicked and tried to get out of the doors and windows.

Everything unlocked after they were dealt with. The ayakashi cords seemed to come from principal, but I don't know if he was the person who was speaking or if there was somebody else. Principal was passed out and covered in green jello, but otherwise he seemed fine.

New arrivals.

April 15, spring cleaning:
We were asked to clean out the Main Hall of the Heavens, older temples and were given dinner. There were some interesting finds, but other than that no attacks.

New arrivals.

April 19, Susano'o's rebellion:
Susano'o's warning

Susano'o had augmented ayakashi for his own gain (?). There was also a shinki that went out of control, but seems to be fine now. Susano'o died, impaled on his shinki's claws.

Amaterasu's statement on the rebellion

Suijin's report

April 25, the cherry blossom fires:
We were given a picnic, food provided by the Heavens. This time the cherry blossoms' scent was intoxicating (why? It's hard to look into it since they've burned.) Around sunset the fire began, spreading through them unnaturally fast. There were papers that read "Down with the Heavens! Down with Amatarasu!" There's a possibility this incident was tied to the poisoned chocolates during March.

New arrivals.

April 28, ayakashi in heaven:

A shinki turned into an akayashi from asking after his memories. Every god who named him was affected by blight.

He died and did not return.

Add's statement

May 5, despondent Near Shore residents:

Humans were walking into things and getting hit by things and not reacting. They weren't paying attention to the danger around them (brought to mind the school ayakashi incident), but this time it affected an entire town instead of just one school.

The longer we were there the worse we felt. It seemed as though energy was being drained from our bodies? I spiraled into thinking about all the things I wasn't able to do. Did anyone else have a similar experience?

There was a large park in the center of this town, and it had a weird circle. Picture attached It was around the entire park, there were candles around the edges. It looked like there was a cup in the middle, with a swirling eye pattern mask on it.

Assumption: a large scale ayakashi induced this state. (Demon?)

New arrivals.

May 16, clean up:
The gods and shinki were called on to help clean up the mess that the ayakashi made. Helped rebuild, clear off the streets of debris, help in hospitals, etc. The closest thing to being a hero here.

New arrivals.

May 17, new gods call:
Mandatory god meeting.

The heavens have been looking into how we got here. Results are largely inconclusive, but whoever it is, they aren't in Japan. Which leaves most of the world. They didn't ask for help, or offer anyway we could chip in, so we're probably still considered outsiders to the gods that are native to this world.

May 26, parade of the dead:
There was a parade in honor of a shrine. People from the Far Shore were pulled towards it. Once the parade reached the shrine, there was an attack. Seemingly from the undead, some people were confronted with the ghosts(?) of people they knew were dead at home?

There seems to be no explanation for how those souls ended up in this world. Possibly it was due to the same influence that brought our spirits here and divided them up into gods and shinki. Was it possible that the entity bringing us to this world made a mistake? Or possibly they meant for this to occur?

New arrivals.

June 5, beach:
The heavens booked a beach. Nothing stressful happened this time around. Overall pleasant.

(I think Amaterasu was here?)

New arrivals.

June 16, god/shinki training:
Since people wanted to know more about their abilities and duties in the Far shore, the Heavens and Bishamon hosted an open training session at Bishamon's temple. It was a chance to learn about what we're supposed to do in the heavens and what's expected of us.
--
June 16, suicide ayakashi:
There was a very sudden, very disturbing increase in the number of suicides committed in Tokyo recently. While this sometimes happens for naturally occurring reasons, the Heavens have a suspicion that something was wrong here.

I'm not sure if this is related to the March chocolate incident, but both had suicide ayakashi.

New arrivals.

June 26, visiting home regions, down with Amaterasu part 2:
We were invited to the home regions of the god's we're filling in for. New shrines for the newer gods that have been pulled here were constructed. People went all over the world.

The "Down with the Heavens. Down with Amaterasu." flyers made a reappearance. It seems like these are now regular occurrences, according to the Greek gods, at least. Kind of weird that they'd be putting these flyers so far away from Amaterasu's home turf. (Maybe trying to gather people of the same mindset? Is there a reason somebody would have such a grudge against her?)

Flyers found in:
Greece
India
Egypt
Iraq

They're also being distributed to humans.

Just like last time, there was an arson. This time it was aimed directly at Amaterasu, her temple was set on fire.

Amaterasu was found and is alright.

Amaterasu's statement.

New arrivals.

The only problem with that is whether or not people would be willing to step forth to share whatever information they've gained.

Nothing specific that I can think of right now. So I'll leave it in your capable hands.
lostinshadows: ([36])

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-03-25 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
It'll definitely help make investigations easier.

Do you want me to bring anything while you're setting up?


[Like whatever may help them sort through this accurately.

Lavi's got his own fair share of notebooks, or rather scattered pieces of notes he's made while spending his time in the library.
lostinshadows: ([42])

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-03-26 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'll see if I can find them first.

But I'll also be over as soon as I can.
lostinshadows: ([57])

> action?

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-03-26 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
See you there then.

[And with that, he'll go to see if he could obtain a copier and a label maker.

Unfortunately, Lavi only manages to get a label maker before he goes to find Deku's temple. It's definitely big, not something Lavi is used to originally.

Eventually, he does manage to find the room and peeks in.]


Hello?
lostinshadows: ([38])

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-03-26 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Hey there.

[Lavi smiles at him in greeting, though there's a curious glance at the couch.]

Not too hard. Need a hand there?
lostinshadows: ([51])

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-03-26 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Alright. [Lavi won't protest. He's seen a lot of people who are much stronger than they look.

But he does take a cursory glance around the room, remembering it all.]


If it's what you've said, then new people arriving seems to be a common occurrence. But having file cabinets are a good idea.

[He lifts up the label maker.]

I got the label maker, by the way.
lostinshadows: ([70])

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-03-26 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
I've talked to Shun about it before, but neither of us are able to come up with a feasible answer for that. If it's scheduled, then it means someone is doing it on purpose.

And if that's the case, then it can't be one of the newer gods.

[Lavi gives a nod, walking over to him.]

It's quite a spacious room you've got here.
lostinshadows: ([48])

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-03-26 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
If it was somebody from Japan, then perhaps one of the foreign gods? I don't believe anyone from the Near Shore would have been able to get close enough to Amaterasu's temple to set it on fire.

[But even so, there's just something about it that doesn't strike well with Lavi.]

It's definitely feel homey in here.
lostinshadows: ([25])

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-03-26 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
From your post, you've said there were sightings in Greece and India, right?

It'd be good to keep track of which god comes in and which of them ends up disappearing.

[Lavi gives a nod.]

It'll definitely work out.
lostinshadows: ([59])

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-03-26 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure they did, but I don't want to make assumptions either. While I can understand Greece since they have a huge and widely known pantheon, I want theorize that they'd want to make every other local gods and goddesses out in the world aware of whatever's going on - or at least, stir up talks amongst the deities.

I'll start making a list of gods then and see which ones we can cross out. How often does any of the old gods post on the BBS?
lostinshadows: ([32])

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-03-26 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Guess we can only be sure if people step up to report it.

[But even then, how often is that? Even while Lavi's visited some of the older Norse temples, he hasn't seen flyers himself.

Or rather, he hasn't paid enough attention.]


So the one to really talk to would be Bishamonten. I doubt getting answers from Amaterasu and her advisors would prove to be easy.
lostinshadows: ([07] Come crashing down from far above)

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-03-26 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
It's a possibility. There's no way to know for sure unless we go to Greece ourselves to find all of the flyers.

[thoughtful hum.]

Maybe it'd be good to get her insight then? Though you've probably asked her some questions on the matter.
