From: Chikusa Kakimoto
Date: June 9

[As a general rule, Chikusa tends to look sort of like garbage, even on good days. For starers, he's so tall and lanky that one would be forgiven in thinking he doesn't a lot, despite the opposite of that being demonstratively true at any Far Shore event with free food. He also somehow manages to look perpetually exhausted, as if the world is really wearing him down and he'd love to get off the ride anytime now.]

[Today, however... He looks about as bad as when he first lost Axel, for anyone who were around to see him then. There's a distinct redness to his eyes that stands out in contrast to the shadows directly underneath them, as if he hasn't been getting any sleep. Spoilers: it's because he hasn't. Additionally, while there's no way for most people to know it, he's still wearing the same zombie beanie from when Minako came to visit.]

[Additionally, while the camera isn't focused on him and can only catch the top of the messy blond head, it's quite apparent that Chikusa is holding Ken close to him.]

...Hakkai-sama is gone.

[A post was already made about this subject? Joke's on you, Chikusa hasn't really looked at the BBS in days now.]

...But... His school isn't. And someone still needs to take care of that... So that's what I'll be doing. I'll be taking Ken and some things there today, if you need me.

[He doesn't promise that he'll speak to anyone, let alone help, and it's probably debatable if he'll even make eye contact with another living or afterliving creature... But he'll be there. Still holding onto Ken.]

If there's anyone who was using that place to teach... Let me know. Same on if there's anyone else who wants to teach.

Relatedly... I'll be starting to teach there as well. My subjects will be kanji, mathematics, murder, chemistry, first aid, housekeeping, and cooking...

[Going to... mention that one in the middle, Chikusa? No? Okay.]

I might... host some of those on the BBS if I remember. Hakkai-sama is very frugal, so the housekeeping class should be useful for newer gods, or temples that spend a lot. For cooking... What kind of recipes would people like to see more of...?

Hello, hi, how are you all!

[ Is D2 forcibly peppy? Only those who know him can tell. ]

Question! What's your favorite pastry, cookies, or the like? I'd like to bake but I can't really decide on what so I thought, why not ask! I'll take requests, and it's not limited to one kind if you can't decide on only one!

I'll be occupying Hibiki's kitchen for it so feel free to come be taste tester if you'd like!

[As usual with Ebisu, this video takes place within his office where he's cheerfully looking into the camera. Is a dandy little vest and button up on today again? Oh, absolutely.]

Greetings, everyone. I'm sure that you are all quite busy, with events transpiring as they have, but I am here today to draw your attention to a festival which is occurring all month. I understand that many of you are gods foreign to Japan and recent cultural trends, so I hope this proves to be informative.

In the city of Nara- Naramachi to be exact- there is an art festival that will be ongoing throughout all of June. It's really a rather unique event! You see, that part of town has the nickname of Nyaramachi, because it's rather famous for its local cat population. So the art festival which takes place this month is very cat oriented! Hopefully it can help ease some of the stress that we've all been under. I've been told there are a variety of events to attend, and various items that can be bought, such as pottery or toys.

Although... If there are some people who perhaps have the time for it, it does seem as though there is a little trouble, as there usually is with large Near Shore events such as this. If anyone has the time to check in on a few things... Well, it would be appreciated. For all that this is a very fun event, well, it is ultimately for the sake of the feline residents' health and happiness, you see. I'm sure it's not only the humans which would appreciate any helping hands.

From: Romeo

[Romeo looks confused as he looks into the camera]

Where did Fuwari go? She was a girl who came and was a god and she had a tiny temple in the woods and she was really nice and was miss Hibiki's friend. But her temple is gone now and I can't find her name in my phone. I know people sometimes disappear and their temples go too but she was only here for a few days and that's quicker than what normally happens.

And there was lots of people that day, lots and lots and a person who looked like a banana and I don't think I've seen them again either. [He definitely would remember the banana.]

So where did they all go?

myblueskies

From: Romeo
Date: 14th April

[Romeo is sat crossed legged on his bed, his phone propped up against a pile of books. He is in what seems to be his bedroom, on the wall behind him there are pictures stuck to the wall. Many of them childish drawings of people and places in the heavens. Some of much better quality are most likely gifts he has recieved off his friends. He is holding a soft toy and he is playing with it's ears as he waits for the camera to load properly.

Last time he had had big questions filling his head he had asked them on the BBS and got some very good answers, so it seemed like the best thing to do now that he had more.]

Hello everyone! It's Romeo again! So last night I had a dream, 'cept it wasn't a normal dream it was a memory from when I was alive.

[He knows he needs to be careful! That talking about this could be dangerous for him and for other people.] Don't worry! I'm not trying to push my head and remember more things and I spoke to Elfnein about the important bit.

[The important bit being Alfredo. His friend. The brave boy with the kindest smile and the strongest heart who had swore eternal friendship to him.]

But I got... Some questions I guess because I remembered things and I didn't know them or I did but I forgot and it's a bit confusing.

[Like the volcano had been confusing. When everything Romeo thought he knew was slightly off and the world was all a bit more complicated and scarier than he thought. He punched the air, keeping his spirits up.]

Did you know you could buy kids?

From: Anonymous
Date: 11th April

[The camera is a little shaky as it moves through corridors, twisting and turning. Whoever this mysterious poster is he is moving slowly, as if he were exploring somewhere dangerous and frightening.

There is a noise in the background and as the phone gets closer it is recognisable as singing. The phone moves around a door to a kitchen where Shen Wei can be found at a chopping board surrounded by various ingredients, meat and vegetables.

He is singing as he works. In full flow of the song. There's a soft laugh from whoever this mysterious individual with access to Shen Wei's temple might be.

The image fades and refocusing, clearly later. Or another day. It's hard to say but the camera is now at a different angle, as if the filmer might be in a tunnel, or hidey hole close to the ground.

This time Shen Wei at the oven, frying meat, boiling noodles and once again he is singing as he works.

The footage is posted with just a single line in text.]

See he is not as stuffy and strict as he makes out to be!

starfestival

From: Orihime Date: April 8th 2017 (Morning)

[ Rise and shine early birds! There's a prim-looking young woman who is smiling broadly and doing her darndest to contain herself as she speaks formally to all who will listen. She is well-dressed enough, but her hair is completely down. ]

Good morning, all who dwell in the Far Shore! I must speak with you about an urgent matter - and so I resolved to use this device once more, to the best of my ability.

[ She holds up a single finger. ]

I have just learned that the regular training scheduled to engage with new gods would be in service of one new god! So I have made the following bargain with Amaterasu-sama -- that I would personally speak with and train this new god in the ways of the Far Shore in exchange for a holiday excursion for all who would join us! I just... could not stand idly by after you all worked so hard and dealt such a blow to those who threatened us!

[ She lowers her hand. ]

There is just one small problem...

[ She looks expectantly up once more, a resigned sort of smile there. ]

I do not know all of you as well as I would like! So if I were to bring a suggestion or two for such an excursion before Amaterasu-sama, I do not know what that should be! I have... certainly never been able to consider such things myself, so I would not be a good person to decide for all of you.

Therefore, would you do me the favor of telling me: where do you consider a beautiful place to travel to and relax? Perhaps a place that is better suited to entertainment? I heard of a place called Capypa Land...

[ She shakes her head. ] This is not about me. [ And calms herself again. ]

Unfortunately we do not have much time, so please-!!

[ She bows her head, a little awkwardly since she's holding the phone. ]

[[ OOC Plotting Post is over here! ]]

subconmodo

Someone please, please chime in. You agree that this isn't healthy, right? I'm not the only one, right?

Public shaming is perfectly warranted in this instance, right?!

[attached is a photo of Hat Kid. She looks confused. In one hand she holds a bottle labeled "Meatball Wine." In the other, a sign. It says "I got caught drinking marinara sauce and apparently do so 'some of the time."]

[Yes. This is basically a pet shaming picture]

Hey everyone - shinki friends especially! I’ve been talking to a few people recently about more advanced spell lessons and I think today will be a great opportunity. Message me here if you’re having trouble finding me, okay?

See you there!

CelePara Prince Hour!

[ The screen goes black for a second, then is filled with a logo declaring this broadcast something from "MPriM Pictures". The logo is a goat in an oval picture frame. Lifting its head, it bleats.

This is going to be good. ]

abgrund

From: Hades
Date: March 22nd

As some of you may be aware, a large group of bees have moved into an abandoned temple in the Western District. Some bee sting injuries of children have occured.

I intend to take these bees under my protection and move them to my temple. If there are no objections, it will be done by the 25th.

[ Ain will be converting the bees to void-touched versions of themselves, and this will let him influence them to become calmer once they take up residence in his temple. They will still go about their foraging rituals but avoid stinging people, only flying away if disturbed. However, the honey they produce will become poisonous. This has been cleared by the mods o/ ]

yoshinocherry

From: Shinju
Date: March 20th

[The video feed opens up to Yuna's smiling cheerfully at the camera, which is held at arm's length for this particular broadcast.]

Hello, everyone!

I was thinking, it's the right season for flower viewing, but so many of the cherry trees around here skipped blooming altogether... [A real tragedy, and for a short moment she looks particularly pensive before brightening up again.] But, I have a tree in my temple that's in bloom right now!

[And, here, she aims the camera to the couryard behind her, revealing a large tree, blooming in a multitude of differently colored and shaped blossoms.]

It's not a huge park full of trees or anything, but I thought that having a party for anyone who may have wanted to inulge in some flower-viewing would be fun! [The camera now comes back to her.] My birthday's on the 21st, so that's probably the best time to have people over, right? [She laughs lightly before continuing.] I know it's short notice, but anyone who wants to come over and have a nice relaxing day is more than welcome. I'll leave the details of where my temple is attached to this post, so please consider coming if you're interested!

[The feed ends there, and true to her word, a set of separate images is attached to the post - a map with a location in the Southwest District circled, and a photo of the temple itself.]

Hey, thanks to everyone who helped look for my cat earlier. I really appreciate it.

[Ren just wants to show his gratitude in an earnest way. It's something he should have done a while back.]

So a lot of time has passed since that incident. Here's a question. Do you have hobbies outside of your God and Shinki duties? I'm fond of reading and playing games.

What about you?

[It might not be a bad idea to be more familiar with the folks around here.]

trustheart

From: Ishtar
When: March 5th [frontdated]

... So I went to sleep last night, and found myself home. Went through a whole couple months, a bunch of shit happened, and then I wake up here again after it's all over. Kinda feeling jerked around a bit, but what's happened has happened.

Anyway, I've been hearing prayers from people whose relationships are in trouble lately, and if this place is going to insist I be a love goddess, then I guess I'd better do something about it. Problem is, the soulless shinki this place assigned me and I haven't been getting on at all, and considering it's been a few months since I saw him from my perspective, I don't think it'd be a good idea to try and force it.

This isn't easy to admit, but if I'm gonna do this, I need help. Would anyone be willing to help me stake out the Tokyo Museum for a few nights? There's definitely ayakashi involved, so I definitely know I shouldn't go it alone.

We wish to extend congratulations to a goddess who has gained greatly in popularity and veneration. Although you are new come to the Heavens, you have earned a name among the most respected of our number.

Apollo, as a God of Fortune, you must shoulder great responsibility to maintain harmony in your domain and promote peace, prosperity and happiness throughout the Near Shore. Please consider yourself free to request an audience should you wish for guidance in your new role, or need to bring any items of import to our attention.

We ask you all to join us in honoring Apollo as the newest God of Fortune among the multitude of gods.

[OOC: The Heavens will not be responding to comments, but please feel free to thread with other characters on this post!]

pure_radiantics

From: Kairi Date: March 2

[ Kairi sits in the shade of a tree with the Soulless Shinki temple behind her. ]

I've given it a lot of thought... and I want to ask if there are any gods out there that don't have any shinki right now.

[ She takes another deep breath. ]

I can't talk about it too much right now, but after losing my goddess, the first person I would have gone to... he's gone as well. I spent a long time weighing my options the last time this happened - maybe too long. I want to try to be decisive this time.

The first few months I was here, I hardly had a day I wasn't busy helping my god with his prayers or training with the other shinki at my temple. I miss that activity and those bonds, but I miss the impact I made in the lives of people on the Near Shore more. I'm a shinki so I can't do that as well on my own as with a god who will see me as a partner.

If there's a god who thinks that we could work well together, I'd be happy to talk with you some more.

Posted: January 29

[The camera isn't exactly steady as it's turned left and right, showing an empty space where a temple used to be. When it's turned back to Sakon's face, he looks despondent with none of his usual cheer.]

So. Uh...

[He looks back over his shoulder, then down at the ground.]

I'm kinda on the streets again...uh...if you can call it that...

[He sighs and it jostles the camera a bit.]

I didn't eat too much this time! I promise! But that's...I mean, nothing was left behind at all this time, so...yeah...

[Suddenly this image appears on your network feed. It's a cry for help. ]

I seem to have a pawblem. A friend of mine is missing.
His name is Spots and his current whereabouts are unknown.

Like the poster says, please assist if you can. The sooner we find him the better.

He gets temperamental when he's hungry :(

Of course, I'll hand out a purrfect reward to the person who contributes the most.

Contact this address for more information. Thank you for your time.

Posted by: Edge
Date: 26 January

[Edge puts himself on full view in the video for the sake of people who don't know him, emphasizing things such as the mask, the cloak, the weapons at his side. Though it isn't a black stealth outfit concealing his form entirely, what else could anyone call him but a ninja?]

Hello, everyone! My name is Edge, and as you've no doubt deduced, I am a ninja. More to the point, I'm a ninja willing to teach those who want to learn the techniques I have to offer. Stealth, disguise, throwing weapons, combat techniques both armed and unarmed that focus on quick and aggressive takedowns -- I'll even teach what ninjutsu I can, if I find students with the knack for it. All of these are techniques we can use in our efforts to fufill prayers, fight ayakashi, or investigate trouble in the Far Shore or the Near. Of course, you don't need to learn all of them, if you're only interested in stealth, or physical combat, or whatever suits you!

[Edge glances to the side, slightly.] This was... originally intended to be a joint effort with Ayumu. I think she would want me to continue it, though I'm not going to be able to teach everything she could have, so sorry about that.

In any case. [Putting that somber thought behind.] If you're interested, do let me know. Classes will be held at my god Saber's temple, flexible times for people who might be busy. We'll work it out once I know who's in. Hope to see you there!

[Seriously, don't ask how many takes this video required.]
