[Normally, Shun doesn't let people know exactly what he's going to be doing in the wake of a loss. He'll just drop off for a day or two and come back and carry on with things. This, however, is something he's going to need more time for, and he'd rather make his position clear in advance.]

I'm going to be taking care of some personal matters for the next five or so days, and it'll mostly be in Egypt and Iraq. If you contact me and it's not an emergency, don't expect a response after today.

[On the other hand...well, this is going to be a fairly significant undertaking. He could probably use help if anyone's willing, and pride aside, he owes more than just his own effort, he feels.]

If you're not a stranger and you want to help, contact me privately and I can give you information. I'll need some eyes out around here too, and this is more than a one-person job.

[The observant may notice that the name "Inanna" is missing from the gods list, and that a plot in Southeast District that used to house a temple that was a mix between a medieval castle and a Middle Eastern styled courtyard house is now empty. Or mostly empty. It looks like someone came by at a very early hour and somehow managed to encourage a large swathe of mountain lilies to bloom across the fresh earth where the temple used to be.

Only those closer to Shun are likely to know what the full ramifications of that disappearance are, though.]

This is probably silly, but does anyone want to help me fold a thousand paper cranes? It's called a senbazuru and in Japanese culture, the legend goes if you fold a thousand cranes, you'll get a wish granted. Or good luck or happiness, depends on the source.

We're the wish granters and the happiness bringers in the legends, but it can't hurt if we make some good look for ourselves, right? At best, maybe some good fortune comes our way, at worst, we make something nice that proved we were here.

Here are directions if you don't know how to fold a paper crane. I'm also happy to teach how to fold them and/or meet up if people want to fold cranes together. (Fair warning, I'm not a great conversationalist.)

[It's unusual for Shun to post to the BBS in relatively quick succession from the last time he did - he's usually around every month or so, if that. But he's had unusual losses recently, and considering how much he's remarked on how difficult it is to know when a shinki has disappeared as opposed to a god, he figures he might as well do the useful thing and make it public.]

For anyone who knew them, Tenjoin Fubuki and Munakata Reisi are both gone. Fubuki disappeared about a week and a half ago, and Munakata just before that dream spell hit. I figure they'd been here long enough that there's people out there who'd want to know.

If you want a place to pay respects, I have something set up at my shrine on the Near Shore.

[Attached is a small map indicating the location of said shrine, in a quiet street near a train station in a suburb on the outskirts of Tokyo.]

[[There's a log up for anyone who wants to visit the shrine.]]

So, did anyone else run into the kid god on the volcano? I hear the Heavens have been claiming he was defeated, but me and a few others were there for that and "defeat" isn't the word I would have used. It looked a lot more like he sealed himself away or escaped.

We need to be prepared for the possibility of him coming back, but if anyone actually got him to talk instead of just retaliating, it'd be useful to have that information to work with. I get the impression nobody told him what he was going to be dealing with, but he definitely thinks us and the old gods are one and the same, so he's going to need convincing if any of you decided there was a misunderstanding.

[Or, as he doesn't really want to put it in case the Heavens are overseeing the conversation, in case anyone decided they want to protect him. Shun's been meaning to do this for a few days, but he's been given even more reason to be focusing on work in the last two, so why not use this to take his mind off things a bit.]

[Being an old-timey Japanese person, Ayumu's unfamiliar with Christmas Eve or Christmas traditions. What she is acquainted with is New Year's and it's coming up very soon. Since her return from the dead, Ayumu's been too busy recovering from her ordeal and its fallout this month to really announce herself.

Between returning to the Shinsengumi and getting affairs in order at her own temple, Ayumu simply hasn't had the time or energy to dedicate to making all the social calls she'd like. There's something she's been thinking about doing, however, and Ayumu's running out of time to do it.

So here is a video of a very solemn and subdued looking Ayumu Yamazaki in a plum-blossom patterned kimono with her hair done up in a sleek bun. The eyepatch over her left eye is absent today, revealing the facial scarring marring her brow and the drooping lid in stark clarity. Her posture is straighter than it's been in quite some time. She appears to be seated at a kitchen table, her hands clasped neatly in front of her.

After a moment, Ayumu begins to speak quietly and evenly in the Kyoto accent she hasn't used since her first time here as a goddess.]

Hello. My name is Ayumu Yamazaki. I'm also known as Vesta and have gone by Lady Yumi on this shore in the past. I'm aware that many of you do not know me. Many of those that do are not aware that prior to my life here as a shinki, I was once a goddess. It's because of those who were once here but have long since passed on or vanished that I am speaking now.

[Ayumu bows her head briefly in a moment of silence before lifting it once more.]

On New Year's Eve, I'll be holding a candlelit vigil at my temple to honor and bid a proper farewell to those who've left us, whether it be through choice, death, or unknown forces. A new year awaits us all, one that may prove to be full of better prospects but I believe that in order to greet it fully with open arms, we must first let go of what binds us in the past. If anyone would like to do the same, you are all welcome to join me at my temple.

[Ayumu includes directions to her temple in the western district. When she's done, she bows deeply to the camera then straightens up. Just before the video cuts out, there's the sound of a very demanding meow coming from off-screen.]

[It had taken Shun a long time to decide whether to post this at all, and an even longer time as to whether he should bother screening it from Ren. He knows in theory these sorts of things are supposed to be a surprise, but he doesn't think Ren would mind too much if it wasn't.

At the same time, he doesn't really want to settle for what he "won't mind too much". Which is why he's here at all despite the fact that he knows half the Far Shore is probably going to be standing in line to give him (however lighthearted) shit for it.]

I'm organising a gathering on the 12th for a friend's birthday. I don't know enough about who Ren knows to have messaged people privately, but if you're friends with him or Eric, then consider yourself allowed to come. Or if I've told you about him and you want to meet him, or I know you well enough to know you're not going to ruin things. And I mean actually know you, before any idiots who think meeting someone twice is the same thing as knowing them say anything.

It'll be at Koishikawa Korakuen Garden at around noon that day, but before that I could use a couple of people who know more about how to organise this sort of celebratory thing than I do. Or know more about making frivolous sweet food or whatever else. This isn't exactly something I've done before.

[There's a map reference at the bottom for Koishikawa Korakuen - a garden towards the north of Tokyo, near Iidabashi and Korakuen Stations - as well as the specific area of the garden to meet.

(This birthday party announcement brought to you by someone who prefers to avoid the word "party" when at all possible, and also most other forms of harmless fun, and has very much never done this before.)]

We wish to extend our congratulations to two gods who over this past year have 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.

As Gods 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 yourselves free to request an audience should you wish for guidance in your new roles, or need to bring any other items of import to our attention.

We ask you all to join us in honoring Li Tieguai and Nekhbet as new Gods 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!]

I've spoken to a few other people about trying to put together a record of disappeared shinki, since it's harder to tell when they disappear than with gods. If you have a shinki that's gone or know one who has, talk to Wendy at the Shinki Sanctuary so she can record it.

[His link is to her previous post on it, so people know where it is.]

But the main reason I'm posting is that I've updated the record of events. One of the gods who'd been here longest, Midoriya Izuku (Aidos), used to keep a posted record of events here that he'd update every few months. The last update was in June, and he's vanished from here recently. So I thought I'd update the thing myself since I've been here long enough and people keep asking about what's been going on before they were here.

His last update is here, for anyone who hasn't read it yet. I'm not copying it here, otherwise it'll make this twice as long.

( cut for length, cw: non-graphic murderplot talk )

If anyone thinks there's anything that should be added or wants more information on something, go ahead and ask. But if you just want to complain about specific people or things, go make your own post. This one's for reference.

[True to his word, Shun will screen or delete comments he thinks are in bad faith.]

[On the morning of the 26th, a post appears on the network consisting of a single flyer, looking like something that was initially posted on social media. It's in soft pastel colours, and involves a lot of pictures of cute, stylised cats.

Remember all those strays that were going around not so long ago...?]

Calico Cat Cafe Adoption Day
For all those good kittens and cats out there in need of a home!

October 27th
Entrance fee waived - get to know the cats before you adopt!
Volunteer help also needed, compensation negotiable

Please help us find loving owners for all our new friends!

[There's a little more detail on the flyer - the cafe address, animal shelters in attendance, assistance for those adopting on the day, a number to contact for volunteering (with mentions of both needing people willing to do paperwork and those who can supervise nice play between the visitors and cats), and a particular mention of a sudden recent spike in cats they've had to take in alongside their plea for help. There is, however, no addition from the poster, and there's probably at least one proxy involved with the making of this post. He's exactly that determined to make sure nobody finds out who posted this, and considering how few Far Shore residents still come to Calico nowadays, Shun is certain enough only the miniscule amount of people he's ever spoken about his occasional workplace to would even have a suspicion of who did.

Anyone with further questions may get an anonymous answer, most likely with the appearance of being copypasted from another Q+A page.]

[[A mingle log will be posted for this later today! Shun has had it with these something something cats in this something something cafe and knows half the Far Shore is obsessed with cats, so...profit?]]

[The video cuts to Axel, smiling tiredly. He must be in bed, given that there are pillows behind him and he's covered up to his chest in sheets. It's all white, looks pretty idyllic.]

Sorry for that... Extended absence. I collapsed while caring for the sacred fire. Gave my shinki a bit of a scare.

[He laughs a little, but it turns into a cough.]

Basically, I burned myself out. Any of you have advice on what to do while you're supposed to be resting? I'd appreciate it; nice as this vacation is, I'm gonna go stir-crazy here.

very_goodman

[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.)

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:

( Cut for length! )

[[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!]]

Has anyone ever noticed how many conventionally attractive people there are here? I know it's heaven but there are seriously a lot of attractive people here.

Just a random observation.

If anyone finds any vultures picking through their temple, a handful of them escaped from the grounds of mine earlier. They should look like this.

img001.jpg [The picture is out the front of Shun’s sunken-into-a-hill temple, and shows him standing with one arm out. On the arm are two different vultures, the one on the left a typical bald-headed dark brown and pink one, the other a much lighter brown with a downy white head and neck.]

If they’re not doing any damage, they should come back in their own time, so don’t make a fuss.

Since I’ve spoken to others with temple animals before – do they have to feed? I doubt rotting meat is going to be easy to come by naturally in the afterlife.

If anyone wants to help me make sure these things aren’t going to attack people on sight or anything ridiculous like that, or knows more about vultures than what I can find by a basic internet search, then you might as well visit now while I'm with them. I’ll be able to call them off if they do try anything unpredictable. [He knows at least one other person has attack-happy temple animals, so it seems like a fair caution to take.]

[[Log for anyone who wants to visit vulture temple or get visited by asshole vultures is here!]]

If anyone here has any kind of power that could either create or replicate a prosthetic limb, I could use your help. My shinki is missing one arm from just past the elbow onwards.

If it helps, he has the remains of his previous one. It looks like it was modelled on a skeletal hand rather than a normal one, but fixing that isn't an option anyway.

Another question for anyone with any knowledge of ceramics - what's the finest kind you know made out of?

[He probably doesn't want to know, he has vague suspicions from what little he does know about ceramics, but he's asking anyway.]
