[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.

I know this may seem like such a trite and of little worthy regard given all that has happened over the last several weeks, but truly, I am a fool who has allowed their thoughts to be consumed with but one thing when I should be focused on my service here. Forgive this, and my fool's heart, but I feel as if I can no longer simply let this fester in my mind.

What does it mean if the very idea of love brings naught but profound pain? The sort that makes your chest ache tremendously, and your mind to burn as if buried in embers. When the very idea of it inspires tears, and no happiness can be found?

I can find none who know this pain. Am I damaged in some way? Is my mind and heart corrupted by a sort of blight we know not of?

[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!

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! ]]

[Some days after the raid on the cultist compound and...]

my boyfriend is stupid

[And with that, Chikusa links a video of Ken making a very impressive leap in quick reaction to a paintball! ...which he catches with his mouth. The video stays on him for a few seconds later, with all the coughing, spitting, and rolling that goes with it.]

[One of these days a pet shaming sign is going to be put on that dog.]

[But that's not all! Because while he's pet shaming...]

my cats are also dumb

[There's another link to a different video. This one is in broad daylight, focused on one o the streets which goes through the illustrious Central District. Staying steady, the camera focuses on... a giant catfish of frankly monstrous proportions, larger than some people. Surrounding it is an absolute small army of nekomata. Those that are directly in contact with the fish are doing their very best to drag the fish along with their teeth, jaws locked into the flesh of the beast. Others around them seem to be slowly following along, concentrating intently. While it might be difficult to see on video, the cats are using a combined telekinetic effort to make the drag a little easier. Every now and then, the fish suddenly jerks and thrashes wildly, sending the cats scattering all over. They always come back, however, determined not to abandon their catch.]

[When they finally come near enough to the front of Temple Lie Tieguai, Chikusa's voice finally speaks up from behind the camera.]

I'm not preparing all of this...

[A dozen tiny cat voices rise up in protest, and the video cuts off.]

Here's a thought: The Heavens and gods have worked in a certain way for beyond memory. Gods die and then they come back as younger versions of themselves, souls are gathered as shinki to aid them, and the ayakashi are set against them. There is a balanced rhythm to this place and how it all worked.

And then it didn't. Something happened, the balance was broken, the gods died and nothing came back. So what happened? A new way to fill in the missing pieces appeared. Us.

Now, I'm just theorizing out loud that this system is a mutation caused when a body, or The Heavens as it turns out, feels it's under attack and trying to keep itself alive and functioning. In order to do that, it has pushed to fill in the spots that it has lost too fast by doing the unthinkable - by grabbing people like us.

Does that mean there's an underlying sickness? A rot in the system that the pull of faith or belief is trying to heal through us? Or is this just an experiment to see if we are able to shore up the problems inside a collapsing system?

Any other theories, or am I just thinking too much on this?

My new shinki woke up grumpy this morning. He may also be planning on sneaking in where he shouldn't be. I'm both apologizing in advance, and sharing an image of his current appearance just in case:

He likes dried fish, large pillows, and ear scratches. Be wary of touching his tail or his belly, and especially do not offend him by claiming that he is an inferior creature. I will not be held responsible for the damages he will cause.
