Hey, everyone!

[Since things have... seemed to relax a little bit, Wendy is dressed properly, in a frilly sort of sundress and relaxing on the lawn of Hibiki's ostentatious temple. Somehow she's managed to position the camera so that it's not being blinded by one of the many gold statues around.]

A lot more important things have been happening for a while, but now seems like a pretty good time to ask about some things that I was wondering about. Basically, what were some things you wondered about or had a lot of questions on when you first arrived here? Or maybe they're questions you still have.

For example, I know that there are a bunch of people who struggled with figuring out the phones, since I was one of them.

Basically, things about being a shinki, or a god.... the Near Shore and the Far Shore... Even stuff about Japan in general.

Call this a professional interest!

[Linking her hands together underneath her chin, Wendy tilts her head to the side and smiles.]

[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.]

[Wendy has set up her camera carefully on a desk somewhere within Hibiki's very fancy and nice temple, which means her backdrop is a super plush chair and elegant curtain. She herself is dressed up in one of her nicer dresses (which is a lot of them), and looks seriously into the camera.]

We've gotten some new shinki and gods since I made my initial post, but I want to take this time to remind everyone of the Shinki Sanctuary. For shinki who've lost their gods suddenly and are without a home, you're more than welcome to come stay there. It's modest, but it does the job, and it gives you the benefit of not having to be pressured into joining with another god right away.

The Sanctuary also offers a matchmaking service! This is available to everyone, shinki and god alike, no matter if you're already working with someone. We need more people to sign up, so drop by and fill out some paperwork whenever you can! We make sure that gods and shinki have a chance at getting to know each other before anyone is named, so you don't have to worry about that. And if a god names a shinki without their permission...

[Have you ever seen a pre-adolescent girl look like she'd coolly shank you in a dark alleyway and kick your body into a river? Now you have.]

We'll handle it.

But here's something I'm not sure a lot of shinki know- you can be named by more than one god! The only people who really seem to care are the old gods, and, honestly, it's not like they really interact with us anyway, so it doesn't matter.

[They don't even communicate themselves on the BBS. Trust her. She's asked.]

I'm a nora myself, so, if anyone has any questions about that kind of thing, feel free to ask them! I want to help people know all their options.

[Trunks rarely makes public videos--usually he's more likely to respond. He also doesn't look at all happy--but is keeping himself composed at least.]

Caireen's temple has vanished. Mai is gone.

[There's a pause, and a slow blink.]

I think she was worried this would happen at some point, as she left a note.

[The video opens on...someone who is definitely not Chinatsu, sitting on a stark white couch in front of smooth earthen walls. It's a woman in her early to mid 20s, wearing a yukata in a careless enough manner that it's listing badly to one shoulder, with her hair done in a circular curl on one side of her head, finished with a shining, formal pin despite the abundance of hairs that have come loose of the hairdo. The arm holding the phone has a network of very faint knife scars down it, only visible because of her sleeves being tied up right now so as not to get in the way.

Though she's clearly not feeling it, she manages to force a smile and wave to open the conversation.]

Hello everyone. I'm not Chinatsu-kun, which you must already know if you know her, but I'd like to thank her for lending me her phone. This is...something I think I should say myself.

[Her attempt at a smile collapses quickly into something more strained and worried, though she manages to salvage it to collect herself into a more serious, but still grave manner.]

I haven't met most of you, but my name is Kotori, and I'm one of the shinki to Kurosaki Shun, otherwise known as Nekhbet. [She bites her lip a bit, keeps going.] I know there's some of you I should've told this to personally, and I'm sorry to them, but...he's missing. Not gone like what happens to you newcomers sometimes, just--

[Letting out a breath, she tracks back to an explanation.] He took me on an early morning patrol on the 11th. Maybe two or three AM, it's not uncommon for him to run out at that hour...but one of the places he wanted to check was that forest that moves around the Heavens. I think some of you might know what I'm talking about already. It's been...worse, in the last few days. Like it's reaching out to us. It had already been getting worse, but this...

[She grits her teeth, running a hand through her hair.] Don't let anyone else near it alone. I don't know what happened that day, I couldn't see it when I was a vessel, and all I could hear was the trees. And then I was changed back and he ordered me to run, and he never gives orders unless it's-- [Another break off, like she's angry with herself for having to pause so much, before she takes a deep breath.] I was lucky to find the edge of the forest, but he wasn't with me. That forest took him, and I don't think Kurosaki-sama is the only one. I don't think it's going to end by itself. I could feel it on my heels when I ran, and I can still feel it now...like it's trying to lure us and keep us there. Have any of you felt it too? Or seen others taken by it?

It needs to be stopped. And I don't know how to do it...but I can try and help you all a little if you're going to try. I owe that much.

[[This is the pre-event announcement/lead-in for the Hungry Forest event that begins on IC November 14th. Characters may ask questions of Kotori or discuss disappearances between themselves (or just make certain disappearances public knowledge), or try to plan things out for the next day - whatever helps!]]

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.]

Where would a shinki go if they wanted different accommodations from what they have now?

To offer some context: my god named me out of convenience. We agreed to work together toward a common goal but that goal has long since passed. We've discussed his releasing me from his service but on the condition I make arrangements for somewhere to stay until my reassignment.

I'm not opposed to doing chores or being sent on errands. I've done those things on occasion. My form has mostly been that of some kind of bladed weapon thus needless to say I can provide you with some sort protection if any of you are in need of one.

Either way, I'd be happy to be pointed in the right direction. Thank you all for your time.

Hello, everyone!

[Heeeeeere's Wendy! Looking as cute as she can possibly make herself. And she's pretty damn cute. She'd just like to remind you all of that. She's bundled up a little, to combat the cool weather, because, as the background shows, she is on the Near Shore. Shrine grounds, in fact!]

In case you don't know me, my name is Wendy! I'm on here to let you guys know that I'm unveiling something that will be important for all of us! It's-

[And she twists around, focusing the camera now on a modest little shinto shrine. It's not supremely small, but it's not super enormous, either. Livable, which is the important thing. Striding across the stone, a chicken pauses to stare at the shinki girl and clucks.]

[Anyone paying attention might recognize this as a shrine to Amaterasu.]

-the brand new Shinki Sanctuary! [Wendy turns the camera back to herself.] People are always disappearing here, which is bad enough. However, when it's a god who vanishes, they leave behind their shinki! And what's a shinki on their own without anyone? Ayakashi bait. So I asked- [She speaks slowly, making sure to get it right.] -Amaterasu if we could have funds to make a sanctuary for godless shinki to stay at.

And that's what this is! Here on the Near Shore, we're allowed to use this shrine for shinki to stay at if they don't have anywhere else. We should be able to get clothing, if you don't have any spares, and I'll do my best to make sure we have food available!

Not only that, but I'm also starting a matchmaking service here! If you're a god who wants or needs a shinki, or a shinki who wants a god for whatever reason- [No nora judgment here.] -then please stop over here and fill out a form! Everyone is welcome, you don't have to be staying at here to fill out a form.

So be sure to remember this just in case, alright? And tell your friends!

[ooc: Yep, Wendy has started up a Shinki Sanctuary and Matchmaking Service! For more information on both of those, go here.]

From: Ayumu Yamazaki
Date: September 22nd

[In all the time that Ayumu's resided on the Far Shore, both as a goddess and a shinki, she's never once started her own thread on the BBS. It's very rare for her to even comment and it wasn't until her tenure as a shinki that she bothered to check it occasionally. She's deeply uncomfortable with using modern technology outside of emergency situations unless it involves browsing cute animal pictures and videos.

So for Ayumu to put her aversion aside long enough to make a post, it has to be for something really damn important to her. And this announcement is.

As soon as the video starts, it shows Ayumu seated at the kitchen table. She's wearing a long sleeved blouse with a high collar and her hair's loose but been neatly brushed. Usually, her body language radiates confidence and self-assurance but today, she's hugging her arms in an unusual display of shyness and uncertainty.

It takes her a few moments to start speaking; the view wavers back and forth briefly as she reaches out to adjust her phone, trying to get it properly centered for her recording. Once satisfied, she breaks out into a bright, cheerful smile and starts talking in a rather animated fashion.]

Hello! I hope everyone is having a good day. My name is Yamazaki Ayumu. Some of you may know me as Hakkai-sama's exemplar but many of you I have yet to meet.

[She gives a slight self-deprecating laugh before continuing.]

I'm making this video to inform you all of a personal project of mine that I'm working on. I'm sure that most of you know that a shinki's life can be an unstable and unpredictable one as their gods and homes vanish can vanish without warning. I believe the solution to this problem is to build community resources outside the gods they are bound to.

[The longer Ayumu talks about this, the more confident and passionate she seems. There's a slight sparkle of excitement in her good eye. She reaches for something out of view and there's the sound of papers rustling before Ayumu is replaced with a close up of a somewhat clumsily drawn but surprisingly detailed sketch of an idyllic temple. Kairi might recognize it as the one she'd spent time cleaning up but Ayumu added cutesy little doodles of what are presumably supposed to be happy, carefree shinki frolicking with cats and other animals.]

This is the Community Home for Lost Shinki, a shelter designed to provide a safe sanctuary for any shinki who finds themselves suddenly bereft of their god or feels unsafe in the service of the god they've been assigned to. My goal is to lessen the anxiety of shinki who are uncertain or uncomfortable about their future here on the Far Shore.

[There's a brief pause as another idea occurs to her on the spot. Oh, she should sell the potential benefits to the new gods as well, shouldn't she? Her tone becomes very grave and serious as she goes on.]

It will also ease the strain on gods who are unfit or unwilling to be responsible for a shinki. As I'm sure many of us are aware, none of us have arrived here of our own free will. But it's imperative that we cope and manage the best we can in this situation as a community.

[Ayumu pulls the drawing back and she's visible again, a genuine, sweet smile on her face. This is the essence of who she is - a woman who's dedicated her life to the service of others.]

As a member of this community, I propose a charity event to raise funds for this project. Perhaps a swap meet?

['Swap meet' comes out a little awkwardly on her tongue; it's not as unfamiliar as it was when she first heard but it's still a relatively new phrase and concept to her. The video cuts off here rather abruptly. Maybe she ran out of recording time?]

[Hey, who are these three weirdos showing up on the BBS feed? They may not be familiar to some but to others, the forms of Izumo, Aymeric, and Leo are on screen thanks to the laptop camera in Aymeric's office. No cats included but strange enough the camera is able to fit all three men in view without issue..]

Greetings and well met, Far Shore. To those who are curious of who we are, I am Aymeric de Borel-

Leo, formerly prince of Nohr.

And Izumo Kusanagi.

We come to you with an idea that some may have heard or seen within the past few days, coming together to express it the best way we can. Recall when you first arrived in this realm and were told about your new positions whether god or shinki. However, have you noticed that the information given to us was sparse? Most of what we know now was by either word-of-mouth, spoken by fellow comrades, or we had to experience it.

[Do they need a reminder of Axel and how important the Gods’ Greatest Secret is? While they cannot see it on screen, he keeps his hands folded.]

Not only that but when someone vanishes and there are shinki with no place to go, only to rely on this network and their own connections to find a place to stay and to be safe from harm...there needs to be something done. And we may have that very idea to help: the three of us have come up with the notion of a center of sorts. One to be able to house various information about this world and our roles as well as what can be done.

[Looking to both men as he speaks. He’s not the only one doing this...even if he did kind of drag them into it.

So Leo speaks up.]

There is almost no organization here. We rely on once-monthly training sessions for any information or way to meet the other gods and shinki in the heavens, and sometimes it can be weeks before we realize someone has left the heavens, leaving their shinki godless or their god shinki-less. There is no way to determine how many gods a shinki is named by or how many shinki a god has and what their names are. There is no database of information, no collection of what we know about the world we’re in or the worlds we come from. This is a problem.

[Okay, he’s done.]

It is for this reason that we had decided to fix that problem [A brief pause as he glances at the other two.] and opted to do what we can to help everyone here - god and shinki alike. At the moment, we have managed to procure a location for this at Heaven’s library and we will also offer classes or aid for anyone who finds themselves confused by anything that may seem new to them - such as the technology like the phones that each of us are given when we initially arrive.

Along with the location, we are looking for those able bodied in both physical and mental capabilities to help with the process. There are places that have not yet been mapped and to have a general consensus of the lay of the land would do wonders for those newly arrived. If a shinki has no place to go if they become godless, we need those who are willing to open their doors to give shelter until they can get up on their feet. There needs to be much more information on subjects such as Noraing other than the taboo and whispers in the shadows about how harmful it is. Unless we arm ourselves with knowledge, we will remain ignorant and possibly lose a valuable tool at our disposal.

If there is anyone who is willing to help us, we can be either reached at our current office at the library as mentioned earlier or at this current number to whom we are speaking from along with the temple of Forseti.

[And there’s directions to said library and Aymeric’s temple attached to the message as well. Why only his info? Does anyone want to deal with Niles answering the door? And Izumo seems to be a private person so it’s only fair.]

There has been too much discourse about how to go on in this realm and how only one group should be responsible for the displaced masses. So let us repay in kind and instead of bemusing the misfortunes that are upon us, to stand up and do something for a change. Instead of sitting and watch the world pass by, offer your assistance to someone who needs it. Open your home to one who needs safety in an uncertain time. That is what we are trying to accomplish but we cannot see this to completion alone: we need help, nay we need you.

[ Maybe you have something to say about this announcement. Maybe you're one of the people who got silhouetted on screen without Hibiki consulting you about it beforehand. Maybe you're one of the people who got silhouetted on screen and you haven't even accepted Hibiki's CelePara invitation yet. Maybe you just want to annoy her.

Fear not! Hibiki is available for comment in person due to relaxing on her lawn, though one can't quite call it "sunbathing" when she's got a beach umbrella erected. Still, she's getting into the "last gasps of summer" mood: the hill upon which she can be found features an illusion of tropical greenery, she's spread out on a white wooden beach chair, and she's got a fancy drink in her hand.

Her legs might be more noticeable, though. They just. Keep going. ]

I'd like to take this time to invite any interested parties to my Temple in two day's time for a group training session. Our primary objectives will be to work on stealth, speed, and camouflage, along with surveying one's surroundings in potentially high-tension situations.

[...did she just describe a game of Hide and Seek? Maybe.]

The session is open to all shinki and gods, regardless of age or experience. I'll do my best to provide some refreshments on the side. If you have any further questions, you're welcome to get in touch with either myself or my shinki, Trunks--really, it was more his idea than mine.

[Credit where credit is due]

Hopefully, this can be a fun learning experience for many.

((ooc: Trunks has a log up for anybody who wants to thread out any training/mingling at Mai's Temple))

clothes_make_the_man

Hello, everyone. It's been a while since I've made an announcement like this, but I'm afraid I've been a little busy lately. I hadn't intended to stop taking clothing commissions, but I've been training with Lady Orihime over the past few weeks to learn more about creating divine raiments and it's been taking up most of my free time. I've finished my first major project, though, so I've got a little more flexibility lately.

I still won't be taking commission work until I've finished my training, but I do have enough time to open the temple up for beauty treatments. The pools in the garden behind the temple have healing properties and help keep skin soft, and I can also do hair and nail work for anyone who's interested. In addition, I'll be teaching a sewing class once a week at Hakkai's school. And once Lady Orihime is satisfied with my progress, I'll be able to start making clothing again too. So if anyone is interested in any of that, feel free to let me know and we can either set up an appointment at Lakshmi's temple or get you enrolled at the school.

[Forrest smiles, nodding at the feed.]

I'll be looking forward to hearing from you all!
