All New Gods Conclave
Who: All new gods. Every single one, including new arrivals. Attendance is mandatory.*
What: An all new-god's meeting, featuring one important announcement.
When: May 17th, 11 a.m.
Where: The Meeting Hall on the Far Shore.
[*OOC: You do not have to tag in to show your attendance. However all the gods are brought to the meeting. This is to make sure that the information is IC-ly shared fairly with all the god characters.]
---Invitation--
Today, every single new god finds one of Amaterasu's messengers at their front door in the morning. No matter your condition from the banquet the night before, the messenger insists on handing their message to the god personally and directly. Gods not at home will find themselves found anyway, although it's now a bit later in the morning. The new shinki are absolutely forbidden to take the message for the god.
The message, written simply in black ink, reads:
"You are invited to attend a conclave of the gods, May 17th at 11 a.m. at the Meeting Hall.
The agenda comprises of one item: to give a meaningful and informational announcement in regards to your shinki. As this information has literal life-and-death consequences for the shinki, we expect your attendance.
You will be brought to the Meeting Hall promptly at 11."
At the bottom is an official-looking stamp of Amaterasu's name in red ink, and beside that a stamp of Suijin's name.
The messenger will make sure that the god understands the message, and if they don't they should ask one of the other new gods, because they aren't allowed to look at the message either. Sorry, they can't answer any questions.
--Conclave--
Promptly at 11, you are teleported to the Meeting Hall, to the inner room where the gods meet. It is dark, but when you blink your perspective shifts, and you find yourself in the midst of bars of light, in a bar of light yourself.*
A voice speaks, but you cannot quite tell if it is even male or female, let alone any other distinguishing feature about it.
"We will bring this meeting to order.
You will at once notice that you are completely anonymous here. Unless you say something to give yourself away, no one will be able to discern who you are. However, I request that you remain silent, as what you are here for is an announcement. To show that this is all done in good will, I shall reveal myself."
The golden light around the person speaking diffuses, and the speaker is revealed. In an ornate kimono she stands with her hands folded in front of her, a wide-brimmed veiled hat upon her head obscuring her face. Despite the veil you can see that her face is painted as white as her hands. Her face seems to have a completely neutral expression as her bright red lips part to speak again:
"I am the Mizu no Kami, Suijin, and today I speak for heaven.
"It has come to our attention that, as you new gods were almost all formerly human, you have some unique challenges upon you in this situation you have been thrust into. One of these challenges has to do with the God's Greatest Secret.
"The instinct that you should be following to not divulge anything of a shinki's past to them seems to be weakened in the face of human curiosity and the fact that some of you knew your shinki in life. Therefore we come before you today in order to announce to you in no uncertain terms: the way of this world is that if you reveal even the slightest piece of your shinki's past to them, they will fall.
"As most of you have already realized, the new shinki are quite different in many regards, including their name. However, the ability for them to fall is the same. A shinki's past becomes negative karma that devours them and immediately turns them into an ayakashi. There is no saving the shinki from it- no reversal, no recovery. The formerly-shinki ayakashi must be killed. Recently there was an incident of a new shinki falling, and the details of that incident are on your BBS, posted the morning of May 8th.
"In regards to the memories that some shinki have reported recovering on their own, they are still an anomaly. However, as was unfortunately proven, it remains certain that speaking to a shinki of their past will still cause them to fall.
"Telling a human to 'not think of something' will at once make them think of it, and therefore a desire to wonder about the past is very contagious among shinki. It will be up to you to curb your shinki's curiosity away from the danger. We implore you to be cautious, and for gods alone to keep the God's Greatest Secret.
"This concludes my announcement in regards to the God's Greatest Secret."
For a moment she pauses, dark eyes looking to the side for a moment.
"Although it was not on the agenda, I do have one further announcement. The heavens have been conducting our own investigation into how you all have come to be here. We would share this piece of information we have found with you: Whomever is doing this is not in Japan.
"This concludes the meeting of the gods. You are dismissed."
--Afterwards--
With the meeting concluded, you exit the dark room and return to the Meeting Hall.

Anyone who saw that post or who has someone they knew from home here probably already knew. Relying on the random returns of memories for them to find their pasts is ridiculous and unfair, but if there's no other choice that doesn't put them in danger of death then that's not a choice at all.
[He's lucky Yuto even bore knowing they were friends, if that's the case.]
At least they've been investigating it - I think that was news to everyone, I've spoken to Bishamon and Suijin both recently and neither mentioned it. It barely narrows it down, anyway.
no subject
I was friends with Axel before everything. I need to protect my shinki- even if it's from their own past. [He looks entirely uncomfortable saying it, but that's where they are.]
Japan's not that big, it's only around two percent of the Earth's population. That leaves the entire rest of the world to search for the culprit.
no subject
I didn't really know him, but we talked once during the cleaning last month. He was decent, we'd planned to stay in contact if anything else came up about the situation we were in.
[So it wasn't a hard loss, but it had been a bit of a shock to see that post announcing the death.]
Exactly, which is why I said barely. It's so minor it might as well not be a factor, but I suppose it's better than nothing.
no subject
[He won't let Shouto die like that.
He sighs and goes back to the other concern.]
At least we can cross out one country. It's not much, but it's a start.
no subject
I'd say at least it drove the heavens to do something about this, but I'm not even sure that's true, if it's Suijin's asking around that led to this instead.
[There's a tinge of bitterness in his tone. At least the death wouldn't have been for nothing that way.]
Maybe they'll actually ask us to help now. Covering the whole world is going to take unnecessarily long if they don't tap into the resources they have.
no subject
[He's trying very hard to look at the positives. Because there's a whole list of negatives that are unavoidable in a place like this.]
They've got more resources than they usually would. You'd think they'd give some way of telling who's doing this, if they can rule out a place then they probably have a way to tell.
no subject
[Looking at the positives has never entirely been Shun's strong point, especially when he knows about some hidden negatives not everyone would be familiar with.]
Judging by some of the old gods' attitudes, maybe some of the higher ones are stupid enough to think we're not capable of this sort of thing. People like Bishamon and Suijin seem like exceptions, not rules when it comes to what they think of us.
no subject
At least we have some of them that are willing to work with us. That's better than nothing. It's not ideal, of course, but at least we've got some people who are willing to talk to us about the issues the Heavens have.
no subject
It's better than nothing, but that's also not saying that much. If it turns out to be a foothold in changing the opinions of the rest of the Heavens, then I'll reconsider.
