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.

heading out
It's a wonder how Rin's able to stay still and quiet for the duration of the meeting then, but since he's dealing with forces and people he doesn't yet understand, he figures it's best to be on his best behavior. Never mind that this all seems to be information he's heard of before and probably didn't have to be yanked out of his schedule to hear repeated... Needless to say, he's more than a little irked by the time the meeting draws to a close, and once they're all free, he's one of the first to exit out into the hall. No idea how long he plans to stick around, but he supposes he should at least stay to chat with Makoto and Nagisa--
--or he could hang back and take care of more pressing matters first.
Standing by the exit with his back to the wall and arms crossed, Rin watches each god as they're ushered and filed out, only choosing to finally speak once one in particular makes his appearance.]
Oi.
[he growls, glaring daggers at the back of Schuldig's head.]
I need to have a word with you.
no subject
Which is why he keeps walking, ignoring him while mentally listening for signs of aggression that he can dodge.]
no subject
I'm talking to you.
[he tries again, raising his voice as he follows. He'd like to avoid making a scene if possible, but it's difficult when he's this upset.]
no subject
Then, he lets go of that wrist and backs up a space, glaring much more casual daggers of 'I dare you' than being pissed off.]
You want to run that by me again?
no subject
Tch. This guy definitely gets his rocks off doing whatever the hell he wants, other people's permission and preferences be damned.
With a sharp tug, he yanks his wrist free right as Schuldig releases him.]
You heard me. And you know what I'm talking about.
You used Sousuke.
[his tone is low, biting.]
no subject
He agreed to my terms. I did nothing he didn't agree to.
[Of course, that's Schuldig twisting the fact that he set Sousuke up, but he still maintains that Sousuke agreed because like hell he wanted to get blighted either.]
Unless you'd rather see ayakashi killing innocents?
no subject
[He steps forward, voice raising another touch.]
I know Sousuke better than anyone and I know that after you let him go, he couldn't have been more upset about what he did.
[That doesn't come from someone who just agreed to anything.]
You tricked him.
no subject
[He taps his own temple and for once isn't talking about his telepathy.]
A shinki's god only gets blighted when it's against their nature to do something their God is asking them to do, right? That goes for any god a nora is tied to. So whatever he told you happened, I didn't force him to do anything serious the whole time he was bound to me.
['Serious' anyway, because he most certainly stopped Sousuke from punching him, but Sousuke didn't feel guilty about that little tirade either.]
So how well do you really know his heart, Eros?
no subject
Better than anyone.
[he repeats it slower, lower, because he means it. What's done is done. He knows that. What he didn't feel and what Sousuke did can't be changed. But...]
You forced him to take a new name, and by extension everything he did for you he did because you forced him. He wouldn't have done it if he had any other option.
[Fist clenching at his side,]
You won't touch him again.
[He won't give him an option either.]
1/2
And if I do? You'll what?
[He points to Rin, very casually and dismissively.]
You say 'forced' him to, but you either don't know what I'm capable of or he just didn't tell you all of the details. If he had, you'd know that you can't do a thing to change my mind or stop me from achieving my goals. You're better off hiding.
[Which, as far as he's concerned, is the reason Weiss is still around in Far Shore. They haven't drawn attention to themselves. Yet.]
2/2
[He lifts his chin, taunting.]
1/2
You're too comfortable.
[And too cocky with that kind of attitude. But... isolated as they are, Rin doesn't want to risk causing a scene or bringing any more trouble no matter how tempting it is to sucker punch that grin right off his face. So in lieu of that--]
no subject
Staring straight into Schuldig's eyes, he digs for that answer, seeks it out, then studies it once he has a basic grasp. Hmph. What he finds doesn't surprise him and maybe he'd even laugh if he weren't too pissed off.
It's more than enough though and after lowering his gaze he shifts forward, almost as if he's about to break into a run, then quickly teleports himself to where he can stand behind Schuldig, both of them back to back.]
No.
[he mutters without bothering to look over his shoulder.]
I'm gonna do worse than that.
[And like hell will he say what that means.]
no subject
But Rin's already teleporting away again, so all he hits is air. As angry as he is, he's also not afraid.]
Tch. Yeah right.
[Like hell can a fucking God of Love do anything remotely harmful to him. So he dismisses the threat entirely and teleports back to his own temple.]
