Afternoon everyone. This is Goro Akechi speaking.

We have come to find ourselves from a quite troubling situation. All thanks to acts of those from Rumpitur. I have heard the talk around the town about what should we do with them. Some of the people of Aldrip seem to be advocating for revenge, while others forgiveness.

Normally, I think the wisest choice of action would be leave the situation behind us and not to get involved in the politics of this world. But this is different. This wasn't a random attack or act of a beast, but carefully planned and intentional action against us. If we hadn't been successful in our rescue mission our numbers would have depleted no doubt. Who knows, the kidnappings could still be ongoing.

[He doesn't really care much for most of you. But this time they had hit where it hurt.]

What do you think, my fellow Chosen? Stay still and leave them be, potentially risking another attack. Or retaliate? Although, I believe it is important to remember that we still don't have all the details. Making this whole ordeal seem just more suspicious.

As for what I think? I believe something needs to pay for this.

Oh, that thing. If we're pulling out religious texts, what do you think the Buddha would say? What are the main principles of Shintoism? You're just looking for excuses to get revenge, aren't you?

Then the people here need to figure it out on their own. We're just outsiders. You thinking of setting up a regime or some shit? We don't even know when we're going to disappear.

what would buddha say indeed. there are quite many interpretations of his words, just as there of any other deity.

[duh]

we are the people in this scenario, idiot. we have been pulled into the politics of this world, whether we liked it or not.

and are you not jumping to the conclusions here? who spoke anything about regime, just ensuring our survival.

Fine, then as a god myself, I am telling you that you are a narrow-minded fool who is blinded by anger and can't seem to delve deep into basic wisdom. You emphasize revenge with your Bible, and you are dismissive of religious principles that go against your set point. So far you have refused to accept this world and its inhabitant's autonomy, and you are stoking the flame of others with this barely disguised post asking for opinions.

Are you even thinking about the root of this problem?

It's the agriculture. It's the blight that was created by a powerful creature that preyed upon them. That something that deserves punishment is the thing that has gotten away. Seeking vengeance isn't going to summon it back unless you're planning to turn the sea red.

And since you're trying to be so mature, come back to me when you've lived to see decades of wars, famine, and plagues. You mortal idiot.

[Sorry, he just needs to have the last word....]

then you ought to know that your status as a god means nothing here. there are, after all, several people who have killed gods before.

and again, you keep on jumping to conclusions like a blind mouse. you asked for laws, i provided you one that is good as any other, seeing that there are none governing us. so your first question was useless and idiotic to begin with. meanwhile I do believe that the creature behind this needs to be dealt with, that doesn't mean we shouldn't make those behind the spilled blood pay for their actions.

And why don't you educate yourself with the international politics, my useless deity.

[You know what, maybe she's feeling spicy enough now to weave a little curse. Not one that will kill him slowly, but enough to make her feel better with unleashing a bit of frustration: an hour or so after he's put up the post, Akechi will suddenly smell something especially unpleasant like the scent of decaying flesh.

For a week, whatever he eats or drinks will taste rotten. Nothing can cover up the unpleasant experience. Get cursed, loser.]
