No promises, Imperial Saga!

[Your business has brought you in contact with the so-called Cult of Yasaka! Whether you're here for answers, revenge, or religious business, you've been granted an audience with the cult's leader. However, something is definitely unusual about this - the leader isn't another cultist, it's the god Yasaka herself!]

[The divine aura she radiates, however, clashes a bit with the unrefined yawn she lets out as you enter. Sounds like she was taking a nap, and looks like she isn't super interested in whatever you're about to say.]

Very well, very well. Who hath summoned me, and for what purpose?

[A newly-built church, hooray! On Kanako's turf? Hmm.]

[The attack came at night, when most of the church staff had already left the premises for the night. Those few who were there were given ample time to flee. While in the end, nobody was killed, the building has been reduced to a pile of rubble, with a number of massive pillars stuck into the ground amidst it like giant javelins.
As you come to the scene of the crime, a god is sitting cross-legged atop one of the pillars, smiling down at the wreckage.]

Are you with the church as well? I don't have anything against the Crystal King, but this is my territory.

I won't allow you to establish a presence greater than mine here!

[The pub! This is the lasat place where a deity should probably be hanging out, but who's gonna tell her she can't?]

[Kanako is very clearly drunk, and making herself a bit of a spotlight, telling (occasionally bawdy) tales of yore. And being very generous with her money, to the profit of the pub.]

Now, I'll buy a round of drinks for anyone who will consider switching to my religion! No, two rounds!

I mean no disrespect, or have no real quarrel with you, but I would ask you stop these attacks on our churches.

[Ky had gotten noticed of pillars appearing around the new church and same as soon as he can]

[grave_of_being]

I refuse. Unless, of course, you can promise to stop your intrusions upon my territory.

[bejustorbedead]

I am afraid I do have the authority to make such promises, and from my understanding the church was built here because the local parishioners had asked for a place of worship.

[grave_of_being]

I'll have my followers build a shrine at once.

[bejustorbedead]

Which would be a shrine to you.

[He's naive, not dumb]

[grave_of_being]

Of course. If someone wants a place to pray to the gods for reassurance and divine favor, does it matter to them who they're praying to?

[bejustorbedead]

For some people it does, who they worship is as much a part of a person's identity as their nation of origin.

[grave_of_being]

I'm game, then. How about a shrine with devices of worship for the Crystal King and me?

[bejustorbedead]

[That is something unheard of]

...Well, I cam speak with the Bishops, but I can make no promises.

[grave_of_being]

I doubt they'll go for it, but there's always room for a miracle.
