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!

Don't you think that it is rather inappropriate for a goddess to step in personally?

*Kanako, you're not quite sure where the voice is coming from... Until a beam of light precedes the entrance of the Angel of Light, Lady Palutena.*

[My my, what a flashy entrance.]

People remember a personal touch. Besides, what right does an angel have to question my methods?

[leave_it_to_a_goddess]

Well, besides being the most available representative of the church whose latest branch you just decided to destroy?

I had much better methods of dealing with this sorta thing when I was working your field.

[grave_of_being]

And look where that got you.

[leave_it_to_a_goddess]

I got a cushy job, little loss in power, and I continue to fulfill my role as protector of humanity.

Also, I don't have to resort to cult-based methods.

[grave_of_being]

In other words, you willfully abandoned your own divinity for a bit of personal convenience.

[leave_it_to_a_goddess]

Angels are still divine beings, you know.

[grave_of_being]

Oh, please. Angels and gods are on completely different levels.

[leave_it_to_a_goddess]

In a monotheistic system of worship, Angels or equivalent take the role that would once have been taken by the many gods.

In other words - not nearly as different as you might think.
