near the end of the festival week
Chie and I have been working with Charalampos - I'm more and more certain that's Hikaru-san, for the record. He's
well. He's doing science about the gods, more or less. His theory is that divine presence within their Chosen people functions like a load-bearing wall in a house, and the Thing With Feathers dying ripped that wall away with no warning. He's looking for more information about how Chosen interact with their gods, if there's anything we can pass his way.
He was also invited to - I guess we might as well call it a seance? One of the Veiled Lady's priests managed to speak with the Thing With Feathers. It said it was killed by a weapon but wouldn't specify further, and anyway that doesn't seem to have been its main point.
[Written slowly, like she's copying from notes:] "The birds still fly. The wings remain. So too does hope." "Scars take time to heal. Never gone. But better with care, with love, with hope." "Hope is found in darkness. It never surrenders."
Just because a god dies, then, doesn't mean the thing it represents is gone from the world. If we're right that another god is going to die, then that's likely about to be very, very useful information.

But there's a lot of us here who aren't tied to any god in particular, so we'll be able to help.
