From "Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? II" comes a new scale figure of Hestia dressed in a bunny outfit! She's an impressive 1/4 scale size, and features net tights made from real material for a truly authentic appearance and texture!

Clan Rosemund is usually a peaceful clan. Not, like, idyllic, because hot damn some folks is assholes, but peaceful. You know, the kind of peace a city guard means, when you can’t hear the shouting if you stand next door and none of the arguing’s being done with hammers and stabby things. None of that nasty disturbance stuff going on, or unspeakable horrors of the night, or whatnot-- well, technically Michael is a deranged entity of cosmic injustice, but as long as he does that kind of thing in private it’s fine.

Which is to say, usually nobody gets terribly quibbly about religious-type matters. Why bother, right? some are god-loyal, some are elementally indifferent, we’ve got a fresh crop of cultists just the other day to strengthen our fabrication capabilities-- the whole point of civilization is inter-elemental cooperation, even if Hesti’s got some weird personal propheteering thing going on. Heck, we even tolerate atheists.

Which makes this weird.

Clan Rosemund never had factions, until Hesti declared the ritual aspect of the Honeytouch cult forbidden. Clan Rosemund never had factions, because Hesti didn’t give a damn or let others bother others about it provided they contributed practically to the clan.

So is Hesti going mad? Is someone influencing her? Or did she actually find out something about the Honeytouch Cult that’s more sinister than their avowed purpose of making really pretty... things... and having great orgies?

Because the worst outcome for everyone is that people start taking sides. And the silly part is, everyone but the atheists can agree that the gods exist and it’s good to be on their non-thunderbolty sides (well, except for some lightning dragons, but Tony only swears at Stormdad when he needs some extra voltage for his experiments). Having at least one votary of each god is kind of the basic principle of a mixed clan-- you’re not a clear target for any god with at least one of their element-type in the line of smiting-- so who benefits from trying to pick and choose?
