Heaven's BBS - Video

[kokuyoyo]

From: Chikusa Kakimoto
Date: September 16

--------------

[The video opens onto Chikusa's usual dull expression, although he's thankfully not stuck floating in the void this time. No, the background clearly gives away his location as at the school in one of the currently empty classrooms.]

...Cho Hakkai... hasn't returned to either his temple or the school for the last couple of days.

...Let Ayumu know if you see him. Or me, I guess.

[The only reason he's making this post is because he's a Millenial the only tech savvy person between all three of Hakka's shinki.]

[For a moment she's full of dread but-]

His temple is still there?

[kokuyoyo]

Yes.

Ayumu says he didn't show up for dinner.

[bussounoshima]

[So he hasn't disappeared. That's good. But he's also vanished without a word, which is bad. Even Gojyo told her he was leaving for a while.]

I assume you've tried calling him already.

[... Though she might try herself now, since she'd hope her name is a little more intimidating to ignore than Chikusa's.]

[kokuyoyo]

Yes.

He responded the last time I called him directly.

[So it's kind of nonsense that slowness would happen now.]

[That's...not reassuring. Hakkai is one of the few people Davesprite would probably outright describe as a friend, so hearing this is definitely not doing anything for him right now.]

how many days are we talking when we say a couple
last time i saw him was at the moon party

[kokuyoyo]

That's when I saw him too but Ayumu says he was at home after that for a few days. Today will make it the third day if he doesn't return for dinner.

[redotiertwo]

yeah thats
thats probably time to start being concerned
did he act weird or anything before he left
or did that ayumu person not say

[kokuyoyo]

She didn't give any indication that something had happened.

If it had to do with the moon viewing party, then he would have disappeared sooner, right?

[Seriously, tell him Davesprite, Chikusa has no idea how people work.]

[bartenderizing]

i guess hed actually tell her if he decided to take a vacation huh?

[ Like he wouldn't tell Chikusa. Nice, Shizuo. ]

[kokuyoyo]

[On one hand, not incorrect, but also, fuck you Shizuo]

She's his exemplar.

[So, yes. He should, at least.]

[bartenderizing]

[ He doesn't mean to sound like a dick. On the other hand, he probably continues to make his texts sound like that's the intention anyway. ]

its hakkai. i dont think hed do it because of that

shes just more likely to keep up on things when hes gone

[kokuyoyo]

There's a reason she's his exemplar.

He should be smarter than this.

[futhark]

I guess it's not like him to take few days-off for vacations?

Maybe he eloped?

[ Hopefully not with someone else's fiancee ]

[kokuyoyo]

He'd tell people at the school at the very least.

I don't think so. He seems bad at relationships.

[Or maybe Chikusa is projecting...]

[futhark]

Did it happen before?

[ If someone got the history of disappearing for a week once a year, then there is usually nothing to worry about. ]

[kokuyoyo]

I don't think so. Not while he's been a god anyway.

Is Ayumu his shinki? So it must not be that he left to do something for Heaven?

[kokuyoyo]

She's his exemplar.

[So, yeah, she's his shinki.]

If he's gone somewhere.... Then it's without any shinki of his that I know about. He's also left the school on its own...

[handsome_genius]

Well...

I kept the school clean the last time he disappeared. You can tell his exemplar that I'll do it again.

[And maybe he'll come back a shinki. Maybe he won't. Yoon at least knows he can't control that.]

[Kairi had noticed Hakkai's absence, and it's worrying, but all the same... Chikusa's just another one of the teens that hangs around the school. Apart from both of them being there at his ablution as a shinki, she's not sure why Chikusa is the one making the announcement.

Then she sees the other responses and starts to get a little more uneasy.]

Did Ayumu ask you to tell everyone about it? I thought Hakkai would be the type of person that wouldn't want his private affairs made public.

[Reaching up, Chikusa adjusts his glasses.]

Then it's his fault for not leaving a note explaining where he is.

[No pity.]

Anyway.... Yeah. She's... not good with technology.

[And neither is Ken, honestly. Seriously, why does Hakkai have no other shinki that are good at technology?]

Re: Video; Private

[pure_radiantics]

You think he'd leave the school and his shinki without telling anyone? Don't... people disappear all the time here? I guess his temple is still here though...

[She sighs.]

I don't know. I think he's a good person, but then I think back to what he said to me when he was a shinki at the Ablution, and I get worried all over again that I'm not seeing things other people can.

[It's taken her some practice to figure out this video thing and she isn't exactly sure if she's doing it right yet, but-- eventually she appears on screen, blinking down to check that she's doing things right.]

Do you need help searching? I can look for your god as well.

[She doesn't know how they look, but if she can see a picture or something, or get a description...]

[kokuyoyo]

....Oh. You. [One of the newcomers.] Did you see a man with a monocle at the training event...?

[That's the most important thing to figure out, first.]

[littledove]

[First things first....]

What is a monocle?
