[Video] Soulless Struggles

From: Kairi
Date: Sept 20th

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a particular shinki. I hate using this word, but people call them soulless. Anyway, we took her to the Artemis-Baldr temple, but ever since the temples vanished, I haven't been able to find her.

[Kairi gives a few descriptions, but it's pretty nondescript - a female shinki.]

I feel terrible now that I can't even remember what Roxas called her. I thought maybe I'd see her while cleaning up the Soulless Shinki temple, but still no sign of her.

If anyone sees a shinki that could be her, can you please let me know?

You're probably gonna get better answers if you actually tell us what she looks like or do you want us to just drag in any old soulless shinki until we get a match?

[pure_radiantics]

I gave as best a description as I could. It's been awhile since I saw her - nearly 2 months.

[horthath]

Two months is probably good as dead if you haven't found her yet.

[ Way to instill confidence in the poor girl, Magari, geez. ]

Where's the last place you saw her anyway?

[pure_radiantics]

At the Baldr-Artemis temple complex. The day that the temples disappeared.

[Along with the boys that represented those gods but she still hates saying it like that.]

[horthath]

That's another thing. How the hell does an entire temple disappear? Does stuff just up and vanish without prior notice?

[sweetdeath]

I'll keep an eye out... what happens to them when their god vanishes, usually?

I mean, we tend to just have to figure out out, from what I've heard.

[And the "soulless" guys don't really seem to figure much out on their own. They follow orders.]

[pure_radiantics]

The way it was explained to me, that's why the Soulless Shinki temple exists in the first place. It's where they live if they aren't assigned to a god at the moment.

[sweetdeath]

Whoa. I didn't know there was one. Are there a lot of them living there?

[They're creepy enough one on one. In big groups? Yikes. He doesn't think they're really soulless, but there's something weirdly robotic about them.]

[pure_radiantics]

Well they come and go every two weeks or so, as the assignments to gods change really. I don't know how many of them there are in total.

[yoshinocherry]

[That definitely isn't a lot of description to go off of, but there's probably no reason to point that out. If she can't even remember the shinki's name in the first place, then that's probably the best the network's getting, she figures.]

Hana-chan and I can help look! Is there anywhere in particular she might or may not have gone after you lat saw her?

[pure_radiantics]

Well, we found her by the Soulless Shinki temple in the first place, so that's why I thought she would've been there...

[Sigh.]

Maybe somewhere near there, like a park... or maybe another temple that looks like the two temples we lived at - a big forest and log cabin on one side, and a sandy beach on the other.

[yoshinocherry]

That'll narrow it down a little bit, I think.

[At least for the initial bout of searching.]

She might not be staying in the same place for very long either, don't you think? [Soulless or not, living things have a tendency to wander. Or, well, as much 'living' as you could call these particular shinki.] It's probably worth it to check out some spots you've already visited.

[pure_radiantics]

Oh gosh, you're right. She could be moving around... especially if she hasn't been assigned to another god yet.

[She figures that if her old friend had been assigned, maybe the god would have responded to her here on the BBS.]

I haven't stopped by the Soulless Shinki Temple in a few days anyway, I could always stop by there again.

[skygaze]

If it's been awhile and you don't remember much about her, why are you looking for her now?

[pure_radiantics]

I never stopped looking for her after the temples disappeared. I'm just to the point where I wanted other people's help too.

[That and losing one of her brothers kickstarted that stronger feeling of wanting to find her again.]

[skygaze]

...I'll keep an eye out for her but that really isn't much to go off of. Don't get your hopes up.

[pure_radiantics]

We're shinki. Where else would she have gone if not to one of the other temples somewhere here in the Far Shore?

I think I remember her... I'll be sure to keep an eye out.

[pure_radiantics]

Thank you so much, Forrest. If you have some spare time tomorrow or the next day, maybe we can look around the Soulless Shinki temple together?

[And even a walk where they don't find her would be worthwhile time with him.]

Re: Video

[clothes_make_the_man]

Of course. I'll do whatever I can to help. Tomorrow sounds fine.

Re: Video

[pure_radiantics]

You're the best, Forrest. I'll let you know when I'm free.

[lostinshadows]

I'll keep an eye out for her the best I can.

[pure_radiantics]

Thank you very much, Lavi. I hope she's okay. We're the last two shinki from their temples along with Raichi.

[lostinshadows]

[He's tempted to tell her not to get her hopes up too high but he opts not to.]

Well, we won't know unless we take a good look. She ought to be around the Far Shore somewhere, yeah?

[pure_radiantics]

I didn't think shinki could get to the Near Shore without a god to help them, unless you know of a way?

And without being bound to a god, I want to believe she'd be in the Far Shore, yes.
