[toremainbehind]

From: Goten
Date: September 24

[Surprisingly, Goten’s name pops on the network, and at first, the video shows nothing but voices can be heard: Goten’s and a deeper voice that may sound familiar to some.

It’s not long before Goten notices the device and his face pops up, looking excited.]

Hey! Everybody! I found him! He’s still here! I found him, I found him! Look!

[The device bops with Goten’s bouncing as he moves it to show a familiar blond, practically shoving the camera into Izumo’s face.

Izumo looks at the camera, lifting a hand in a sort of wave.]

It seems I’ve caused a bit of a ruckus when I left, if what Goten told me is right. [A glance at Goten before he looks back at the camera, giving a smile.]

Sorry for that.

[Goten’s hair is practically the only thing viewable of him as he holds the camera more on Izumo like he’s going to disappear otherwise.]

You should invite everyone to your new place and make something yummy. I betcha they’d like that.

[Izumo chuckles, ruffling his hair.]

Right. Anyway, [He looks back at the camera.] for now, you can find me at my bar, Double Cross. I doubt I’ll end up disappearing anytime soon with Goten clinging onto me.

[Actually, there’s a bit of a pause and he has to look at Goten.]

My bar is still in one piece, right?

Uhhhm…..I dunno, I think Shizuo was pretty upset you were gone to…

[That doesn’t make it assuring.

Izumo sighs out and gives a nod to the camera.]

In any case, if anyone of you want to find me, I’ll be there. [And with that, the video ends.]

Comments

[brynwieldr]

New place?

voice.

[toremainbehind]

It would seem like this place has a rather twisted sense of humor.

[Guess who's a god now, Leo.]

action because what is calling first out of politeness

[revolutionfalcon]

["A bit of a ruckus" is severely understating what happened when Izumo disappeared, and Shun wants to find out what caused it for a variety of reasons. So he's nowhere near considerate enough to contact Izumo via the network first before showing up at his bar, striding through the door like he belongs there and glaring around until he spots Izumo.]

[toremainbehind]

[Izumo lifts his head from his phone when he hears Shun come in. There isn't really any surprise upon seeing him, and after Izumo's finally gotten Goten to take a nap, he's been trying to catch up with everything he's missed.

He slides his phone into his pocket.]

Kurosaki. [How can he help you?]

Action cuz XD

[redstray]

[ Eric jumps when he recognizes the voice that suddenly comes besides Goten's. He whips his head to his phone to see the video being played and...

It can't be.

There wasn't else much to be done before Eric jumps and heads over to the place where the voice said. Maybe it was a trap, maybe this was some cruel joke, this place was nothing short of those.

He opens the door after a moment of standing outside, debating coming in. If Goten said he was back then...maybe it was right? Or it was just some shadow monster mirroring him. Who knows...He looked around, a bit nervous but still maybe hopeful, trying to spot the guy to see if this was true or not. ]

[toremainbehind]

[Hearing the door open, Izumo comes out from the kitchen and smiles upon seeing Eric.]

Eric, it's good to see you. [And guess what. He remembers you.]

Voice

[onedrinkwithme]

I had a feeling you would return.

[He may have had a moment of shock but it wasn't a week at least.]

Voice

[toremainbehind]

I appreciate that you had that much faith in my return, Aymeric.

[Four days isn't so bad.]

Hope you don't mind if Goten ends up being attached to me for the next few days, though.

[Action] !!!!!

[darkestbefore]

[ She stares at the message on her phone in disbelief, because... he's back?! She still can't feel him, the connection she'd had with the name she'd given him completely severed away, but...

Izumo is back!

She doesn't bother with the phone, merely grabs her cloak and teleports immediately to just outside the bar, rushing inside with wide eyes and slightly out of breath from her surprise and hope. ]

Izumo?

YONAAAA

[toremainbehind]

[It's fortunate Goten can be a heavy sleeper when he wants to be, given how loud her entrance had been.

But Izumo does look up when he hears the door open, immediately giving Yona a smile in greeting from where he's behind the bar counter.]

It's good to see you, Yona.

[Also Action!]

[thevanguard]

[ Yata had been on his way back to the bar anyway when his phone lights up with the message and it just makes him speed all the faster to burst in the front door, skateboard still clutched in his hand as he just. Stops and stares. ]

Dude. What the hell?! You had everyone freaking out!

[toremainbehind]

So I've heard.

[And here he is acting like nothing's happened.

He does wave Yata inside, though.]

Has Mikoto's temple build itself back up yet?

Why not make it three for three?

[welcome_home]

[ There is a Tiny zooming into the bar to abruptly fling herself right at Izumo, arms outstretched to catch him. ]

Izumo! You came back!

[ And then Nanako abruptly bursts into tears, so relieved to see him again. ]

[toremainbehind]

[It's almost like how Goten's greeted him, but Nanako's relatively a lot safer.

His arms immediately wraps around her in return, expression softening and he can't help but smooth her hair back in a comforting motion.]

I'm back, Nanako. I apologize for making you worry.

Action

[sonofson]

[It's later after the post and after a long nap that Goten is poking his head around the corner. His messy hair is even worse with bedhead and he's still a little groggy but he feels a lot better. The only worry he had was that he dreamed it all. Which would be awful.

Almost shyly, he peeks out only to spot the shinki turned god standing by the bar which instantly lights up his eyes. Just like that he's bouncing over. It wasn't a dream! Izumo is still there. He's back!

Goten can't stop smiling.]

Sorry Izumo, I donno why I fell asleep. I don't remember falling asleep....

[He remembers them talking and arguing about rest and then sort of drifting off not long after that.]

Have you told everyone you're back? I donno if everyone checks the network thing.

[toremainbehind]

You fell asleep on me once we got inside the bar.

[Does that ring a bell?

But when Goten bounces over, Izumo immediately places a plate of food on the counter for him.]

Not everyone yet, but most, I think. A few people has stopped by, too.

[Voice]

[bartenderizing]

[ The funny thing is that he's probably up in the apartment, but he's also exhausted and a little peeved. Glad you're back, of course! Just annoyed by the timing and everything that happened during the interim. So instead of going downstairs, he's replying to this. ]

Set up a system for this place in case you disappear or sleep for a week again, because I'm not doing it again.

[toremainbehind]

[Shizuo, you lazy ass.

Izumo chuckles.]

Will do. Thanks for taking care of the place, though.

[blizzardrock]

Is that really you?

[Text because he doesn't have the composure for anything else. And even then it takes him like five minutes to type it all out.]

[toremainbehind]

[This time, he uses his own phone to text.]

It is.

action!!

[heartshutter]

[ Tatara isn't terribly active on the network, especially lately. So when Goten's name came up, he hadn't been paying a notable amount of attention.

But once he heard a familiar voice chime into the feed, the god found himself glued to it. His first instinct is to answer, of course; but heck that -- he's already on his way, as soon as a location name is dropped.

...And Izumo best prepare himself, because the moment those hazel eyes land on him, he'll have a very, very relieved Totsuka all-but-swinging from his neck. ]

[toremainbehind]

[That is a reaction he hasn't been expecting fro Totsuka.

It catches him off guard enough where he actually has to take a step back from the sudden weight that's tackled him, a force swinging around his neck and something hits him.

It's why he doesn't push him away just yet, though he does...sort of awkwardly pat his back.]

Someone seems relieved to see me.

[pure_radiantics]

What a good little bloodhound Goten was, sniffing you out for us!

[Kairi's laughing through her relief and joy.]

Aww Izumo, I can't believe it!

[toremainbehind]

[He smiles at her.]

Good to see you Kairi. Hope I haven't caused too much damage in my absence.

voice/private

[deniles]

I'm glad you decided to leave us all and have a party.

voice/private

[toremainbehind]

[For this, he uses his phone and instead of Goten's, not wanting Goten to hear this.]

I've missed you, too, Niles. If I could've invited you to the party, I would have.

voice

[nolittlesecret]

The cats will be happy you're back.

[Not gonna mention that he's glad you've not gone to "never to return" status.]

voice

[toremainbehind]

Just the cats?

[He can't help but tease a little bit, okay?]

It'll be good to see them again.

[birdstheword]

Welcome back, Izumo-san! You were super duper missed! Did you go on vacation?

[toremainbehind]

Something like that. How have you been, Hajime?

(Video)

[cieled]

(Are these...adults?) Did you? I cannot say I noticed the absence.

[toremainbehind]

Ah, good. It’s hard to miss the absence of someone you’ve never met before.

However, I do hope you haven’t been near the building that’s blown up just a few days ago.

[Video]

[light_of_willpower]

[There's a relieved smile as Trunks responds.]

Oh good, I'm glad you're okay. Goten's been looking for you for awhile. Not that he was the only one upset you were gone Izumo, but he was the most obvious from what I could tell.

[Video]

[toremainbehind]

So I've heard.

[Izumo manages a wry grin.] It seems I've caused a lot of unnecessary worry.
