More Amber Alerts....

[ Yata sends out a text this morning after pretty much not having slept all night and he can't decide if he's more pissed or worried at this point. ....Being pissed is easier, he's still trying to hold onto that emotion more than letting himself worry about worst case scenarios already. ]

Alright, what the hell is going on? Neither Izumo or Fushimi came home last night. Neither one of them is answering their phones either. Does anyone know anything?

....Haven't an awful lot of people gone missing? Shouldn't there be.... I don't know, someone doing something about this?

[ He's a shinki, this is not really his area of expertise here, but uh. Shouldn't there be a red alert or something going up before more people get vanished? This is so not normal... ]

The 'old' gods/gods in charge don't give a shit about a bunch of us disappearing. So they're not really going to do anything.

At best they'll hold up a sign saying 'you can do it.'

[thevanguard]

[ Asshole. That's real helpful, thanks. ]

That doesn't account for everyone ELSE.

[kuroi_taiyo]

[ Did he hear you yell his name in frustration/anger? Huh. ]

They're the only ones I guarantee aren't disappearing en masse and in an actual position to help.

( What her text says, )

Izumo-san and Fushimi-san are missing, too?

( Short, simple, straight to the point. Totally calm. Nothing to see here. What she's actually doing off screen: losing her dang mind. )

[thevanguard]

Yeah. They never came back last night. I'm not sure where they were, but it's not like either one of them to just. Not come home without a word.

[ The great thing about text. Look at them being all calm and collected and Not Panicking At All. ]

[This is not something that will make the day a fun one.]

Seriously? Izumo wouldn't do that. Not answer his phone I mean.

[thevanguard]

[ Oh, hey, it's you. ]

I know. And neither one of them would stay out all night without saying anything to the rest of the temple first.

[ No, Izumo doesn't have a temple full of paranoid assholes at all. ]

[nolittlesecret]

Well I can tell ya he ain't with me. I thought he was just busy or sleeping so no time to reply.

When was the last time you heard from either?

I've seen a lot of people talking about missing friends lately. :(
Maybe we should form search parties?

[thevanguard]

Yeah the whole 'forming' thing isn't really my area of expertise. The searching I can do, though.

[cuddle_battery]

Is it really that hard?
Just ask everyone to meet you somewhere and then go look together.
That's a search party.
And then once you find them the search party can become a regular party.
To celebrate.

Last known whereabouts?

[thevanguard]

Man, I don't even know. I didn't even know Fushimi had wandered out until I realized the apartment was empty and he wasn't at his computer. Izumo... [ Man, what a pain. He doesn't even have a spot to start looking. ] That guy could literally be anywhere. He gets all over the place.

[koukai_kirai]

Do either of them have any known associates who might have seen them more recently?

no response

[kokuyoyo]

[Fushimi is missing? Fuck yes.]

Re: no response

[thevanguard]

[ Yata just flips you off. ]

[erogappa]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN PEOPLE ARE MISSING? WHRE ARE THEY?

[thevanguard]

IF I KNEW THAT, THEY WOULDN'T BE MISSING, WOULD THEY?!

[erogappa]

HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY'RE MISSING THEN?

I'm sorry people you know have gone missing. I was told people disappear all the time but it does seem like there are a lot of people worried at the moment.

[thevanguard]

This isn't the same. When people disappear, their stuff goes too, most of the time. Trust me, I've had THAT kind happen a lot. I know what that feels like. They're still HERE somewhere, but they never came home.

One of them's my god. I still have his name. I KNOW he's not gone.

[redmare]

Yours too? What the hell is going on, Yata-san?

[thevanguard]

[ There's not many people Yata would have answered his phone for right now, but she actually happens to be on the very short list of people he considers friends. So she'll get him answering through audio instead of the text of previous messages. And it's clear that no matter how calm his text messages might have seemed, he's... actually freaking out quite a bit. ]

What do you mean 'mine, too'? Shit, your god's missing, too? Don't you belong to that grumpy bat asshole now? [ Who the fuck managed to get the drop on him? ]

[redstray]

theyre both gone?

[thevanguard]

MISSING. Not gone.

[ This is a very distinct difference. At least coming from the person who's gone through five gods in his time here. ]
