It seems strange that I should only come to you all when things are rough, but that appears to be my sole duty as of late.

I must start this message by apologizing for the behaviors of my brother. His actions were unwarranted and chaotic and I should have seen something like this coming from him. I'm embarrassed to say that we had no idea of what he was scheming, and for all the loss of life and the damages I am truly, greatly sorry.

That said, it pleases us to no end that so many of you new gods and shinki have worked so hard to protect our home and to clean up after the disaster that befell us. We are truly grateful to have good souls like you here with us. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Know that we do not plan to punish the other party involved in the destruction that has happened here. We had detained him and are keeping him under close watch for your safety as well as his own. Please understand that we have made the best choice that we can.

Again, we apologize for what has happened and we hope to be able to curb anything like this from ever happening again.

Thank you.

Hey -- sorry about my manners. They're not as good as Hisoka's! I've just got a couple questions.

He's got some nasty magic painted around at least a few of his temples on the Near Shore. It's nothing I've ever seen before. Do you guys know how to neutralize it safely? I was thinking a power washer, but, you know, I don't want to get myself blown up.

And... you know some of us have disappeared, right?

What's happening to them?

[godsoffortune]

Your manners are perfectly acceptable, Tajimamori.

To be honest with you, we have never encountered magic quite like this before. They have appeared to come off mostly with a good scrubbing, though you must be careful about ayakashi nearby. Perhaps using shinki to make borderlines around the signs and cleaning from inside the cage would be best?

I unfortunately do not know what has happened to those that have disappeared. As near as we can tell, their gods have reincarnated in their homelands. That is the extent of what we know at this time.

Did that happen with Tsukuyomi? The new guy vanished for a month, right -- did the old one come back and then vanish again?

[godsoffortune]

Instead of asking a bunch of random questions. Shouldn't you be more worried about washing off that paint before something more comes of it? Unless that's your aim.

[sweetdeath]

Fine. We're the ones disappearing here too, you know.

[godsoffortune]

We already know that. Stating the obvious isn't going to change anything so go find that sponge and make yourself useful for once, Tajimamori.

☁ Fuujin

[leggierissimo]

Goodness, if that doesn't sound like a dodge, I don't know what does.

Before you say anything, I'm already cleaning, and I have been for a while. We're all welcome to breaks. Why don't you answer the question? I'm curious to know myself.

[godsoffortune]

All you newbie gods look way too hard into simple things. There are more pressing things to be concerned with then this.

But since you're so curious: Tsukuyomi, the one before you, hasn't made a reappearance. Are you satisfied now?

☁ Fuujin

[leggierissimo]

Maybe I'd just like to be as well-informed as possible. Is this a generational thing? Oh dear, I feel this is a generational thing.

But yes, thank you. That wasn't so difficult, was it?

[godsoffortune]

[...]

Keep it up little Tsukuyomi.

☁ Fuujin

[leggierissimo]

I'll do my best, Fuu-jiisan. I wouldn't want to disappoint you. ヾ(＾∇＾)

[godsoffortune]

Don't try to be cute.

I'll be keeping an eye on you, Tsukuyomi.

☁ Fuujin

[leggierissimo]

Aww, but weren't you? I was only returning the favor.

You can even come visit, if you like. Don't be a stranger.

[godsoffortune]

I apologize for Fuujin's behavior. He has a very volatile personality at the best of times.

Unfortunately, I have not seen a Tsukuyomi aside from the one who is here now since then.

[sweetdeath]

Thanks. Uh, sorry if I offended anybody.

[godsoffortune]

You have offended no one. :)

In fact, I'm more afraid that we have offended you. And if we have, I am deeply sorry.

You wouldn't happen to have a list of those who've disappeared, would you? Even a few names might be helpful. I've been trying to work out some of these unanswered questions.

[pm]

[sweetdeath]

I've got some. Hey, send me your phone number and I'll tell them to you?

[He's not sure what the Heavens can see on this bbs, really, but it's probably safest to assume the answer is "most of it."]

[pm]

[existentialcrisis]

[ just a phone number. ]

[phone call]

[sweetdeath]

Hey there, hope you don't mind! It's Tsuzuki Asato -- Tajimamori? You wanted the names I had for our missing gods, right?

[phone call]

[existentialcrisis]

Hi, yeah, that'd be great. I only got here a couple of weeks ago, so I've been kind of playing catch-up on public information as it is, you know?

[sweetdeath]

Oh yeah, I bet. -- What's your name?

Anyway, anyway! Um. The ones I know about for sure are ... got a pen? And do you want their divine titles too?

[existentialcrisis]

Oh, sorry—it's, ah, Ni. Jianyi. [ a shuffle in the background. ] Yeah, please. Or if you have a ton of them, I wouldn't mind just taking a picture, or something. Whatever's easier.

[sweetdeath]

Bo, divine title Frejya. She was the first one who disappeared who I found out about. Yuuki was her shinki back then. Kiryu Joshua, divine title Tajimamori, but it sounds like what happened with him might be different. For one thing, he came back. His shinki disappeared at the same time, too, and I don't know if he ever came back.

Vector, divine title Ma'at -- Yuuto was his shinki. He told everyone he was going to the underworld and released Yuuto to find another god, and nobody saw him after that. His temple disappeared like the others, though, plus we couldn't find any signs he'd ever been near the entrance to the underworld.

Kurosaki Hisoka, divine title... umm. He didn't really like his, I don't remember what it was exactly. He was some kind of library god, though. And his was -- he came here as a shinki, died, came back as a god a day later, then disappeared later on.

Commander Shepard, whose divine title was Morrigan. I don't know if her temple's gone, but she's not answering her texts anymore.

[existentialcrisis]

Morrigan sounds familiar. That must be Commander-kun. I hope that, um, Yamato's doing all right.—Did you say there's a physical entrance to the underworld, or am I misunderstanding?
