To our other teachers, please feel free to reschedule at different locations. Thank you for understanding.

[ Given the events following Susano'o's BBS post, it's not surprising that gods have disappeared left and right. ]

Was she killed?

private forever

[reformedsinner]

Not that I know of. When I woke up yesterday, I was in a different temple, and I found that hers had been completely demolished.

I'm afraid all your work with the computers has come to nothing.

[cyberfly]

[ He's read as much in the comments section of this post. No more school or classes or computer lab. And while a lot of people have been offering sympathies, that's not the sort of thing Nagi really feels comfortable doing. But help, he can offer. So he says instead: ]

If you want to set up another lab, let me know.

[ It's easy enough to rebuild. ]

[reformedsinner]

I will. If there's a safer place to put it than a temple, I think that might be the best way to handle it, this time.

[cyberfly]

I guess that means anyone can disappear at any time.

[reformedsinner]

It's safer to assume that's the case. We don't know why it happens yet.

[cyberfly]

[ He considers moving his own computer equipment somewhere else, besides Omi's temple. Just in case. ]

​If you find a more secure place to work, will you let me know? If there's enough room, I might move some of my stuff too.

[reformedsinner]

I will. Maybe one of the shrines on the Near Shore would be a better choice than these on the Far.

[cyberfly]

​Good point. I'll scope out some possible locations too.

[ This feels perfectly natural. It just seems normal to him that he ought to have a safehouse. In truth, he should have set one up a long time ago. ]

[reformedsinner]

Thank you. I'll let you know if I find a good place.

A shrine would probably be best, in order to avoid ayakashi problems.

[cyberfly]

​Do the shrines remain, even if the corresponding temples are destroyed?

[reformedsinner]

I haven't had the chance to visit Elsa's yet, so I can't be certain.

[cyberfly]

Where is it?

[ He'd like to see if it's gone, too. ]

[reformedsinner]

[Hakkai's reply is blank, except for an attached set of directions.

After a few moments, he sends another message.]

Please let me know what you find there. I'm not sure I'll be able to make it out there today.

[cyberfly]

​Okay. I'll text you later.

later that day

[cyberfly]

The shrine is gone, too.

[ Back to hunting for safehouses. He wonders if anyone can cast wards...could be useful for a Near Shore establishment. ]

[reformedsinner]

I see.

Thank you for letting me know. It'll have to be somewhere else, then, won't it?

[cyberfly]

I guess so. This is very inconvenient.

[reformedsinner]

It makes it very difficult to think of anything here as permanent.

I suppose there are the older gods' temples.

[cyberfly]

Yeah. As long as no one decides to move in. New gods seem to appear all the time.

[reformedsinner]

That's true. I don't think they move into abandoned temples, but I'm not sure.

[cyberfly]

I don't know, either. Could be something worth looking into.

[ Why some temples are destroyed, while others just stand empty. Both, he assumes, used to belong to gods that are no longer around. ]

[reformedsinner]

Yes. I'll have to investigate.

We'll find a place eventually, I'm sure.
