From: Jae-Ha

Kija is gone. I can tell that he's not here.

Really, has no one found out the reason behind disappearances like this? If anyone knows what's happened to him or has hurt him in some way, you'd better come forward now before I discover this later. I won't have any mercy towards someone like that.

Who can tell me anything about this? Anyone?

i guess this is here first,

[Being woken up before dawn by distressed shinki feelings is never a good sign. Hazel manages the following steps: rolling over, getting out of bed, and stumbling. What time is it? Where did this big lizard go??

When he finds Jae-Ha on the porch, he pauses to look at him for a moment, then simply walks over to join him on the porch swing in silence. He didn't stop to check his phone or anything, but he doesn't need a BBS post to be bothered by these feelings, so he's here, leaning against Jae-Ha with a vague hum. The hum means he's here and might soon be capable of speech, if necessary.

It could also mean he is way tired, but either way: hey sad dragon.]

thirst

[razzledazzles]

[Jae-Ha glances up when Hazel steps out onto the porch, slowly and silently turning back to the sky once Hazel sits next to him. The weight is a comfort beside him, but the pain in his heart is still there, deep and unable to be helped. He frowns a little bit.]

I tried not to wake you. [But he knows these emotions aren't really easy to sleep through... He leans back into Hazel a small bit, his hands curled together in his lap.] Kija disappeared.

*this is here thirst, there

[churchbelle]

[Aha - so it's one of them. The waving one... Hazel doesn't know anything about him, really, besides that he has a big hand and was here before he himself was, with that young lady Yona. Hmm. Irrationally - he hopes - he wonders if Jae-Ha is next, but he clamps down on that thought to put it aside. Not now.

He's quiet, both to give Jae-Ha a moment and to mentally shake himself a little more awake. For this, he should be...]

How are ya holdin' up? [Besides sad, he's got that one.]

[reformedsinner]

I'm sorry to hear that.

Has his god said anything to you about it? Hedone, I believe it was?

[private]

[razzledazzles]

From what I understand, he actually left his god before he vanished. He told me he was released after a talk they had.

[slantedcross]

Sorry to hear it. Even if we didn't get along, I liked him-- he's a good kid.

If you're the type to drown it out, I'd buy you a bottle of your preference. If you aren't, I wish you well in your other coping mechanisms.

private

[razzledazzles]

I don't see how anyone could have gathered that from how you acted like you did.

[Ah, a bit snappy, but he's not in the best of moods either.]

Either way, thank you. My god happens to have plenty of alcohol so there's no need.

I'm more curious if you noticed anything yourself, or if you wouldn't have been able to with how little you spoke with him. Did anything seem strange? Had he tried to contact you? Was there no sign at all?

[killsthebuddha]

The kid with the useless shithead god, right?

Read this. It stops being useful when they start bitching about paperwork.

[razzledazzles]

He had the large white claw for a right hand. Yes.

Are you saying you think he could have died again?

[shockshot]

I'm sorry.

I didn't get to meet Kija, so I can't help you with the search. I can ask around if you like, do something to help with a search.

That is, if that's what you want.

[razzledazzles]

I don't know if there's a risk to asking around about things like this, so you'll have to decide on your own if you're willing.

There's no need for a search, though. I can tell that he's gone completely from both the near and far shores.

[shadepossessed]

[ah, this dude. Alright...]

friend of yours? shinki or god?

[razzledazzles]

Yes. Shinki. We used to have the same god before she disappeared, too.

[bussounoshima]

[Well, shit. She knows from experience there's very little that can be said to comfort someone when someone is missing like this.]

I'll let you know if I find anything.

[razzledazzles]

Thank you. I know that many people have vanished like this and there still seems to be no answer... It's worrying to say the least.

[galactically]

[well, shit...]

what a shame
Kija was such a fun man to tease

[maybe something lighter will help?]

[razzledazzles]

[It doesn't help much, but he does appreciate the effort.]

As it turns out, I thought so, too. Perhaps he's found Yona.

Loki; private

[volksdaemon]

You might have a better chance if you told them what he looks like. Or where he was last seen and usual hang-out spots. Some people would look harder with a reward on the table.

[Basic missing persons tactics, really.]

private

[razzledazzles]

There's no need to look for him. I know that he's gone.

What I'd like are answers as to why this happens to some shinki and gods.

[She wishes her powers worked through text. There's a few quotes she could ramble off about loss and moving on or whatever, but she doesn't think Jae-ha would appreciate them]

Jae-ha, I'm sorry. That doesn't mean much, I know, but I am. Are you okay? When you're up to it, let's do something fun to help you feel better, okay?

[razzledazzles]

Thank you, Sanzang. Don't worry about me. I'm only worried that Kija may have gotten into trouble without my realizing. There's no way of knowing if he's okay.

[Zeno read the post to Shin-ah. He might have stumbled over the White Dragon's name-- he's never spoken it out loud before. Makes the finality of it a little too real, considering the first time he spoke the original Hakuryuu's name aloud was the last time they ever laid eyes on each other.]

Blue Dragon was just telling me we ought to ask if you'd sensed it, too.

private text

[razzledazzles]

It would be strange if I couldn't sense it. He was gone instantly, wasn't he? No hesitation or struggle.

I wonder if I'll be next.

[pachintoki]

friend of yours?



[He might be trying to be sympathetic.]

[razzledazzles]

Like a brother.

[Obviously he was a friend... He's not in the best of moods, so he doesn't try to lighten it.]
