----------

This is Add again. Apparently, I've been given an unexpected promotion to godhood.

Before anyone asks: no, I don't know how or why this happened. The Heavens' representative who spoke to me didn't seem to know anything about it, either. I just woke up like this. And yes, I remember everything. That includes both my past lives and after I became a shinki. As far as I'm aware, none of my memories are missing. In fact, I seemed to have gained some additional ones, but that's a bit harder to explain...

[It's like he literally came back from the dead in his homeworld and continued where he left off, but he's a bit reluctant to believe in that so soon. Maybe when his soul was taken by Monad he hadn't actually died...? It seems way too good to be true.]

Anyway, the bad news is that Roxas is AWOL. Chang'e's temple is gone and I haven't been able to get ahold of him at all. He's the one that's always wearing a black cloak, so don't mix him up with Artemis.

His other shinki Jakob has been reassigned to me, but Ludger has also gone missing. He has white hair with a black streak in it, very quiet, excellent cook, owns a white cat that answers to May.

If anyone has seen either of them, let me know as soon as possible.

[But be assured that Yukine's first reaction upon reading this was 'crap'.]

(Also not here)

[subtract]

[Don't worry, Yukine, Add will find the perfect time to tease you about that as much as possible, kukukuku...]

[oathkeeper]

[What the crap Add is a god now?????????????? Chang'e is gone??????????? What is happening where is Ludger what is uh skejfrskrawh]

uhhh may showed up on my doorstep this morning

[subtract]

I don't suppose she had any extra shinki in tow, did she?

[... probably not. he mostly meant it as a joke, but he still can't help but want to be a little hopeful...]

[oathkeeper]

no... i'm sorry add

[No Ludger attached, unfortunately...]

do you wanna come visit her?

1/2

[subtract]

Don't apologize for something that has nothing to do with you. [Why were there so many irresponsible pet owners around here? Disappearing and leaving their cats behind...]

I should at least make sure you're taking care of her properly. If my temple wasn't such a mess, I'd take her home myself. [Which is to say yes, yes he does want to visit her.]

2/2 action

[subtract]

[... and not even ten seconds after sending that response, he does. Be thankful that he doesn't have to smash any hole in the reality of Baldr's temple now that he's a god himself. Add just abruptly appears a short distance away from him. He also has six diamond-shaped drones hovering around him idly, so that's a thing.]

Hm, the physical distance between our temples is a lot closer now. [Almost like they're in the same pantheon or something...]

[oathkeeper]

[Sora is just replying to Add's text when poof suddenly he's in the same room as him only a few paces away. Sora jolts and yelps in surprise and throws his phone up into the air and clumsily juggles at it several times before it clatters to the ground. The screen is already smashed from a previous incident so no matter...]

Geeze! Add! Don't do that!

[Teleporting Add is gonna be something to get used to. Sora teleports all the time but he doesn't sneak up on people!

Sora heaves softly and goes to pick up his phone. He then stares at Add and those weird drone thingys.]

Wow... You're really a god now, huh?

[subtract]

[He starts cackling at Sora's shocked reaction. Yeah, he'll definitely need to get used to that because there's no way Add isn't going to abuse his powers to freak people out. Now he has even more methods to sneak up on people, kukuku...!]

Henir, Master of Time and Space, at your service.

[...and now he finally notices the broken phone.] Ah, you should hold onto that more carefully next time. Do you want me to fix it for you? [Since he figures it broke just now and not earlier... though he doesn't look very guilty about it. A screen should be easy enough to fix! And maybe he could fit in a few extra upgrades while he's at it.]

[oathkeeper]

[Sora looks slightly exasperated when Add cackles at him but it's quickly replaced with his own amused smile and he shrugs his shoulders.]

Master of Time and Space, huh? Well teleporting is gonna suit you just fine from the looks of it! Henir... do you know a lot about Henir yet?

[He looks down at his phone.] Eh, it's been broken for a while. It still works good enough? I guess I should get the screen fixed though... [He kind of chucked it at a wall once.

Just then there is a soft mew and May pads into the living room and leaps gracefully up onto the arm of the couch. She mews again and stares at Add. She's got a pretty shiny new blue ribbon tied around her neck in a neat bow.]

[birdstheword]

[Whattttttttttt?]

Are you sure you're not dreaming? Pinch yourself!

[subtract]

Unless I've dreamt up a 20 year lifespan and hallucinated an entire temple, I think I can confidently say I'm not.

Alternatively, if I'm dreaming right now then you're not real, so shouldn't you be pinching yourself?

[birdstheword]

You really are a god!

[Did she acutally pinch herself? Maybe~]

How do you feel Add-kun?

[subtract]

I suppose I could say that I feel divine. [He could, but he's not really. There's too much happening at once for him to place how he feels about it...]

At any rate, it's good to have my memories back.

[birdstheword]

Does this mean I get to play catch up with you? I wanna know more about you Add-kun! We can play 20 questions!!!

[subtract]

20 is a lot of questions to ask a person all at once. That's not how you play that game anyway.

[He could demand to ask just as many questions back, but Hajime would probably give him weird answers... and it's not like he needs an excuse to get information from her. She's an open book, from his experience. Unless she's been lying or hiding things from him, in which case she probably wouldn't give him straight answers anyway.]

You can ask whatever you want, but I'm not promising you any answers.

[savioring]

So there's not a single trace left of the god who disappeared?

[That seems extreme... though she noticed the same thing when Naminé left.]

[subtract]

A few possessions were left behind, but the temple and its grounds are completely gone. Both of their cell phone numbers and BBS accounts have been deactivated as well.

It's possible they've been assigned new identities, but aside from that... [it's more likely that they've vanished just like all the other gods and shinki that have gone missing.]

[savioring]

I doubt it. If they were here before, why would their names change?

Why would he be mixed up with this Artemis when his god name is Chang'e?

[subtract]

Reassigned as new gods? My default name on the BBS was changed. [and he still can't be bothered to update it]

They both go by Roxas and have similar appearances. If I didn't specify, some idiot would try to tell me they've found him when they mean a completely different person.

[savioring]

They would have contacted you if they had changed, would they not?Or were you not friends?

[..... uhm.]

That's a pretty unique situation.

[subtract]

There are numerous possibilities that could prevent them from doing so, if you don't have any information then you don't need to state the obvious to me. Of course they'd contact me if they realized I'm looking for them.

[He just doesn't want to accept that they're really gone, that there's no chance they might still be here...]

[shockshot]

Shinki to god huh? Should we throw you a party to celebrate that you have your memories back?

I don't know either Jakob or Ludger though, sorry. You've been having a busy week though.

First one thing, then the other...I hope it's not always this way.

[subtract]

I'm not really in a party-throwing kind of mood.

It's always one step forward and two steps back. At this point I shouldn't even be surprised anymore. I'm a magnet for this type of nonsense. [Roxas would probably say something like that...]

[shockshot]

Understandable, I guess!

It almost sounds like you're in a magnet for trouble. I'd say at least your life isn't boring but that feels kinda rude.
