Posted: July 10

[ The video turns on to a shot of Yata looking... well, that's a little harder to tell right away because he's trying to appear as neutral as possible at the moment. Despite that, inwardly he's panicking a little.

He rubs a hand against the back of his neck awkwardly as he addresses the BBS. ]

So, uh. I'm guessing waking up to find your god's temple missing is a bad sign, huh?

... Missing? Yata... Oh no....

[thevanguard]

[ He sighs, running a hand over his hat as he sinks down against a nearby tree. ]

I'll take that as a yes, then.

[pure_radiantics]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean... Well, maybe I did. I haven't seen it for myself, but other people keep saying that's a bad sign.

Do you... want any help looking for her?

[VIDEO]

[mementodagger]

[Oh boy does he know this feeling. Have a young guy with an eyepatch giving Yata an uncomfortable but sympathetic look.]

It happened to me a few months ago. It means your god is gone.

I'm... sorry.

[thevanguard]

[ Shit. he'd been afraid of that. ]

Just like that? We don't even get a goodbye or anything?

[monkeyblue]

Tch. I can't even find mine.

[Fushimi's just chilling somewhere in a park on the Near Shore]

[thevanguard]

Still no luck, huh?

[ Yata looks apologetic. ]

Sorry. I don't even have a floor to offer at the moment. Looks like we're both out of luck.

[toremainbehind]

[....

Izumo breathes out.]

Need a place to stay in the meantime?

[thevanguard]

[ .... ]

Didn't your temple just blow up? Again?

[ Gossip gets around fast. ]

[thehandhungers]

My goddess at least left a note. Otherwise I was set loose as well by her sudden absence.

Did you know your god long?

[Owain just arrived so the sting of it was not so severe. Some self doubting and frustrated confusion came with it but he powered through it so far.]

[thevanguard]

I've only been here a couple a weeks now, so now. Not really. But I liked her, I guess.

[ Enough that he's feeling disappointed at the loss of her. ]

[tacomeme]

That happened to my shinki before he even got a chance to meet his god. Apparently it's not uncommon.

[thevanguard]

Yeah, I guess I heard it could happen, I just didn't think it would be so... abrupt?

[Nari doesn't video unless he has to.]

I woke up with the temple gone, and the next thing I knew, I was at a new one.
Didn't get to pick this new guy, but he's decent.
Take the advice from other people if you can: find a god you get along with and don't wind up like me with a goody two-shoes.

[thevanguard]

That's easier said than done when you don't really know any other gods. I was focusing on the one I had!

Video

[very_goodman]

Yeah... it's happened to me twice now.

[He was a nora, so it's not quite the same as having nowhere to go, but he still feels bad.]

[thevanguard]

Shit, twice?

[ That sucks even worse. ]

Video

[sonofson]

Missing? Like it's gone? That happened to me two times before...the second god I had was only here for about five days. It happens to a lot of other people too... I wish I knew why gods disappeared.

[Luckily he's with Aymeric now but there is that fear that one day he'll wake up and Aymeric won't be there...]

Are you okay?

[thevanguard]

[ Yata just sighs, rubbing a hand at the back of his neck. ]

yeah, I mean. Other than confused as hell. I didn't expect it to happen out of nowhere like that.

[chickshades]

Yeah. Especially when you were in the middle of a really good dream when your bed disappeared.

[thevanguard]

I think I slept through that part of it.

You too, huh?

Action

[lionhearrt]

[ Mikoto watches the video in silence. When it's over, he pockets the device and lights a cigarette letting the smoke soothe his temper. Another one. First Bandou and now Misaki, and Fushimi's god never even claimed him. Abandoned. His knuckles tighten into a fist. His men had been abandoned - Again.

He hadn't been any good to them when he was alive and here they had a chance to start things over without the mess he put them in but this. Mikoto flicks the cigarette to the ground. He couldn't keep turn his back on it.

Crushing the cigarette with his foot, Mikoto takes off. Not long after, he finds Misaki. ]

Yo.


[ ooc; let me know if action is okay ]

it is okay! Sorry for the feels punching >.>

[thevanguard]

[ Yata's in a Mood.

Despite the fact that he'd managed to keep it hidden in the video, after he shuts the feed off and sinks back into his own thoughts, he's left with all the worries and doubts he'd been trying to ignore since he woke up in a field this morning where his home had been. He hadn't been Nami's shinki long, but it had been long enough for him to start to like her and now, with her vanishing on him without a word or even a goodbye...

The niggling fear that it's somehow his fault, that maybe he hadn't been good enough or picked up on things quick enough, had maybe been part of the reason for her leaving... well they're not so easy to ignore at the moment.

He's still sitting under the tree he'd made the video from when someone calls out to him. He hadn't even heard him approach while lost in his own thoughts and Mikoto's voice makes him jolt a little. Inwardly scolding himself for being so careless, he just slumps back more firmly against the tree and averts his gaze, unable to meet his eyes. ]

What do you want? If you're here to yell at me more, I'm not in the mood...

[ Yeah, someone is still grumpy about the ayakashi incident. ]

Anon; text

[volksdaemon]

Yep. Means you're gonna show up at some random god's temple tomorrow morning.

[thevanguard]

[ Well that was... weirdly specific. ]

Tomorrow morning?
