[ 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?

It's not normal fire.

[ Yata skids to a stop when Goten hops down out of the tree and the Aura fades. But then he holds up his hand and curls his fingers into a fist and the flames spring up again, licking around his hand without actually burning anything. ]

It's just something I can do. I can channel it into objects too, like my board.

[sonofson]

Yeah it's like Izumo's but...different.

[He's never seen Izumo use it like Yata is. Goten is easily amazed to. Not a mintue of meeting Yata and already the boy finds him incredibly cool! Wow!]

So...can everyone use fire differently? I've seen Izumo do it and his god Mikoto and Eric..now you! You're all amazing!

[thevanguard]

Eric?

[ That stops Yata short because wait, what? ]

You've seen that guy use it, too?

[sonofson]

Eric? Yeah! When I first met him he showed me. He said Izumo trains him like he sorta trains me but with fire. Izumo helps a bunch of people I guess.

[When does Izumo ever sleep is becoming more and more of a question. Regardless, he has no problem mentioning it to Yata. Everyone with those fire powers seem to know each other so they can be trusted right? Yata is really cool too! Worse case he can just ask Izumo more about him later over food.]

[thevanguard]

Huh.

[ It's clear Yata finds that really interesting. ]

I don't know him that well yet, so I didn't know about that. But someone asked me to keep an eye on him, so maybe that's why?

[ It was definitely a weird coincidence, that's for sure. ]

Maybe I'll ask Izumo about it, too.

[sonofson]

[Yeah Goten doesn't get that at all. He looks a little confused too. Why would he be told to watch Eric? That's just weird.]

Who told you to watch Eric? How come? Oh! Izumo would be the best person to ask! He knows a bunch of people and he's super strong. You should hang out with us more or come by his bar more!

[Goten spends a lot of his free time around Izumo now that they're 'best friends' and if all this helps Yata feel better about his missing god, then that's even better!]

[thevanguard]

[ Yata makes a face and rubs at the back of his neck. ]

Izumo's god. He's letting me stay at his place until I find a new god. But he told me to keep an eye on Eric in exchange for doing so. He made it sound like Eric was in some sort of trouble and needed protection? But I don't think Eric knows anything about it.

[ The whole thing is just really confusing for him, okay. ]

[sonofson]

[Goten blinks at that, eyes widening a bit]

Does that mean his temple is back? A week does fly by fast..

[That also means one important thing besides the fact that it was good Izumo and Mikoto had their home back.]

Alright. I'm not grounded anymore if that's true!

[Yes! Desserts are going to be a thing again. Thank you Yata! But the Eric bit makes him settle down. That is weird.]

....It didn't seem to me like Eric was in trouble when I met him...and with fire powers like you guys, he should be pretty strong right?

[thevanguard]

Yeah, it seems to be. I thought it was still gone, too, but Izumo let me know otherwise.

[ Although that exclamation has him blinking in confusion. ] Grounded? Why were you grounded?

You'd think. Although there's someone here who has fire powers but can't do much with them, or so he said. I think he was a god, though, so I don't know if that's the same? But if Eric can do this too... I didn't know that part. Mikoto never mentioned it. or much of anything, really.

[sonofson]

'cause the temple got blown up. Izumo said I couldn't have dessert all week. It's been awful.

[And unfair. Mikoto just got a hit on the head...]

...Sounds like you're a super weird spy or Mikoto is playing a game with you.

[He seems like the type to do that. So he can sleep]

[thevanguard]

What did you have to do with the temple blowing up? I thought that was all Mikoto?

[ It's not like that guy needed help, after all. The weirdo.

He gives an aggravated sigh at Goten's guess, though, because he'd suspected the same. ] I wouldn't put it past him at this point.

[sonofson]

Uh...I was there too.

[Maybe he shouldn't explain, but then again, Yata can't ground him like Izumo apparently can]

He's funny...

[It's said with a smile. He's only met Mikoto once but....what a meeting that was]

Eric is really nice though. If he hangs out with Izumo, I don't think you gotta watch him.

[thevanguard]

If that's what Mikoto's charging me for rent though I don't see a way around it. [ He sounds annoyed about it. ] We don't have a lot of choices at the moment.

[ God he missed Nami already. ]
