From: Ixtab
[Yuri almost never shows her face on the network, literally or in text. She prefers to lurk and read, but she knows this is the fastest and most effective way to reach a lot of people.]
Has anyone-- [She begins, and then stops, gaze lowering a moment. It's a question she shouldn't have to ask. She knows he's gone, can feel it, but maybe he's not gone entirely. Maybe they just moved him to a new god, again. Maybe there's still hope.
So she takes a breath, sighs, and tries again.] Has anyone seen Hakkai? His phone's disconnected. And... I can't feel him anymore... But I thought, maybe, he'd just gone to another god, or... [She makes a helpless gesture and shrugs, shaking her head. 'I don't know,' she seems to be saying.]
If not then I'm afraid he's probably-- Gone. Entirely. [And damn if that doesn't absolutely gut her to say. She's always been good at masking her emotions, but she closes her eyes here and takes a breath, giving herself away entirely to just how badly it effects her.]
...Thanks.

Private Video; from Kairi
[This was a terrible idea but she wanted to try Video instead of text.]
You seem... not blighted, so it wasn't like when the Ablution happened, right?
[She's a little scared that they failed her somehow. Her and Hakkai both.]
Private Video foreverrr
No, don't worry. The Ablution went perfectly. Hakkai was doing a lot better--I hadn't gotten stung once since then. [Granted it's only been a couple days, really, but still.] If the Heavens are behind this I would've hoped they'd take that into account, but... Maybe not...
Re: Private Video foreverrr
I'm sure I should be glad the Ablution worked, but if he ended up getting taken away anyway... now I'm worried about the Soulless Shinki that we performed the ritual on too - Chikusa and Izumo and Hakkai and I.
[Sigh. She wishes she could do something for Yuri.]
I hope nothing bad happened to Neji too?
[They met briefly and he introduced himself, so as long as Yuri has someone still there while she's upset... maybe better him than Kairi herself.]
no subject
Yuri shakes her head] Neji's fine. [Probably secretly smugly pleased that Hakkai's gone.
But her thinking is along the same lines as Kairi's though] I still have him, at least... I don't know what I'd do if something happened to him.
[As an after-thought she adds:] Don't thin your hard work went to waste, though. You and the others saved Hakkai and you saved me.
no subject
I definitely don't regret helping you both out. [She's quite firm about that.]
Neji and I met that day so as long as you have someone as dedicated as that around, I'm... happy sounds bad, but a little relieved I guess.
I want to believe Yukine when it comes to the Heavens. He'd know, I'd think - him or Mr. Kazuma. Do you know him at all?
no subject
She looks thoughtful a moment, then shakes her head.] I don't think so. I know of him, I think- He's Bishamon's exemplar, right? But I don't think I've ever properly met him. [She shakes her head]
I want to believe them too, but when you're on the inside anyhow, it's hard to see the flaws and red flags for what they are, you know? At the same time it's hard to get anything done if you can't trust anyone. It's a difficult sort of situation.
But Hakkai had his problems with the Heavens, so it's hard to not look to them for blame.
no subject
That's right, that's who Mr. Kazuma is.
But... I remember what we heard during his Ablution, so I can't exactly dismiss your fears looking to them for blame. I can only hope that turns out to not be the case anyway. This isn't the kind of judgement I'd expect, after a shinki goes through something as... impactful as an Ablution.
Anyway, I just wanted you to know that if you need to talk about something, I know both of them - Yukine and Mr. Kazuma.
