[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.

Found out, as in the ablution? For one, I really don’t think they’d care. And for two, the gods of heaven aren’t the ones making people appear and disappear.

[SO THEY SAY, but... Yuri crosses her arms over her chest and looks skeptical. She's glad they aren't doing this over video or anything so he'd see.]

Hakkai did like to cause trouble for them, though. Still, I'd rather not go pointing fingers at them either.

It'd just be nice to have someone to blame.

'like'? I hope you mean that in a figure-of-speech kind of way.


There is someone to blame: whoever is really behind this.
We gotta find them and make them pay for messing with all of us like this.

[onerous]

I do. [SORT OF... Maybe Hakkai took a certain level of joy in being a pain.]

Do we have any other leads about who it might be?

[returnedfromtheline]

I haven’t heard anything, and it’s annoying as heck.
Last I heard was about someone messing with even the Near Shore people, leaving those anti-Amaterasu flyers around. No idea what they’d get out of that, though. It’s not like people will stop believing in the sun. And why in other countries where she’s not really worshipped?
It’s all really stupid.

[onerous]

I was wondering about that, actually. Does Amaterasu rule over the whole world, or is it just Japan? Maybe they're trying to stir up some rebellion or something?

You’d be better off asking a god than me, honestly.
And who knows. It looks pretty pointless to me, but I suppose they wouldn’t do it without a reason, even if that reason is ‘distraction’.
