[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.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen Hakkai around either.

[And Izumo would usually see him around the school.

...]

Do you know how long he's been gone?

[Her first thought? "Fuck." Her second? "Well, it took them long enough."]

... If he had just gotten another name, you would still be able to feel him.

[Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. She should have known. Now she's left with fucking Gojyo and Dokugakuji of all people.]

Lady Yuri, are you sure you cannot feel Hakkai at all?

[Kaede's face shows concern, hoping that maybe the goddess is mistaken. She is new so it is a possibility isn't it? Perhaps if everyone was now looking for him he would be found. She doubts it as Hakkai isn't the first shinki to disappear but hasn't he been in this world for awhile?]

....are you alright?

[It's a dumb questions but...feels necessary to ask.]

Hakkai? But...

[Yoon's not very close to him, but he does spend a lot of time at the school and Hakkai was one of the first shinki to give him the lay of the land.]

I'll look around.

[ Though he's not that close to Hakkai, either, Miyuki's been going to the school a lot to clear out space for the practice field. He's used to seeing him around, even in passing.

He's also taking note of the rest of the public replies. ]

I didn't see him earlier when I went by the school, so I thought he was just somewhere else for the afternoon. But if he's gone missing, and it isn't the first time someone associated with him has gone missing, that's more than a little suspect.

I was wondering why he wasn't at school today...

I'd like to say that he's just gone off somewhere alone for a bit- I could understand that.
But I read the other replies here, and it sounds like he's gone, in that way that new gods and shinki do sometimes.

I'm sorry, Ixtab-sama. This is damn frustrating, especially because of what he- you- we all went through the other day.

[ He's gone? Ah well, so much for using Hakkai to hurt that Hibari brat. ]

I take it you're his Goddess? My name's Dokugakuji.

I barely knew him, but I'm sorry to hear. He taught me a lot.

I guess I should have returned the favor sooner.

Yuri, I'm... I'm so sorry.

[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.]

[Chikusa seems to be just as bland as usual.]

Then I guess it would have been simpler to just kill him...

[...and just as quick to murder. AT... LEAST HE HAD THE SENSE TO MAKE THIS PRIVATE?]

I spoke to him on the phone just yesterday.... I'm sure he wouldn't switch god without telling you---maybe he's just really busy with something?
