Posted: July 18
From: Li Tieguai

Good afternoon, everyone. Please excuse my change of name: this is Cho Hakkai.

I appear to have reappeared. Although I don't want to give undue hope to anyone who's recently lost a god or shinki, I'd like to announce that my classes will be continuing as usual.

To those who were living upstairs at the school the past few days, I expect you to help me clean up the mess. You know who you are.

[There are animal cracker crumbs everywhere.

And apart from that he's just not going to mention the events of last few days. At least he wasn't an actual child, but....]

Does anyone have an idea what might have caused it? I'm certain I felt something in the air for a few hours before it happened.

I hope you know that you disappearing made all our work seem pointless for a moment.

[yeah he's grouchy about that]

[....and fuck off about the animal crackers]

Since I'm no longer a shinki, it could be argued it's still pointless!

[He's helping.]

I have brooms set aside in the corridor for you and Ken when you have time.

In that case, in exchange for the work you made us do, I should get out of cleaning.

[WORK SUCKS..... leave him alone]

Isn't it just good manners to clean up after yourself?

[...and as you well know, that work you're talking about was also cleaning up after your own chemical spill, Chikusa....]

[That was only 10% his fault, Mister "blights himself half to death all on his own"!!! let him live]

I've been told I'm very rude.

[Only half to death. Chikusa was responsible for enough of it to break even in doing part of the work to clean it up again. Or so he'll argue... but not on the network.]

As a teacher, then, I'll consider it my responsibility to teach you better manners.

[Good ways to herald your reappearance: arguing over your own ablution. You're welcome, Hakkai.]

I didn't think that was a class you taught.

I change my curriculum to suit the needs of my student.

Broom, front hallway. Today, please.

[There's a long pause, because reasons.]

Just that?

Once you're done sweeping, there's some trash to take out too, but that's all.

Is it the trash we made or just trash in general?

Yours. Although if you'd like to help with other chores I won't complain.

[Just how much has Hestia's offer of help inspired him?]

Have you gotten rid of the traps?

I've gotten rid of some of them. You may want to confirm that I found them all.

They were children's traps. You probably did.

I'll be over shortly.

[He totally did not. Several have been left in place for Chikusa to handle, not because Hakkai couldn't find them, but because they looked annoying to dismantle and Chikusa is responsible.]

For a child's traps, they're quite ingenious.

See you soon.

[Rude as hell, Hakkai.]

They're not the best.

Also I felt something too but I don't know what it was.

[And that's all he'll say, just to add something there.]

[He'll have to ask Sharak if she could detect anything in particular about the aura before the time shifts; she's clearly better trained in the uses of magic than Genjo Sanzo, and that puts her in the upper ranks of refinement. Hakkai's chi techniques are stone tools and torches by comparison.]

Interesting. I'll let you know what I hear.
