Futaba and her temple have both gone missing. I figure there are probably people who'd want to know, but with her tendency to be as reclusive as she was, not everyone may have found out right away.

I'll be coming over. Will it be a problem if I bring Red too?

Just in case any shinki weren't aware, it's possible to remember more than one person at the same time. Not just one little conversation with multiple people there, but by "one person" I think it's just about everything I ever knew about them. And then I remembered all of that about a second person at the same time, waking up to memories of them and how those memories tied to other memories I already had.

It's a lot to think about all at once, that's for sure.


[ He remembered them on the 22nd but just now figured he should let other shinki know. Log for that also has a prompt for anyone to talk to him about this in person following the BBS post as well. ]

[ This video is shot at a weird angle, looking up at the people on the camera from ground level. It's also happening in media res, no introduction, no explanation.

But what's happening is fairly obvious.

It's a guitar battle. Hibiki on acoustic guitar, her opponent on electric bass. They are managing to make it work.

But both of them are incredibly in the moment, here. If you want to get their attention, you might have to yell. ]

I've spoken to a few other people about trying to put together a record of disappeared shinki, since it's harder to tell when they disappear than with gods. If you have a shinki that's gone or know one who has, talk to Wendy at the Shinki Sanctuary so she can record it.

[His link is to her previous post on it, so people know where it is.]

But the main reason I'm posting is that I've updated the record of events. One of the gods who'd been here longest, Midoriya Izuku (Aidos), used to keep a posted record of events here that he'd update every few months. The last update was in June, and he's vanished from here recently. So I thought I'd update the thing myself since I've been here long enough and people keep asking about what's been going on before they were here.

His last update is here, for anyone who hasn't read it yet. I'm not copying it here, otherwise it'll make this twice as long.

If anyone thinks there's anything that should be added or wants more information on something, go ahead and ask. But if you just want to complain about specific people or things, go make your own post. This one's for reference.

Dunno if anyone is interested but Ciel is gone. Um, Asteria if you knew him that way.

Soo... anyone got somewhere I can crash for a couple of days?

[Oh. Wait.]

Uh, somewhere pet friendly?

[Suzaku had woken up and been immediately given decorations to hang for the Halloween party Lady Grell had hosted. He had adjusted quickly though he had learned another thing about himself- parties were not something he enjoyed overly much.

Now that the festivities and tidying up afterwards were dealt with he had had some time to think and he wasn't sure what to make of the fact that he had fallen asleep and stayed asleep for three days.

He is sat in his room at Kali's temple, Kotetsu... well the kitten definitely started on his lap but during the course of the video claws his way up Suzaku's arm, attempts to bite his ear, bats at his hair and smacks him in the face with a paw. Luckily not with his claws out.]


Apologies if this is an obvious or stupid question. [Everything is still very confusing] When I arrived a week ago I was informed that it was normal for people to just disappear.

Is it also normal for people to sleep for more than one night at a time? I fell asleep a couple of days before the big meeting everyone was preparing for and I woke up on Halloween in the afternoon.

[He's seen a few of these videos since arriving here and though he doesn't feel too comfortable posting one it seems the easiest way to get answers]

[Late the night of October 21st, perhaps even in the early hours of the 22nd, a video is uploaded to the BBS. For a moment, it's simply Soleil herself looking a tiny bit perplexed, as if she's trying to figure out if she's got the feed itself going correctly, before giving a small, triumphant smile. Looks like it's all set to go...!]

Good evening, everyone. I have a bit of a request, for anyone willing to hear me out! You see, my shinki's gotten herself in a bit of a bad state, and I'm... really not much of a medic.

[Her smile takes on a slightly sheepish edge at that, but then gives way to a more pensive expression as she continues on.]

The big thing is, though... [How to put this?] I'm not sure if just being well versed in medicine is enough? So, perhaps, if any of you are good with healing as well as machinery, that would be ideal! The two of us would definitely appreciate any assistance offered.

Thank you for your time!

[And, with that, the feed clicks off.]

 [The feed turned on just in time to catch Mai in another sneeze.  Nothing overly dramatic or explosive, but strong enough and with a subsequent slow recovery time to indicate this was not the first.  And she was no expecting it to be the last.]

Ugh...I'm sorry.

[Taking a deep breath, she sat back and looked directly into the camera with a slightly glassy stare.  Hints of red on her nose and cheeks that--for once--didn't come from blushing.  At least, not the usually blushing from her.]


One of the kindergartners I was trying to answer a prayer for a while back must have gotten me sick.  [At least, that was the closest to an explanation she'd managed to come up with.]  I didn't even know I could still get sick, but...it's been weeks, and I only feel slightly better.

Does anybody know if cold medicine works on gods?

[That seemed to be the end of her line of questioning...except, at the last possible minute...one final thought occured to her.  A thought that promptly caused her to frown.]

Oh, and whoever thought to leave that package on my Temple doorstep?  Not funny.

So... this banquet thing. Is it mandatory? Because I honestly can't think of anything I'd rather do less than put on uncomfortable clothes and be in a big crowd of people I don't know all night. Anybody want to have an anti-banquet where we sit around and watch sentai shows or giant robot anime or play video games instead? Can that be a thing?

[Were you expecting a fluffy cat paw batting at the phone? Well, that's what everyone is getting at the moment as the furry demon from Zodiark's balls is batting the poor tech piece around the nightstand, wondering why there is another tiny version of himself staring back at him and doing the same exact thing. This goes on for another minute just like most cat videos do until he perks his head up upon hearing distant creaking. Mandragora speeds off, knocking the phone on the ground. While no one can see what is happening, they can certainly hear it. Starting off with the feline's loud screaming that can be considered meowing. That and-]

Ah-! Mandragora, what is going on?!

[Oh look, Aymeric's finally woken up after two days of sleep if the grogginess in his voice means anything. And he's surprised to see his cat being so cross with him.]

Did something happen? And why does it feel like I hurt myself as I slept?

[No, that would be due to one of Goten's attempts of waking him up. But he's confused and didn't realize he has slept for a extended period.]

Here's your resident redhaired librarian who greets everyone with a slight smile and a wave.]


Hey, everyone. I've noticed there's been quite a few people here who are either illiterate or mute [Selectively mute, anyway] so I've decided to find a way where it might be easier to communicate.

I'll be teaching sign language for anyone who's interested and I'm also offering to help anyone who would like to learn how to read. So far, these will be initially taught at the library or I can even do private tutoring sessions for anyone as well. If you also know people who are interested, spread the word.

And for those who doesn't know me yet, the name's Lavi.

[ Yona makes a rare appearance on the BBS this afternoon, looking unusually serious. ]

For those who haven't heard yet, or who hadn't pieced together what happened from the... excitement at Ra's temple earlier, Izumo Kusanagi is no longer here. For the time being, Shizuo will be handling matters at his bar, but beyond that... [ She trails off, looking uncertain, because she's a little at a loss at how to handle Izumo's unexpected disappearance herself, let alone how to offer words of comfort or reassurance to anyone else feeling the pain of his loss.

But she shakes her head, as if physically trying to shake off the sadness of the half the cause for this announcement before turning to the other half. ]


I had planned to leave a message here this morning anyway. With summer officially coming to an end now, I thought we might have an afternoon to celebrate it. The goddess Áine governs the summer season and I thought to throw an outdoor picnic at the temple here as the season officially changes to autumn on the 22nd. Shizuo and Izumo had been helping me with preparations and planning for it and have said if we keep the meal as a "pot-luck", there should be plenty of food for everyone who shows up. Anyone is welcome to come if you bring a dish or a drink of some sort, whether we've met yet or not.

I know this is going to be hard for some, considering the other reason for my message - and I considered canceling my plans myself for a little bit - but I also think that maybe this is also needed to counter the difficult times some have been having of late. So, either way, I hope to see some of you there. I'll include the location of my temple at the end of this message and if anyone has any questions about it, please feel free to contact me to ask.

[ As stated, after this message is an attachment with the location of her temple, for those not familiar with it. (A mingle will be posted on the IC date of September 22.) ]

Date: September 16, 2016



[Hey, who are these three weirdos showing up on the BBS feed? They may not be familiar to some but to others, the forms of Izumo, Aymeric, and Leo are on screen thanks to the laptop camera in Aymeric's office. No cats included but strange enough the camera is able to fit all three men in view without issue..]

Greetings and well met, Far Shore. To those who are curious of who we are, I am Aymeric de Borel-

Leo, formerly prince of Nohr.

And Izumo Kusanagi.

We come to you with an idea that some may have heard or seen within the past few days, coming together to express it the best way we can. Recall when you first arrived in this realm and were told about your new positions whether god or shinki. However, have you noticed that the information given to us was sparse? Most of what we know now was by either word-of-mouth, spoken by fellow comrades, or we had to experience it.

[Do they need a reminder of Axel and how important the Gods’ Greatest Secret is? While they cannot see it on screen, he keeps his hands folded.]

Not only that but when someone vanishes and there are shinki with no place to go, only to rely on this network and their own connections to find a place to stay and to be safe from harm...there needs to be something done. And we may have that very idea to help: the three of us have come up with the notion of a center of sorts. One to be able to house various information about this world and our roles as well as what can be done.

[Looking to both men as he speaks. He’s not the only one doing this...even if he did kind of drag them into it.

So Leo speaks up.]


There is almost no organization here. We rely on once-monthly training sessions for any information or way to meet the other gods and shinki in the heavens, and sometimes it can be weeks before we realize someone has left the heavens, leaving their shinki godless or their god shinki-less. There is no way to determine how many gods a shinki is named by or how many shinki a god has and what their names are. There is no database of information, no collection of what we know about the world we’re in or the worlds we come from. This is a problem.

[Okay, he’s done.]

It is for this reason that we had decided to fix that problem [A brief pause as he glances at the other two.] and opted to do what we can to help everyone here - god and shinki alike. At the moment, we have managed to procure a location for this at Heaven’s library and we will also offer classes or aid for anyone who finds themselves confused by anything that may seem new to them - such as the technology like the phones that each of us are given when we initially arrive.

Along with the location, we are looking for those able bodied in both physical and mental capabilities to help with the process. There are places that have not yet been mapped and to have a general consensus of the lay of the land would do wonders for those newly arrived. If a shinki has no place to go if they become godless, we need those who are willing to open their doors to give shelter until they can get up on their feet. There needs to be much more information on subjects such as Noraing other than the taboo and whispers in the shadows about how harmful it is. Unless we arm ourselves with knowledge, we will remain ignorant and possibly lose a valuable tool at our disposal.

If there is anyone who is willing to help us, we can be either reached at our current office at the library as mentioned earlier or at this current number to whom we are speaking from along with the temple of Forseti.

[And there’s directions to said library and Aymeric’s temple attached to the message as well. Why only his info? Does anyone want to deal with Niles answering the door? And Izumo seems to be a private person so it’s only fair.]

There has been too much discourse about how to go on in this realm and how only one group should be responsible for the displaced masses. So let us repay in kind and instead of bemusing the misfortunes that are upon us, to stand up and do something for a change. Instead of sitting and watch the world pass by, offer your assistance to someone who needs it. Open your home to one who needs safety in an uncertain time. That is what we are trying to accomplish but we cannot see this to completion alone: we need help, nay we need you.

It happened again. Two months with Ran. Not even that long with Lance. Sorry, Tlaloc to those who knew him.

[Or so Yoon assumes.]

None of my supplies are here. Keith is, though. I only found one book too.

I'm not sure why I haven't been automatically assigned this time... I made a choice the first time and that didn't help Ran out either.

[He turns the phone upwards, showing the Welcome Hall for new shinki.]

I thought maybe coming back here would help me figure things out. So far it's not doing anything.

[There's a sigh before he puts the camera back on himself.]

I wish there was a book about how to choose the right god.

Good evening.

Some of you may already know me but for those who don't, my name is Sakura. It's nice to meet everyone.

Where I'm from, I'm a healer and though I don't have all of my equipment here, I think I can still be of some use. I'm afraid there are some limits to my magic here but my shinki and I can at least help until we can get the assistance you really need. I also have plenty of holy water at my shrine if you need it so please, let me know or come whenever you need to.

I'm also looking for other healers and doctors. Even apothecaries or someone familiar with the medicine of this world would be good to know. I'd like to know my resources so I can help others better. With how things can be here, I'm sure others would appreciate the information too so if you could please respond with any useful information, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you.




- Princess Sakura of Hoshido


( At the end of the post, there are also instructions on how to get to Konohansakuya-hime's shrine. Also feel free to note that her writing style is pretty formal for a network post or who the heck still uses the word apothecary in daily language. )

Robb, do not tease your sister so! (Sansa holds out her hand, walking into frame. The largest wolf breaks free of his free-spirited family and trots up to her. He is rewarded with fresh morsels of meat and a good ear scratch.)

Arya, I have not forgotten you. (Another wolf - this one smaller and darker - edges closer to receive her treat.)

Jon, Bran, Rickon, you too. (Each wolf takes after their namesake in some way: Jon is white, Bran has reddish-brown fur and Rickon is the smallest of the pack, barely out of the puppy stage. Sansa removes her gloves after feeding them and drops a kiss on Robb's head.)

Do not stray far from the temple. I like hearing you sing at night.

It's rare to see Lavi post up on the BBS when it isn't under anonymous, but after waking up from a wonderful sleep and regaining a memory, maybe it's time to greet the morning with a song, don't you think?

So, Lavi starts to sing the song that's been in his mind all day (and yes, he is a lovely singer, okay). It goes on for a few verses before he abruptly stops and then:]


Anyone wouldn't happen to recognize that, would they? It's been stuck in my head all morning and it's beginning to get annoying.
