July 17th

[bartenderizing]

uh gotta cancel that training thing today

[ Let's pretend there was one. Especially when he seemed to be just fine on the 16th. Sure, he was 12, but still capable and in need of that training. ]

[bussounoshima]

You won't improve by slacking off.

[What the fuck, Shizuo, she's managing to show up to these things with grey hair. You can manage with brown.]

[bartenderizing]

if your telling me to show up anyway your gonna see why

its not really gonna go anywhere

[ Well it's certainly brown now. It had a fresh bleach job yesterday. ]

[bussounoshima]

So show up and let me see what the problem is. There might still be some exercises we can do.

Sometime early August

[bartenderizing]

how can you tell when your meditating and not just really relaxed in the sun?

[ Was he supposed to meet her up with training? Did he miss a day? After things, he's lost enough track of time that the guy isn't sure what day it is.

At least Sharak knows the guy well enough that she knows this isn't a random joke text coming from out of the blue? ]

[bussounoshima]

If you're tired, go to bed. Stop sleeping outside.

[Oh, she knows it's not a joke. This is a sincere question. Which makes it even dumber.]

[bartenderizing]

im not that kind of tired

and i wasnt sleeping either

[ He'll always be sincere, Sharak. Until he starts picking up too much of Izumo's habits, of which you should beat the shit out of him, should those habits start to crop up. ]

[bussounoshima]

[She honestly suspects Shizuo is terrible at sleeping through the night. Go to bed, idiot. But fine, she'll answer the question seriously now.]

Relaxing in the sun is an important part of meditating. They're not mutually exclusive.

What kind of tired are you?

August 5th, evening (after thread and training log)

[genkireaper]

Because you seemed to be familiar, if not close, with Jennifer- I regret to inform you that she is no longer positioned in the Far Shore.

I'm sorry.

- Botan

[ Botan's honestly a little heartbroken, so it's easier to send a formal-sounding message to 'Aditi.' ]

[bussounoshima]

[Ah. Sharak stares at her phone for a bit in silence. Gone already. She hadn't even noticed.]

Thank you for informing me. If you require any assistance with anything until you find a new god, please let me know.

- Sharak Sanzo

[It feels like there's nothing she can do. Every time this happens there's nothing she can do.]

[genkireaper]

[ Given that Botan had just met Sharak earlier that day, and was talking as if the girl was still around, this had to be incredibly recent. It'll also be incredibly apparent that Botan wasn't a formal type- that simply made the news easy to pass on. ]

Thanks, I appreciate it. I can imagine that your hands can get pretty full, though.

Maybe if I find myself needing to hide behind a barrier! (●ↀωↀ●)

[bussounoshima]

If you do, just let me know. You're welcome to take refuge if you need it.

[Botan may have meant that as a bit of silliness but Sharak responds seriously. If Botan needs somewhere to hide, she'd be safe at the Temple of Aditi.]

Take care.

some time after August 6

[kokuyoyo]

This is Sharak Sanzo, right? I'm Chikusa.

I was told to visit your temple by Hakkai.

[bussounoshima]

["What did that idiot say now?" Sharak thinks, but resists saying. Hakkai is usually pretty sensible, this is probably something important.]

This is Sharak Sanzo, yes. Did you want something?

[kokuyoyo]

Actually, I was told to leave something with you, but I don't know where your temple is located.

[This is maybe a slight twisting of the truth.]

[bussounoshima]

[Well, colour her intrigued. She attaches a map location for the temple of Aditi- look at her, being all technologically competent.]

Yell when you get to the gate or leave it there and I'll have a look.

[She'll wait to see what it is before inviting him in. Anyone can say Hakkai told them to give her something. Besides, even if Hakkai is involved, it doesn't guarantee whatever it is isn't dangerous.]

day of the shinki patrols

[kokuyoyo]

[After some measure of curiosity leading to overhear a patrol.... Chikusa has some concerns. Concerns he feels the need to call someone about.]

Are you at your temple?

[Enjoy this out of nowhere call, Sharak.]

[bussounoshima]

This better not be about another animal...

[She's totally enjoying this out of nowhere call. But she hasn't noticed any strays lurking around the temple and she has been hoping for news from Chikusa's direction, so maybe this call is worth her time.]

I am. What do you need?

[kokuyoyo]

I wanted to talk with you about Hakkai. [And because there's no such thing as too much paranoia-] I'm coming over.

[Is he allowed, Sharak. Is he allowed to even go through that gate.]

[bussounoshima]

[For Hakkai? Yes.] Then come over. Do you need me to go pick you up?

[Because she will, and still bring him back to her shielded temple where they can speak as privately as they can hope to in this place.]

September 18, voice

[kokuyoyo]

[Chikusa's voice is flat and to the point.]

Hakkai's back.

....He doesn't remember anything.

[In the background, there's probably the sound of yelling and things breaking.]

[bussounoshima]

[Well. That's troubling.]

I'm on my way.

Oct 8, 7:42am

[reformedsinner]

My temple has moved. Should you need anything, you can find me at the attached location.

It seems I won't be very good at avoiding attention now....

[There's a map. It's definitely showing a Central District lot.

Is he offering to draw fire? Possibly.]

[bussounoshima]

[Pauses in throwing grain at chickens to check her phone. Huh.]

You're moving up in the world.
Invest in some curtains.

[Did they really need to go this far to watch him? It is Hakkai...]

[reformedsinner]

This time of year, perhaps I'll find blackout curtains on sale?
