Sept 12th - very late [Video]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Despite it being after 11:00pm, a face that has been absent from Death City or any of the recent missions for the last week appears on DEMISE. In fact, Akiha looks far too awake and alert for the time of night. Hair still wet from a recent shower, she has the mirror propped up on her coffee table, letting the viewer see that she has a few newspapers before her - some in English, some in Japanese - that she's leafing through.]

I understand it's late, but is there anyone still awake that can give me an overview of anything of import that transpired this last week? Sion and I have been gone since the Sixth.

[Well there's a ninja still on patrol at this hour, so yey, bored overview]

Since the sixth? Hm.. you missed a fair bit.

[Where to start..]

First off, Kanji and Naoto narrowed down the location of Kishin Adachi.. someone previously from their home world. They gave us a basic rundown on what we might expect and had us face our 'shadows' in a yellow fog in preparation for the fight to come.

After that, we went to Japan to fight against him, where we encountered more than Kishin Eggs, but eventually managed to succeed in the fight. There were two guests casualties- Tsunashi Takuto and Katsuragi Yako, killed in action by Witch Medusa. Shibusen's holding a service.. but a date or time has yet to surface.

As well, Cloud Strife disappeared from Death City.

[Akiha frowned a little when Neji mentioned the casualties, but frowned even more with the revelation that Cloud was gone. He'd been a friend, and Akiha didn't make friends easily.]

Hm. Where in Japan did you fight the Kishin?

[voice]

[heavenly_earth]

A city named Matsue, home to the Adachi Art Museum, where Kishin Adachi was located.

[Apparently Kishin have egos]

[voice]

[ritsu_kouyou]

...that explains that weird wave of Madness we couldn't find the source of.

[Morgan's still up and out drinking actually. There's a nearly empty glass in her hand.]

Gone where?

[But as for the question...]

There was another big mission and a bunch of yellow fog that made bad copies of you. And some woman saying she was a witch, if you care about that kind of thing.

[Video]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Hokkaido. And excuse me? Bad copies?

[As apparently someone being a witch didn't bother the girl that was essentially half-kishin. Not that she was going to volunteer that information.]

[Video]

[pirateninja]

Why? Was there some mission there I didn't hear about? [It's not a location she recognizes from the mission board.]

The fog made copies of you with freaky yellow eyes and a messed up voice.

[Video]

[ritsu_kouyou]

My partner and I were there for special training.

[She raised an eyebrow at the description of the copies.] That seems rather pointless.

[Video]

[pirateninja]

What kind of special training?

And they said dumb stuff about you to try to distract you too.

[Video]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Aren't you inquisitive today.

[Video]

[pirateninja]

Well, you were the one who mentioned special training. I thought it might have been something useful.

Re: [Video]

[ritsu_kouyou]

It was, but the details are irrelevant to anyone else.

[Video]

[pirateninja]

Why? Is it so specific that no one else would even be able to use it?

[Video]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Considering it was tailored to my and my partner's resonance, that would be an accurate assessment.

[Video]

[pirateninja]

[Well, so much for possibly hearing about a useful technique...]

Does it not work here either if you left town to train?

[Video]

[ritsu_kouyou]

There were too many distractions here.

[Video]

[pirateninja]

But wouldn't it help more if you learned how to do it even with distractions? It's not as if there aren't any distractions in a battle.

[Video]

[ritsu_kouyou]

I own a restaurant here. When I am here, I have responsibilities outside of this war. We chose to train elsewhere so we could focus on the war.

Is there a particular reason you're being so nosy? Don't you have a partner to find?

[Video]

[pirateninja]

[Well, as that pathetic Shadow had accused her, she was lonely inside. But Akiha's annoyance brought out her own.]

Fine. Whatever.

[She hung up. Her drink probably appreciated her company more.]
