[18: September 7th, Noon | Video]

[This entry's strange in that a file is included, labeled IMPORTANT. Might be handy to open it up first and take a look. But there's Kanji looking grim from the very start of the video, not looking at the camera.]

...Yo. I'm gonna make this as quick as I can, but there's some heavy shit I gotta lay down. If ya opened up the file, then ya know what I'm gonna talk about's not gonna be pretty. It's an old poster, I know, but it paints a picture for you, and lets you see what this prick looks like.

His name's Tohru Adachi. He's from the same world as Naoto n' me. Back home, he did some things we thought he regretted when he was caught n' arrested, but... we were wrong.

[The frown deepened. Maybe he was from a timeline where he'd won, but what did that matter now? He finally looked at the camera. His eyes are hard, a steelier gray than normal.]

BREW brought him here, back when it started grabbin' people from different worlds. He was free again, and it got to his head. Long story short, he ate a helluva lot of innocent souls and turned. Bastard's a full-blown Kishin!

[He scowled, ran his hand down his face. Focus... he needed to focus. From outside the frame, a smaller hand settles on his shoulder and squeezes. Kanji glances over briefly, and slowly his shoulders unhitch.]

Shibusen and agents brought in by BREW took his ass down, but then the Witches took him. Since then, he's been a pain in the ass to find, almost disappeared completely.

...'til now. Me n' Naoto found him, and we get the feeling he ain't gonna be where he is for long before he moves on and we lose him again. Shibusen's on board and we're planning a direct attack, but we need a team. We stomp his ass, and we get the information we need to start trackin' down where Medusa's hiding! We can finally bring an end this war!

[The hand at his shoulder lowers to the upper arm as Naoto enters the frame and has a seat. She nods to the taller boy before addressing the camera, far calmer than the visibly-agitated Kanji.]

Some time ago, investigations unearthed an underground tunnel system beneath the desert. Inside, there lies a lingering thin but viable amount of the yellow fog of Kishin Adachi's creation, his weapon. He will no doubt make use of it in the battle as he has before. Therefore, training in the fog in a controlled environment such as this will not only be a boon to us, but an unpleasant surprise for him. As for what the fog does...

[Now she looks warily away from the camera, but it's short-lived.]

Like Madness, it plays upon your fears and anger, but the properties of this fog functions differently. The fog is like a mirror, forcing you to face yourself in its entirety, for good and for ill. It's... something we can't properly explain without a visual.

In any case, we understand there may be hesitation to undergo such an operation, considering the strength of a Kishin. That is why we hope to answer as many questions as we can now and give it our all when the day comes.

To those of you who wish to participate in what will be your toughest mission yet, you have our utmost gratitude. We would be unable to do this without any of you.

I suppose... How soon did you expect to go after him? And this tunnel is the same one you mentioned some weeks ago? [With everything else that had been happening lately, she'd forgotten about that.]

As soon as physically possible.

[She nods] The very same.

That fog still hasn't dissipated after all this time? [That's certainly unnatural...] When's the training going to take place?

[personal profile] pishirogane 2014-05-10 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
It hasn't. Most likely due to it's nature of being the product of a Kishin, it won't leave until he's defeated.

[At least, she surmises as much]

Tomorrow. Most likely, this will take two days.

I'll see if my partner's up for it. We only just got back from dealing with some demons.

[Well, it didn't seem like she'd be getting much rest then. And two days...]

You're expecting problems for folks who haven't seen this fog before?

[personal profile] pishirogane 2014-05-10 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
That's fine. I wouldn't recommend dragging your partner into this is he's still exhausted.

[She shakes her head]

No. The time between the first encounter and the last has nearly been a year. We expect everyone will have their individual issues against it.

[personal profile] vintage_magic 2014-05-11 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
I guess we'll see in the morning. I'm pretty tired myself at the moment. What time did y'all intend to leave?

Nearly a year? Is there anyone still around who encountered him back then? [She'd heard from Edgeworth there were a few who had been here a year or longer but she imagines it can't be many.]

[personal profile] pishirogane 2014-05-11 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Around the usual time for morning training. If not, once it concludes.

Only a few. Cloud-san has been providing us with information.
vintage_magic: (wardrobe 1 | Hmm... | Thinking)

[personal profile] vintage_magic 2014-05-11 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[A nod.] All right. Are y'all meeting at the park first?

Cloud? Don't think I've ever talked to him before. Did he know anything else other than what's been said already?
pishirogane: Icon by: <user name=pishirogane> (Neutral)

[Video]

[personal profile] pishirogane 2014-05-11 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
I believe so.

Unfortunately, it seems as though the fog was Adachi's only tactic then.

[Video]

[personal profile] vintage_magic 2014-05-12 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
You think he might have developed other abilities since then?
pishirogane: Icon by: <user name=pishirogane> (Neutral)

[Video]

[personal profile] pishirogane 2014-05-12 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I do. That's why it's necessary to be prepared against this first line of offense.
vintage_magic: (wardrobe 1 | Hmm... | Thinking)

[Video]

[personal profile] vintage_magic 2014-05-12 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[A nod.] Besides making this fog, do y'all know what he looks like now?

[The demons here rarely looked human so she assumed this man might have also warped somehow...]
pishirogane: (Perhaps you could explain)

[Video]

[personal profile] pishirogane 2014-05-12 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I doubt he's decided to change all that much. If anything, he'll appear the way he did when we fought before.
vintage_magic: (spirits 1 | neutral)

[Video]

[personal profile] vintage_magic 2014-05-12 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
So, you don't think he's changed into a giant monster or something? But if that's the case, should it be so difficult to defeat him?

[personal profile] pishirogane 2014-05-12 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Even if he hasn't taken on a monstrous appearance doesn't mean he is human. He can probably change his form as he pleases.

[personal profile] vintage_magic 2014-05-13 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Shapeshifting? I reckon it would be a problem if he could disguise himself as other people.
pishirogane: Icon by: <user name=pishirogane> (Neutral)

[Video]

[personal profile] pishirogane 2014-05-13 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Though, given both his ability and Madness, it's probably unnecessary.
vintage_magic: (wardrobe 1 | Hmm... | Thinking)

[Video]

[personal profile] vintage_magic 2014-05-14 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Are you planning on folks all attacking him at once? [She was a bit uncertain about using Lezard's spells with a crowd nearby and the danger of accidentally setting other things on fire...]
pishirogane: Icon by: <user name=pishirogane> (Neutral)

[Video]

[personal profile] pishirogane 2014-05-14 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
We're planning to have groups surround him and cut of his exits. Once we encounter him, we don't know how he'll immediately react. Still, at least we'll keep him from running away. Kanji and I will intercept him directly.
vintage_magic: (spirits 2 | door | back turned | leaving)

[personal profile] vintage_magic 2014-05-14 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[She nodded. That sounded doable without too much risk of accidental harm.] I guess that makes sense with you two being one of the strongest pairs and knowing him too.

[And she hasn't got any more questions at the moment so...]

I guess I'll see y'all in the morning then.
pishirogane: Icon by: <user name=pishirogane> (Neutral)

[Video]

[personal profile] pishirogane 2014-05-14 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yes... [It would be reassuring to have the others, but there's nothing they can do.]

Alright. Rest well, Ivory-san.
