[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.

Adachi was a criminal from your world, then?

[Interesting. Well, if he had the audacity to commit crimes back home...what more if he were set loose in a world where his criminal record would pretty much be wiped clean?]

Genesis has given his consent to join the mission; now, I give mine.
pishirogane: (And I should care because?)

Unfortunately so. As much as I hate explaining this, the previous me here wasn't aware. The memories that Naoto held were prior to his capture. It was too late when everyone finally caught on.

[This is personal.]

Then we'll see you both tomorrow.
prosecutory: (♘ people couldn't believe)

I see...considering that he is ruthless enough to consume human souls, it can be assumed that he has murdered people prior to his arrival here, or would certainly not hesitate to do so.

So, would his crimes include murder?
pishirogane: (Don't give me that excuse)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2014-05-12 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
They would. While the first count was a surprise to him as well, it was also sexual assault.
prosecutory: (♘ never an honest word)

[video]

[personal profile] prosecutory 2014-05-19 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Was he surprised because he did not consider that he would be apprehended?

[personal profile] pishirogane 2014-05-19 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
No. He didn't expect her to fall into the other world.

The other world...did this have anything to do with what you narrated to me at the ski lodge?

Yes. Kishin Adachi has simulated the effects of the other world.

You said we will be forced to face ourselves...is that what you did?

[personal profile] pishirogane 2014-05-22 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. The fog is weaker in the tunnels, but the shadows that appear will be the ones you most likely encounter on site. We would like people to familiarize and try to accept them now before we get there. Otherwise, things will quickly get out of hand.
prosecutory: (♘ for some reason)

[video]

[personal profile] prosecutory 2014-05-26 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you simply face your shadow and declare that you accept it for what it is, or will it...sense your emotions regarding the subject?

[personal profile] pishirogane 2014-05-26 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It's you. It will sense regardless so you need to be sincere and ready to accept it.
prosecutory: (♘ what I've become)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2014-06-02 01:08 pm (UTC)(link)
...Very well. It seems I have much mental and emotional preparation ahead of me before beginning the training.

I'm sure you can do it, Edgeworth-san.
