A log to make sense of things

[Private Journal to Kaito and Shian]

Hey guys. I think I got them. I've SEEN them. They made me forget some faces, but they had to do such a rushed botched job, I think that's all I'm missing. And I'm gonna need another back-up brain immediately Shian, before they find me. Gonna. Hang out somewhere safe until then.

[Events:]

1. Probably near immediately after the events of the log, Kaz has caused an uproar (the only thing he can cause) at Duel Academy, carrying two teenagers, one half of his face is a massive bruise, and he's waiting either in the infirmary, or outside of it, having ripped off the sleeve of his shirt to wrap around his finger. He's got a towel he's put in a jar.

2. He's on the Barian Island, book in hand, and looking rather. Paranoid and twitchy. And needs something to hide under for a bit.

... and where exactly are you going to be hanging out, so I can even make you a back-up.

Re: [Private Thread]

[ogrewarrior]

Barians. Figured they're safest.

Re: [Private Thread]

[memoryistime]

Uggh, that means I have to go out to sea, huh.

I've never been there. I'll have to make sure I get the location right.

Re: [Private Thread]

[ogrewarrior]

Sorry man. Just figured no one's ballsy enough to show up here.

They're great folks though, if that helps. Want to join our bookclub?

Re: [Private Thread]

[memoryistime]

Bookclub?

... You have a bookclub?

[Private to Kaz and shian]

[photonslight]

... Them?

Re: [Private to Kaz and shian]

[ogrewarrior]

You know? That case?

With Rose?

I've got hamburger for about half my face and can't see out my left eye pretty sure I'm concussed I'll explain later but we got this probably

Re: [Private to Kaz and shian]

[photonslight]

I doubt that. These people, if they exist, are too good at their jobs.

Re: [Private to Kaz and shian]

[ogrewarrior]

You know who's too good at their job?

It's me. Spoilers.

Also I am amazingly lucky. I think they were more concerned about their hopefully dead forever partner and that I'd stopped their kidnapping so they only could do so much before they got torn apart.

Also, if they exist, Rose got to them first. And, something REALLY creepy to think about? We've gotten close before, but we don't remember.

Re: [Private to Kaz and shian]

[photonslight]

And for all we know, this is just a lull before we get blanked again...

Though, who were they kidnapping?

And "hopefully dead forever partner"?

[Event 1]

[shiningsylvia]

*Sylvia walks in, she seems pretty dazed, her face is pretty red in the middle*

Oh! Hey Kaz, what's u-

*Her smile goes away to looking fearful*

Uh...

Weird question, did you rescue those guys or beat them up for being secret zombies or something?

Re: [Event 1]

[ogrewarrior]

"Nah, Sylvia. They're just kids. ... maybe not zombies. Maybe something else spooky and scary. Castlevania, not Dawn of the Dead."

He says this like he's commenting on their hair color, idly rubbing on the bruised half of his face.

"... What happened to your face."

Re: [Event 1]

[shiningsylvia]

My girlfriend said I was cute, there was a lamp post nearby, the usual.

*Sylvia shrugs and sits relatively close to you*

If they're like vampires and stuff, could you just like duel and have like a garlic card or something? Or like Monster Reborn! Like Final Fantasy when you're on the train!

Re: [Event 1]

[ogrewarrior]

"I'm not sure it works that way. I'm... not QUITE sure if they're even technically DEAD? Never thought it was important enough to bother them about it."

He nods.

"Maybe, uh. Ya seem to be fine, with the. Red mark."

He gestures vaguely.

"Riding an adrenaline thing from being called cute?"

Re: [Event 1]

[shiningsylvia]

Nah, I've just been really hyper lately. Mostly nervous? Iunno.

*Vague shrugging*

It's probably normal before a big tournament?

[Event]

[all_for_not]

*your paranoia and twitchiness did not go unnoticed, especially since Failnaught's a bit on alert himself.*

... You have a reason for being here.

*that isn't a question.*

Re: [Event]

[ogrewarrior]

"More than usual, yeah.

...I, uh. First place I thought of to lay low a bit. Mind eating crime ring bug men are out this time of year.

If that's..."

He squints.

"YOU'RE a little anxious yourself. If I need to go, that's... fine. Or do you mean 'I have a reason' in that I'm fated to be here."

Re: [Event]

[all_for_not]

Just... something came up, recently.

So long as you don't go into any of the buildings, it's fine.

Re: [Event]

[ogrewarrior]

"I don't do that. I'm planning on just burying myself in sand for a bit.

...may I ask, uh. What happened?"

Re: [Event]

[all_for_not]

*he gives it some thought. before deciding it won't hurt to say it.*

One of the Barians we thought for dead was actually alive.

*... he's not saying that in a happy or even a relieved tone, though.*

[spectrecestus]

[Cestus is watching him from behind something.

She's trying to be quiet. But she keeps muttering to herself.]

[ogrewarrior]

Kaz isn't doing too good. So angry whispering isn't going to do much for a sense of safety. Or sanity. But... it's also the Barian's place. They're probably cool.

"Uh... hey...?"

[spectrecestus]

Talking to somebody else?

No. Nobody else around.

Spotted me.

How?

...hmn.

May be speaking out loud.

Hadn't considered that.

[ogrewarrior]

... oh good. They're probably fine though. It's been a weird 24 hours, they're probably just... going through alot. So he waves and smiles.

"Ya can come over here and join me. If ya want."

[spectrecestus]

Inviting me to join him.

Should I go.

No. May be a trap.

[She says stiffly:] I am fine over here.

Who is he.

Don't think he's a Barian.

May be a human.

Hmn.

[She again, says stiffly:] Are you a human.
