1:30 AM?, Sunday night, Week 9
[ Dhaos returns back to his room eventually after that conversation with Katerina and Miata comes to a conclusion of sorts. Of course, he peers in and makes sure Yoite is either sleep or awake. ]
Are you up?
[ He closes the door behind him after he enters. ]

"I'm an all powerful, all knowing being who has no need for these stupid feelings that come along with this body. Killing them off is just easier in the end."
He had tried to kill his feelings off too, but it hadn't worked so well. But now that Dhaos was back, maybe he didn't have to think about it anymore. Yoite turns his attention towards the other, shifting from his seated position of looking out the window to Dhaos.]
no subject
[ He figures he might as well ask, just in case, before they get straight to business. Tonight has been... odd.
Dhaos also makes sure to sit down upon the bed. ]
no subject
I don't want to talk about it right now. [ It's possible he would at a later point, but he was just walking in circles in his mind. Besides, he didn't want to upset Dhaos by reminding him about the trial.]
How was your walk?
no subject
[ Naturally, when Yoite says he doesn't want to talk about it, he moves right along. ]
I'll start off what I discovered alongside Lithuania, Poland, and Inaba. It was Miata's talisman, tossed into the firepit.
Then, we came closer to the chapel where a few others were gathered--including Sans and Papyrus--and it sounded like Katerina as well as Miata were arguing.
no subject
Did you hear what they were saying?
no subject
[ He crosses his arms. ]
Miata was arguing with Katerina about the town. Miata no longer wishes to go along willingly with this production, however, her friend argued that it would put her life in danger.
...
Katerina told Miata she shouldn't be about and about this week of all weeks and that they wouldn't care to spare her if she were. Something about that is the most important of it all, as Katerina said 'eight people was a big if'. She also said she doesn't want to see Miata's face until next Monday...
[ As he is saying this, the gears start to turn in his head, and the thought of 'I have a bad feeling' was an unsaid understatement. ]
no subject
They're no longer going to wait for us to take initiative. [ That's how he interpreted it, anyway.] If they're worried, then the demons are probably involved.
[ He sighs and closes his eyes for a second. Fighting other people was one thing, but demons? Kira likely wouldn't be effective, not if his experience using it on the hakutaku was any indication. It was a really bad situation indeed.]
no subject
[ It's ironic this turned into a whole fiasco with demons. Dhaos is... actually not surprised, actually. Even from the earliest, he assumed they might have been when he had an earlier discussion with Morrigan. ]
no subject
Is there anything we can do about it?
no subject
[ He folds his arms. ]
The most you can do is to make sure you're not strolling outside at unfortunate times or without someone with your person.
Until then, we are going to want to make sure we're prepared to fight as best as we can.
[ Lbr how is this not going to come to blows at some point. ]
no subject
But I don't think many people here could fight them. [ So there's that, and the fact that he somehow managed to form an alliance with one of the only people who probably can at this point.
He tilts his head, thinking.]
I haven't used kira here so...I can fight.
no subject
[ He nods at Yoite's few words, there. ]
Indeed you can. Let us do our best...
[ Pause. ]
By the way, I met a ghost in a certain week, not too long ago. His name's Captain Salvatore Brigante... said he owned a ship, called the Amarissa. You haven't seen a large orange ship, have you?
[ DOUBTS IT. But this is how he can branch into more discussion, he thinks. ]
no subject
[ Honestly, Yoite doesn't know what to think at this point. But it was starting to feel more familiar to the pace he was used to, which might be a good and bad thing.]
We both need to get back.
[He shifts into a more comfortable position, stretching a bit, when Dhaos asks the question.]
I haven't. I haven't seen much on the lake. Did he tell you anything else?
no subject
[ He needs to save his people.
If this weren't a serious conversation, Dhaos would have leaned back onto the bed. But he doesn't, alas, he's just tense and rigid as ever. ]
He did.
The man spoke about 'Loreleans causing trouble out West' and that they were a dictatorship of some kind who 'wanted their own land'. It wasn't independence, however. So I presume it has something to do with the fact that they do not let anyone in the country, or out of it.
I have figured, though... their own warfare may have dragged this town into it at some point-- perhaps as an unintentional side effect of whatever weapons that may have been used in the conflict with the Lorealans and the West. But...I have nothing to prove this theory as of yet.
There was once a visible harbor in the town... likely connected to what appears to be just a 'lake' could lead very well out to the sea.
And I asked the man when he noticed something amiss occurred... which he said to me during that week 'last night while I was repairing the sails but it felt longer than that'. Which also leads me to suspect once again the ghosts are not aware of what happened...
Whatever came and killed the residents certainly did it very suddenly, for sure. Not to mention some memory manipulation may be in play here.
... Ah yes, and he informed myself that the Mayor's house functions as a city hall and gave myself his address.
no subject
Japan was an isolationist nation for a time. [ So he understands that at least.]
Despite what happened, they all tried to keep living normally until they died. Edita was still teaching, even though she said half her students were gone. [ Or they were in very deep denial, but he doesn't think that's the case-- not with Edita anyway.
At the mention of the mayor, he sits up straight.]
We need to find that house. Every ghost and Miata seems to think he's important.
no subject
[ Dhaos is unsure what to think of that. Were his people, who were dying of mana deprivation, trying to do the same? Suddenly... he realizes the situation of this town and his world seems to be heading towards a very similar direction. At least, with every new piece of info he came across.
It was unnerving. ]
We do need to. Then, that is on our schedule for this week. We should do it while it's light out, and still in the middle of the week. We are running out of time and the more information we gather, the better.
no subject
Takao contacted me last week. He tried to make me play basketball. [That about sums up how serious their talk was.]
I didn't expect to hear from him again...but the ghosts are getting stronger. I think it's related to everything that's happening.
no subject
Takao did? Interesting, that... although if that is the only thing he's done-- somehow I am not surprised. He always seemed rather into ... 'activities'.
[ Like playtime, over severity. But, what can be done-- ]
However, what do you mean by getting 'stronger'? Able to manifest and linger longer for speech you mean?
no subject
Charlotte couldn't do a lot of physical things before she vanished. Takao was playing with a basketball the whole time he talked to me.
no subject
[ He passes a brief smile. ]
Having support like that is a little nice, suffice to say.
