[Video]

 [The video is clicked on early in the morning and Yoko looks rather grim . In her hands are a pair hairpins that look vaguely like Lain's and a hoodie with bunny ears on it. She bites her lower lip and looks away.]

...It seems Lain also has been kidnapped. It had to be last night after we closed the auto shop...

There was a bit of a struggle it seemed when I arrived in the shop this morning and the security system was off. Nothing was stolen other than..Lain.

[Yoko rubs her forehead.]

I'll close shop today if any of the watch or shibusen staff want to stop by and ask questions.

[PRIVATE TO MATT]

Matt, I want a report on what have you been doing.

[there is a small pause] And I want to talk to you about something else, too.


[PRIVATE TO NEAR]

Near. When do you want to go on a mission?

[ The feed clicks on and there's a spectacular view of the city from atop a building. One of the highest in the city in fact. And while it's quite a nice view and all, the placement of a pair of broken glasses into the shot probably ruins the scenic value. ]

It seems Sano-kun is among those missing now, for anyone keeping track.

Kazu-kun, I believe we can stop looking now.

FOURTH BULLET // ACCIDENTAL VIDEO

[wittyreplyhere.livejournal.com]

[So the thing is, Dante and Date have officially partnered up now and Dante was moving his stuff into their new lodgings. While he was dragging his new and shiny jukebox over to there he got jumped by that sand kidnapper thing and during the brief scuffle the communicator is dropped and that is when it turns on.

It's an awkward view, but you can see that something... make that multiple somethings stacked up on one another has hefted Dante over their collective shoulder.]

Hey, what the fuck? Let go of me, asshole!

[And there's some more raging and swearing. But soon Date appears, he heard the noise and came over to investigate. Noticing his partner in trouble he moves in to help and after a brief struggle, Dante is dropped rather unceremoniously onto the ground with a thud. He quickly pulls himself up and transforms into his Weapon form, a rather badass looking claymore and Date grabs the sword and uses Stinger and then follows it up with Million Stab to take care of the rest. Dante transforms back and they both exchange rather cocky grins.]

What took you so long?

I was busy dealing with the last of the arrangements. Got your stuff?

Right there. [Points at the large box] You gonna help?

[Stares at the jukebox for a moment] ...What is that?

A jukebox, duh.

[A notable pause] And what does it do?

Help me bring it back up and I'll show you.

[Decides that that is most likely the best answer he'll get for the moment.] Right. I've got the address earlier - the third building in Death City Heights, unit A on the first floor.

Got it.

[They start hauling it off and then...] Where's your communicator?

[Dante notices it lying on the ground and retrieves it. He smirks into the camera before the feed ends.]

[OOC: Red is Dante, blue is Date. Because, you know, red oni, blue oni]

[[Ninth Call - Voice]]

[der-geliebte.livejournal.com]

Once again, without a partner. But he has not been returned to his world...

...To volunteer to venture into the desert to seek him, unarmed and useless? Or to wait for his return, where I am safe and will not be a burden on the searching party.

The later feels petty... and it's such a cruel thing to do. At the same time, it's the wise thing to do.

What a bitter feeling...

[ Gray's sitting on his couch and fully clothed this time, a stark contrast to how you guys last saw him a few days ago. Also, he's got his serious face on. ]

Hey. So I need some help finding some people. One of 'em is a guy named Mushu. He talks kind of funny and might not be human. Anyone know where to find him? I owe him an ass-kicking.

The other, I don't know his name, but he's got long silver hair and he's an even bigger asshole than the other guy. Anyone know who I'm talking about? Or where he is?

[ He sighs. ] I waited until now to ask because as of today, I'm about a hundred times more likely to kick both their asses. I've got my weapon transformation down, for the most part. Even the partial. Thanks to everyone who's helped me at training these past couple days.

[ Suddenly, a confident smirk as Gray reaches out to turn off the video. ] I'll be ready - hope you guys are, too. I'd rather these fights lasted more than a minute.
