[When the feed cuts on, it may not be clear who it is the camera is focused on, because instead of there just being regular old happy Yato, there's a raging god with dark wisps emanating from his entire being along with red sclera glaring angrily as he seethes. When he talks, his voice drips with venom, low and dangerous.]

Raidou's theory is being proven right - Hiyori got sucked into a rift as well. I'm going in after her, damn the consequences.

[Somebody may need to sit on him...]

@greatvalue I KEEP FORGETTING HIS ACTUAL USERNAME

[newphew]

[ time for the baby to sit on him??? ]

There's no guarantee you'd find her even if you jumped in a rift! Don't be reckless. Help us track them down.

WHY DOES THAT SEEM LIKE A hUNTER THING TO DO HAHA

[intertwinedfates]

[Time for everybody to dogpile him!]

If I hurry, I still may be able to get close, at least...! I have to try. I'm no use when it comes to tracking...

he doesn't know what it means

[newphew]

And what if you end up in a completely different location? Or you get so sick with rift poisoning you can't help her?

We'll probably need your power, even if you can't track.

haha...

[intertwinedfates]

Ugh... [He hates that Hunter's right, that the likelihood of him being able to save her by himself is just... probably zilch. It sucks.

And yet, he finds himself laughing, albeit ruefully.]

I'm a hypocrite... I tell others not to act in haste, and what do I do, I want to jump in the nearest damn rift.

[newphew]

[ hunter softens a little bit ]

Look-- I get it. The person most important to you is in danger. Don't beat yourself up about it. Save your energy for helping us get them all back. We'll probably have a fight on our hands.

[intertwinedfates]

[It sucks to have to be scolded and reminded to behave himself in a tough situation, and yet... it's familiar enough that he doesn't lash out instinctively.]

I'll try not to. You're right about it being a waste of energy. I just-- I just wish we could move out to get them, now. I hate sitting around, unable to do a damn thing.

[newphew]

I know. Sitting around sucks.

Where are you?

[intertwinedfates]

At our hotel room. Haven't been able to bring myself to leave in case she were to show up again or another rift appears...

[Not likely, but he can hope, can't he?]

[newphew]

Do you know where Muramasa's forge is?

[intertwinedfates]

Yeah, I've been there once.

[newphew]

Meet me there.

[intertwinedfates]

M'kay.

[He's a bit confused as to why, but he goes all the same, gradually cooling off until there's barely a wisp of darkness emanating from him by the time he arrives. Friends really do help calm a raging god's soul.]

[newphew]

[ fwiendship..... ]

[ when he shows up and presumably gets past the barrier, he'll see hunter with a hammer and some chunks of metal. looks like he's been working here...? ]

Here, help me with this.

[ aka: something productive to do that involves smashing things with a hammer, a great distraction (in hunter's mind) ]

[intertwinedfates]

[It's actually a really thoughtful gesture, even if Yato's still puzzled by what they're doing here. He'll catch on eventually, though. He's just distracted and preoccupied with other thoughts at the moment.]

Huh... Alright, if you say so.

[He comes over and picks up a hammer, choosing a chunk of metal to whale away on, with more force than is probably necessary or expected, give he's a god. Super strength comes with the territory.]

You work here?

[He has to assume, either that or he's being lent the shop to do some side work.]

[newphew]

[ don't call hunter out on being thoughtful, he'll get embarrassed!! anyway, since he has calmed down a little, he doesn't bonk off the barrier, and can enter the forge normally. hunter nods ]

Sort of, I guess. I've been helping out.

[ it's something to do. he'll pull out some metal for yato and hand him a hammer. ]

You fight with a sword, right?

[intertwinedfates]

[No worries there; Yato is used to tsundere types thanks to his shinki, Yukine being of a similar disposition. Good thing about the barrier, too. That would've been seriously annoying.]

Aah. Gotcha. I imagine Muramasa likes having an extra hand.

[Since it's always nice to have company if nothing else. Taking the hammer, Yato seats himself and gets to work, looking like he's done this before.]

Yup! And a bow and arrow. I've fought with all kinds of weapons, but those are the two I currently have here.

[newphew]

Yuta helps out more than me.

[ said like he needs to defend his being here..... but hunter watches him work, looking a little satisfied that yato is officially distracted ]

He made me a knife. He could probably make you another sword, too, if you wanted it.

[intertwinedfates]

Still, I'm sure any assistance is appreciated. It's not easy, creating weapons. I've watched humans do so for ages, refining their techniques and developing new ones to better protect the ones they love.

[He smiles a bit wanly, but doesn't totally allow himself to become morose.]

That wouldn't be such a bad idea. It's good to have a spare just in case something happens to your main weapon.

[newphew]

Right. Well, we need weapons, so... may as well learn how to make them. And you can help, too.

[ like he's doing now. the whole point of bringing yato here was as a distraction from the hiyori situation (tm), so he tries not to allow him to become morose ]

You can ask him. I'll put in a word for you.

[intertwinedfates]

Yeah, that's true. Can't have too many, that's for sure. I can't say mine will be the work of a master, but they should be serviceable.

[He perks up a bit at that with a nod, glad to be of some help.]

Thanks, Hunter. You're a swell guy.
