[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...]

[soft_shelled]

Yeah, although I get the feeling in your case she didn't choose to do it? [STILL BITTER ABOUT IT.]

And don't think of it that way, because that is like... How would my baby brother put it? It will make it manifest.

[intertwinedfates]

No, why would she? [He sounds curious but is trying to be polite and not pry too much.]

...you think my thoughts could actually make it happen? Maybe that's why I'm always bad luck to her...

[soft_shelled]

Because it would serve a larger purpose, apparently.

Not really, but it's like. A thing, that some people believe.

[intertwinedfates]

No, this definitely isn't a case of that.

Heh... I'm about to believe that myself, honestly. It seems like every time we start to settle down, something bad happens. Makes me wonder if my nature just keeps catching up with us.

[soft_shelled]

Yeah, I thought so.

It's probably not that though, at best it's just chaos theory rearing its ugly head.

[intertwinedfates]

[He sighs again, scrubbing a hand through his hair.]

Either way, I'm getting real sick of it. I'm half tempted to give Hiyori a wide berth once we get her back, just in case I more bad shit goes on. Maybe then if life decides to target me, she won't be caught in the crossfire.

[soft_shelled]

[Flatly;]

That's dumb, you're being dumb.

[intertwinedfates]

[Wow, way to call him out.]

You really think so? I'm just going off previous experiences.

[soft_shelled]

Yeah, I think so. I don't know you guys all that well but... She'll probably want to be around someone she cares about once you get her back. So you purposefully avoiding her is not a good thing?

[He's just going off he's own experience with Leo though. Maybe it's different when it's boyfriend/girlfriend stuff.]

[intertwinedfates]

...yeah, that's probably true. Last time she was so happy to wake up and find me there by her side... But.. I just want her to be safe. Even if it means us being apart.

[It's hard to separate these occurrences from all the bad things that happened back home, honestly.]

[soft_shelled]

Yeah well... Sometimes being safe isn't what someone wants.

[Wow, that doesn't sound to great but he's said it so it's out there.]

[intertwinedfates]

Heh. I suppose not. Sometimes love makes us do stupid things, anyway, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised by that, either.

[It makes sense in a way? And would explain why Hiyori insists on staying by his side despite everything.]

[soft_shelled]

Goodness yes. Love does make you dumb, and hey at least you have someone who still likes you no matter what dumb thing you do?

[Ah, now this is making Donnie think about his own love life. Gross.]

[intertwinedfates]

Boy, you aren't kidding there. I've done plenty of dumb things both here and back home. That's why... that's why I gotta get her back no matter what. Because she has faith in me. I can't let her down.

[It's why he was so determined to go slinging himself into a rift at the first opportunity.]

[soft_shelled]

Yeah, so do what you can to help out here. Not throw yourself blindly into a rift.

If you can't help with the search, you could always help out with the sick LILITH staff? It means the folks who are good at the searching stuff don't have to worry about that.

[intertwinedfates]

Ahh, good point. I tend to get so blinded by what I can't do that I forget there's plenty that I can.

I'm not the best when it comes to dealing with sick people, but I can always follow instructions and help those who have better medical knowledge. I'm sure they'll need those to cook and clean up, too. Or to take shifts while they rest.

[soft_shelled]

[Ah yes, the human nature to focus on the negative. Not that Donnie is that emotionally mature to know to say that.]

Yeah, see? That's way better than doing something dumb and reckless.

[intertwinedfates]

[Ironic given that Yato isn't human, although he has spent most of his life around them, so maybe that'd explain it.]

I suppose so. Though I'm sure I won't stop being anxious and antsy until we actually set out to rescue them.

[soft_shelled]

[Perhaps, perhaps.]

I mean, yeah? It would probably be a bad sign if you weren't antsy.

[intertwinedfates]

True. Right now though I feel sick to my stomach... And like I want to bang my head against a wall for how frustrated I am.

[soft_shelled]

Yeah well... The sick stomach thing will pass, and don't go about slamming your head into a wall.

The wall might lose.

[intertwinedfates]

Heh, you're probably right about that. I've got one hell of a hard head according to my friends.

[soft_shelled]

I usually am... Right about stuff.

Not this kind of stuff, but you know.

[intertwinedfates]

Oh~? One of those smart types, huh?

[He might be teasing just a bit.]

[soft_shelled]

The smartest, actually.

[Dead. Fucking. Serious.]
