[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...]

That's how it happened with Tsurumaru.

( Metal fingers drill against the tabletop, a nervous habit. ) I was the one who saw it happen. It just appeared. I tried to catch him but it was over in seconds. I know how quick it happened, Yato. I know there wasn't enough of a chance. I guess for now all any of us can do is try to prepare ourselves. If it's taking people randomly we need to figure out a pattern. Or better arm everyone so we might be able to get info back.

I wonder if anything like this has happened before we both got here. Like people being pulled through them. Maybe we should ask around?

[intertwinedfates]

It's impossible to anticipate and fight against. Fucking sucks.

[For a while, he just watches Vash's fingers, his own twitching faintly.] There must be some rhyme or reason to it, but what...? Not a bad idea about getting everyone to carry transmitters or something, though. Sure as shit can't hurt.

...dunno. That's a better plan than sitting around waiting for more people to disappear. I'd say we go to LILITH first, except they're all but useless right now. Not sure where to start outside of that. Asking random people on the street doesn't seem like it'd turn up much.

[photosympathies]

No, but there's people who have been here longer than us, right? The Outsiders. So we could maybe try and find out from them. And transmitters, we could see if we have any legitimate engineers around, see if they can't amp up the power.

( Vash could try. His radio earring can only go so far, but if he tinkered a bit more? )

[intertwinedfates]

Ahh, that's true. [He perks up a bit, letting his hand drop into his lap.] Some of them have been here over a year. I think Katsuki is among them.

[Little does he know that Bakugo's disappearing soon, too...]

Yeah...! Even if all we get back is slightly more info, that's better than nothing. It's worth a shot, anyway.

[photosympathies]

Okay, so we don't panic and we find Bakuboom to ask him some questions. Is that a plan? I think it's a plan.

( Anything to keep Yato on the straight and narrow of not falling apart. )

[intertwinedfates]

Sounds like a plan to me. It's a start, at least. Even if he doesn't know anything, that's more info that might help us somehow, right?

[Trying to stay positive...! Even if he feels like raging and crying at the same time.]

[photosympathies]

I'm here for you, Yato. I know things feel scary right now, but we will get her back. Just stick with me for now, yeah?

( He has so many people he needs to handcuff to himself. )

[intertwinedfates]

Scary, huh... Yeah, it really does. Thanks, Vash. Truly. You don't know how much I need a guide right now, heh.

[Clearly they need to form a handcuff daisy chain!]

[photosympathies]

( Rift not big enough to carry them all. )

Well, I'm here. I'm gonna be here. And I will help you get her back, I promise you that. We just need to be smart with it.

[intertwinedfates]

[Maybe that's one way to reach inside??]

Heh... Normally I'm a lot more calm and collected about these sorts of things, but ever since me and Hiyori got engaged, I've been scared of losing her for good... Even though I know it's dumb to worry and fret over it.

[photosympathies]

It isn't dumb!

( That much he's sure of, frantic with it. )

If it were someone I loved like that I'd be the same. And then I know you'd be the one to talk me down about it. That's what friends do.

[intertwinedfates]

You think so...?

[It gets a sigh from him that's relieved and yet exasperated at himself.]

Heh, yeah, you're right about that. I'd be here for you just the same if you needed me. Hopefully it's something you won't have to go through, though.

[photosympathies]

( He huffs out a laugh. )

I guess I should feel lucky I'm so bad at romance. Okay, so. We just need to keep going. We have a plan. We can talk to the science guys. We can figure out working on a signal. We'll manage.

[intertwinedfates]

Aw, who says you're bad at it? [He gently nudges Vash with a hand, nodding.] Right... We'll get there and save everybody. We always do, right?

[Except... they didn't in Brasov. There were casualties. Poor Wriothesley...]

[photosympathies]

We're going to. And then we're gonna take like a month long nap. Those are the plans.

( A wise nod. Listen to your buddy. )

[intertwinedfates]

Ugh, that sounds great at this point... Just one great big cuddle pile with snacks and drinks.

[He has faith in you, Vash...!]
