[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.

Don't be an idiot.

[That's it.]

[intertwinedfates]

Most people think I'm an idiot anyway, might as well prove them right one more time. It'd be worth it.

[That's his Idiot Logic, yup.]

[A stern faced blonde appears, peering into the feed. She sounds pretty firm in her words for someone that's never interacted with him before.]

"Damn the consequences" is the last thing we need right now. People are working on solutions, and while they're not fast enough for any of our tastes, progress is being made. If you jump in there, that's one less body to help with rescue efforts.

[intertwinedfates]

[The good thing is that firmness is usually what it takes to get through to Yato, so despite not being familiar with the woman, he finds himself sitting down on the edge of his bed with a resigned growl.]

I hate it when you people are right... But we've been at this for a while now! We gotta do something! We can't just keep letting people be taken...! Hiyori's been through this once before I can't stand the thought of her having to deal with being kidnapped a second time here!

[soft_shelled]

No. Prove them wrong, also do you really think Hiyori would want you going off half-cocked?

[intertwinedfates]

[Uuuugh... His weakness: doing what Hiyori would want. Donnie knows how to press his buttons.]

No... She wouldn't. She'd want me to slow down and think and not act hastily.

@kuzunoha14

[the_fourteenth]

Please, don't, I know that-- Look, we'd only end up having to rescue you too. Your station does not guarantee your safety in a rift.

[Ereshkigal is a god too, and things don't seem to be going well for her.

A bit hypocritical of Raidou though, who in a day or two will be as similarly ready to jump in as Yato is now.]

We are working on ways of getting to them. I'm sorry we couldn't do it in time to prevent Hiyori from being taken.

[intertwinedfates]

Raidou... [His voice is strained, wispy from his outrage, but still full of emotion.]

I know. I don't want to just become somebody else for everyone to save, but damn it all, I was right there with her and I couldn't do a damn thing! I feel like I owe her for failing to save her...

[If it weren't for Eresh seemingly not faring well either, he probably would've headed for the Mt. Fuji rift without consulting everyone first. But all this started with her; who knows what might happen if he leaps in?]

No, it's not your guys' fault. It's mine for not protecting her, yet again. I'm so damn useless... Worthless.

[soft_shelled]

[He barely knows you two and yet!]

Yeah, so how about doing that instead?

[intertwinedfates]

[An open book, this one.]

It's just so damn infuriating, y'know? To have her snatched out of my grasp and being unable to stop it. I swore after the last time it happened that I'd protect her, and yet... I was useless again.

[soft_shelled]

... Yeah I know that feeling. I had it happen to my brother back home, we got him back, but still. It's horrible and shitty and we've gotta do what we can do here and not go jumping into rifts willy nilly.

[intertwinedfates]

You too, huh? ...maybe it's just me being a worrywart, but every time something happens to her, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get her back. That our luck will run out.

[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...

[lionize]

[Her lips press together, eyes softening in a show of understanding.]

I'm pretty sure none of us like it either. If we knew for sure that jumping through a rift would get them back, I'd be right there with the rest of you.

But it's being narrowed down. We have a region, and a weird place. We just need to find an entrance.

[soft_shelled]

Because it would serve a larger purpose, apparently.

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

[intertwinedfates]

[Gradually, he lets out a long sigh, finally calming down.]

No, I'm sure nobody does. It's just never easy when it's somebody close to us. When things get personal.

We've made that much progress, though, huh...? That's something, at least. I don't think I could've stood it if we didn't have a clue still. I'm no good at just sitting and waiting.

[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.

[lionize]

No, it isn't. I'm not as close to anyone who's gone as you clearly are, but I get it.

Look, I can't say I know how you can help, but you can figure that out. Just get some rest and eat something before diving in head first like I imagine you want to. We can't put our all into something without taking care of the basics.
