[After nearly two days of hiding out in the corners of Ilex Forest and keeping a close eye on the gear network, it doesn't take a genius to figure out something is... well.

Really, really off.A few people had mentioned hallucinations and nightmares, and now he's beginning to question whether the enemies he happened to see on the morning of the

-- Kaito!! [ have a relieved-sounding Kay who is simultaneously strained and worn out, but-- HE'S THERE. ] Where are you? I couldn't find you, and Johan thought I was someone else, and Crow thought I was dead--

K-- [THANK GOODNESS HE RECOGNIZES THE VOICE and not as one belonging to an enemy either]

-- Kay! Are you all right?

[yattagarasu]

I've been better, but I've been worse, so I'm... medium right now?

[... that makes him laugh, though it's weak.But a laugh is still a laugh.

The amusement disappears from his voice pretty quickly, though]

Kay, I've gotta ask you something really important. I think I probably know the answer already, but I have to make sure.

[yattagarasu]

... Go ahead.

When you woke up yesterday morning, did you see a guy in a black hat, a brown coat, and a mustache anywhere near our group?

[voice]

[yattagarasu]

[ it's not even a split second before she replies. ] No. I didn't even get that much sleep the night before, so I was awake by then. I didn't see anyone other than the group.

[he doesn't even try to mask his relief]

Guess it was just me-- Where are you?

[voice]

[yattagarasu]

Still in the forest. Do you want me to have Sweetie find you?

[voice]

[bakaitoukid]

I'll send out Scamp to help. Maybe they'll meet in the middle.

-- are Johan and Crow okay? [since she had said they were hallucinating earlier]

[voice]

[yattagarasu]

They're fine. [ she's been keeping Sweetie out, so there's just a few murmurs and an affirming "Gengar!" before he sets off. ] As well as they can be, anyway. I just had to talk them out of what they were thinking.

[bakaitoukid]

[there's the sound of a pokeball opening on his end, and then an echoing "Gengar!" from Scamp as she disappears into the mist]

So they're okay? [he sounds a bit relieved about that, too]

[voice]

[yattagarasu]

Would I have let them not be? They're not allowed to play the "older than me" card ever again after this!

[voice]

[bakaitoukid]

What about Konata and Tsukasa?

[voice]

[yattagarasu]

... I don't know. I kind of lost them, too.
