[The sound is a bit... grainy, as if the microphone of the gear is being covered to muffle the recording somehow. What can be heard are the sounds of night in Johto: crying Hoothoots and Woopers and other nocturnal Pokemon, though all of this is far in the distance, suggesting that whoever is recording isn't anywhere near them right now.

[ Asuka actually hasn't slept yet, but she did notice Mitsuru's absence, opting to give her some time before she gets to her feet to find her. ]

... Mitsuru?

[action]

[bufudyned]

[Mitsuru's a bit too lost in her own thoughts to really notice anyone approaching her, so much like Hayate, Asuka's voice takes her by surprise, and it's evident in the way she jumps as the blonde approaches]

Ah-- Tenjoin. What are you doing out here this late at night?

[action]

[primaduelerina]

I was usually up this late studying English, so my sleeping habits haven't returned to normal yet. [ she offers Mitsuru a polite albeit concerned smile. ] I was about to ask you the same question.

[Mitsuru flips her gear closed and pockets it, turning to face Asuka fully as she relaxes]

I had some trouble sleeping, that's all. I'll be all right.

[primaduelerina]

It looks like you're not the only one tonight.

[action]

[bufudyned]

--? Are you having trouble as well?

[action]

[primaduelerina]

It's just some uneasiness, that's all. But, going from the network, there are more people up at this time than I would have thought.

[action]

[bufudyned]

I hadn't checked the network. How strange... [her 'something is wrong' sense are tingling]

[primaduelerina]

The fog may be causing some problems. But that shouldn't be causing anything worse than visibility issues.

[action]

[bufudyned]

Perhaps it's making people uneasy? I've been in Johto for a few months now, and I can't recall an instance where it was this thick before.

[action]

[primaduelerina]

I don't remember that, either, but the fog itself shouldn't be dangerous.

[action]

[bufudyned]

You're right, it shouldn't. Though that doesn't mean people won't worry about it anyway.

[action]

[primaduelerina]

Well, there isn't much we can do about it, except reassure everyone nearby.

[action]

[bufudyned]

Is anyone else in our traveling party feeling uneasy?

[action]

[primaduelerina]

If Hayate-kun is, he hasn't shown it, and I'm pretty certain the others are sleeping.

[action]

[bufudyned]

Good. Hopefully, by tomorrow morning, the fog will have cleared, and traveling will be much simpler.
