Hey, you alright over there? Town's kind of crazy right now. Don't know if you know what's going on or not.

Hmm? I'm perfectly fine; although the neighbor boy doesn't seem to be. He filled me in on what's going on.

A man eating livers, eh?

[contending]

Good. We don't need anyone else disappearing on us. Bastard picked on a bunch of kids, that scumbag. What's going on with your neighbor?

Looks like it. He's got an ally of mine kidnapped. Can't sense him anywhere, though, or else I would've found them all already.

[ceannairceach]

This concerns me and I really doubt this is something I've dealt with before.

As for sensing, I can't ensure anything at the moment. Evidently, his brother was the one who had the liver eaten. I'm going to help find him.

[contending]

I don't think anyone has. We're all swimming in the dark here. Whatever this thing is that took them, he's stronger and he's suppressing whatever reiat--life force signs they're supposed to be giving off.

Fuck. [He doesn't say it out of anger, more out of sympathy, although the gruff tone of his voice never leaves.] Need any backup?

[ceannairceach]

I figured as much. Although one of the boy's he's taken definitely has some sort of aura that I might be able to trace. It's worth a try.

If I do, I'll let you know. I'll even let go of some of my yoki.

[contending]

Alright, good luck. Keep safe.

[ceannairceach]

You, too, Kensei. Don't let them run wild too much.

[contending]

And let them tear up the damn place? Not on my watch.

[ceannairceach]

I knew I could count on you.
