[Week 19, Day 6 | Video ]

[ Since his return to Kannagara, Kakashi has been remarkably detached. Not just from the events going on in the world, but from the network as well. Once so active on the network, it seemed as though he'd lost most of his interest in the people on it. He hadn't even made a serious single post to the network in the months that he'd been back. But ( Read more... )

[ohohoho the calm and collected Kakashi has reached his limit. Though Break admits the news about so many others falling victim to the fanatics, is quite disturbing. Especially with how people from his world have finally started arriving]

I see the glass is now full for you as well, mister Kakashi. I was wondering who would speak up first. But the news you bring is most disturbing. Do you know how many others have become victims?

[Break switches to business mode entirely. Time for clowning around is not now. This ia a matter of survival for their group]

At present, it's not clear how many have gone missing, been attacked, or murdered. We need to somehow account for everyone and there is no register that we can use as reference.

[ Kakashi is just starting to realize the extent of how disorganized they really are. ]

Judging from the network, it appears that there were at least three deaths, and two or three taken hostage. But there may very well be more that haven't made it to the network.

[ Kakashi is still calm and collected, but there is a kind of force to his words and a sharpness to his gaze that wasn't there before. ]

So at the very least we have six confirmed casualties. Given how our attempt to rescue Lelouch also ended in failure, I think we can expect those other three to end up no differently.

[Heavy words but realistic ones. On the other hand, given that death is not permanent in this place they do have a small advantage.]

[Byakuya understands well. He's not fool enough to turn a blind's eye to the things around him, things that have become his own since his return, not so distant. But that cool, level gaze doesn't reveal any of the things he's bothered by since his return, none of that conflict raging inside his thick skull.]

What would you have me do, Hatake Kakashi? [He isn't making polite conversation, asking how he could possibly help. He already knows. Kakashi wants his sword, or he'd never ask for him. This is a demand to know what Kakashi himself is doing.]

[ Kakashi has no time for games, no time for playful banter like he usually strikes up with this man. His tone is serious, as is his expression. ]

You are a general, Byakuya-san. You have countless years of experience leading teams and carrying out dangerous missions. I have full confidence in your ability as a general and in your power.

[ After all, they were training together once upon a time. ]

It is clear that we have functioned for too long without any kind of organization. I had thought that we could continue on without such a thing. But given recent circumstances, it's become evident that we need to create some kind of centralized system of power. Some kind of force to protect "Other-Worlders" like ourselves.

So. It has become 'war'.

[He's watched the network, perhaps not responded, but watched, carefully, waiting for the moment when everything agreed on one point and he could do something.

It's not so easy when one talks of 'leading teams' and 'carrying out dangerous missions'. He studies Kakashi, his seriousness. He listens to his words, looking for something to pick apart.

But all that he says is true. They do, at the very least, need to protect themselves.]

I will listen. [Not a yes or a no. Byakuya doesn't give those in words.]

I'm not sure what else you want me to say beyond that.

[ Or what Byakuya wants from Kakashi, if anything at all. ]

There's been a war, Byakuya-san. Long before there were even natives here. But that war was more of the divine nature. We just happened to get caught up in it...

[She's still a bit miffed at Kakashi over their initial introduction, but she does have to agree with him here. They do need to organize, or else more people will get hurt. And while she certainly doesn't know all of the Others here, she does feel like she should help protect them. Fortunately, Iskierka can offer that.]

Quite right! And should anyone need to travel, I am happy to offer protection to them. The roads are far safer when I am present.

Has anyone ever tried to attack you?

[ He would think it would make sense that natives would attempt to attack a gigantic dragon, thinking her to be a monster sent from Yomi. ]

Well of course they haven't tried to attack me, they would have to be mad to try that. There have been occasions where I have flown ahead scouting and returned to a caravan being attacked by bandits, but they all run as soon as they see me.

[Of course, her misstep is in assuming that they will never try to attack her, since they haven't yet. It hasn't even crossed her mind that they may just be waiting for a moment when they can successfully take her down.]

You may want to be cautious -- they may attempt to devise some kind of a strategy to bring you down one day.

[ A pause. ]

I don't believe I know your name.

I, um. [He rubs at the back of his neck.]

Have powers. And I think I'm ready to do more with 'em than help newbies out.

What can you do?

Turn into a dragon, and a tiger.

I'm not sure if I can be any help.

[Quietly. She's still involved with the V business, but something is biting her at her ankles, insistently so ever since Elfangor died and consequently revived.]

I'm only out like, half of one full day, you know? But, you know, if you need to get the truth out of someone without being violent about it, I can help? I learned a new vampire trick back home.

Ah, Jessica. It's been a while.

[ He hasn't seen her in some time. ]

I was meaning to ask you... what exactly is the extent of your abilities?

[Private] [Video] in_starvation March 2 2011, 07:22:49 UTC
I guess you can say I'm stronger than your average bodybuilder. I'm pretty fast too, and I got a really good sense on my hearing and smelling. I'm told I'm pretty good at glamoring as well - that's what I was mentioning earlier.
