[It's early afternoon. The journal flies open and turns on abruptly in mid-air, a blast of resonating energy having blown it away from where it had been placed. As it flies, a few flashes of red, white, and black are visible, and when it lands, Asch and Luke are in the distance, swords clashing, the rec center just beyond where they're fighting.

[Yuri just happened to be flipping through his journal, checking for any sign of Estelle, when this goes down. That shout, plus that weird explosion ...

Um.

... What the hell just happened.]

Hey--!

[... Calling out is probably pointless, though -- or at least he seems to think it is. That explosion was ...

... Well. He'll be heading to that crater to check for any sign of them, bringing his journal along with him as a just in case. It really doesn't look good, but something like that happening so suddenly ... There's got to be at least some kind of explanation for it.

Dammit, he may have said that there wasn't much for him to do around Luceti, but that didn't mean kidnappings and explosions and such had to start happening.]

[Yuri's probably already reached the crater by the time Luke gets to responding to him. His voice is quiet and rough, and if Yuri looks, Luke appears to be half on Asch's back and half in the ocean, where the two are soaked and trying to swim to shore.]

We're okay.

[once_knighted]

[---Oh hey, he really did get a response. And he got an answer for the first question he would've asked, too. Good. Sighing now.]

... Good to know. [... Wait, is that the ocean? What--] What the hell happened?

[Voice]

[Now, how to explain this simply? It took Luke forever to actually get what hyperresonance actually was, and he still doesn't really understand it. How do you tell someone who's never heard of it before?]

We, uh... screwed up. [He has to cough a little - that's what happens when you swallow sea water and nearly drown.] With our power.

[Voice]

[once_knighted]

... I see. [... No, no he doesn't. But he's got a feeling he wouldn't understand anyway, especially since it involved teleporting and explosions, so he'll just save himself and Luke a headache by not asking further. For now, anyway.] Well, uh ... Be careful on your way back then, I guess.

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

Thanks, Yuri. It might - [He turns his head away to cough, gdit.] ... take a while. We're... kind of in the middle of the ocean.

[Voice]

[once_knighted]

You're that far out? [ ... ] ... Sheesh. Whatever you two did, I wouldn't do it twice.

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

Y-Yeah. [...] Oh, hey, is there... any damage or anything?

[Voice]

[once_knighted]

[... Theeeere's a pause as Yuri looks back at that crater. Erm.]

... See for yourself.

[With that, he turns his journal to face the damage done. A picture's worth a thousand words, and Yuri is well aware he's bad at describing things sometimes. Might as well take the easy way out.]

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

[There's silence from Luke as he sees just how much damage they did... But at least the rec center is still standing. Luke had thought they might have destroyed that, too. Jeez...]

... At least everyone's okay. [He hopes so, anyway. He hopes with everything he has that no one was near them when the hyperresonance triggered.]

[Voice]

[once_knighted]

Yeah, it looks like this crater is the only damage that was done. [ ... ] ... It'll probably all fix itself in a few days. I wouldn't worry about it.

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

[... That's probably the best thing Luke heard all day. Thanks, Yuri. Luke has to smile and shut his eyes with relief.]

Good... I hope it does.
