[ Now that Ash has exploded there's quite a few more of the Tease flying around in the center of town. Brook will be doing his best to get as many of those that he can before they get too far and harm anyone. They seem to have no interest in sticking around long enough for him to be as successful as he would like with that endeavor though - there's

Everything's fine here, Brook. [A lot more subdued than earlier.] There aren't enough of them up our way to pose a threat. [Not after they wiped out so many earlier in the day.]

[skulljokelol]

There are more of them now, so be careful all the same. Katara-san and I are doing what we can here, but it's not likely that they all stayed within the area.

Do you need a hand? I'm heading down to the southern part of the village in a moment, but I can swing through on my way there.

[skulljokelol]

I think that we have the situation under control. [That would be the sound of ice shattering in the background]

Why are you going out? I know that you're fully capable of protecting yourself, but everyone would be safer indoors. [Can you tell how thrilled he is that people aren't listening to him? It wouldn't be so bad, but Ash's asploded remains are still pretty close by.]

[mikangirl]

Because I'm part of the White Lotus, and Sokka called us in.

[Listening to that shattering sound in the background, and then her voice is actually gentle.]

Unless you'd prefer I went back to hiding again. These things can't touch me, Brook.

[Give him a second - he hasn't had time to check what else is happening over the journals, but last he checked Sokka was still in the square which reminds him that he hasn't been paying attention and - oh nevermind, things are still cool.]

No. If you can help then you should, and there's little than I can do to stop you in any case.

[She got back to you late, that's all. >.>]

All right. I'll talk to you soon. Don't let them set up a nesting ground in your ribs, Brook.

[She's mostly kidding on that one. Mostly.]

[Filter]

[skulljokelol]

Don't- [Yeah, that makes his stomach turn over, even if he doesn't have one. But it's all right, because now he doesn't sound like he's snapping anymore.] I'd be more worried about yours.

[Spotted: one change in demeanour. That gives her pause for a moment, remembering what she saw earlier.]

Brook? ...Are you all right?

[Filter]

[skulljokelol]

Have you heard about it? Allen-san said that there were two others...

[Filter]

[mikangirl]

...I heard one. Who else.

[Filter]

[skulljokelol]

Ash-san. That's where the new swarm of them came from.

[Filter]

[mikangirl]

[Ash...?]

H-huh.

[...pausing as she martials a semi-steady voice to ask the important question.]

Does Allen know why?

[Filter]

[skulljokelol]

From the way he desrcibed it, it sounded as if that is how they breed. I didn't ask him specifically, however.

But he did say that it can't happen unless they get inside of you.

[mikangirl]

[How does that even work? They're too big. Unless they got swallowed or something...fff. Why would anyone even do that? Ignore that alt over there]

...just be careful, Brook. [Maybe being nothing but bone protects you. Or maybe they can find a way to breed inside you anyway. You can still eat and drink and cry just fine, after all.]

[Naturally, that's the last thing he's thinking about right now. Something about an alt having eaten a butterfly...] I will. Please do the same, Nami-san.
