[ The video feed is on and Hoshi is getting ready to leave where she is. ]

I'm going out. Don't wait up for me.

[ And just like that, the feed cuts out just when she dashes out of the door. ]

Just before her thread in the log...

[pidonus]

H-Hoshi?! What's going on?!

[soul_on_light]

Don't have time to explain. Her boyfriend collapsed and she's going to the kabuki theater in Asuka to investigate.

[pidonus]

C-collapsed?! What... What the hell?!

Any details at all. NOW!

[soul_on_light]

As in we don't know what's going on, other than a girl's going around and stealing something from people to make them collapse.

So, Hoshi's going to go help Ryuunosuke while trying to figure this whole mess out. I think Ryuunosuke's friends are also going to help out with this, as well.

[pidonus]

... You're... And she went ALONE?!?!

ARGH, I CAN'T BELIEVE HER, AT A TIME LIKE THIS SHE DOES THE STUPIDEST THING YOU CAN DO!

[soul_on_light]

Whoa. Calm down there. All she's doing is going straight to the kabuki theater to meet with Kabukimon and staying to help out however she can.

You sound like her mom or something.

[pidonus]

No. I'm a friend and I'm not letting her put herself at risk in a clime like this. If you haven't noticed, her boyfriend's no lightweight, whatever this is is serious.

I'm going after her.

[soul_on_light]

Pid?

This is Hoshi we're talking about. You know she'd do anything for those she loves, right?

[pidonus]

She coulda waited and gone with someone for at least a semblance of safety!

I'm off.

[soul_on_light]

Well, you have to give the girl credit here.

Okay. Be safe.
