[Celty's been about the woods as well. She's not entirely sure that the feeling that brought her there to begin with was Scotland's ill attempt to summon something, but she's certain that there's something else going on. She's only more convinced by this after being attacked by a couple of monsters on her way back towards the edge.
Trusting her steed to get her back to the city proper, the Black Rider flicks open her watch to see if anyone's mentioned anything. It's a little surprising to see that Conan's nearby, but then what was that?]
(What is that? Is that what I've been sensing..?)
[Well, no time to waste. She spurs her motorcycle onward. The treeline couldn't be far now.]
[It's the echo of the wind rushing past Celty that calls Conan's attention to his watch, tilting it curiously to see the rider and the background of the forest behind her. Conan turns back towards the forest and as he does catches sight of something dark slipping back within the treeline. Conan pauses, his finger on the button to end the feed, listening hard. Imagination? Or is there something there --]

(I don't see it. I'm sure something's there though- familiar, somehow, but at the same time it's not... Oh, what is it??)
[She shakes her head, speeding along. It's only slightly less dark up ahead, signaling how close she's getting to the forest's edge. And then the shadows shift-]
(-eh? What are those??)
[So it hadn't been her imagination, but now she can tell there are a lot more than she'd anticipated. Glowing eyes were on her as she made her approach. Attempting to bar her path? Silently she urged her steed faster. Go.
The subtle skittering between the trees is drowned out by a ghostly whinny, and shortly after the more definite sounds of leaves and twigs being crushed under wheel, Celty's motorcycle bursts out from the trees some several meters from Conan's position. There seems to be extra gobs of blackness attached to the front wheel, little shadowy figures with glowing eyes. They burst into wisps of darkness beneath the motorcycle's weight when it lands, and Celty swings the vehicle around to a halt.]
[Okay, Conan wasn't expecting that. Celty's arrival is always impressive, but the other things -- and he can see them now, clear enough to see that they're there and watching with glowing eyes, if not able to see what they are -- they're a shock.
[While Conan was out by the forest, Xion had been scouting the East District in search of Riku. Something was off about that day though. Something was just strange. Aside from Riku's disappearance. And it was making something in her gut clench tight as she lifted her watch to the sound of his voice- catching sight of something that seemed... but it was out of sight as quickly as it came.
She considered it for a moment while she bit her lip. And then she spoke up, sounding slightly exasperated.]
[Conan lifts the watch but doesn't glance down at it, watching instead the creatures lurking in the forest. It doesn't seem like they'll remain there much longer.]
No luck finding Riku, but -- we found something else.
[No Riku... She couldn't help the sigh that escaped her lips as she brushed her bangs out of her face before her gaze returned to Conan. Now seeming to catch onto his latter statement more with how distracted he seemed to be.]
What... What did you find? [Uneasy. Unsure. What did Temper and his friend do now? Or was it the Interloper?]
. . . Conan? [Hope was going to just mind his own business, but he's leaning in when he sees those eyes. He'll be picking up his boomerang and starting to head out by the time he gets a response.]
They're black --like shadows. They wisp at the edges and don't so much walk as ... slide over the ground. Impact with a sharp weapon make them dissipate like cloud but they don't seem to be afraid of it.

That answers that question.]
Celty-san! Are you all right?

Ne, Jan-san -- I know it's a lot to ask, but can you find Ran-neesan and take her to the clinic?
