Are we ever going to catch a break with the weather? Fog just seems completely unnatural in a place like this. And moreover, this feeling is- er, it's probably best to be... 'careful', today.

It seems like there's been a lot of new people since I last asked, so is there anyone who still needs to know if they're meister or weapon?

Do you know if this city would carry incense anywhere, aru?

Have... you been well, Watanuki?

[closedmarket]

A thunderstorm was possible! A sandstorm is expected! Fog is not.

[judging silence.] ... How long has it been since you and Ling have moved in together, aru?

[encontraran]

Well, yeah, but it's probably more normal to think 'this is strange weather!' than 'this strange weather must have a strange cause!'.

We're only finishing moving everything now, actually. You're coming over?

[closedmarket]

It is not more normal, with weather like this. It is natural to think it has a strange cause.

I will, if you permit it, aru.

[encontraran]

-the cause, can you put a finger on it at all?

Of course! We'll be having lunch soon, as it is. [hint hint] You'll have to forgive how messy it is right now, though.

[closedmarket]

... An unhappy spirit. An unhappy something.

That is fine. You will have time to clean after food. [definitely taking hint.]

[Somewhere in the background on Watanuki's end.]

Does China feel it as well?

[closedmarket]

[immediately latching onto that, because aaaaa his nerves are shot from his superstitious side going haywire.]

Yes! I am glad you have not missed it, Ling, as one misses the elepha- [a beat.] Are you with Watanuki?

[Video now on his own communicator.]

[for_xing]

[Video clicks on to show an emptyish apartment and maybe a Watanuki walking in and out of the picture]

It is quite unnerving, yes?

[Pause.] I am.

[Video.]

[closedmarket]

You should stay inside. Perhaps it will pass yet.

[Video.]

[for_xing]

I have no intention of going outside unless I must.

[Video.]

[closedmarket]

Aa. ... You are in Death Heights now, yes?

[Video.]

[for_xing]

I am, yes.

[Video.]

[closedmarket]

Which room, aru? I will bring incense to share!

[Video.]

[for_xing]

We are in room I on the fifteenth floor!

[Video.]

[closedmarket]

Okay! Thank you, aru.
