[Irrational fears and suspicion towards everyone around you is oh so much worse when your dead boss from the past is in the middle of it all. Everything and everyone is twice the enemy, walks through the woods are filled with unseen danger, and he could swear he's been seeing assassins, flashes of Whitespell and Blackspell jackets

Not only seeing things, it seems... You've had a run in of some kind?

[wavesbreaking]

[...Oh the Sphere is on. Sigh]

Yeah, but don't worry, not with anything spooky out there. I got in a fight with a friend.

[vaticanpieninja]

. . .

With more than sharp words, I suppose. How did they fare?

[wavesbreaking]

Ha ha, it kinda. . . accelerated.

He's fine, it's no contest with that guy.

[deathperate]

[Most people would probably think that display of sword skills was awesome. Tsuna, on the other hand, didn't notice it at all. 8| He was too busy shrieking and diving behind a tree to hide from the frog boar, only peeking out when all the noise quieted down.]

Is it--?

[Cuts off, frowning at Yamamoto's posture and tone.]

Yamamoto?

[wavesbreaking]

Ah-

[Gets to his feet]

Sorry, I'll go check to make sure if it's dead or not.

[deathperate]

[Ordinarily he'd tell him to wait; ask what was wrong. But making 100% sure that . . . thing was dead seemed a much more pressing issue at the moment.]

Th-Thanks.

[Heads out in the rain, though his step isn't as quick as it could be - and he doesn't get too close to the boar's body, and has to shake his head sharply before getting closer, kneeling down by it and checking it over.]

[bluewhitecross]

[She probably would have let him be, but the word "Dad" catches her attention. Did he lose his father too? But no, she wouldn't be prying, not now.]

Are you alright?

[wavesbreaking]

[Looks up, and smiles]

Hey there. Yeah, I'm fine. Just thought I saw something.

[bluewhitecross]

Your father, I presume?

[wavesbreaking]

. . . Yeah. Wasn't really him, though.

[teentramp]

[walking past, he's wet and looks tired. And the clothes he's wearing look as if they'd been left in the mud for hours]

[wavesbreaking]

[Spots that, and stands up]

Shigure? Geez, you look terrible.

[teentramp]

[looks up. Forcing himself to smile]

I found my way back! Just like Hansel, and I didn't even need breadcrumbs.

[sounds as if he has a cold]

[wavesbreaking]

Got lost, huh? Come on in here, get yourself dried up for a while.

[minding_mirrors]

[appearing on your sphere, because SOMEONE has decided to not leave the dry sanctuary of his hut. But doesn't look like he's been sleeping much more than you or... anyone else really]

Looks like it's getting worse for everyone.

[wavesbreaking]

[Blinks at the image, then smiles a little]

Aa, looks like. Some people have totally lost control by now.

[minding_mirrors]

[Sighs, like he knew that but didn't really want to hear it anyway]

I've been noticing that. I keep hoping it will reverse like the other effects. If this were permanent, there wouldn't be anything left alive on this planet.

[wavesbreaking]

[Drags a hand through his hair]

Aa, you're right. Unless it's not native to this planet, but I doubt it. It makes me think this is caused by that "harmful substance."
