[ hi willaknet! did you miss this ragequitting voice booming through your dinky devices? because oh, she mad. she real mad. ]Look, I don't know if there's been some recent spike in the magical disappearing people act but I think I've had enough. Either there's been some unannounced hide-and-seek game going on or somehow people are getting tickets

[It's easy to use someone to your advantage when they set their pride on being useful. Besides, it's for the "good of the caravan" to share information, making Gau perfect for your purposes--little does he know.]

I don't know! I wasn't here, and Yoite-kun didn't say. I only know one missing person for sure, and that's Rokujo-kun, but he was the shinrabansho weilder, so- [Cuts himself off. Right. This woman wouldn't know. He explains quickly, and flatly:]

It's the ultimate forbidden technique in ninjitsu. There's only one weilder, and it can't be taken out of its host without killing them. It alters reality at the bearer's whim. [a small noise in the background like a pen on paper, a quickly scribbled note.]

Rokujo-kun wouldn't have been taken someplace without the Shinrabansho's consent or submission, and he certainly wouldn't leave Yoite-kun, so whatever takes people takes them against their will, and it has to be very powerful. Like a god, maybe, or something on that level at the least.

[That first part's like a jolt through the heart. He pales. It's exactly what Raikou used to say to him. He's more than unnerved. He almost doesn't hear the second bit.

Two "lightning"s what are the odds...?

No, he's overreacting. Homesick. Stupid. He can't let himself get dragged around by all this remorse and dumbness when there's work to do, and people in danger! He shakes his head to clear it, pumping himself up again.]

Yes! I will!

[and now to find that weird Peck-guy and go through the village for a map after attempting to track down "Nemesis" by junogram and send a message to him.]
