[a beat.]

Because they were sticking their neck out for us? Why wouldn't I?

[undread]

Yes, but they were the ones with all of the power... They didn't have their magic blocked or any of that. I'm not sure what any of us could do to protect them.

[ablazement]

[okay fair but also she's sad]

I don't need magic to protect someone.

[understandable, she doesn't do normal emotions and is still just bringing uncanny cheerful energy.]

I'm quite sure you don't. You're very strong. But sheer numbers tend to overwhelm all the same.

[she reaches up to rub at her face.]

I would've liked the chance to try. [but she senses this isn't going anywhere, so:] Todomatsu said you found one of them?

[sorry that she is like this.]

I landed right on him. Certainly wasn't expecting that when I woke up today.

Poor dear. He was such a sweet man - what a pity.

[she did actually like him a good deal! she's just weird.]

Making an example of Death doesn't strike me as unusual, but I must wonder why he was killed as well. Very peculiar.

[slowly... figuring her out, here. bit by bit.]

I almost wonder if they all got chased, but Death was the only one who didn't make it out. It'd make sense, if they got in trouble for helping us.

...Yes. Perhaps that's why we can't make contact with the others.

[ablazement]

Yeah. You tried too?

[undread]

Yes, no luck.

[ablazement]

[wrinkles her nose.]

I hope they're alright. [she shakes her hands out, and then:] Gods, I hate not knowing what to do next.

Sometimes all we can do is wait and see what the morning brings. And hope we aren't sitting ducks in the meantime.
