@kuzunoha14 - Forward-dated to 05/14

For those who do not know, several Outsiders have vanished into rifts. The first was Ereshkigal, during the kaiju battle in Egypt. As far as I know, no contact has been established.

Since then, three other Outsiders have also vanished: Ratio, Godzilla, Tsurumaru. I have been investigating but coming up mostly short.

There were no witnesses for Ratio's disappearance, but Nyuu and Hayakawa have confirmed that a rift opened and took both Godzilla and Tsurumaru. Only they were taken, despite not being alone at the time.

I may have a clue as to who is next.

I do not wish to cause panic or alarm, and I am not sure what can be done to prevent anyone else from being taken. I will bring these findings to LILITH as well.

During the mission in Egypt, we were inserted into the dreams and memories of other Outsiders. I saw one of Ereshkigal's. In this memory, she was speaking with several other Outsiders. Seven to be exact. Among them were Ratio, Godzilla, and Tsurumaru.

The other four were Yzak, Hiyori, Kabru, and Silco.

Kabru is already gone, though his name is gone from the network, a glitch. Those taken by the rifts are still listed, but unable to be contacted.

I would encourage those others in then memory to not be alone until this is solved.

If you have any other information you would like to document in this post, please do. We need to share what we can in order to get to the bottom of this. I pray you all stay safe.

[OOC: Raidou's theory on this player plot might be shot very quickly, but he doesn't know that. Go wild with the speculation in the meanwhile!]

something I'm sure she'll be apologizing for forever once we get her back and snap her out of it

[Honestly, he doesn't think it's fair to Eresh or Katsuki to be blamed for having bad things happen to them. Life shits on you sometimes.]

I know, I know. I just still feel guilty over it

tch, if she's really the one behind the virus, she's likely behind the fucking kidnapping too.

[It's not fair, but that is how a lot of Japanese operate. Life shit on them, but they were too weak or ill-prepared to handle it or keep it contained, so GOMEN!!]

no shit. we all do.

we have to find twintails and stop her before she destroys something.

yeah, that seems a reasonable theory. definitely gonna have to scold her for that part, at least, even if she's just doing it to alleviate her loneliness

[It's a sad mindset to have, but yeah, it's an unfortunately common one.]

hah, true

I'm sure we'll manage it somehow, one way or another. we've got enough talented folks on our side

loneliness?! what, this shit corrupted her wanting friends into kidnapping people?!

[Fitting, but lame! She needs to get out and make some friends if she's that damn lonely normally!]

no one's getting the kill this time. unless it's on the bastard controlling her.

[If there is one...]

that seems like a likely theory knowing Eresh. she might be collecting people to keep her company

[Or maybe it's people she has strong feelings towards? He's not sure of her exact relationship with all the kidnapped people, but...]

yeah, definitely not. I won't let anyone kill her, even if she's just gone out of control with no kaiju involved. we can subdue her, if necessary

she's gonna get a shitload more company whenever she shows her face again!

[Violent company at that. But how do they stop her from yanking away more Outsiders, is the question.]

if she's bringing them to her, odds are we'll see them again. probably won't be on our side.

[Shit. A repeat of Vegas. Outsider vs Outsider.]

as long as she's willing to go down without dying.

I already told Tez that maybe we should love and friendship her into submission, heh

[He knows damn well that's not what Katsuki means, but he's trying to keep things sorta light.]

you think she might brainwash them?

[That's something he hadn't considered...]

she will, I'm sure of it. even with her strength, there's enough of us that we should be able to overpower her. ...and anyone else on her side

slam her in the head and take her out in one go! you guys can do that sappy shit after she wakes up contained.

[And he proves that instantly. Even if they both know he'd never kill an enemy. Kaiju being exceptions.]

probably. what kind of kidnapped person doesn't rebel?

[Almost all of them were aggressive at the start.]

any damn extra who knows her skill and habits should pass them out so people can train against her.

heh, sounds fair. better to get her under control first before trying that love and peace stuff

[It's kind of a 'kill or be killed' deal with the kaiju, so hopefully it won't come to that with Ereshkigal.]

hmm point. unless they're trying to befriend their kidnapper, but somehow I doubt that'd be the case here

I know a little bit about Eresh's skills from fighting alongside her, so I'll advise everybody on them so they won't be taken by surprise. she has a huge skeleton form that's like super powerful. that's probably what we'll have to watch out for most of all

you don't even know if she's able to be reasoned with.

[She might not be in the talking mood or even see them as people to communicate with. If she's gone full egotistical goddess bullshit. Could be just as hard a kaiju fight.]

if she's not thinking straight, assume no one she takes to her side is going to either.

where's the skeleton's weakpoint?

I know. but I have to at least try before we go all in with using force against her

[He's already got a feeling it'll come to that, but he's trying to remain hopeful, at least for the time being.]

that stands to reason. I doubt she'd hang on to a bunch of unruly people, since that'd take a lot of energy to restrain them

that I'm not sure of, but I know usually she has a limit to the time she can maintain that form, so the faster we can wear her out, the better of we'll probably be

just don't get yourself hurt trying to talk to a rampaging bitch.

[They're dangerous enough in the normal world with normal size and make. Now a potentially giant goddess one.]

most of the outsiders taken have boyfriends or girlfriends. she's gonna get her ass handed to her for that.

so blast her until she goes down.

yeah, I'll be sure to play it safe. I'm not much good if she squishes me into a pancake, huh?

[He does not want to end up a smear on the sole of Eresh's skeletal foot, thanks!!]

it makes me wonder if Raidou's theory is right and they're being targeted based on Eresh's memories

that's the general idea, yeah. overpower her and restrain her until we can do enough damage that she can't maintain that form anymore

i'll roll you up and stuff you in your shrine like a magazine.

[Such a caring friend you get here, Yato.]

three out of seven already happened. they were all in those memories. it sounds like a set theory.

go for her head or her heart. if she's the core of that form, we have to punch through it and aim for the weakspot.

hah! don't worry, I'll do the same for you if you get flattened. tuck you into my back pocket

[Two can play at that game!]

yeah, which makes me all the more nervous, honestly...

I'll stick with her head. that should be a little harder, given how damn stubborn she is. might knock some sense into her, too

I DON'T GET FLATTENED, DAMMIT!!

[Guess who doesn't play nice with the other kids.]

we know who those extras are. they need to be alert and not get grabbed. we should be on alert whenever they're around and be ready to intercept the attempt.

knock her out before trying to reason with her.

you know that only makes me wanna try it. Crepetsuki

[Oh, he can guess...]

I doubt it's as simple as "don't get snatched" but it's worth a shot anyway

you got it. safety first when it comes to battling with a goddess

urusei, Dorayato!

[Back to their usual brand of bickering.]

we know who's most likely to get grabbed! they need to be as alert as we are! if a rift opens, you've got a window to react!

that's should be in mind most fights, Bakami...

Dorayato?! that's just mean!

[Such children.]

what if it sucks em in, tho? these things are deliberately targeting people - we can't expect them to not appear right in front of those they're aiming for

well, sometimes you wanna put offense first, yeah? depends on the situation

don't start something you can't take.

[This is how they operate.]

then grab them from behind and haul their asses back! we're watching out for them as well, dammit!

learn how to do defense and offense at the same time, Bakami.

mine was cute at least

[It builds camaraderie.]

okay! okay! I'm just saying you gotta have quick reflexes and be on guard all the time. it's gonna be like those couple of weeks without sleep in the desert

I can do both, thank you!

it was a damn crepe!

[They both used flat dough treats! Not gonna mention cute.]

che. some people went without sleep. the rest of us traded off on less sleep. dunno how you insomniacs were able to fight that shitty mummy cat.

then don't whine like you can't!

cuz they're trendy and popular!

[It was a weird compliment in a way!]

by going beyond exhaustion to sheer delirium, if I'm being honest

I wasn't whining! [He was.]

IT'S THE SAME DAMN THING!!

[Well, French versus Japanese. Thin pancake with sweet filling versus thick pancake with bean filling.]

who the hell wants a delirious ally in a fight?!

you were.

I'm gonna nom on you next time then, Crepetsuki!

[He just might for kicks, honestly. Better watch out, Bakugo.]

hey, it worked, didn't it?

was not

[So childish...]
