@pochita (video) - May 19
[ the feed starts with denji facing the screen. sweat and blood mix on his dirt-smeared skin, streaks that trail from a hidden injury behind the messy curls on his forehead. for anyone who fought by his side, they will know why he's a gory mess. his expression is hard to place— his brows furrowed, jaw clenched tight, but behind it all, there is something quieter, something ... brittle; tracks of dried tears curve through the grime on his cheeks, barely noticeable beneath the mess, but it's there. at least he's somewhat sober and not too out of control? well, on screen. an hour ago, it was a different story-
-hence why a familiar face is sitting next to him, the one who had to deal with that mess and knock some sense into him. his tone is a bit rough, a bit shaky. ]
... Katsuki's gone. [ god. just saying those words ... ] I tried to grab him before he got pulled in, held on for as long as I could ... but I couldn't save him.
And ... [ he glanced over raidou. ] ... Yuji's gone, too.
[ raidou is similarly streaked with blood in places, thanks to trying to calm his hysterical friend. quite the feat when he was on the brink of a freak out himself. instead, he sits near denji, eyes away, glassy and distant. when denji mentions yuji's name, his eyes finally refocus. his voice is a quiet croak.]
... I'm sorry. My theory was incorrect.
[ that's it. raidou will not be responding to any texts the next few days, try as one might. if you want to talk to him, you'll have to come find him.]

Then there's always the idea of jumping into the rifts after them. A last resort.]
Alright. I know Aventurine is raring to go, so we could ask him if he wants to come along. I tried to stop him before, but... that was before Hiyori and Katsuki got snatched. I'm sick of doing nothing! It's gotten ridiculous!
no subject
I'm not sitting around for this one. I'll admit I have no idea where to fucking go and where to start, if you can lead the way, I promise to do everything I can to help you save Hiyori, too.
[ never really spoke to the girl, but katsuki did mention their romantic relationship at some point (in his usual gruff manner). yato is probably feeling equally terrified and shaken. ]
no subject
Right? Let those with the brains stay seated and think their way through this. We can at least try and locate the entrance. Supposedly it's somewhere in Iraq.
[There's only one liiiittle problem.]
Thanks, Denji. But... how do we get there? LILITH's out of commission, most of the others want to take things slowly. I can teleport, but not across more than the distance of Japan.
no subject
Iraq?? [ his uneducated ass never heard of this place, but that's not the main issue. between all the chaos of bakugou's disappearance, denji forgot about lilith and the transportation ordeal. he breathed out a 'fuck' under his breath as it settled in. wherever this 'iraq' is — they will need to travel. shit.
he frowns a bit, contemplating something. ]
Can we drive there? We can use Katsuki's car ....
no subject
'fraid not. It's on another continent... [He really does sound remorseful at having to rain on Denji's parade. But it's a major hurdle they need to address before they can do anything useful. Maybe...]
We could ask Kaga to borrow one of her aircraft carriers. She might be willing to help. Especially if we say we're just going to look for the entrance.
[Whether they keep to their word upon finding it is another matter entirely, one they can deal with once it comes up.]
no subject
he's clueless about this kaga. not sure what she's like and if she'd be willing to assist or give them a hard time. ]
... Do you think she'd turn us down? [ incoming a mini sexist comment. sorry. ] Let's buy her some flowers. Girls like that ...
no subject
Though Yato has to snort and chuckle a bit at the suggestion of flowers for her.]
Only if we're acting foolishly. So we need to be calm and have a plan. [At least the idea gets a smile from him.] I think she'd prefer a kaiju to kill, but flowers might work. They'll have to come from you, though. Coming from me might send the wrong message.
no subject
... super cute. ]
It seems like you've done something before to make her feel a bit suspicious of you. I'll do it, though. I promised Katsuki that I would do everything I could.
[ on a more serious note- ] Let's try our best.
no subject
Let's just say there's a history there.]
Not exactly suspicious... [Simply that she's got the hots for him and he's trying not to get her hopes up.] Thanks, Denji. I'll help with whatever we need to get her cooperation, be it catching a kaiju or paying her for her help.
[He nods, giving a thumbs up.] Yeah! Let's do this!
