@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.]

[Yato would be at least a bit prepared, getting a pack together and making sure he simply wasn't going to starve or die of thirst before accomplishing anything, but yeah, other than that, poking around Iraq for an entrance to Eresh's underworld is the only idea he's got.

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!

[They're very much alike in that regard, but Denji plz, get up to speed so you don't get thrown for a loop when they get there...! They'll likely need to be even more on guard than with a random kaiju if they're facing their friend(s).]

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.

[He's trying...! They both need an outlet for their frustration and nerves.]

'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.]

[Kaga undoubtedly will, it's just a matter of when. If she thinks they're being hasty, she'll probably refuse for their sakes. So he knows they need to make a sound argument.

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.
intertwinedfates: wink grin (171)

[personal profile] intertwinedfates 2025-05-25 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we've both got our heads on straight. [Finally. Clearly it took a bit to get to that point, but hey, what's important is that they are calm and thinking rationally, right? Kaga is certainly... something else, that's for sure. That's partially why Yato's hesitant to try anything that might be misconstrued as wooing her.

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!
