002 . : Okumura Yukio [VIDEO]

[Yukio’s centered in the feed, having turned the camera on purposely this time. He’s wearing the same black uniform jacket that he arrived in, but there are dark circles forming beneath his eyes that weren’t there a few days ago. Not that he was sleeping terribly well before his arrival in Nesreca (or... ever, really), but the sudden relocation has been exceedingly stressful for him.

He’s smiling, though. Now that he’s had a chance to acclimate it’s time for some more questions, and there’s no reason to be unpleasant about it.]

I’m curious to know just what assets we have to work with in this place. I understand that food and supplies are difficult to come by, so I would appreciate some more information about Credinta, as well as what may be available on this side of the river.

[His expression turns a bit more serious.]

For those of you who have been trapped here longer... Have any of you encountered either Libitina or her master in person?

[That is, indeed, a skull. Now Allen winces, just a minute twinge around his eyes. He'd assumed it's unoccupied, but― If the investigation demands a closer look, he would've gone in too.]

Do you see anything suspicious?

You could try actually looking before you leap. [Enjoying the light brotherly bickering, Allen~?]

Any visible markings or damage to the bone?

Whatever.

[Totally brushing that remark off. He pokes away some more of the dirt, trying not to disturb the skull. It looks mostly in one piece to Rin. He's no expert though and scratches at his head.]

It looks normal...For a skull.

[He's letting it sail past him for the moment! Though Yukio's tone of voice does remind him slightly of himself. He's pretty sure he's said the same thing to Kanda before at some point. It probably ended in a fistfight.]

[ squints at it from where he is, then shakes his head slightly and looks to Yukio ] Do you think we should take a closer look?

[No fist fights here. Not unless Rin does something very, very, very stupid.

Yukio adjust his glasses, giving the skull one last look before shaking his head.] No. That body was probably buried before it happened.

[He offers a hand to Rin.] Come out of there.

[Rin takes Yukio's hand, but uses his own strength to easily push himself out of the hole. He brushes some dirt off of his clothes once he's up.]

So there's no clues here?

[Well, that was mildly disappointing, but not unexpected. Allen steps back from the grave and turns to scan the rest of the area.]

There're still several we can check.

[Yukio stands as well, dusting off his hands.]

We definitely don't need to jump into any more graves. [RIN.]

Fine. You can check next time. Where to teach?

[He stuffs his hands in his pockets and waits.]

[ a slow smile at that exchange and a light: ] Tim can check [ or take a video, really ] for us if we do need a closer look. This way.

[Leading them to an area where most of the open graves were gathered. Work on them appears to have started around the same time, then hastily abandoned.]

[Yukio heads right over to the site as before, no hesitation, stepping lightly around the work.]

... There's nothing particularly strange here. [Vaguely disappoint. :\] Aside from the obvious.

[Rin follows and looks at the graves too. So what if he doesn't know what to look for.]

Guess we'll have ta search somewhere else.

[Neither does Allen! Who is looking quite thoroughly as well. WHAT OF IT.]

[ also sounding vaguely disappointed, but being more upbeat about it: ] Ah, well. We get to leave with the shovels, at the very least. Where should we look next? There's the library we passed by earlier, a hospital, a school, a market, some churches, train stations, and the carnival.

I've been meaning to look over the amusement part since it became inactive again.

It's friggin' weird that it just fell apart again overnight.

It's also the only place in all of Nesreca that has ever done that. [ beat ] Odd of them to do anything nice for us, too.

[He scans the skyline for the Ferris wheel's skeletal outline and frowns.]

Let's go, it's only a short walk from here.

[Following Allen with a serious nod.]

Odd? But not unheard of?

Yeah. Have they before?

[Following along too.]

Odd because it's unheard of. I was half-expecting the whole place to fold in on us the entire time.

[He says it lightly, but his eyes are serious. Took him a good while to even try the food.]

In all my time here, they've never bothered to so much as make sure we survive.

[Leads the way back out of the front gates and beelines for the Ferris wheel.]

[Looking troubled.]

... She really is just playing, then.

[Looks like Rin is having a hard time putting two and two together, but he does.]

If all this is just messin' with us maybe that was too. It's got all of ya confused. That's for sure.

That does seem to be the case. I talked to her before, and at length. [ It was one of the most facepalm-worthy, circular conversations he's ever had. ] She sounded almost like she doesn't know how to do anything else. [ nodding at Rin ] I wouldn't be surprised, but it doesn't explain why it happened in the middle of a play week. She was―[ tone turning wry: ]―already having her fun, so to speak.

The amusement park went active the day after we arrived...

[He frowns some more. Here's hoping that wasn't their fault, unlikely as the possibility is.]

[Rin looks at Allen questioningly.]

What do ya mean play week?

[ waving a hand ] Coincidence, most likely. It wouldn't be the first time someone's shown up right before something happens.

[Though not usually of this... scale.]

Oh― Just those monthly occurences I was telling you two about. [ He rubs the side of his neck sheepishly. ] I can see how it might sound sort of tasteless, but we're not sure what else to call them.
