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?

[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.

Seems fairly appropriate considering who we're talking about.

What sorta stuff did she do this month?

Ah, did you miss it? There were messages on our walls that nobody else could see. [ beat ] They weren't very friendly.

[Yukio remains quiet, eyes focused forward on their destination. He definitely noticed the messages.]

[Rin wasn't paying very good attention to that. It would have required reading when so many other things were going on.]

Oh, that. Like I care what some wall says.

[Smiles at that, even though it looks kind of tired, like he had to wring himself a little harder than usual to get it out. His messages have been troubling, but not nearly as much as the way some of his friends reacted to theirs. Allen's just glad Lenalee slept through most of it.]

It was a bit of a dud, wasn't it? Suppose she's forgotten people can often be more resilient than expected.

[He wouldn't be surprised if Libitina did forget after a hundred years of being an undead spirit. It's... Sad.]

Ah, here we are. [ Upnods at the amusement park entrance, then just stops and stares. ] ...I don't think it was this run-down even before the change.

[Yukio does as he did before with the graveyard gates, examining the primary gate carefully and sweeping a critical eye on any surrounding fencing.]

... No traces of circles or seals. It's possible that whatever they did just took that much of a toll.

[Rin walks through the gate with Blacky when Yukio seems to be mostly done with his investigation. It's disappointing that the place is ruined again even if it was a little weird before. He wanders towards the nearest structure, examining it carefully. It just looks like it got ruined to him.]

There anything specific we should be checkin' for here?

[Allen follows Rin through the gate once Yukio's done examining the entrance. He murmurs something to Tim, and the golem peels off from their little group to circle high overhead, presumably checking out the taller rides since many of them look too unstable to risk climbing. At Rin's question, Allen also glances to Yukio for directions, though his attention is mostly focused on a large scratch mark marring the base of a ride nearby.]

[ with a note of apprehension: ] I'm not sure 'toll' is the right word for it.

Again, any odd markings or scra- [Yukio cuts off when he glances over at Allen, catching sight of the scratch that's holding the other exorcist's attention.]

... Or that. [Alrighty, time to get a better look at that.] This wasn't here before?

[Rin walks over to look at the scratch.]

That's a big mark. Wonder what made it?
