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 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?

[ shaking his head ] It was in shambles, but not damaged like this. [ he joins the brothers at the ride, exchanging a blank look with Rin in the process. nope, no idea what made it. ] Does this look like something you could be familiar with?

[Running his finger down the length of the scratch.]

... No chemical traces left behind. Fairly solid, as if from a claw.

[Sigh.] I can't say what made this with just this damage left behind. Almost any demon could've managed it.

You think there are more of them? [Rin looks up at the ride to see if he can spot any higher up.]

So it's possible something other than Libitina and her master could've done this?

[Takes a few steps back and turns slightly so he's standing with his back half-facing the brothers, wary grey eyes scanning the area. Since there isn't much he can contribute to the investigation, Allen figures he's more useful this way ― whatever made those marks, there's no guarantee it isn't still hanging around.]

[ in reply to Rin: ] I'm seeing more. [ he pauses, pointing out a few scratch marks scattered here and there ] Whatever it is, it seems to have gone through the entire place.

This definitely isn't the work of a ghost. [But Yukio's already informed Allen of his opinion concerning the popular belief of Libby and co. being ghosts.]

... We should explore deeper.

[Rin starts walking further into the park, adjusting the strap of his sword bag over his shoulder. If whatever did that is sticking around he might need it.]

What if it's something else working under Libitina's influence? She seems to have some power over the dead.

[Starts after Rin, glancing at his sword bag. Having seen Kanda's before, it doesn't take much to guess what's inside.]

[Yukio's tempted to draw one of his weapons, but he resists the urge. Keeps both hands hovering at the ready when he's not stopping to examine more scratches, though.]

It's possible. Have you ever seen anything else here acting as such aside from the ghosts?

[Rin turns back towards Allen looking curious.]

Has she ever made zombies?

Oh, I didn't see it so much as hear ab―

[TURNING TO RIN SO FAST THAT HAD TO HAVE GIVEN HIM WHIPLASH.]

―Did someone tell you about it too?

[He sounds unduly traumatised for someone who supposedly wasn't present for Nesreca L4D.]

[That... was an interesting reaction.]

... There were zombies here?

Really?! Friggin' zombies?!

Really.

[Emphatically, but with barely a fraction of Rin's energy. In fact, Allen appears to be. Wilting.]

It was... [ a vague wave meant to denote the passing of time, though it's coming across like he's trying to ward off some unseen horror ] ...some time ago, before I got here. Someone I know said the city was overrun with them for a week.

[At least Allen managed to avoid it by a mere few days, Kanda. Haha.]

... I doubt there are any here just now, if that helps. [Because really, Allen, you're looking positively ill.]

[Rin raises an eyebrow at Allen. Who knew zombies would bother hims so much.]...You okay?

Ya weren't even here for them.

[Just an unfortunate side effect of having been one before, good sirs. But! Allen's pulling himself back together again ― visibly. Back straight, shoulders back, chin up. Smile.]

I'm fine. They haven't been back since I got here, thankfully.

[He speeds up slightly, as if it's possible to physically walk away from permanent mental scarring.]

[ on a more serious note: ] There have been similar instances, though. Someone who's been here before me said the dead came back as ghosts for a week, and just a few months ago, we could hear them―[ brow puckering ]―pounding underground.

[...There's really no better way of putting it.]

[Putting Allen's odd behavior aside, ghosts? Doable. Zombies? Okay, but people being buried alive... that's deeply distressing.]

... In the graveyard? Were you able to get them out?
