Journal Post

Professor Kantai, I think I just noticed a student being dragged into a white van which just drove off, with masked individuals.

Mr. Haita, we're proceeding to head after a group that have kidnapped a student.

Comments

When and where.

[danse_etoile]

The street where I got attacked and just as the sun set.

It was Ms. Fukaizumi Kurako, one of Kamala's friends. The one who is always floating and eating.

[thefrozenstorm]

I'll be at the location shortly. Did you inform the authorities yet?

[danse_etoile]

... Oh right, I'm used to the police being so hostile to this sort of thing I haven't.

[thefrozenstorm]

I feel like Haita will get annoyed at us if we don't give a heads up, at least.

[danse_etoile]

Added to my initial message, I'm following them on a D-Wheel.

[thefrozenstorm]

I'll track you down, then.

::You find Asuka in a light bomber jacket and a helmet on her head, on a white-blue D-Wheel she's trying to keep out of sight.

She's parked near a series of warehouses, using binoculars, waiting for you.::

*is coming up once he spots you, joining you quietly. ... it isn't until he clears his throat that someone might even notice him*

Here, then?

Re: [Event]

[danse_etoile]

Yes. Whoever grabbed her, they apparently have guns and swords. ... Though I'm not sure how serious they are.

Re: [Event]

[thefrozenstorm]

My expectation is that they're for show, but nothing is more dangerous than a weapon in the hands of someone who doesn't know what they're actually doing, let alone having any idea at all.

My immediate thought is that one of us should cause a distraction while the other frees the student, at minimum.

Re: [Event]

[danse_etoile]

Not just that. They have.

Ridiculous accessories.

... Hrm, I don't have any super powers, so. Which position would it be smarter for me to take, do you think?

Re: [Event]

[thefrozenstorm]

As much as I'd probably be quieter, I'm definitely the one with super powers, in this equation. So I think I should draw their attention, while you slip in to do the rescue.

Of course, it does mean they might try to field a complaint later, claiming ridiculous things... but that just means we need to get evidence, in case they try to escape.

Re: [Event]

[danse_etoile]

... Such as?

::Blinks.::

Re: [Event]

[thefrozenstorm]

Making a video recording on your phone might help, if you get the chance to. *clearing his throat*

I'd do it, but it takes a few times for anything electrical to actually function when I want to use it, for some reason.

Re: [Event]

[danse_etoile]

... I wonder if one of the more modern Duel Disks has a silent recording function...

::Holds up one that looks like a smartphone honestly.::

Re: [Event]

[thefrozenstorm]

I'm pretty sure most of these have some form of recording function in them at this point, honestly.

Re: [Event]

[danse_etoile]

Then I should be able to do that, record while also having my disk on in case I have to Duel.

And I... have something I haven't tried but that's a last resort of my last resorts.

Re: [Event]

[thefrozenstorm]

Hopefully we'll be able to avoid that-- don't want to put all your bets on something untested, right?

I'll go cause a distraction, then. If I'm lucky, I can get up close enough to catch them off-guard, anyway.

Re: [Event]

[danse_etoile]

Right. Just try not to reel too hard at how ridiculously they might be... accessorized.

Re: [Event]

[thefrozenstorm]

I'll... brace myself for it.

*he goes on his way. he's going to try to stay out of sight at first at least as he approaches from the front way...*

::... You encounter three masked men with 'TactiCool' Gear. i.e. people who bought surplus JSDF equipment but don't know how to use it all properly.

One has duct taped his rifle to his head.

Another has a tutu around his waist.

The third has three 'Top Gun' logo hats and pink-green flippers on their feet.::

[ This probably comes in just as Seku and Asuka are getting into action. ]

Heard and received, Mrs. Yuuki. I'll let you and Professor Kantai handle it - Sector Security would likely aggravate the situation if you aren't going in 'guns blazing', I think is the term. That said, if you need backup, say the word, I will have them on standby.

Please contact me after you resolve it, if you don't reach out beforehand, so we can debrief.

[danse_etoile]

We dealt with it as best we could, we need at least four individuals picked up. Three are in violation of the Firearms Laws, and the Fourth is likely well lawyered up.

[Later...]

[duelacademynpcs]

::A limo stops by the wrecked warehouse after Onni cleans up.::

Problematic. Make sure the men picked up get lawyers, or if they squealed, cyanide pills and dispose of their families.

The monster child was necessary for our backer to complete his side of our agreement.

But, no matter, Japan will soon be cleansed of this monster filth, and they'll be put in their place.

::The masked man turns to masked soldiers and men in black.::

Meanwhile, I have business to attend to and my son's birthday next week.
