Seventy-Ninth Explosion

[Voice]

All that snow and not even a single yeti! Not even a yuki-onna?! I mean come on, this is the perfect chance for an interesting experiment and it's not even used?!

Oi! Oi! Did anyone see either of those? Maybe Jack Frost? I mean there was a Jack O'Lantern a while back, so there should be something like this for payback for all this stupid snow...

Rena! Where the hell're you? [A pause, and then someone might hear Shiki whine-yelling something in the background. And then Haruki groans audibly before he tags on, as an afterthought-] Neku, you too. How's things there?

SOS-Brigade, report! Statuses, now!

[and then there's a chirp from Sekai in the background and he closes his journal]

... Someone will come forward soon, I'm sure. Or Rena will herself.

[Voice]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. I know.

[But he's worried about the same thing; she is chummy with Minato, and Fina lives with Minato...

Oddly enough though, he's more concerned that Minato will (accidentally, that is) kill Rena more than Renna hurting either of them]

... How did she seem when you last saw her?

[Filtered]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Fine. Fine enough. ...She's been missing her billhook.

[Filtered]

[probablyacat.livejournal.com]

It's hidden away still?

[Filtered]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Yeah, kinda. ...I was considering giving it back for Christmas.

Do you really think that would've been a good idea? [There's no sarcasm or coldness to the way she asks -- it's more or less a "would you trust her to have it again and not use it on someone?" sort of thing.]

[...He's not sure. He grunts there and then- and then oddly-] I dunno. I mean- [...] There's a lotta other things you can beat or stab people with. And I think her not having this thing - a familiar item - is making her a little edgey.

[Still, there's no real certainly in his voice as he says any of that. It should go without saying that's why he chickened out of actually doing it]

... I see. [ ... ] Maybe it's for the best that you didn't. Not just yet, at least.

[Filtered]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Yeah... probably.

[..Tch.]

How's Hanyuu?

[Filtered]

[probablyacat.livejournal.com]

She's alright. [Short pause, then--] You haven't heard from her recently?

[Filtered]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Well, not since it snowed.

[Filtered]

[probablyacat.livejournal.com]

[Dammit, then he might've heard her song. ... Ffff, oh well, he knows most of their story anyway, even if that bit being known is a little annoying.]

I see ... We were baking and playing games that whole time, so I guess she didn't say much during the snowstorm. [... Well, that's half true, but the real truth isn't important.]

1/2

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Yeah... guess not. [...A then he waves his hand a little, shrugging]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[...and then he grows balls]

You better not have been doing that weird spicy food torture thing again.

[Filtered]

[probablyacat.livejournal.com]

I didn't. [She just put chili powder in some tea, that's all.]

[Filtered]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

...Good.

Mii-!
