This is your friendly reminder that harmful supernatural activity has been on the rise as of late. Special Investigations is doing all it can to track down the source of these issues and resolve them. If you see anything amiss, do not hesitate to contact me, Niyo, or, in an emergency, flag down a Twelve Peers Supernatural Patrol Unit. They're there to let us know when shit goes down. Thank you.

Adam and I are back from our chat with Mobius. The short version is that Mobius is willing to back us in a "Vote of No Confidence" that'll stop Judgeman in his tracks if we can find hard evidence of Judgeman's shady behavior, but the Numeral Hunter's 'existence' here isn't that. But he's definitely hiding something. Something that, if Mobius' clues are anything to go off of, connected to the Number Hunter.

There's been two squads. There's the current Number Hunter that's here on Earth, and an 'original' squad that apparently ended very, very badly. I don't know the details.

...There's also a noun he mentioned. Ettosyleit. It's not any language I recognize. Maybe someone else will? It seems like something that connects to all of this, it's the only hint Mobius could give us.

Also, there's a possibility that 'Amy', aka the Bujinki Amaterasu currently residing at the hotel, is involved. He referenced the Amenonuhoko and Takama-Ga-Hara, and the fact that Amaterasu's existence is 'myth', which is shorthand for "we've tried to bury it". As far as why... I don't know.

Additionally, there is a chance that Dark Mist isn't dead, but as to why, we aren't... entirely sure. Though its connection to Yuma's number seems all the more pronounced, now.

And we still don't exactly know how the Rank-Up-Magics fit in all of this, either.

We've got some leads to go on... but we've got more questions than answers, too.

So. The original Number Hunter is considered fair game.

Ettosyleit

... Hrm.

Hasn't she basically said she Amaterasu, but she acts nothing... but. Ugh. Grgh...

[becomeanwarrior]

He's a goon of Judgeman's. Detain him if at all possible, but yes.

And... yes, I'm aware of how frustrating Amaterasu can be.

[thefifthmonarch]

Thing though with Amaterasu is.

She's supposed to be even more of a myth than me.

She's the sort of myth that doesn't have any grounding in reality. Ditto Takama-Ga-Hara.

[becomeanwarrior]

...Yeah, I don't know...

ugh. I have to ask her about this stuff.

[theheadmonarch]

Fine. But only because you two get along so well.

[becomeanwarrior]

...Thanks.

I promise it'll work out.

[becomeanwarrior]

On another note.

You can create cards, right?

[cuterthancute]

Additionally, there is a chance that Dark Mist isn't dead,

You're mistaken.

[becomeanwarrior]

...I really wish I was.

[cuterthancute]

I saw them die.

You don't escape death like that.

They're gone. Fin. Kapoot.

[becomeanwarrior]

...Adam and I got to thinking, because Mobius said... it wasn't enough.

We think... we think Dark Mist's corruption of people can manifest a new Dark Mist, that absorbs the fragments of what it was.

[cuterthancute]

Which it can't.

We got rid of all of its fragments.

[becomeanwarrior]

...I think there's one more.

But, I'm not sure what to do about it.

Don't mess with the Numeral Hunter.

Tell Juudai and SAI the same thing.

[Private Message]

[becomeanwarrior]

You know I can't just accept that at face value.

Why?

Re: [Private Message]

[grimgrimwar]

Because you're all way worse at dueling than I am, so he'll definitely beat you and then his dragon will eat you.

Re: [Private Message]

[becomeanwarrior]

We've been up against worse odds. And I might not e a great duelist, but you really think Juudai couldn't handle him?

...Look, given the scene that's been caused, I can't exactly pull back the patrols. It'd be a PR nightmare. Even if, for example, I wanted to heed your words, I'd probably be saying "I'm a big incompetent loser, please fire me and all my subordinates!"

Re: [Private Message]

[grimgrimwar]

...

...

And?

Re: [Private Message]

[becomeanwarrior]

You know, I really missed this. Makes me wonder why we stopped.

The point is, I've got a lot of personal tech invested in SpecInv. If I make a slip up big enough that the brass figures it's etter kicking us out and working with the tech themselves, then they're going to have all that experimental shit they won't have a clue how to work with and very little restraint to use it.

[Private Follow-Up to SAI and Investigators]

[becomeanwarrior]

...Based on the intel I have received, I am recommending that all other people keep a safe distance from the Number Hunter.

It seems to me he's operating on a level very few of us can match, and there's a very likely chance of serious injury when engaging him. Only confront him in groups, and only do so if you're certain that apprehending his is a possibility.

...In addition, while a lower priority than the Numeral Hunter, "Alexandra Grant" is to be brought in for questioning regarding her involvement in these affairs and possession of Number Hunter equipment. Should you need to choose between the two, it is my official recommendation that people pursue the nameless Number Hunter and let Alex escape, however, this does not me she should be allowed to roam free, either.

In any case, give the Hunter a wide berth, unless you're absolutely certain you can either 1) take him on or 2) deal with a very nasty and unpleasant loss.

There's a reason Euphie and Akae are both essentially under house arrest outside of school.

Re: [Private Follow-Up to SAI and Investigators]

[becomeanwarrior]

I'm so furious I may need glasses just to see straight.

Re: [Private Follow-Up to SAI and Investigators]

[theheadmonarch]

Go take a break. You won't do anyone any good being in a foul mood, Onni. Take this as both your teacher and your friend and your classmate.

Re: [Private Follow-Up to SAI and Investigators]

[becomeanwarrior]

Rnnghghgh...

Fine. I'll go take a lie-down. But I think that's just gonna cool off my anger instead of making it go away.

Re: [Private Follow-Up to SAI and Investigators]

[theheadmonarch]

Anger's fine, just control it, don't let it drive you blindly.
