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.

... You're going to do something stupid.

[becomeanwarrior]

My whole life is a series of incredibly stupid decisions. I think we've well enough established that.

[cuterthancute]

So why add another?

[becomeanwarrior]

Because I'm a Detective, it's what I do. You can know you're walking into a trap all you like, but if it solves the case... well, that's gotta be worth it, right?

And because Judgeman pisses me the hell off.

[cuterthancute]

And because Judgeman pisses me the hell off.

That's an acceptable answer.

[becomeanwarrior]

It just happens that half the time what's needed to solve the case is really, really dumb.

[cuterthancute]

If you need help, just ask, I'm a professional Dark Mist killer.

[becomeanwarrior]

...My question is "How do you kill a chunk of Dark Mist without wiping out what it inhabits".

[cuterthancute]

... Easiest way would probably be a Dark Game.

[becomeanwarrior]

...Ugh, it would, wouldn't it.

That makes me feel all sorts of skeevy...

[cuterthancute]

Then I'll do it.

[becomeanwarrior]

I'd advise against it.

[cuterthancute]

I know, ask for help, but push comes to shove, I'm more ruthless and cold than you.

[becomeanwarrior]

You are, but...

This isn't someone I want you to fight.

[cuterthancute]

Dark Mist is to be fought and killed. No more, no less.

[Private to Shiroko]

[becomeanwarrior]

....It's Amaterasu. Bujinki Amaterasu.

I don't think the fragment in her is even much of 'Dark Mist' anymore. It shares a similar attitude but... that's all.

Re: [Private to Shiroko]

[cuterthancute]

That's enough reason to go in with killing intent, even if we do try to save them.

Re: [Private to Shinoko]

[becomeanwarrior]

...I don't agree. I think... I think she's benign. I just... can't say for certain.

Re: [Private to Shinoko]

[cuterthancute]

"Better safe than sorry."

Re: [Private to Shinoko]

[becomeanwarrior]

When the cost is someone's life in terms of being safe... not sure I can agree.

Re: [Private to Shinoko]

[cuterthancute]

Like I said.

I'm more ruthless than you.
