[The following message is private to the investigative types/teams that are working right now. Signers, Noriko & her Security Force, SpecInv, SAI, etc. It is also being forwarded to Alex and Yuma. They can't contribute to the conversation as it's happening, but they can at least see the discussions. Desdemona also obviously has access to this conversation, despite being hospitalized.]

Alright, it's time for me to show the web I've been working on, now that I have a clear lead. More heads on this, the better.

Ettosyleit - This is what connects everything. It's a place, specifically, it's apparently the place these 'Demons' come from, since one of them mentioned it to Yuma-kun. What it is exactly and where it's located is a bit harder to exactly place - we don't have good leads. The other lead I've got on it is the 'The brighter the light, the greater the shadow cast from it'. Which, on its own, sounds like either some form of corruption, or a 'dark reflection'. Your own shadow brought to arms against you. This is important, because...

Dark Mist - Presumed dead, possibly may not be, I've got some theories on this one. But one thing I think is coming to light - Dark Mist may be from Ettosyleit, as well. It's a strong possibility, especially since Yuma-kun confirmed that the demons can do what we thought was limited to Dark Mist - Chaos Draw. Now... I have a theory that Dark Mist isn't dead. I don't have much to back this up, other than, apparently, all of Dark Mist's 'shards', fragments of itself it leaves in its victims, must be destroyed. However, there is at least one fragment that still exists out there, but does not have Dark Mist's mind attached to it. Thus, I feel like another shard we don't know of is out there, trying to coordinate the others to some end. You're free to argue against that.

The Numeral Hunters - Connected to Ettosyleit through Dark Mist, since Dark Mist is both something from Ettosyleit and Number 96. There equipment may also have some relation to it, but that's spitball theorycrafting, as I was given a hint that Ettosyleit might be why the 'old group' of Number Hunter are no longer existent.

Rank-Up-Magic - Tenuous, but even so, it's there. Dark Mist was able to use Rank-Up-Magic Inner Demon's Force to provoke people even further. Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force, which has been seen in a few cases, seems to have similar abilities - to 'Evolve' a Number and cause the Number and the person possessing them, regardless of whether or not they were operating well in tandem or not, to get aggressive and possibly even malicious. Is Rank-Up-Magic connected directly to Ettosyleit? I'm not sure. It doesn't quite fit, but I'm not sure what the other options are.

The Message - Who sent it? We haven't been able to trace the message back to an original signal, to my knowledge, and whoever sent it already knows about Ettosyleit and the Demons. They don't want to be known, which makes me suspect they have their own motives. They could be connected to the Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force we've been seeing, they could be connected to something else entirely. We just don't have enough info on that.

The "Draws" - Yuma can 'Shining Draw', the Demons and Dark Mist can 'Chaos Draw', and presumably there are other ways to pull off this technique - a perfect escape, a perfect trump. Call it what you will, it's a very strange ability that seems to be connected to everything here. Figuring out why might be a first step.

Judgeman - The man behind at least one of the Numeral Hunters, working to find Dark Mist and the other Numbers and reclaim them by any means necessary. I think it's well enough agreed upon that Judgeman is hiding something to give him an excuse to run roughshod over us, and that personally pisses me off, but on a investigation level, he might know exactly why the Numeral Hunters have a connection to Ettosyleit.



...That's the majority of what I have right now. I'm still working on the exact leads. But everything going on connects to everything else. Feel free to discuss and debate on these points. They aren't perfect, but I figure that's a good enough launching point.

Dark Mist is dead.

It got stabbed dead by Ancient Fairy Dragon.

Brutally.

Dark Mist died in France.

I brought their corpse back.

I know for a fact she is deader than dead and can't come back.

Dark Mist had a female body when Ancient Fairy killed her.

Okay, listen. I don't like cops. I don't really want to talk to you. But I gotta say it, even if Shinoko doesn't want to accept it.

I think there's a chance that wasn't the only Dark Mist in existence. That might've been the only full, complete Dark Mist on Earth, likely, but that doesn't mean we don't know what they might've done as back-up plans elsewhere.

I'm just talking trains of thought, here. No one knows if there is another Dark Mist around.

But since they seem pretty capable of spreading themselves around, it wouldn't be a shock. They've been at more places than Earth, after all.

The only reason I don't think there's one on Earth is cause Dark Mist strikes me as... kinda a diva. They liked the attention.

[Alexandra spikes her phone when she sees who the message is from.

Then she picks it back up and reads the message.

Then she starts writing a message, scraps it and starts over several times:]

'Leave me alo'
'Don't need or want your stupid intel, go to he'
'Stop sitting on your ass writing up pointless recaps and go do something usef'
'Screw y'
'Fuck y'
'Go to h'







'Looked it over. Tha'


[Eventually, she just spikes her phone again, lays back on her bed and puts her hands over her face without sending anything.]

This might be me being stupid.

But if Dark Mist is from Ettosyleit, and they know how to Chaos Draw, then why did Dark Mist need to seemingly do all this research using Shinoko and Ancient Fairy Dragon and all this Rank-Up nonsense??
whitrthanwhite: (May I Help You?)

[personal profile] whitrthanwhite 2015-09-20 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
If only there was someone who implicitly understood how Dark Mist thought.

Of course you don't.

Sheer amount of coincidental inconvenience.

What about that spear Mobius mentioned?

And that "Lost Civilization"?
mynameis_legion: (I Believe So)

[personal profile] mynameis_legion 2015-09-20 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I think it's integral.

This Lost Civilization and this entire conspiracy are tied together.

And that spear is also likely relevant.

A hunch from my days where I couldn't get back to Japan because of an infinite series of ever increasing layovers.
mynameis_legion: (I Believe So)

[personal profile] mynameis_legion 2015-09-21 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Hrm. Speaking of "Lost Civilizations"... weren't there a number of Numbers related to such a concept?

So is that a request for me to find her.

[personal profile] mynameis_legion 2015-09-21 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Lovely.

As long as there's even a tenuous connection... The Rank-Up-Magic problem is what I'm most concerned about, right now.

You think that whoever sent that warning though might be connected to it? Why would you begin to guess it? There has to be a reason.
guardsthestorm: (Don't have time.)

[personal profile] guardsthestorm 2015-09-21 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess the question here is "how much of a connection".
