For anyone who is interested, I'm going to be busy, and likely out of town for the next couple days. SpecInv should still be running at full capacity, any concerns and calls for assistance should be forwarded to Miss Mikata. She'll be able to get a hold of me if it's an emergency.

Shiroko also has my number, should that be a bit too... clinical.

[Private to Adam Van Der Aart/Onee]

I'm gonna be making some house calls, and then I'm ready to go on this trek whenever you are.

[Private Event]

[He's standing outside a door on the Island, the Duel Academy's faculty housing. He has a small care package of baked goodies and various board games. He lets out a breath.]

Here goes.

[And he's knocking.]

....alright.

[She sighs.]

Telepathy and emotional connections are very difficult to forge. I don't think I or Juudai would feel comfortable asking any of the members of SAI to undertake something so potentially strenuous.

...Isabel is very different. She's gained a great deal of mental tenacity the last few years. She...may be able to help you. If you can contact her and she's willing to help

[Deep breath. She looks back up at Onni.]

...she's in the forest. The Naturia Forest. She's joined the rank of the forest hunters, those charged with protecting the Naturia Sacred Tree from harm.

[He nods at her explanation, frowning a bit.]

The Naturia forest, huh? I guess I should have expected that...

As far as her being willing to help... well, anything's worth trying once. And hey, maybe she'll agree if she realizes she gets to hold it over my head for a while.

Well...at any rate, to contact her...

...one way would be to use the Earthen Gates network. All of the Hunters are connected by stones made from the scales of the Earthen Keeper. When one hunter is in danger or needs the assistance of another, the stones resonate. And I know those who went to the forest a short while ago came back as hunters.

...the other way would be to use her mark. Even though she's very far gone, the Signers are still connected. If you can get one or more of the other Signers to reach out to her...it could be enough to catch her attention and bring her here.

So either by one of the people who went to the forest... or talk to one of the Signers.

Alright, I suppose those are good ways to try and reach her. I don't know if she'll come, but... well. That's gonna be as best as I can do, I suspect.

[He sighs.]

Really need to work on trans-dimensional communications... this stuff can get, well. Pretty dicey, when push comes to shove.

Mmn.

The next easiest way would be to go to the Forest yourself, but that'd be...difficult, to say the least.

I think I can get ahold of the other Signers, should I need to. That'll probably be the easiest way - I keep pretty good contact with most of the others. So hopefully I won't have to go dimension-hopping more than I already do.

That's the main thing I needed, but... are you okay, at least? Is there anything I can do for you?

Unfortunately, I don't think there's much to be done for me except a lot of waiting. But, just seeing you has lifted my spirits, Onni. Thank you. I can't think of anything else you can do for me at the mo-

Mommy. [Grabs her sleeve.]

Can I go?

Hm?

Go where, dear?

I wanna go with him!

He's gonna talk to my uncles and aunts and their Signers, right?! I wanna see them too! And I wanna see Isabel too!

Hmmmmn.

[Desdemona lets out a sigh.] And getting to spend all day with you again was the one silver lining of my current condition... [She ruffles her daughter's hair.]

I know, I like it a lot too...but I wanna see some of my other family!

So, can I go? Please? I'll bring back Isabel and we can play with her too when I get back!

Well...

[Desdemona looks up at Onni.]

I think it's up to Mr. Haita.

[Corentine immediately stares at Onni, expectantly.

Try and say no to this face.]

[Onni is face to face with a small, excited child who wishes to come with him to watch him talk to the other Signers.

There is no will save in the world that can save him.]

I-I suppose if wanna tag along, it shouldn't be too bad...

YAY!

[She throws her arms around him. You never stood a chance.]

Thanks, Mr. Haita!

Please, you can call me Onni.

[She's so cute, he's gonna die. How can he even attempt to be cool around her? It's impossible.

Is there anyone in particular you wnated to go see? We can talk with them first.

Ummmmm.

[Still hanging off of him.]

Can we go see Auntie Diana?

Shinoko and Auntie Diana?

I think I can arrange that.

YEAH!

Let's go!

Alright, alright! [He's laughing, as we waves to Desdemona.]

Well, looks like we better get going. I promise I'll bring Corentine back soon, Desdemona.
