[ So those of you paying attention to the news this morning might have noticed a story: "Private Security Director Condemns Anti-Spirit Actions" - news about a press conference held by OOPARTS Joint Security Firm - with Onni as cleaned up as he gets. Soundbites from the conference were probably played over the course of the day-
"My team and I are dedicated not just to protecting people from supernatural threats, but protecting the supernatural from human threats. Mr. Tsuyoshi's actions were not just inexcusable within the confines of the Action Duel World Championships, but also to me, personally, as someone working to constantly bridge the gap between Spirits and Humans. While diplomacy is the purview of my colleague and friend Mr. Yuuki and the Spirit-Arcadia Institute, it's up to us to make sure that in situations like this, we keep violent outbursts like Mr. Tsuyoshi's as isolated an incident as possible."
Beyond that, it's accompanied by the usual media gossip. Mostly this being Onni's first 'official' public appearance as Director of OOPARTs, and since the "freak accident" on the set of a movie shoot which left him hospitalized for several weeks - which was quickly followed by a vacation shortly after the appearance of the 'Mystery Island'. Not counting the fact that he revealed himself during the Action Duel World Championship as the mysterious "Kamnen Shinshi" - and placed Top 4 before being eliminated by Juudai. ]
Well, that press conference could have gone worse, I suppose. One day I'll get used to media appearances.

Alright, I think that things have calmed down from the moment, but we have a fair amount to investigate, I think - namely, I want to know who put these ideas into Mr. Tsuyoshi's head.
There's also a few other avenues I think we can explore privately on some other leads, maybe make some headway in all directions. I can think of... a few things, anyway.
If anyone has anything they want to bring up, feel free to speak up.
[Event]
[ The third floor of the OOPARTs Building is reserved mostly for administrative efforts - some of the Twelve Peers are up here, having moved to record-keeping duty after the move to OOPARTS.
However, the biggest room is, without doubt, the Director's - that is to say, Onni's - office. A huge screen on the back wall, behind his desk - which, while shiny and new, is already in its usual disarray, as he's working on something or other - small machines, right now. Hobbyist enthusiasts. There are a number of scattered blueprints, incident reports, and to-do-lists that strewn about the desk.
Onni's office, for all it's stature, has an 'open door' policy. If you wished to talk to him - either because he called you here himself or because you need to talk with him, he's here. ]

[Private Thread]
Maybe he just had the ideas himself. There's some kooky folks out there.
[Private Thread]
It seems too convenient to think he just got these ideas into his head himself.
Re: [Private Thread]
Well, he's part of that pretty rough school, right? Ryozanpaku? Or at least was.
I seem to recall that the press release they gave basically amounted to "we're all for teaching people how to defend themselves against monsters", even if they condoned his enthusiasm for it.
I have to wonder how far their own lessons go in necessitating that?
[Private Thread]
Especially if their style is as brutal as he was.
Re: [Private Thread]
One has to learn before they repeat.
But I guess a real question is, why did the Action Dueling officials allow so much from him?
Why did they allow for a No Disqualification ruling on his duel with Isabel, when it's clear what his intentions were?
Re: [Private Thread]
...Come to think of it, he was escorted out by the event's private security, too, huh... Little convenient, that.
Re: [Private Thread]
Someone obviously was pushing for him to stay in, no matter what.
But I guess it depends on how you look at it. Did he get forced to stay in, because it was expected that he'd get beaten up in response, or did he stay in because he was spreading the rhetoric that they wanted?

You're doing a good job mister!

Ah- but my manners - I don't think I know your name.
no subject
Oh right, manners, sorry! I am Trendafilka Adelina Cardozo, the best duelist at LDS, humble fifteen year old girl, and extremely pretty!

My birth father says he works with a bunch of strong people. If you're director, you have to be super strong, right? You're a good duelist, I saw that!
Roll? Duel?
no subject
...Your birth father?
[He's reaching conclusions very fast.]
no subject
So, if you're figuring it out Mr. Detective, I repeat: Roll? Duel?
no subject
He sets the person down gently in a chair, shit eating grin on his face. If there's another chair, he sits in it and kicks his feet up onto whatever's handy, but not the top of the desk. If there is not, he leans against the wall.
"Oy, Haita! Thought 'bout crashin' through yer window on my bike, but I'm pretty sure I'd 'afta pay fer 'property damage' an' yer 'ole lil' police academy'd be on alert an' I dun feel like makin' nerd piles today. Thought I'd speed this shit up, 'ere's yer Spookymasu."
no subject
the only reason Cyril didn't end up clawed is cause he was so in shock that anyone just grabbed him and carried him here, that he didn't even think to react.*
no subject
Anyway, uh, yes. Helloo, Sadame, I wanted to talk to you about some things.
[He seems relatively unperturbed by Cyril's... Cyrilness.]
no subject
... What exactly did you want to speak to me about?
no subject
[A light, polite cough.]
A-anyway. I meant to speak to you about... well. I guess I'll be blunt. Have there been any... recent temporal disturbances, that you can identify?
no subject
no subject
no subject
I was... disposed of for a week or so, before the last Duel Academy class graduated.
The only temporal disturbance I clearly felt was, ah... *... he seems to think.*
I do not think I can tell you that.
no subject
[His eyebrows shoot up into his hair.]
no subject
no subject
But... there we no other disturbances, then?
no subject
I did feel a vague sense of it, around the school, with the new year... But nothing that I could pinpoint.
It is normal that I sometimes feel a vague sense of temporal disturbance, however.
I feel that no one has any true appreciation for spatial stability.

"Ah-fuckin'-ha. I called this shit from a mile fuckin' 'way! I dun need money from ya yet nerd, but my bill's in the mail, but fer now, I'm gonna bask in bein' right as fuck. Shit, this means 'e's prolly on that fuckin' island most o' the time, ain't 'e? Fuck. A boat? Tram's outta the question... I'll figure it out. Maybe send the lil' fuckin' sea serpent.
Anyfuckinway, it means that they're all fuckin' roped together." Cyril gives you both a thumbs up as he leaves, cackling.
no subject
He points at Cyril leaving. after he's left.*
Is there something that I have missed?
[OOPARTS Filter]
Things to keep note:
■ Kaz lost two of the Numbers he had on hand. I'm wondering if we should terminate him over it as he lost them months ago and only just realized.
■ I keep seeing claims that "Something is coming"
■ There's a group of new Samasus that showed up, the commonality is they all seem to be using aliases of the Monarch Vassal.
■ There's been a rise here and there in the city of Spirits / Spirit Sympathizers being attacked but it's still super low key.

So anything I should be kept apprised of?
