Listen closely and you should be able to hear

This smell... There's no mistake.

[Haruka lets out a harsh cough. The smell of blood doesn't bode well with him... Especially with things the way they are now.]

Dammit. Why did it have to happen here, of all places?

Kantarou, I have a favor. Translate this message so that the others will be able to understand. There's no time to argue.

Everyone who is in the high school, listen to me carefully! There is the_police_girl wandering around, who smells like blood... Her footsteps are leaving a trail in the halls, so madwashu might have already--...

[...] Stay together, and try to remain hidden. If you see anyone suspicious, then run away or contact someone immediately.

[[ooc the_police_girl is loose! This is a warning that goes out to mainly everyone currently inside of Mariner High School, who may not be able to recieve help from the outside while the kekkai is in place. However, it won't be that way for much longer.]]

.....

Wait. This feeling...

[...]

Oh, what the hell is this. ...Get out of the damn classroom already! I hate crowds.

[The communicator falls onto the street below with a clatter, the video feed fuzzy with static before revealing a rear view of Haruka standing in front of a Trance Rhino, poised and ready to attack with a sturdy mop in his hands. But where is his partner...?

The Noise charges at him, and blocks the impact of its horn with the handle of the mop. He gets pushed back, the soles of his shoes scraping against the ground. With a shout, he reaches one of his hands up and then brings it sharply down near the Rhino's face like a tiger attacking its prey. It falls back, and that's when the tengu rushes in with a relentless assault. Clawing and smacking at it with the mop.

The Noise doesn't go down easily, as its attempts at running Haruka through with its massive horn clearly show, but he ultimately becomes the victor as it finally fades into a wisp of formless... noise. He collapses to one knee, catching his breath.]

Haruka!

[Kantarou can be heard, running up to him where the camera can't catch it. There is quiet, until the sound of a fierce smack can be heard as Haruka hits his partner's hand away.]

Don't touch me!

[[ooc Comment log post for Kantarou! Also, Haruka has gone sort of aggro from the sudden death of Sakon.]]

[A heavy metal door creaks open, and Haruka can be heard shambling out.]

Ah... It hurts...

[He takes a step backwards, bumping hard into a wall and the communicator falls onto the ground with a clatter. The camera is switched on in an upview by accident. He can be seen standing up uneasily and pressing a hand against his skull, as if in pain.]

No... Stop...

Don't!!

[He falls to his knees, panting and his eyes open wide in shock. He is sweating badly, and breathing heavily.] Ah... Ah... .....!!

[Suddenly, he turns his head slowly to the side, before his eyes widen. Once again, he holds his head with his hands, as if trying to shut something out.] Ugh...

Shut up!!

[He yells outs, holding onto his head while his eyes gain a crazed and desperate look.]

SHUT UP!! Just shut the fuck up!!

[Huff] That's right... Just keep quiet... I...

[He quickly stands up, moving out of view. There is silence, but the video of the communicator experiences more visual static than before, even if it's just a view of the sky.]

What's wrong?

It was you... It was you who taught me this... Fuji...

[[ooc Haruka just experienced a flash of his memories in the form of the ghostly vision of Fuji, his previous master who had sealed him away. He is unharmed, but very traumatized. Feel free to talk to tag him, but he probably will be reluctant to answer and won't be coming back to the high school or the Northern Lights anytime soon.]]

It's irritating. I don't care much for the missing two days...

Apart from what I can't remember, nothing about me or this city has changed.

I'd like to think that Sorata's theory holds some weight in this, because I don't want to believe that I've only ended up losing more of the memories that I had in this city. If that was part of some kind of joke, then I'm not laughing.

[He gives a grunt off-radio, and then the communicator is switched to the default audio mode. He speaks in Japanese.]

I'm going out for awhile.

[There is a jingle from his shakujou, and then the sound of footsteps across the floor until they eventually fade out and the transmission times out.]

[The frequency is silent for a few seconds, until the distinct sound of rummaging can be heard in the background. Books are being pushed aside, papers are falling onto the floor and desks are being picked up and pushed aside with a screech or even a hollow, resounding bang of metal.]

[Soon Haruka pipes up, clearly agitated.] Dammit! Where the hell is it!?

I just had it with me last night!

[He growls.]

Kantarou, if this is another one of your pranks, then I'm not laughing.

What did you do with my chawan!?

[[ooc For those who didn't know, tengu have a habit of using the same chawan for the rest of their lives, and so it is sort of an irreplaceable item for them. Haruka is obsessed with his, and so the idea that it has been misplaced has him freaking out over it.]]
